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

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...
