I love you in all

I love you I love you when you became my best friend I love you because you're my best friend I love you because you need a friend I love you when you hold my hand I love you when you kissed my forehead I love you when you're silent I love you when your heart was as dark as the night sky I love you when your stars are illuminating I love you in your storms I love you when it rains and i'm soaking and cold I love you when you're angry at me I love you when it hurts, when it's painful for us I love you when I'm angry at the world I love you when we say nothing I love you when you're tired and you just want to lie next to me I love you even when you walked away I love you when you walked back into my hug I love you and no one can tell me not to I love you even if you tell me to stop loving you I love you when you're empty I love you when you're overwhelmed I love you when you don't love yourself I love you when you're hurting I love you when I'm in pain I love you when you're curling in my arms I love you when you lean into me I love you in all I love your all I love you

Di Indonesia

Di sini aku menjadi aku Di sini mengalir darahku

Di sini aku menjadi utuh Kaku tersentuh, runtuh

Pekat isi nadi deras mengalir Air mengalir, di sini hidup bergulir

Di tepian padang bintang membentang Di sini bumiku tenang

Biar cemas hanyut tak bernyawa Kalau aku hidup, senyawa menyala

Gairah berpendar, pelita bersinar Di sini kehidupan dan aku menjadi satu

12 tahun, Sahabatku

12 tahun, Sahabatku

kamu sangat kenal aku

kamu ikut arus yang kamu suka

aku melawan arus yang ada

 cerita kita panjang

antara kedekatan dan jarak

dengan perasaan dan tanpa

masih saja bersama

 aku perdengarkan laguku

kamu bilang itu pilu

mungkin kamu lebih tahu aku

daripada aku tahu diriku

 berlikunya setapak terlalui

rendah hati, masa depan tersembunyi

denganmu aku berkaca:

“sudah jauh perjalanan kita!”

Kawah di balik bulan

Mau aku cerita?

Tentang kawah di balik bulan

Tempat manusia terjungkir

Senyap

 Bukan seperti kabut

Tapi kejang yang menyengat

Lalu aku pindah ke pemandangan lain

Rasa lain

 Bukan seperti ditusuk

Tapi lebam yang tumpul, menekan

Aku terdesak ke ruang sempit

Terhimpit

 Bukan seperti terbakar

Marah yang lemah tapi lama

Oksigen habis

Hampa udara

 Itu rasa rahasia

Jika kucerita tetap tak ada orang bisa mengecapnya

Pedih bertahan kepayahan

Diam menahan hujan batu

Poem time 1: I know

Poem time:

I know there are things you don’t comprehend There are things I too don’t comprehend There’s a gap between us Thorns and bushes, walls that part us

I know there are things you despise There are things I dislike There’s a lifetime between us Life stories, pasts part us

I know my loudness is deafening I know your silence is loud I know that I am relaxed, easy My life is whole and hard, breezy

I know playing is childish I know that doing it is honest, true I escape much, I face much I know what happens in the dark of hearts So yes, when no one else knows: I know

Catatan kaki

Kalau keberadaan kalian di dalam sebuah kapal hanya sekedar untuk mencegah kapal itu karam, maka aku tidak ikut kapal kalian. Aku berada di kapalku sendiri, berlayar ke suatu tujuan.

If you’re in a boat only to prevent it from sinking, then I’m not in that boat with you. I am in my own boat, sailing to a destination.
