NGERI MEMIKIRKAN KITA



Sedang di langit
Dan awan-awan kelabu
Datang mengiringi sajak kita yang hujan
Aku membawa sapu tangan dan menjadi gerimis di haluan
Jalan-jalan menuju pangkuanmu tiba-tiba meruntuh
Aku tidak ingin datang sia sia
Sebab usia di sini yang menua
Dan sajak gurun yang bergulir meniti
Pengakuan dan penebusan kita yg akhir
Menggenang di keluasan ketabahan

Sepertinya kita mesti gamang
Dalam bola matamu
Yang menjual kenangan selepas pergi
Dan datang kembali
Aku berjalan tanpa tepi
Lengkungan langit dan awan-awan
Kian meneduh
Pada ikatan tiket perjalanan masa depan

Sudah waktunya
Ketika seorang nabi
Turun menjadi wahyu cinta
Dan kita yang sempat hilang
Sedang sabda yang kadang menunjuk malu-malu
Bahwa kitalah sebenarnya menjadi jantung
Gemuruh dalam detak
Dan aku tidak nyenyak memikirkan kita

Lagit dan awan-awan jingga dalam kantong plastik
Ada rokok super dan pemantik
Ada garam dan gula pasir
Aku rindu pantai pada lukisan bungkus lolipop ini
Kita mesti berbagi jika ingin rasa manis itu
Tidak habis dalam tenggorokan yang memuntahkan hujan-hujan
Dalam kuali saat cinta sudah matang

Namun aku ragu
Mengatakan sebuah lidah di jantung ini
Membikin rasa baru
Dan mengenal yang lama sebagai
Langit dan awan-awan kelabu

Bis kota itu
Di sana kita pernah duduk diam
Menyaksikan bola lampu
Dan jalanan mulai licin sehabis hujan

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...
