mama

there was a time when i was showering and you helped me washing hair

i hummed that song, over and over, enjoying your massaging my head

or when i was in the bed, preparing for a sweet dream

you were on my side, whispering the song as tapping my butt

... and i was in heavenly serenity

i made you mad, then i drove you sad

yet your heart never failed to forgive

today, i will sing that song again

recollecting pieces of a daughter's life

celebrating the magnificence of a mother's love

"kasih ibu kepada beta... tak terhingga sepanjang masa...

hanya memberi, tak harap kembali... bagai sang surya menyinari dunia..."

ps. happy mother's day!

adieuphobia

she always hates goodbyes

tears would hardly stop flowing from her eyes

if only she could have a request,

would heaven let the time say 'yes'?

it was a cold winter in a small town

smiling faces with sometimes a frown

she knows, they won't feel down

for they used to be the only son

is it better to be alone?

when maliciousness will no longer sit on the throne

and the kitchen will be safe from explosion

there the answer persists, still like a stone

malaikat bertanduk dua

aku jatuh cinta...

pada matamu yang biru dan bersinar

pada tawamu yang lepas tak bersalah

pada wajahmu yang selalu anugerahkan syukur

tak tampak sesal, tak tampak kesal

hingga aku yang lebih kuat menjadi tak berdaya

lemas, memandangmu penuh kemenangan

menang bukan karena kau sempurna

namun menang karena dirimu tak gentar

hatiku tersayat

menyaksikan sosok ilahi lekat di jiwamu murni

tolong aku, ajari aku

karena aku ingin secuil citramu

terseok-seok namun tak keok

menghentak-hentak namun tak retak

biar esok aku bangun sambil tersenyum

memimpikan senyummu dalam jubah malaikat

malaikat kecil bertanduk dua

berhati baja, beruntun asa
