In The Days When I'm Old

I wander to the days when I'm old,
a white hair man near the sunset.
Living a day with only memories to hold,
questioning time in many times of bed.

Spending afternoon till the sun is red.
Never thinks of treasure but his heart of gold.
Always being happy, never sad instead.
Around the cherish of the people in his world.

His nights will be windy, quiet and flowing,
and the grey cloud still makes the rain.
Beside his wife, sweet, warm and loving.
Keeps dreaming past, being young again.

I wander to the days when I'm old,
a wise man with wisdom in his head.
Living many days with secrets unfold.
Until people he loves gather around his bed.

Yogyakarta

Ada hitam manis Jawa dan putih totok bule
yang hitam manis Pribumi kakinya ramping-ramping
langkah khas putri santun dan degap pekerja
yang putih pucat turis Australia naik caktor
pikirnya penuh cerita buat cucu di Canberra.
………….

Ada pria-pria keraton dengan senyum ala Hamengku
berkeris, berblankon dan bersandang batik ungu
wangi aroma kayu ukiran disepuh napas priyayi
nang ning nong gamelan dan lengking sinden nyanyi
semua halus berdenyut dalam nadi darah biru.
…………..

Ada nyiur tepi Selatan dan ombak berpilin
pasir pantai basah dan kejar-kejaran angin
Merapi, si nenek tua, di Kaliurang yang tandus
mengunyah sirih di mulutnya, hingga merah padam
liurnya panas, bisik ranting-ranting hangus.
……………..

Ada lagu pria jalanan dan sedap warung lesehan
gudeg Malioboro dan suam-suam ayam kalasan
orang-orang menghimpit sepi di sela-sela geligi canda
menyisakan belulang duka di atas piring-piring
semua berlomba untuk menidurkan sang Waktu.
…………..

Ada cinta dengan rengkuhan yang mencengkeram erat
melucuti wewangi tubuhku seraga
begitu dingin dan terasing lidah rindunya
menyeruak jiwanya dalam dupa asmara.
Ada separuh diriku separuh dirimu
jadi debu di Yogya…

Fancy

I write an empty poem
in the field near my home,
lying beneath the star.

I dream the eyes like pearl
and draw in sky a girl.
Suddenly there, you are.

I smile, and smile and feel
minding the fancy still,
hope you never gone far.

I sing my empty poem
fleeing my mind to roam.
Suddenly there, We are.

Usai Tualang

Ingin ia tualang lagi
Angin tuju berhembus kemana pergi
Kaki kaki berat
Enggan lumpuh oleh penat
Racun baginya resap di sandaran
Sekali berhenti berarti kematian
Teramat silam, teramat dalam
Kebebasan yang jauh terpendam

Ingin ia melayang lagi
Kepak sayap-sayap rajawali
Langit hampir purna melegam
pun enggan ia bersunyi diam
Semu baginya rebah lipuran
Adalah licik adalah ular jadian
Teramat besar, teramat liar
Kebebasan yang berhati pijar.

I Wish

I wish every time I could have a love
Boundless as the sky, white as the dove

I wish every time I could give a shine
Boundless as the sun, from the very heart of mine

I wish every time I could spare a peace
of the singing birds, of the whispering trees

And I wish every time I could give the world
That love and peace I have, till I get old…

On My Meadow

There I see the morning new
With abundant cold fresh dew
Bow of the hue of rainbow
Paved the young sky on my meadow

There I hear little bird's chant
In the beginning of his hunt
On his tail is the warmer blow
Of happy wind on my meadow

There I see the flowing rill
Winding from the foggy hill
Making fresh and making grow
All living things on my meadow

Senyawa Malam

angin gelisah
hujan urungkan niat
ke mana lagi riang ria
usai menarikan daun

hari sudah tinggal setengah
dimakan waktu
hidup belum atau..
tanpa berbentuk

panas besi
kereta tadi pagi
terbawa malam

merah hitam Tanah Kusir
jejak tragedi Bintaro
di depan sekolah itu.

-Masih Ada Waktu-
katanya dalam orkestra.

ya, terbawa malam


Biola requem "Camelia"
Orkestra suara hati 
kutirukan ...
aku sudah bosan bernyanyi

keramaian yang kusumbat diam
kita ini cinta
kita ini cinta
Bayangmu...


aku janji tiada rindu.

Joy of The Rain

I must fall for the season
and give rainbow a reason
reaching every top
until the last drop

I make a clapping sound
I lay a flowing ground
leaving away the cloud
to surprise the crowd

O, how a cheerful move
from the sky onto the roof
stranded upon faces
like a million graces

O, how a joyful solitude
flying alone from altitude
with all that jump and all that bound
returning home, my peaceful ground

...

Is it the end of moonlight November?
season is still here, to leave a trace
and if it really ends, will you remember?
that I was the rain once upon your face.

Prince of Lemonade

I wonder how afternoon will fade
if I must be better off alone
with an iced choco lemonade
and my old fashioned phone

You're too good a fancy
I cannot forge.

Only sit alone.
this prince without throne.

Home

On my way home His Angel leads
Gives strength and light right to my feet
It's never been far my way home
after million miles.

Sleep in the storms and thunderous sky
With my eyes closed I am brave to fly
It's never been that high my dream
after million times.

I'm missing home.
Is it far and long?

Lilin...

Lonceng Setengah Lima,
             pinggir taman.
Pepohonan samar.
Embun dan hujan
  meragu diri,
  setitik
  setitik.
...
dinginsepi    tanpaapi
sudah menyerah aku pada
kepungan hasrat duniawi.

Di atas altar ungu,

yang kudekap, kupangku.
sepenggalMu tak mau mati,
                      Kupulangkan.

Bunga (katanya)

.......................
.......................

Kau tau mengapa kumbang hitam hinggapi bunga?
karena ia mencari madu di kelopaknya.

Kau tau mengapa kupu terbang singgahi bunga?
karena warna corak bunga mirip sayapnya.

Kau tau mengapa angin suka mengayun bunga?
karena angin suka tarian bunga.

Dan kau tau mengapa bunga tumbuh di mana suka?
karena bunga itu seperti Cinta.

Less Than Sunshine

Another journey yet to go
but no light I see to lead me.
in every minute that makes the hour
I wait.
I search.

Then it's nowhere but here.
It is my heart that has lost the light.

Astral Blue

Who is in danger
to call for help?

I am with none of my friend
to stand by you.

Who is the stranger
to call my name?

I am awake on my stand
to wait for astral blue.

Luna Grey

All that is left of me is Luna Grey
the person that I miss today
is she soaring too far?
out for danger like a star?

..
take along with you, then
this day to remember.

Sunny East

I woke up in headache
saw in the mirror
only myself a doctor
smile could heal
so smile ...

how funny to be me.
how funny that face.

I looked my sunny east
saw the happy future
only myself a dreamer
dream could be a zeal
so dream ...

how crazy to be me.
how crazy this small world.

Flow

Am I being trapped in the flow
or is it a ride for life
from today to tomorrow?

Should I be like water of river
or should I be sunk in the sand cascade
waiting for a better shape?

I am in the flow, 
...
I am of the flow.

A Touch In The Rain

You softly reappear
from the coming cold rain
A voice in my rear
you with the smile again

To feel this way is always a happy thing

A Star In Other Sky

...
Find yourself a place
among that huge wide sky
I'll be watching you fly

...
Just leave a trace
sparks that never die
I'll be there if you try

...be a star in other sky.
and always shine there.
