Loving Someone

Loving someone is like
Let the biggest part of you be possessed
By an enemy who knows no mercy
Let the rest of your life be ruled
By a kid who knows no responsibility

Loving someone is like
Giving up your only chance
But lost it in unexpected bet
Strain yourself to embrace victory
But gain a looser-misery

Loving someone is like
Dedicated yourself to the limit
To something that you can't commit
Count on damp fireworks
To create work of art in the sky

Loving someone is like
Trust your precious inheritance to a starving villain

A Picture without caption

A picture without caption;
Standing lonely on the display
Wishing a warm greet of the passer-by
The time is the only loyal enemy
When a pair of eyes tracing an empty pattern
Which embrace the content of the round frames
Not with recognition or affection
Though the splash of its color define a story
The chance to dwell in grace had fly
Still the dream perform in full bliss
Many tempted to reminiscence the reckless mind
As a former curse diminish – unfathomed
The journey continue one more night
As the sun pinned each promise alone
The sweet rays draw clear and vivid hope
To read the mind of the picture without caption

Night Calling

The night creeping
Past midnight... she bear without blinking
The signal ring and pleading
Annoyance from lunatic calling
In his 17 years stalking
For the only girl he always dreaming
Who never be his darling
And the world stop at her being
So he did all the way to win, fighting
She did nothing to compromise, ignoring
he spent all his life with obsessed feeling
She never care but wondering
He kept trying...
Once, she felt touching...
She picked the line and start listening
He was so alive and demanding
She withdraw but he persisting
So the scenes playing
He and she in their own willing
only God know the ending

Getting Married

So it's done you said
While packed your old wardrobe
Acting like you've been paid
And new role has been dropped

So what's your new cast now?
You shake your head and smile
Your life is now part of the show
Of what people think worthwhile

Many question left to ponder
Disclosed story as secret thing
You said nothing to wonder
It's just a forever trade for a ring

You used to say that it's not you
To bet in lifetime option between happy and misery
Engaged in commitment start with ‘I Do'
Take a 24-7 endless responsibility

Message in The Bottle

Suddenly I feel silly
Looking for the message in the bottle in the sky
As the crowd start to melt, "the sea…" one mumble

I search the sea - toss the sand - built a castle
31 days 8 hours 20 minute 12 second I spent in restless
Some figure passed - outreached their hand and off we fly

The sky now highlight in the color of frowning-apple
One step, mislead - they're fading in blinding light
Where am I? Where to go? Where are here?

Another thing revealed… lousy - misshape
Wait… That's the message in the bottle! !
I rejoice - shaking in bewilderment rip of the glass

The yellowish-paper represents the waiting
"Find me in the sea" why? I just did!
Suddenly I feel silly

The One

Had I told u about Him?
The one who would briskly left me in wonder
The one who would wipe away the impossible note
The one who would gladly lift me in a manner
The one who would attending all my rage & sorrow
The one who would cuddle me as a pure baby

He was…
The one who deliver me the enchanting invitation
The one who welled me up with bunch of affection
The one who gently cares my fragile mind-soul
The one who strives to wrap a dream as a gift
The one who spare my selfish expectation

He is now
The one I run to when tears are flooding my path
The one I share the silence symphony
The one I granted my precious thought
The one I come to bargain my pain
The one I count on every breath-taking moment

A Bleak Dream

I was looking to you
Over the glass in a big hall
You bow to me and smile
It was then that I know
You held a great ball
In the silence of my sincerity

I drawn at you
Thinking as a fascinated guest
Eager to seize every tickling of the time
Make my pure intention at ease
You step closer and reveal
Every room in yr busy dream
I wonder how to ever leave

I saw her, cast a spell in the mere light
Wrap you and all the nuance with shadow
Captured all the bright scene in a frame
Linger to have a perfect saviour
Melt away with the scent of the rain

Gravity

I lost you again - so I think
Being the weirdo and abnormal - so you said
I hit the remove-phase to uninstall your tab
It reads ‘anytime' as a welcome
As it faded - I thank God
Then I think of you - feel remorse
How if I am never been found?
How if you are never be mine?
It got me paralyzed yet satisfied
Stuck in Bipolar state - thanks to you
It's like a rusty-fragile warning on dangerous abandoned site
Missed the subject, the act and the fact
Still you feel me without emotion
On to me - all over - never ceased
Closed my eyes, elevate my soul to reach you
So you could hear my plea and set me free
Don't leave me stranded on your foot prints
Keep falling into your visible chain
This fairy wings won't compensate my grieve
As I stumble harder each time I get higher

Sepenggal Rasa

Ketika air mataku tak bisa lagi mengalirkan duka
Ketika semua kata tak bisa lagi menggambarkan makna
Betapa aku ingin merengkuhmu, lekat menghabiskan rinduku
Betapa aku ingin menggadaikan hidupku untuk hembusan nafasmu
Agar tak ada detik waktu tanpa sentuhan tulusmu,
Agar kekal semua tentangmu di benak dan kalbuku
Tentang semua cerita luka yang kau rajut bagai untaian bunga
Tentang semua cinta yang kau bingkai dengan senyum bahagia
Aku menghirup udara dan rasa kehilanganku di detak waktu
Aku menatap hari-hari muram dengan tangis pilu
Maafku untuk semua keengganan yang ingin kusesali sampai mati
Maafku untuk segala kepongahan yang terpatri dalam hati
Terima kasihku untuk semua cintamu yang tak berbatas
Terima kasihku untuk semua jasamu yang tak terbalas
Waktu yang berlari tak mampu mengikis kisah denganmu
Waktu yang berlalu akan mengekalkan hidupmu dihatiku

You hate Me

You hate me
Is not a statement
Neither it's an impression
It's just you hate me

You hate me
In yr words and doing
So yr mind and feeling
Why on earth do you hate me?

You hate me
Without specific reason
Nor any single explanation
For you to hate me

You hate me
I dont play along with you
Or figure out things to do
You would just hate me
