Sehabis Mendung

kita pernah bermimpi
memasuki kawah-kawah candi
yang menyimpan patung seorang dewi

di tangannya ada rumah kita
yang menggenang
sehabis mendung

setelah tiba di antara kedua jemarinya
yang lebar
kita melupakan doa yang mesti dibawa
dan akan diamini oleh roh-roh leluhur
penjaga rumah

telinga kita menopang bunga.
kau lebih suka yang kuning
sedang aku suka yang merah.
lalu mereka sama-sama tumbuh
kemudian mekar memenuhi pengupingan kita

sehabis mendung
doa-doa kita bermunculan
dari putik bunga yang tumbuh

sehabis mendung
bunga-bunga kita mekar
menudungi rambut-rambut kita yang kehabisan tenaga

sehabis mendung
ketika kita memuarakan segala nasib pada candi
bersama seorang dewi
kita senantiasa mendengar bisikan parau
entah suara atau dengungan bahkan dentuman
yang begitu hebat
hingga hanya ada satu yang kita ingat

:
sehabis mendung
kita menunduk rendah.
tapi kali ini
kita merapatkan tangan untuk mengamini doa-doa
yang pernah lupa dibawa

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...
