I barely knew you
And I knew almost nothing of
When and how you were born
Or who your parents were
Or how you got here
Or how you found yourself being
A young bride in a strange land
Surrounded on all sides
By people who did not love you
And did not care that you were barely loved
I barely knew your life
But I know that in the young years
Of my own life
You loved me with the fierce tenderness
Of a lioness, claws and all
Maybe they never loved you
But you had love abundant
Your love, transcendant
For me, for us
On Those Drops of Jupiter
Did you fall for a Shooting star? You left - I know Now that it's your loss.
On That Deep, Dark Void
Don’t ask me to look into
That deep, dark void
I just cannot imagine
This life without
You.
On Missing You
There’s a you-shaped hole
In my heart tonight, waiting
For you to come home.
Tentang Rindu yang Gugah Menjajah
Setiap derap langkah
Menzikirkan adanya kita
Terasing walau sementara
Terpisah dek lautan benua
Dan aku harus terus gagah
Meski rindu gugah menjajah
Setiap silih cakera alam
Setiap gilir siang dan malam
Mengundang hampir berakhir gundah.
Tentang Malar Teguh
Bukan kumbang bukan jembalang
Hanya suluh jari jemari
Rindu sayang bukan kepalang
Malar teguh menghitung hari.
On Amber
Like being drowned in a
Tomb of permanent beauty
Our love, like amber.
Tentang Lara Kasmaran
Di dahi awan
Tersekam cahya rindu
Lara kasmaran.
Tentang Bara Yang Cekal Tersarang
Suatu waktu dulu
Kita pernah mengimpikan
Membina sebuah kehidupan
Bersama
Kini, ingatan itu
Hanya cebisan kenangan
Yang menjadi kunangan
Terlara
Di mana engkau sekarang?
Di mana, dan bagaimana?
Nyata bagiku
Kau masih seberkas bayang
Yang cekal tersarang
Membara.
Tentang Rindu Mekar
Mekar kembang mawar dan lili
Ganti diri jauh tersangat
Rindu puan tidak terperi
Tiap saat luka tersayat.
