I hear her crying
from my undertow
sad life
attention deprived
she calls out names
that they cannot hear
like absent trickling
from her tears
what wound did not heal
tells the truth of it all
what makes her weep
what makes her cry herself
to sleep
and she will be crying
untill she gets sore
the little girl
that lives next door

Penantian
Ketika
aku dan awan
berjauhan
leka
meratap indah membuai
saat aku coba berlari
terjatuh
sangsi tanggapan imagi
aku salah tentang dunia
tak ada yang nyata
cuma
bila aku mau menyapai
bintang yang tinggi
tak samapi seribu tahun lagi
penat aku di sini
lelah aku menanti
kedatangan indahnya malam berseri
wajah ayu mu yang cantik
tak akan ku lupai
walau kau masih jauh di sana
akan ada aku di sini
menanti

Everyhing that I need
I am outside looking in
wondering
and wondering
what life would be
I'm gasping for air
restless
forgetting time and time
the fickle minded never despairs
believe thy God be He!
not thy enemies
or the sword that be envy
of thy kings
Be scouts and start fire
flaming through the stars
lighting hearts desire
comforting the beauty
the blanket that shines
the night
be ashes upon us
sleeping us through
hollows of wooden statues
without a broken hand
could he love
that without it
did I ponder upon
myself
and everything I need

For our soul
The sun
parallel to the moon
stagnant
between stars
clouds
hidden behind tears
of unwanted beings
perhaps
what became of our despair
despite neither of us
too desperate to explain
between man and God
time and space exists
humanity makes a living
from what we saw
did we encounter life as it is
beautiful, mistakenly driven
by what miserable
wants, needs and nots
we on the other hand
are guilty to what we hold
for the future is of our past
and the past is only
for our soul

You
Dreams
are made of these
of me and you
like how we first started
our first kiss
our first touch
those first words
the first love we ever had
strangely enough
there are no words
that could explain
when you've found her
like how an ordinary life
would be
without the incidents of love
passing through
what brought us here
and here we are
with our lives barely new
thrown dead into love
for what craving
to touch, to kiss and to hold
without complying to whatever
comes in between
and through all of that
it was worth all the pain
the happiness, the joy
for I could never imagine
living my life
with anyone else
but you
