Aku Awan Sepi

Bertahun tahun kita susun lembaran lembaran kisah bergaram cinta..

Kini, lembaran itu bagai sanjata pamungkas untuk menguasai awan ini..

Agar tetap meneteskan air hingga memenuhi lubang dalam dada..

Diawali dengan sesaknya paru ini untuk sedetik saja untuk bernafas bebas..

Hingga aku tenggelam didalamnya..

Aku rangkai huruf demi huruf..

Aku rangkai kata demi kata..

Hingga kau mengerti apa itu rindu..

Yang membuatku hilang dari rasa kasih..

Dan aku..

Tetaplah awan, yang menanti mentari tuk menghangatkanku..

Agar aku tak lagi meneteskan air ini..

Aku lelah menangis..

Aku lelah merindu...

Kaulah mentariku, kehangatanku..

Kita adalah pelangi, indah dan manawan..

Namun aku tahu, mentariku takkan datang..

Tak akan lagi ada pelangi dalam hidupku..

Karena kau telah pergi, dan tak kembali..

Takkan kembali..

Tuk selamanya..

Hujan ini..

Air mata ini..

Tetap akan ada selamanya..

Karena aku tak dapat menemuimu..

Wahai mentari pujaan hatiku..

A Lover's Call

by : Kahlil Gibran

Where are you, my beloved?

Are you in that little paradise,

watering the flowers who look upon you

As infants look upon the breast of their mothers?

Or are you in your chamber where the shrine of virtue has been placed in your honor,

 and upon 

Which you offer my heart and soul as sacrifice?

Or amongst the books, seeking human knowledge,

While you are replete with heavenly wisdom? 

Oh companion of my soul, where are you?

Are you praying in the temple?

Or calling Nature in the field, haven of your dreams?

Are you in the huts of the poor,

consoling the broken-hearted with the sweetness of your soul, and

Filling their hands with your bounty?

You are God's spirit everywhere

You are stronger than the ages

Do you have memory of the day we met,

when the halo of Your spirit surrounded us,

and the Angels of Love Floated about,

Singing the praise of the soul's deed?

Do you recollect our sitting in the shade of the branches,

Sheltering ourselves from Humanity,

as the ribs protect the divine secret of the heart from injury?

Remember you the trails and forest we walked,

with hands joined, and our heads leaning against each other,

 as if we were hiding ourselves within ourselves?

Recall you the hour I bade you farewell,

And the Maritime kiss you placed on my lips?

That kiss taught me that joining of lips in Love

Reveals heavenly secrets which the tongue cannot utter!

That kiss was introduction to a great sigh,

Like the Almighty's breath that turned earth into man

That sigh led my way into the spiritual world,

Announcing the glory of my soul, and there

It shall perpetuate until again we meet

I remember when you kissed me and kissed me,

With tears coursing your cheeks,

and you said,

"Earthly bodies must often separate for earthly purpose,

And must live apart impelled by worldly intent

"But the spirit remains joined safely in the hands of

Love, until death arrives and takes joined souls to God

"Go, my beloved; Love has chosen you her delegate,

Over her, for she is Beauty who offers to her follower

The cup of the sweetness of life

As for my own empty arms, your love shall remain my comforting groom

your memory, my Eternal wedding." 

Where are you now, my other self?

Are you awake in the silence of the night?

Let the clean breeze convey to you my heart's every beat and affection.

Are you fondling my face in your memory?

That image is no longer my own,

for Sorrow has dropped his shadow on my happy countenance of the past

Sobs have withered my eyes which reflected your beauty

And dried my lips which you sweetened with kisses

Where are you, my beloved?

Do you hear my weeping from beyond the ocean?

Do you understand my need?

Do you know the greatness of my patience?

Is there any spirit in the air capable of conveying

To you the breath of this dying youth?

Is there any secret communication between angels that will carry to You my complaint?


Where are you, my beautiful star?

The obscurity of life

Has cast me upon its bosom; sorrow has conquered me

Sail your smile into the air; it will reach and enliven me!

Breathe your fragrance into the air; it will sustain me!

Where are you, me beloved?

Oh, how great is Love!

And how little am I!

Waktu Tua

Disaat waktu tua…

Disaat daku tua, bukan lagi diriku yang dulu

Maklumilah diriku, bersabarlah dalam menghadapiku….

Disaat daku menumpahkan kuah sayuran di bajuku

Disaat daku tidak lagi mengingat cara mengikatkan tali sepatu

Ingatlah saat-saat bagaimana daku mengajarimu, membimbingmu untuk melakukannya….

Disaat daku dengan pikunnya mengulang terus menerus ucapan yang membosankanmu

Bersabarlah mendengarkanku, jangan memotong ucapanku

Dimasa kecilmu, daku harus mengulang dan mengulang terus sebuah cerita ribuan kali, hingga kau terbuai mimpi….
