Senyum Tersembunyi

--kepada Ampera



entah bagaimana aku dapat melukiskan wajahmu
mejameja retak ketika dimulai garis pertama
yang membentuk sudut lengkung lehermu

aku tidak akan mengawali atau mengingat
arsiran yang dimuarakan ke sarafkulitmu
mungkin kau akan peka ketika melihatnya

tapi di sinilah gambarmu akan benar-benar bicara
karena kertas ini yang meminta wajahmu yang basah

ingatlah ketika
tanganku mesti senantiasa lembab dan berlumut.
lalu kau hanya diam dan berkata
:
"hatikulah yang tersenyum sebenarnya
bibir tipis dengan gincu pucat ini
hanyalah tipudaya. kalau kauingin melihat bagaimana
senyum itu menetas
masuklah ke dalam bajuku
lalu kau akan menemui sepasang pisau
untuk memotong rusukku yang tumbuh liar
di dalamnya mengalir darah dari segala
galau dan risau. maka sumbernya adalah hati
ltulah senyumanku yang paling tersembunyi"

aku makin gemetar
yang kulihat melalui lubanglubang
yang kasap cahaya
semua menganak dari hatimu

inilah sungai
sebagai sumber yang amat abadi
dari dadamu yang banyak pertanda
senyummu dapat kubelah
lalu aku simpan
di dada : tempat yang katamu tersembunyi

And I Said Yes, I Will

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 ...
