Majesti

: Majesti

seperti katamu, Majesti
malam ini aku menemukan orang-orang dalam musik.
pada suara kecapi dalam sebuah pesta
dan sebuah perkawinan
aku kembali menemukan
pakaian-pakaian ketat
ada tubuhmu yang sedang menari-nari di atas
upacara perkawinan itu
antara kucingku dan kucingmu yang pernah
kutitipkan sebatang lilin di hatinya
telah menjadi batu yang begitu hijau

ketika mataku menatap kecamata
pada air itu, Majesti
aku hanya menemukan bermeter-meter
jalan beraspal yang dulu aku pelajari
di bangku pesakitan
:dari metana lalu prosesnya
di mesin-mesin dan pabrik kimia

seperti katamu, Majesti
akan lewat tangisan anak-anak
yang baru mengenal warna ibu dan bapaknya
yang baru mengenal siapa yang membagi musim
dan tempat-tempatnya

aku hanya mendengar katamu
bahwa kita akan bertemu
di pesta dan perkawinan lainkali
lalu mengingat batu yang paling hijau
di tarian kita nanti, Majesti


sekayu, 2010

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...
