Poem






BEAUTIFUL JUNE, BEAUTIFUL MIND





Tap, tap, tap...
One step to another
Round and round and round
Like a whirlwind on her mind

Sing, sing, sing...
One note to another
Woven rhymes like hill songs
Echoes forever in my mind

Nap, nap, nap...
One dream to another
A sleeping beauty through a glass
With rumbles in restless mind

LOVE DOESN'T ASK WHY




Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Don't ask me if this feeling's right or wrong
It doesn't have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
'Cause when you're in my arms I understand
We don't have a voice
When our hearts make the choices
There's no plan
It's in our hands

Now I can feel what you're afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give too much away?
We can't let this moment pass us by
Can't question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try


So let's take what we found
And wrap it around us



-Celine Dion-








WHISPER TO ME...




Touching my nights, ever so gently,
You come to me, with all your love
Tenderness hands, glowing face, warm eyes,
You come closer, soft, nice, and slowly..
Hear a warm breeze, feel you on my face
In through my ears, hearing a soft melody,
A love song, from you, dearly to me.


Stars and moon lit the intimacy of me and you
And the moon captured our shadow
In through your eyes, touching me
You come to me, sending all your love
Closer..greet my pulse.


I close my eyes, as a touch sweeps my ear,
Your soft lips delivering a love song
Touching my soul, heart, and feelings
Finding a true from your heart
The secret from hidden old feelings   
In through my ears, I listen to, your whispers to me...

SENANDUNG KEMBANG




Aku adalah sejenis kata yang terucap
Oleh suara alam;
Aku sebuah bintang yang jatuh
Dari langit ke atas hamparan hijau.
Aku puteri alam benda
Yang dibenihkan musim dingin;
Dilahirkan musim semi;
Diasuh musim panas;
Dan tidur di pangkuan musim gugur.


Kala fajar aku bersama angin
Menyambut kedatangan cahaya;
Kala senja aku dan burung-burung
Melepaskan kepergiannya.

Seluruh dataran terhias oleh indah warna-warniku, 
Dan udara semerbak oleh wewangianku.


Kupeluk lelap ketika mata malam memandangi aku, 
Dan ketika aku terbangun, matahari menyambutku.


Aku meminum anggur embun
Dan mendengar kicauan burung
Serta menari bersama rumput-rumput.


Akulah hadiah para pecinta;
Akulah hiasan para pengantin.
Akulah kenangan masa bahagia,
Akulah ucapan terakhir,
Mereka yang hidup kepada yang mati.
Akulah kebahagiaan, dan
Aku adalah kesedihan.


Tapi aku hanya bisa tengadah
Untuk mencari cahaya.
Dan tak pernah merunduk,
Kepada bayangan di bawah.
Inilah hikmah, pelajaran bagi manusia.


-Kahlil Gibran-









* WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME? *





Saat aku menjadi tua renta, saat aku menjadi tak berdaya,
dan saatnya aku sangat bergantung padamu tuk melangkah,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
mengulurkan tanganmu dan setia menuntunku?


Bahkan jika seluruh dunia memusuhiku dan merendahkanku,
Bahkan jika aku bukan siapa-siapa dan aku ditinggalkan,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
dan memelukku dengan penuh cinta?


Jika aku menyakiti hatimu, lagi dan lagi,
dan banyak kesalahan dalam kata dan lakuku padamu,
Akankan engkau masih mencintaiku,
dan akan selalu memaafkanku dengan sepenuh hatimu?


Jika aku sakit dan kesakitan karena sakitku,
jika tiap saat ku membutuhkanmu tuk 'menyembuhkanku'
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
setia menungguku, dan menguatkanku?


Saat aku tak lagi kreatif dalam imagi dan karyaku,
tak lagi mampu jadi aktif seperti aku yang kau mengerti,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
dan terus membanggakanku?


Jika kesedihan menarikku sedemikian dalam,
dan tak kuasa ku tuk mengungkap, dan meresahkanmu,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
dan berusaha mengerti tanpa tanya?


Saat tekanan hebat mendera dan melemahkanku,
gejolak menguasaiku dan terlampiaskan padamu yang kucinta,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
sabar menopangku, dan memulihkanku dengan cintamu?


Pabila kecantikanku bagimu memudar oleh waktu,
dan kebaikan ragaku terkikis kehidupan,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
dan tetap melihatku dengan penuh kekaguman?


Saat aku tak mampu berdansa dan membuatmu tersenyum,
Saat hilang energiku tuk berikan yang terbaik bagimu,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
membahagiakanku, dan setia menemaniku hingga akhir waktuku?


Saat daya pikirku melemah dan tak mampu kuikuti daya pikirmu,
Saat daya kataku melamban dan responku tak sebaik responmu,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
mengerti dan bersabar terhadapku seperti aku adanya?


Saat aku melupakan ajaran Tuhan yang Maha Kasih,
Saat aku mengabaikanNya, melanggarNya, dan tidak tunduk setia,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
tak bosan membimbing dan menegurku dengan penuh kasih?


Saat aku lupa berbuat kebajikan tuk sesamaku,
Saat aku tak punya lagi peduli tuk mereka yang membutuhkan,
Akankah engkau masih mencintaiku,
mengingatkanku, dan menunjukkan jalan bagiku?


No matter what life will be, no matter the future will be,
Will you still love me?  Will you keep loving me?

I'LL BE WATCHING YOU

“ I’ll be watching you ”
a song to remind
that you are there…
watching…


so good so calming
what else to picture you
a great silent lover…


everything of you
everything sincere…
how patient of you
how amazing…
the brown eyes you have
the strength you have…
with fully true meaning
delivering power
to make me feel
the beautiful feeling
everlasting…
always hard to describe
beyond imagination


you touch me with your heart
you embrace me with your love
we keep dancing in the silence of the night
keep dancing with the sound of wave
which silently watches…
keep dancing all passion we have
so deep… so wonderful…
till the sun show his face
and the bird say hello to the sunny morning
the time we say good bye…
with uncertainty…


no matter time and distance will take
till we meet again…
till we meet again…
in this world or heaven
till we meet again…


‘ you keep watching me ’

..."STILL I RISE"...


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.


Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.


Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.


Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.


Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.


You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.


Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?


Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.




-Maya Angelou-
