Bukan ke Pantai

Seperti kita dan kata-kata yang samar.
Menyembunyikan waktu di tengah gedung-gedung kaca.
Saya ingin melihat padang rumput, bukan pantai.
Saya ingin melihat pelabuhan, bukan pantai.
Saya ingin memancing di danau, bukan pantai.
Lalu menggambar bunga-bunga, hibiscus dan anggrek.
Mewarnainya dengan perangkat lunak.
Lalu membingkainya di dinding kamar.
Di sebelah jendela.
Yang menghadap taman, bukan lagi di tengah gedung-gedung kaca.
Kamu tahu, lebih banyak yang ingin pergi ke pantai.
Tapi saya ingin melihat padang rumput, bukan pantai.

Anggap Saja

Anggap saja kita seirama, maka kita bisa menikmati cerita tentang tenggara dan barat laut secara bersamaan.

Anggap saja kita seirama, maka akan ada nada-nada tentang senja yang tak ubahnya dengan irama fajar.

Anggap saja kita seirama, dan laut mempertemukan kita selayaknya padang rumput.

Toh keduanya mencinta matahari dan merindukan bulan.

Sayangnya kita tak pernah sadar, bahwa perang bukan tentang kita. Tapi tentang irama-irama yang tak berusaha saling mendengar.

Catching Star

Among the bleakest stars that don’t sparkle tonight, you were the one that caught my eyes. I tried to dismantle you once. But I forget the instruction on how to assemble you back. There were too many pieces and bricks. And I gave up before halfway.

So, I harvest the same star tonight. Finding you was easy. There, there you are.

And I heard this song on radio, maybe they’re right. I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new.

You Were Not Lost

Halfway around the world.
17 in count.
Hundreds and thousands of hearts.
Million eyes.

All souls are never lost.
They just wander and finally, return.

Have you seen the technicolor coral, under the sea?
Have you seen the aurora, be it the Borealis or Australis?
Have you seen the North Star, high above?
Have you seen the rainbow’s end?

Whether you’ve seen one or not, you’ll be seeing more there.
More obnoxious beautiful things.

Welcome back, beautiful faces.
Until we meet again, you will all be missed.
