Puisi untuk Ibu

(untuk para ibunda)

Ibu, puisi ini sengaja kutulis dalam kegelapan musim dan waktu
hanya puisi murung
tiada berarti
Namun, dengan hati ibu yang tulus
serta penuh kasih
pastilah ibu mengetahui kebenarannya

Apakah ibu masih ingat
ketika anjing-anjing bersenjata itu menyeret putrimu
lalu mengepungku dalam kamar penyiksaan
di sebuah jalan tak bernama
Ibu tiba-tiba terjaga dari kesakitan yang parah
mendengar lolong putrimu
di malam buta
Saat itu aku berada sangat jauh dari ibu

Dahulu aku mengira
Ibu hanyalah perempuan lemah
yang tak punya pendirian
mengabdi pada suami bagaikan kuli
Ibu rela bekerja keras
di tengah hujan dan terik matahari
seorang diri
serta tiada mendendam kepada siapa pun
demi anak-anak ibu

Setelah ayah pergi dengan perempuan itu
Ibu menangis sepanjang hari
Pertanyaan kanak-kanak yang marah
selalu berakhir dengan pertanyaan lagi
ketika ibu menyahut parau,
"Ibu mencintai ayahmu, nak."
Aku segera berlari lalu membanting pintu

Kini aku mengerti bahwa kesanggupan mencintai bukan hal biasa
bahkan, seringkali mengejutkan orang lain

Bertahun-tahun kemudian
anjing-anjing bersenjata datang
mengobrak-abrik rumah kita
seperti kesetanan
bangkit dari neraka
memaksa ibu mengatakan tempat persembunyianku
Gambar-gambar pemogokan buruh mereka sodorkan
dengan kasar
serta penuh kebencian
"Putrimu melawan pemerintah, bersama-sama mereka membuat huru-hara."

Rasa cinta yang begitu besar
kuwarisi dari Ibu
Tapi, kepasrahannya tidak

Wajah ibu yang bercahaya
dengan rambut yang mulai memutih
bayangan hangat yang memenuhi benakku
sewaktu ibu mengantar
sampai ke muka pintu
ibu menangis
karena tak mempunyai sesuatu yang berharga
sebagai tanda mata
kemudian sungai air mata itu bertambah luas
melihat blusku
yang sudah memudar
Itulah terakhir kali
aku melihat Ibu

Perjuangan kami ini
bukan untuk memisahkan Ibu dari anaknya,
para suami dari istri mereka,
kakak atau nenek dari sang cucu,
ataupun seorang kakak
dari adik-adiknya,
melainkan untuk menyatukan seluruh umat manusia
dalam kedamaian
yang tak pernah lagi kita miliki
setelah puluhan tahun kekuasaan
rezim ini

Maafkan putrimu
bila perjuangan kami
telah membuat ibu
terpaksa menempuh hidup yang sunyi

Bukankah dalam hati kecil Ibu
selalu mendoakan kami?

Resurrection

Today I talked to a man
Who had escaped
A death camp.
Resurrection?
No,
He is dying now.

Growing thin
Looking dazed and haggard
Having nightmares
Mentally not all there.
“Typical signs
Of those who undergo
Such experience,” says the psychiatrist.
Is there any typical sign
To know what
His torturers go through?
Sweet dreams, nice children
Great hopes?

I could have helped
This man to escape
The dreaded camp.
I am powerless now,
To prevent his slow death.

Just Society

You burned the buildings
And put me in prison.
You threw their infants into fire
And called me inhuman.
You murdered in open daylight,
And you blamed me for wanting blood.
You turn my neighbour into a refugee
And said I was responsible.
You looted his hard-earned property
And called me a thief.
You imprisoned him and killed him
And name me a brute.
You befriended thugs and I their victims
But you made me the accused.

I who was grieved
At my schoolmate,
My neighbour, my friends,
My guru and fellow worker
When he died, when he went into hiding,
When he fled to escape the mob,
Suddenly departed to other lands
Empty handed – I, who cried holding his hand
At the harbour bidding him farewell,
Am now to bear this insult
You say it’s peace
When you put the blame on innocent.
You say it’s stability
When you protect the culprits.
You say it’s honesty
When you hide the reports,
And hush the inquiries,
Spreading falsehood among the nations
Having a laugh at a restless hand,
Divided and wounded.

You sleep well
But I can not sleep.
You eat well
I have lost all appetite.
You think you are successful
I know wounds of defeat
Will long live with me,
And the memory
Of this insult.

...
God,
please send me someone
who loves no one before or after he loves me ..
So he will compare me to no other until the day he pass away ..
Put no one above me, puts nothing before me ..
He close his eyes so he will never see my dark side
Company me in daylight, keep me warm at night ..

Kiss me good night so tenderly
then says "Good night, sleep tight, nice dreams .."
Pull my blanket ..
Rub my hair and look into my eyes when he puts down the light
He likes to watch me fall asleep as he says he's watching an angel in peace ..

He serves me breakfast when I open my eyes
Warm my heart as a mother's hug
Tickle my days with minor things ..
Cute message on my mobile or just an "I LOVE YOU" post-it on the fridge's door

Thinking of him makes me smile all day
The day without him seems like stormy weather ..

I'm so tired of the game called love ..
The rules keeps changing all the time ..
No matter how hard I try I can't score ..
Always got beaten up and lying helpless on the ground

So tired of crying, either for him nor myself ..
Why won't my tears dry ?

Tired of listening to people saying nice things I don't want to hear ..
Why do people lie ?

Hate it when they say " .. and then one day,
there shall come a prince charming on his shining armour ..
Save you from hurt .. free your heart from restlesness ... "
Why do people promise something that they can't or have not ?

What did I do that makes me deserve this ?
Why does it hurt so bad ?
Why can't I stop being in love ?

God, help me .. Please stop me from falling in love ...
Please release me from this pain ..
I shall love once more and be it ..
If it's not then here shall I stand ...
Before myself just like it used to be ..

Oh God .. what did I do wrong ?



[hm...
that's what I get from cakra...
a nice nite prayer, which suddenly makes me envy of that guy.
gosh! if it would be me...] *satan smiley*...

explode
the telephone's a terrorist
i'm not even listening
i'm walking with an audience
what isn't an accident

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
i'm waiting to hear the worst words
explode into love at my ear

this is not my skin
i was invited in
a sweeter singer
than anything

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
what's worse than my fears
the worst words explode

fear is my atmosphere
falling is frightening
i don't know what you're doing here
you are like my lightening

suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
suddenly pure the worst words
explode into love at my ear

...worst words explode...


[for the conversation this early morning that really bothers me so much! thanks to you...]


 
The way their tears
make you want to
change the world
so that it
doesn't hurt her anymore.....
Yet regardless
if you love them,
hate them,
wish they would die
or
know that you would die
without them ...
it matters not.
Because once in your life,
whatever they were to the world
they become everything to you.
When you look them in the eyes,
traveling to
the depths of their souls
and
you say a million things
without trace of a sound,
you know that your own life
is inevitable consumed
within the rhythmic beatings
of her very heart.
We love them for a million reasons,
No paper would do it justice.
It is a thing not of the mind
but of the heart.
A feeling.
Only felt.


[dari cakra]
téngkyu ya... =)

Bertemu Kamu


Pernahkah,
walau hanya sekali dalam hidupku
Aku minta bertemu muka denganmu?
Pernahkah,
walau hanya sekejap dalam hidupku
Aku memintakan hadirmu?
Rasanya tak ada satu
catatanpun aku temukan
Dan hanya begitu saja
kamu hadir di hadapanku
lalu merendai hari-hariku.
Tak pernah kuasa
aku coba halangi dan rintangi hadirmu
ketika dengan tangis dan tawamu
Kau ketuk dan buka pintu hatiku.

Tak pernah sesal
Yang sudah pun yang kan datang
sempat kubertemu kamu.

[buat ..... ]
huahahahaha...

 
Ajariku caramu bicara
agar kubicara
caramu bicara

Ajariku caramu mencinta
agar kumencinta
caramu mencinta

Ajariku caramu setia
agar kusetia
caramu setia

Tapi jangan ajariku
caramu memandang
agar kumemandang
caraku memandang.

 
Tak pernah kuasa aku
menjabarkan segala desah nafas
serta segenap darah tercurah.
Tak pernah sampai aku simpulkan
tanya yang kusut masai
dalam segala benakku.

Tertunduk takluk
Pada setiap kata dari ujung lidahmu
Dan lalu sempat aku berpikir tidak
sebelum semua masak kupikirkan.
Hanya desah.
Tak lain gelisah yang selalu saja
tergambar dan terjabar
pada segala ribut suara resah risaumu.
Dan pernah aku berhenti sejenak
sebelum melanjutkan nafas
yang selanjutnya.
Desahpun tidak.


Tak kuasa lagi di hadapanmu.


 
hari ini gue menemukan satu lagi gairah hidup gue yang baru
mudah-mudahan sih ga ngilang lagi seperti dulu-dulu.

i think i had a crush on someone!

whuahahahaha
