tragedi itu
serupa wanita dalam dirimu
simbol kehidupan yang abadi

dalam samadi
ia pejamkan matanya
di atas nafas yang sungsang
ia kenangkan suatu masa
ketika fajar pertama di bumi
ia menciumi aroma langit yang masih baru
aroma tanah yang basah
rumput-rumput mungil yang masih kerap berdekapan
dan dirinya sendiri
di antara gunung-gunung yang rapat
lereng yang licin
dan sungai yang mengalir perlahan ke wajahnya

ia kecup air dalam tengadahnya
ia tuang dalam wajan
dalam loki dalam lubang matanya
dalam samadi dan igaunya
ada gejolak yang beriak
meluap perlahan dari satu titik tenang
bergerak mengikuti kemana gelombang yang teratur
menarik tubuhnya dalam genangan

sebagian tubuh terendam dalam air
air membasuh rambutnya
ombak yang gelisah malam hari
ombak yang menunggumu dari dalam dasar

di lehernya terikat namamu
nafas yang sesekali panjang
sesekali berdenyut
mengejutkan ujung lidah yang tipis dan kelu

serupa wanita
tragedi itu
muasal segala hidup
fajar pertama dalam diri

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...
