Entri terakhir: untuk Yoana Vennezia

Image
Waktu itu tak berujung. Kita hidup di satu masa. Awalnya, lagu Akad oleh Payung Teduh terasa tidak relevan, setidaknya bagiku. Maksudnya, terlalu banyak muda-mudi kebelet nikah yang dengan sengaja meneriakkan lagu itu ke telinga orang. Memang, musiknya mudah didengar dan ringan. Tapi, kupikir liriknya tidak sekuat lagu Untuk Perempuan yang Sedang di Pelukan. Tapi, hari ini, lagu Akad seperti tiba-tiba merasuki aku. Tapi, aku gak menye-menye; aku tidak kebelet nikah, aku tetap sama. Tapi, entah mengapa lirik yang ringan itu cocok untuk meningat kamu, Yo. Aransemen musiknya tidak menyedihkan, tapi menyenangkan. Mungkin, sudah seharusnya itu yang aku, Tane, Iki dan yang lain rasakan. Kami gak perlu sedih soal kepergianmu itu. Kami, seharusnya, mengingat hidupmu itu, Yo. Hidupmu itu layak kami apresiasi setinggi-tingginya. Kamu sudah bantu aku berubah. Tahu gak? Aku gak pernah nangis di pemakaman, Yo. Tapi, kemarin aku seperti tidak kenal siapa aku. Dinding dan tampilan tangguh ya

Children of Night

Image
I am a child of the dark, A lover to silence, Into the darkness I hide, From the dangers in daylight No men yelling, No women gossiping, No machine running, Only me thinking Strange.. There is rainbow tonight, She surrounds the moon, Like flies to light The skies are clear The clouds are real The stars, they smile The cold hugs me tight My mistress is the night, And the moon is my light, A man would drop his might, When he lay under the moon tonight

Foolish Glamor

Image
Into the city, I have gone Walk down the road, On my own In its’ heart there lies, A huge building made of stone Filled with people, Mostly young and glamorous The young look like zombies, Walking down with their phones Wearing fancies, Never forget their selfies I have seen the young in the parks, In the bench they kiss Even in schools, They kiss I have seen a young man, With so many earrings, Pierced in his ears His face, it is too pale to see I have seen a young lady, Wearing beautiful dress Made from the hide of the dead, Held her chins high They do not know, The deceased forefathers They do not know, The tongues of the old They do not care, The people on welfare They do not care, The war affair They are walking, They look dead For they forget, That ignorance is not a bliss..

Fire, Burns

Image
Here I am sitting, In my chair this morning No birds flying or singing, They sit in despair crying I have traveled to the forest, Where they say there are people living in the trees All I see is flat fields, With palm trees I have seen the death of a giant, Decapitated in the ground, no ivories I have seen the death of a king In the fireplace his head is hanging He who cares scream in silence He who burns all, dominates all What are we? What have we become?

As a Good Friend..

Cinta segitiga adalah permasalahan dalam hubungan kekinian yang cukup pelik, contohnya; lo punya teman deket yang bernama budi dan gebetan/crush namanya si susi, lo cinta susi, sedangkan susi cinta budi, dan diujung, budi cinta lo - eh si susi maksudnya. Cukup pelik, bukan? Nah, oleh karena itu dalam postingan ini, gue bakal merubah pandangan lo terhadap cinta segitiga ini. Bukan bermaksud menggurui, cuma kemarin malam gue belajar sesuatu dan akan menceritakan dari awal. Jadi, untuk pertama kalinya gue punya “twitter crush” namanya si Susi (nama sesuaikan contoh biar gampang, dan biar crush gue nya gak ngambek), sedangkan si Susi mau suka ke sohib gue sendiri, Budi (tapi disini Budi kagak suka gue). Sebagai jomblo yang ambisius, gue berambisi untuk dapetin hati si Susi, smsan, mention, DM, segala macem komunikasi gue coba. Masalah utama gue ini, si Susi sama Budi satu sekolah, di SMAN 71 Kalahari, sedangkan gue sekolahnya di SMKN 69 Corleone, jadi gue dan Susi gak pernah ketemu. Aw

Into the Citylight

Of God’s last ray of day; of God’s last ray of hope, Enters my mistress who lays upon a fiend’s dope, Of which he plays, from veins to throat, So does come my mistress, to shroud the districts “Merry, be merry, my fellow man! Come to see what I offer ya! Worry not about your woman, For I have a spare for ya!” So did he say, of a man who comes to prey Lonely men, whose hearts are rotten, Decayed, oh decay, did they, So did they came, to find and bed a dame “Come one in, you bad mothers’ and drink our finest vino! Chug on ‘em until you smother, Just drink away your tales of sfortunato!” Away I go from the man who shouts from a bar, Who was holding a bucket of ale, Chugs and chugging, “oh, wunderbar!” So I walk on, on and on, and I just keep on walking on “God, o, dearest God of all! Be there light, the citylight!  Or shall I stop my squall?  So there I stop my might!” And so I pray, I pray to God To lead me from the muddle th

Angin-angin Keparat

Angin malam menerjang tembok, menembus sela-sela kayu. Gubuk ini memang sudah tua dan angin menyentuh bagian bawah yang tidak tertutupi kain. Menggigil rasanya, tapi aku lega karena setelah dua jam, ada juga gubuk untuk buang hajat. Hingga aku sadar bahwa tak ada gayung. Anjing, bagaimana aku bisa pulang dengan sisa-sisa buangan? Ah, biar saja ku lap dengan kemeja dan pulang telanjang dada.
