I imagined you,
The love of my forlorn life,
And here you are - mine.
#742 Tentang Sangkar Sedu Sedan
"Aku bisa membuatmu
Jatuh cinta kepadaku
Meski kau tak cinta kepadaku"
... Adalah fantasi remaja dungu
Yang menyangka insan bisa dikontrol
Lantas diri tumpas tertolol
Dan kehidupannya menjadi suatu siri kisah tragis
Dua insan yang berperang bengis
Terperangkap dalam sangkar sedan
Terasing dalam kebisuan.
#741 On The Death
A hearth!
A hearth to warm my kindling
The dearth!
The dearth of light is blinding
The death!
The death of all this trifling
the death of all your troubling
The death of Life and Yearning.
#740 On The Burying Prize
What will you do when
The prize you sought for so long
Seeks to bury you?
#739 On This Leaden Crown
These thoughts weigh heavy
Like a leaden crown on thorns.
A most caustic prize.
#738 On Being Overmatched (No Country for Old Men)
“I feel overmatched,”
He said with resignation.
His world was all dust.
#737 On The Magic of Pencils
A wooden pencil
Dances across the blank page
Weaving a dark spell.
#736 Tentang Bertekunan Dalam Pasukan
Tekun kerja dalam pasukan
Cergas cermat membina mimpi
Tanpa lelah bergotong sakan
Demi satu cita dihati.
#735 Tentang Berjalan di Gigi Pantai
Awan putih menongkat langit
Biru nian menawan jiwa
Desir ombak mengubat perit
Sejuk mata merawat lara.
#734 On Courage At Work
With downcast eyes averting from the ask
They seek to abdicate the given role
So highly paid, yet keen to shirk the task
They run with wolves but seek to play the mole
The life well lived: with hearts right on the line
The courage to persist is nigh divine!
