Itulah Air Mata

menulis kata malam
seperti pada cuaca ombak di pantai
kita begitu asing

seketika menjadi buas
pada dada-dada laut yang mengusir
deras gelombang
malam mengirimkan sesuatu padaku
tantang sebuah keberuntungan

katakan pada anak kita
yang kemarin bermain dengan cerutu
bapak tirinya
bawakan sebotol bir
dan rerekah bunga yang membuat kita
menjadi dingin

dan suara
telah sampai dan mendesir
sedang di telingaku ketika menderas
menjadi senjata orang-orangan hujan
yang sarat dengan kegelapan

”bangkitlah dari pejaman yang pernah memimpikan
kita menjadi sepasang gurita yang bercangkang
lupakan bahwa laut pernah membawamu
menyeberangi sebuah jembatan yang
dapat menghubungkan dunia pada luar jendela
lalu kamarku
masih belum dapat berisik
oleh kotak musik yang pernah kulihat
di pasar-pasar”

malam ini
di bawah kekejaman suara
aku ingin kita menyeka langit
menghentikan kiriman dari perahu seberang
: itulah air mata

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
