SI PEGITAR

The Old Guitarist
An oil painting by Pablo Picasso
Hari-hari bergerak melambat
Dan kita seolah terseret
dengan begitu terpaksa
dari satu jalan menuju yang lainnya
Jam-jam di dinding nampak kaku
Tiktok mulai terdengar tidak nyaring
Kecuali derap langkah kita
terkoyak di antara kesunyian

Aku melihat bayangan
Dari balik etalase
matahari yang hampir susut itu sedang menyedot kita
Kepala hingga bahu
menjadi sedikit lebih lonjong dan sempit
Perut dan tangan menjadi tak dapat dibedakan
Keduanya seolah pasrah sedang terjepit
Dan tinggal kaki
Terlipat dan kaku
Menjadi yang terpantul sia-sia

Sedang waktu
adalah materi yang begitu dekat dengan kita

Orientasi malam dan siang
Panjang interval pagi dan sore
berputar bergantian
memikat dan menjerat
Kita dininabobokkan
Bahwasanya melepaskan diri
adalah akhir yang harus dihindari
Maklumat kematian -begitu naas

Sudah sekian lama
aku ingin mencapaimu
Mengejar yang hampir digenggam kedua tangan
Menarik ujung bajumu
Menghentikan sejenak kepergian

Rupanya di dada
Aku mendengar ceruk terdalam dan terkutuk
Gelembung udara yang meletup dan mendesing
O

Aku mencicipi ciuman yang getir
Sebab kesedihan
Terlanjur mengering di bulu mata

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...

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

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...
