Kepada Dinda

bacalah buku-buku itu dengan tenang
rebahkan kedua tanganmu di atas sampulnya
sebab wajahku telah membaca risau dan peluhmu

usaplah dadamu yang sarat kerinduan
sebab hatiku menerka atas apa,
semua rasa itu bersumber
:dari segala waktumu yang meluap lewat pundak
mama dan papa.
sebenarnya ada harapan-harapan
yang muncul bersamaan hari kelahiranmu
bila kau menghitungnya dari sekarang
cukup membutuhkan empat malam purnama
dan ratusan matahari yang siap dipanah
tepat di tengah sumbu dan nyalanya
mungkin saja kau akan menggigil bertanya-tanya
di saat malam makin meranum
atau mungkin malah merasa mengantuk berulangkali
di saat anak matahari kembali dilahirkan
dari arah timur rahim ibunya

dengarlah gemeretak cangkir-cangkir yang
ada di mejatamu sebelah sana
kau tak perlu keluar dari peraduan untuk mendengarnya
pengupinganmu pasti cukup kuat untuk mengumpulkan dan
memisahkan mana bunyi yang begitu sendu untuk diartikan
mana bunyi yang begitu asing untuk dihilangkan

rasakanlah bagaimana gerak orang-oarang di hadapanmu
lalu tiba-tiba di samping, akan bermunculan
lekuk alir yang baru
rimbun bulu mata yang sahdu
dan barangkali hidung berlubang ganjil
antara tiga dan satu

lihatlah betapa seisi ruangan kaca ini
sudah lama mengeruh akibat menampang
berkilo-kilo tetes air yang bersumber jauh.
kau dapati dirimu di dalamnya
serupa bongkahan-bongkahan abu yang hablur
di antaranya ada yang langsung jatuh dekat kakimu
sisanya
satu persatu beterbangan menuju keluasan
lingkar pusar perutmu yang lapar
maka hancurlah kamu seketika

bersabarlah
keseluruhan kata-kata yang kutulis ini
tidak akan sia-sia dan terbuangpercuma
sebab beberapa di antara celah mereka
kuselipkan kisah nyata kehidupan kita
hidupmu penuh bahagia dan makna
hidupku penuh keluh dan raungan
yang senantiasa tak bisa
sempurna untuk dituntaskan

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
