: selamat pagi Sayang

/pukul lima/

perjalanan adalah titik nol jam lima pagi
berawal ketika hari masih gelap
dan hujan ketika kamu baru saja berangkat lima menit yang lalu
di jendela mobil bergerak bagai lidah menjilat langit-langit
menggeliat, membentur pelan
menggeliat dan kelu
di tengah perjamuan pertama hari ini
kamu sajikan kebiasaan yang terus berlangsung
pada potongan pertama keju yang tersimpan lama di kulkas
ada permukaan yang lebih pekat dan mengeras
kamu gigit tubuhnya satu persatu
rasa asin dan gurih yang terpisah
bercampur dengan pahit di ujung lidahmu
lalu semangkuk kaldu yang baru saja dipanaskan
menguap dan terangkat
di dadaku
iga-iga ganjil terbenam

pada tangan yang mendekap sebelum bepergian jauh
pada titik nol jarak antara kamu dan aku
pada mimpi kita yang terbaca lewat sepasang kaca spion
pada perjalanan yang terus terjadi
di sepanjang lintasan yang dingin
kita berkemas dan kabut pun hablur
aku di belakangmu
seperti sayap
lekat dan mengembang

*free verse berjudul Semesta, masing-masing pukul satu- pukul tiga- dan pukul lima, saya dedikasikan kepada tiga orang tersayang. Yang pertama ars magna, kedua ayah, dan ketiga d.o. mintaraga dengan menanggalkan segala macam bentuk keterikatan, superioritas, relasi kuasa, ekspektasi, dan prasangka.

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...
