Getaran ‘tak bersuara,
Sampaikan untaian kata,
‘Tak terucap bibir manusia.
Ia percikkan sebuah rasa,
Indah damainya bagai nirwana,
Namun mungkinkah, semu belaka?
Bisaku hanyalah diam bertanya,
KepadaMu, Wahai Maha Cinta,
Apakah t’lah ‘Kau susun sebuah rencana,
Dengan perjumpaanku dengan dirinya?

Spontanitas berkarya, walau hanya sepatah dua patah kata, ketika gelombang komunikasi menyampaikan pesan pendek tak bersuara :).
Indonesian (Original Version)
***
Dua kata,
Satu dan empat untaiannya,
Penutup dan pembuka,
Menggugah hati 'tuk bertanya,
Apa kah yang dimaksud olehnya?
English (Translation)
Two words,
One and four shall be the count,
The closing and the beginning,
The heart then curiously asks,
What can it possibly mean?

Mengingat masa lalu...

Do you remember that time,
When the day overlapped the night?
The street was cold and quiet,
And you heard nothing but the sky’s cry.
There I sat, on one corner of life,
Suffocated, and silently I screamed,
You heard it, well, maybe not,
But still, you found me, and you saved me.
You took my hands and pulled me out,
Of that which almost drowned me,
And together we fought the rain,
And escaped to a place where wounds could heal.
Did you feel, the warmth I felt on that rainy day,
When I found sanctuary behind your back,
Did you know, at the time of years away,
Something grew within, that now still stays?
And can you hear, My Cherished One?
Just like that time, the sky’s now weeping,
But alas, I have not you here,
And this rain I must fight alone..

A random poem that I wrote few weeks ago. I got the inspiration after I read a story online. I am indeed lucky.
++ Voice ++
Here I am, inside,
Imprisoned, in a house of ignorance,
Not knowing the reason of my existence.
There you are, outside,
Here I hear the sky rip as you fiercely talk ,
And feel the earth tremble as you proudly walk.
Far away you are, from me,
I’m a defender of justice! You roared,
And you will not rest, ‘til the law is restored.
When the sun descends and the light is no more,
You’ll enter without knocking on my door,
Nor whispering the words I’ve been yearning for.
Then you’ll tell me the story of your day’s fight,
How you slain your enemies with all your might,
And I can see your pride reaching the mountains in height.
But my dear, tell me,
Whose justice is it that you are striving for?
When I’m here, unspoken for.
I’m a captive of your protection, cast away,
From the world filled with lustful desires, you say,
And inside this veil of shame, I shall forever stay.
I’m silenced, for my voice is made unheard,
I’m blinded, for my eyes are blindfolded,
I’m unknown, for my identity is forever masked.
Tell me, are you as just as you truly claim?
When in front of you, lies an empty frame,
Who wanders in life without an aim,
All because of you, whom I have never loved…

Another random poem. It is unfinished and I don't know when I'll have the inspiration to finish it off *sighs*
***
Live, I have never experienced,
Love, I have never embraced,
Freedom, I have never been granted,
Crying, was all I ever learned to do,
Her scream, was all I ever heard,
His hands, were all I ever felt,
When suddenly, I lost my voice,
It was dark, it suffocated me,
Before long, I knew I was there no more,
Now I see the stars fall, and the sun overthrown,
I behold his sight, struck with terror,
For my Lord has asked me,
“For what sin were you slain?”
--
People told me, I was indeed fortunate,
My share of life, was greater than the others,
But how could I be sufficient?
When there was much wealth to gather!
Thus in life I greatly desired,
To be adorned with holy diamonds,
And build myself a temple of gold,
Which I would guard against anyone!
Those were the days, that I now call miles away,
The blast of a Trump has just awakened me,
Before me is the scrolls unrolled,
And to the Garden dwellers I can only say,
“I cried lies to this Day, ‘til It came unto me.”
--
There was a land, renown for its riches,
All its people, desired to be on the top,
And I was the one standing with glory,
Yea! Truly my Lord has honored me,
What I was bestowed, I ought to protect,
Thus I turned away from the people of the street,
And listened not to the cry of the fatherless,
Yea! I shunned them all who would reduce,
The finery of life I dearly love,
No, I did not remember ‘til the earth is crushed,
And now, that which binds is brought nigh,
Far I can see the peaceful ones at rest, and I sigh,
“Alas! If only I had prepared for this!”
--
“I gathered and hoarded wealth,
Because my wife feared poverty.”
“I was unkind to my neighbours,
Because they hurt the pride of my progeny.”
“I did not weigh with full measure,
Because I sought the favour of my brother.”
“I turned away and fled from the Path,
Because I saw that most walked the other way.”
“They, are the ones, who have led me astray,
And thus, let them carry for me my sins.”
I defended. But the scale remains still,
And I know, just like the scattered hills,
My hope of redemption has flown away...
