Terkarbonasi

Ada waktu yang terkunci
Mendekam di dalam cerita tak bertinta
Ingatanku bukan syaratnya
Karena bukan,
Bukan detikku yang berjalan

Ada tawa yang lirih, 
Menggerayangi momentum yang tak kumiliki
Namun nyeri, ketika di lain hayat tersembunyi
Karena bukan,
Bukan itu yang pernah kumengerti

Gerigi dari denyut kehidupan 
Berputar dalam lini keabnormalitasan kognisi
Seakan liar dalam perspektif 
Menghujam dalam nalar

Usia dari interpretasiku berhenti menua
Sejak pendar dari cahaya mereka memadam
Satu demi satu, berakhir sebelum mataku
Membuatku tercekat dalam hitam yang lebih mencekam

Aku dan jalanku
Kau dengan detikmu
Tak terkolaborasi oleh dimensi dimana kita berpijak
Namun dengan sorotan sepi kita sejalan
Sepaham
Serasa

Nyanyian Sumbang

Kau adalah senjang yang membatasi 
Membelah karakterku dalam pulau-pulau
Menyembunyikanku dalam terang 
Seakan terlalu takut liarku dalam hutanmu

Tertatih aku dalam senyummu
Terseok aku dalam genggaman 
Kau berjalan dan aku berlari
Seakan terpisah oleh gunung-gunung tak bertepi

Senja ini seperti tak mau habis
Seperti melolongkan harapan namun getir
Seperti tak teraih, namun terhinggapi
Oleh pedihku, oleh ketidak tahuanmu

Muara Jelaga Berbisik

Berkelakar pada jeruji murka
Hening dalam guratan benang-benang ekspresi
Bermuara namun terhisap
Berpindah dimensi namun tak daya berpijak

Guratan nasib terbias dalam langkah
Pudar dalam tujuan namun tak lelah memakan jarak
Seperti melolong dalam spasi kejaran ombak
Seperti melempar perspektif dalam ruang minus lentera

Mengubur yang tak pernah usai
Seperti mengakhiri yang tak pernah dimulai
Berharap waktu memberi celah bagi asa
Untuk menimba hutang dari serakan keping-keping mimpi

Pagar ini masih terkunci
Dan hanya waktu yang menjadi juru kunci
Hingga kelak di hari kududuk manis dan hinggap di seberang
Masih kujajaki jalan beralas dingin dan berpaku duri

Horns of a Timid Dwarf

I want to stop these fingers
As I want to stop this brain
To be dominated by mind's splinters
Those words which unuttered to be complained

I want to close my ears
As they whispered from my heart to my mind gears
No gate can stop them, wandering like a keen spears
If only numbness could be gained just by glasses of beers

I want flowers, sweets and beauties
To dispel all the anxieties and insecurities
But devil beside me
Replace the angel of my sanity

I am timid
To release my self from the dungeon of rules and ethic
To break my inability and my limit
To be undressed from this gimmick

Butterfly out of cocoon
Counting time from seconds to days
Making my own sun in my very noon
While collecting diamonds in my own ways 

Diversity and Beauty

We, poured into a large bowl called earth
Hatched from differences
Born with stereotypes
Our skins are rainbow of the ground
Those who dark or bright compiled
Hubris of nation they hold on tight
Diversity ought to be unite
Beyond our color or tongue
We do have the same heart
Due in diversity there is beauty

From The Black Cubical

Here I am, rotting in a place they call bliss
Soaked in an emptiness
To see reality did things as it pleased

Here I am, stroking my messiness
Fettered in additional story
Soaked in an emptiness

My brain is hurricane, but no, it's not about history
As I close my eyes, commotion freeze in yellow dim
Fettered in additional story

This black cubical is the most crowded rim
Claustrophobic fills the cavity in a mysterious way
As I close my eyes, commotion freeze in yellow dim

Words may decay in ages and ended stray
My soul longing for the love that never been full
Claustrophobic fills the cavity in a mysterious way

Shadow wade above the ambiguity whirlpool
My soul longing for the love that never been full
Here I am, rotting in a place they call bliss
To see reality did things as it pleased

Loner Lunar

Once there's a moon
Lived by dangle lights in vacant space
Encircle with no purpose, but created as a boon
Twirl and twirl, lonely on its pace

Collecting stars and herding constellations
Beneath the blank surface they dance together
Catch verses in lyrics, and conceal the lonesome in consolation
The moon makes darkness falls into a splendour to remember

Everything just perfect until dawn has spoken
Little moon has be gone as it down splash another night
Travelling alone, detain not to be broken
Find another place to cheer as it might

Bathed in light, forget of other presence
The moon is not just alone
Planets, fireballs, and satellites tailing behind its luminescence
For moon always facing the side that never shown

Beyond awareness, the moon drown in its shadow
Forget that other sparkles face the same lonesome
They only mumble about how quiet and pitch dark the black meadow
Until they realised their numbers and sum

The moon on throne when the eclipse has arrived
The loneliness fade as crescent smile on its face
Though all the lights are off and deprived
Entire universe feels nothing but grace

Little moon shines even brighter
For all the grace showered it with love and laughter
