What Do I Have?

I own nothing. Literally nothing. 

I don't own my clothes,

nor my bags and all the money in my account,

nor the perfumes that are exotic in the drawer,

nor the blanket that coats me with beautiful dreams and the solid hours of sleep,

nor the stable signal from the wifi,

nor the electricity that keeps my rooms cold and comfy

nor the phone calls from Mom - Dad - fiancé - sister - brother - friends - colleagues - boss

nor the journey I've been walked so far

So why bother to be afraid of losing things

when everything doesn't belong to me. 

I own nothing, literally nothing. 

Not even death which tastes bitter.

Not even lost which fears me.

So why it feels so heavy when things don't please me

Do I even own my own feelings?

I think but all of those things spiraling in my mind, I don't own it.


What can I do was to be present,

to acknowledge that I belong to something greater

to my knowledge (that actually doesn't belong to me).

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!

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...

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

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea?
