Sugar & Cologne

Sweet and delicate
But who knows what's inside
Mystery revealed but yet
Curiosity ignited
Why is that so?

Smiles and tears
Like lanterns under the moon
Count your blessings
Glorious impression is the source
Why is that so?

Scents and flavors
In every corner of a round shape
Noise of love resonated
Overcome the bareness of lust
Why is that so?

Feelings and thoughts
of losing are around you
Roaming like fireflies
Stalking at the door
Why is that so?

It's complicated
Just follow the light
Let's not blown away
Too much sugar will kill you

600 Days

Even if we turn pale
Nothing will happen
We can't continue
To live in traditional way

The world is rolling around
Even faster than before
That we might not even feel
The rotation around us

We can't pull back
We have gone too far
I really wish I can pretend
Not to understand

Can you feel the acceleration?
Increased again and again
We persistently go along this path
To the end of the world

I turned over the small hourglass
With my hand many times
The whereabouts of this tale
Should just be inside the box of dreams

The sky of tragedies
The dreaming wilderness
Can we go back
To the way we used to be?

Road of No Return

Where shall I return to today?
It's a momentary encounter
Things that gone and things that disappeared
How many flames are scorched because of the light?

The importance of something is meaningless
Unless you understand how to play with fire
Everything seems tricky to where it went
All those footsteps of yours are uneraseable

Some things that changed
Some things that will change
Some things that are changing
Some things that have changed
Some things that cannot be changed
Would it be that way forever? To the ends of the earth?

Being lost and then found
I shall stand amidst narrow chasms of calamity
Where shall I return to today?
Where shall I look to tomorrow?

Laughing as if crying
Crying as if laughing
Screaming and laughing are quite simila
Isn't it?

Last Forever

Between us and the sky
There is an invisible border
The green unripe apple is so solid
But tomorrow never knows

Those hanging fruits of yours
Appears to be something significant
Please, even if it hasn't ripe yet
Will you save it and keep it for me?

These vessel of ours
Being incapable to stay any longer
As we expect for it, crumbled down

Names and Numbers aren't necessary
Colors and Promises are fading away
Words and Sights are useless
What are we waiting for?

This frail shell of a thread will collapse
None of us is a cheap knock off
I wonder who is the Ariadne

Hold our breath
Close our eyes
Show us love

We don't need interpretation anymore

Gone Tomorrow

Are we playing games?
I think you should remember about Alice in wonderland
Anything that simply inspired is somehow quite bizzare
Don't you think so?

Dead serious and expressionless
How long you will play this kind of hide and seek?
It's not a prize to be won over

The docile and emotionless demeanor and obedient nature
In a less idealized manner
This portrayal might be of someone dim-witted, lifeless, subdued
Should it be portrayed as bold and assertive instead?

No one can read, no one
There is other joy than being given to give each other
It's just...

Orange Asphalt

It's the shades of dusk again
Serving the black & white earnestly
We go on the road that leads to the future

"There are some days when it's so hateful."
You are anxious to hide your transgressions, don't you?
We need to let go all of those passions and desires
That's how we walked towards the sunset

We are portraying a visible image of a bond
We bring the presence that can manipulate our direction
It's beyond responsibility, it's beyond a simple duty

But we feel restricted in austere atmosphere and image
But we barely can see to almost everything in this current vessel
It's not because of the gravity force, it's not an attraction

We assembly and it's a necessity
The we without them, is not we at all
Passions and desires shall let go from here
As we depart together with the sky of dusk

Pelita

There are times when other language cannot communicate your message very well, so this time the first post for this year is using my first language. The title meaning is like a "light" or an "oil lamp."

Jarum itu telah berputar ribuan bahkan jutaan kali...

Alunan waktu terus berlalu dan berlalu
Dan semakin terlihat betapa kecilnya
Persimpangan jalan yang telah dilewati

Entah apa yang terjadi jika saat itu
Detak jantung ini bergerak melangkah kesana

Tapi sesuatu yang hilang kini telah terlihat kembali
Seperti sebuah terang datang menghampiri
Bagaikan sebuah ilusi yang nyata berdiri

Sebuah terang yang kecil tapi nyalanya kuat
Membuat tetesan air yang begitu hangat telah membasahi
Mulut ini, kini yang selalu berdoa  terus mendampingi

Ingin kudekap terang yang hangat itu
Menjaga nyalanya agar senantiasa bersinar
Tidak seperti kembang api yang hanya satu kali

Waktu yang terbaik telah menanti
Tak tahan dan tak bisa mengelak lagi
Aku ingin pergi membawa terang ini
Dan tak ingin lagi aku merasa sendiri

Tak ada gunanya lagi melihat kebelakang
Menyusuri jalanan gelap yang sudah dilalui

Biarlah tampak sebuah langit
Yang cahayanya bertebaran
Terhampar luas penuh sinar
Menyinari mata dan hati

Di tengah hari yang terus berganti
Mari terus berlari hingga lelah menanti
Bersama terang yang menerangi

Sekalipun semua sudah mengetahui
Bahwa kita tidak akan pernah lelah berlari
Tak akan kita tertinggal sendiri
Sampai pada kesudahannya nanti...
