Menunggu Pagi

Malam tidak selalu tentang menunggu pagi,
atau gelap yg berubah menjadi terang.
Kamu tdk mengenal siang,
dan aku tdk berkenalan dgn malam.
Tentang cerita-cerita yang habis ditelan malam,
atau tak sabar diceritakan ketika pagi tiba.
Cerita tentang lelah.
Cerita tentang nyala api.
Cerita tentang kunang-kunang.
Dan arti warna fajar.
Selamat pagi, para penikmat malam.
Selamat malam, para pencinta pagi.
Makhluk-makhluk tercinta, yang penuh dengan kebahagiaan.

I Miss Her This Morning

I miss her this morning. This particular morning, where I find peace with other floating things in universe. Finding myself between million conversation and gazillion collision, of life and death.

I don’t know how to greet her nor guessing what conversation that we will be having. Years ago, maybe I’d pick up my guitar and burst into Oasis’ She Is Love. But I grew up, I’ve been to some places and met many people. She did too. She ain’t love anymore. I just miss her terribly.

I never wonder if she ever thinks the same way. She won’t. I know every inch of her thoughts and I probably know why she left me. But I don’t hold anything against her, I know her. I’m just hoping she’ll ever find someone to settle her in.

Someday, somewhere.

I miss her this morning. This particular morning where everything collide on the perfect order, creating mere conspiracy of the chance of holding her again. For just a second before she’s being her, and I’d go on with my terrible lying of loneliness.

Maybe I’m just being sentimental. Maybe there’s really something between me and her that is still hiding between those days. Those silent days that suddenly become years, and I don’t know whether I will ever see her again.

I want to see you.

And you’ll know that’d be the last conversation we’ll ever had.

Evil

Evil takes force in many faces. Bright colors, beautiful wonders, awesome shapes. They lurk and slip where it fitted. Waiting and calming.

Lie isn’t always the opposite of the truth. And the truth is not always right.

Dance, pretty liar. You know it will always come back to you.

Live awesomely, pretty face. You know somehow, someone will notice your nature.

And pretty liar dances gracefully, laugh carefully. Yet, life is so many things. I believe, you will be alright and one of those night, you’ll learn to forgive yourself. The problem with any other people will always be history. One of those night, they will learn to forgive themselves too.
