Untuk Kau yang Menungguku

Kau pernah datang padaku......

Kau bilang aku wanita kampung yang menarik

Kau hadiahkanku boneka kecil berompi putih

Kau bilang "Ini kado dari pemuja rahasiamu"

Kau sangat membahagiakanku

Kau pernah merayuku.....

Tidak dengan berbait-bait puisi

Tidak dengan lagu lagu Melayu

Kau hanya bilang

"Kamu seperti boneka di etalase toko yang dipagari kaca".

Kau sangat menyanjungku.

 

Kau harus tahu,...

Aku sekarang sudah bisa berkerudung rapi.

Aku juga bisa membuat teh manis dengan takaran yang pas.

Aku ingin mengajakmu berkunjung ke Jame Walker's Private Library

Sekarang, kau tidak ada disampingku
Kau benar-benar pergi.

Pergi menghuni rumah di sebelah Tuhan.

Aku harap kau bisa melihatku tetap tersenyum di sini.

Tunggu saja, aku akan menyusulmu kelak.

Ode to My "Clown"

When the night falls

I am the one who want to light you up

When the sun rises

I am the one who want to wake you up

When the rain pours

I am the one who want to warm you up

Because 

I am a star,

I am a waker,

and I am a hot chocolate.

*For those who have made me crack smile. Thank you so much. I wish I could be anything for you.

To Sun, From Rain

He's just a sort of sun

Shining. Warming. Mesmerizing.

Standing so firm upon two peaks of mountains

I'm just kinda rain

Wet.Cold. Aloof.

Crawling upon the yellowish torn leaves

Too long, I stare at him

Looking at his fire-like eyes

Hoping that he taps my door 

and leaves me a bucket of rose 

Too shy, I peek at his narrow smile

Thinking that candy becomes less sweeter

and sugar goes plain

Hei  * , would that smile be given only for me?

Note: For someone who dries my long-sleeves shirt.

Sorry...I'm not that pathetic

You are such a boring stuff

Even worse than learning grammar

I'm fed up with speeches coming out from your mouth

Could you just zip it out

It's just enough for me to take a breath

Who the hell are you?

You're not my headmaster

You're just an awful orator 

Never think that I'll be a silly follower

I'm not that pathetic 

For somebody in somewhere

Sorry, I'm thinking of leaving you

Handsome Firefly

"When the night is so dark, they pours some light "

Such an old night.

I really don't feel right.

I need some light.

Suddenly, something comes to my sight.

Waw...a handsome firefly with four inch in height.

gives me some free-flight.

He takes me home and says "bonne nuit".

For him, who gives me very big help. Thank you soooo much ;-)

Untuk Kau.....Sang Penawar Letih

Somebody said to me "Just smile, and your problem will fade away soon"

Suatu senja yang ranum,

Kau menyapaku lewat nyanyian para camar

Kau pakaikan gelang kaki pada nyiur yang menua

Kau bilang kau akan datang pada malam sabit

tepat pada saat punggung langit dikencani bidadari

*Untuk siapapun yang telah mengobati letihku

  Terima Kasih

Neither Masquerade Nor Rusty Can

   

                           

Once, I saw her striding so elegant in a masquerade

Holding a long-handle glass with crimson liquid 

Her laughter echoed the whole ballroom 

Buried under a pile of throng scream 

Once, I saw her crying at the edge of aisle

Holding a plump baby tightly and an empty rusty can

Her mouth muttered a mercy or something

Buried underneath the thickest pain

Once, I asked her

"Who are you?"

Weeping, she answered "I'm a dirty mom"
Sighing, I told her "There's no dirty mom. You're just such a pity "

Staring at me, she said, "Show me to be pretty...."

I said "Just do something cutie...Throw away your mask and rusty can"
