Sepasang Mata Coklat

Kepada mata coklat berwarna pekat,
Nyata mu mengudara sekabur kabut putih
Ada, kasat mata, tidak ketara

Sampai ironi terbersit keadaan
Terik siang termakan pudar cahaya
Gelap tiba terkira
Yang tidak adalah setelahnya
Kurang dari setengah malam tukar kata
Soal tiap sudut pelik hidup manusia di bawah sinar kota
Dan pandang kita pada titik yang sama
Berlomba dengan tetesan penghapus rasa, pengelambu panca indra
Ada sesuatu terayun sendu,
Terantuk ujung tepi ragu

Dan lagi tatap berbicara banyak tanpa suara
Di antara genggam yang tak ingin diraih, baru bisa akhirnya terasa:
Sirat baru dari hadir yang sudah sejak lalu
Tatapan coklat, berwarna pekat, sepasang mata dan sekeping hangat pun menghinggap.

We will always be a could have had

I used to crawl into bed with the pain of your name Blood streaming down my eyes; praying for the time you came Screaming for air at the same time Not ready to hug you with another goodbye My whole life I only know you as one, And eighteen, twenty one, also thousands of none That afternoon I let the day passed by And yet, you go back to the place when we were still blind The tight hug is not helping at all Neither the easy tone wrapped in a loose t-shirt Your whole existence reminds me of hell I’ve been living in Since the last time you let us be gone And leave me here all alone Those days I wasn’t even sure I will survive because I used to run from everything by going to your reek-of-cigarettes words and cold as stone mouth. The sweet “ oh, darling, remember that you will always come home to me ,” used to make relieve streamed down all over my bones. That was enough, the hand to my limped foot; the band-aid to my burning world. My name rolled over the messages which I knew who it...
