Puisi Kaki Lima - The boring life

I chose the boring life
consciously.

I want to sit in idle
Watching trains passing by
Listening to the town
Waking up to a Monday morning

Sitting down on my navy blue
tired bean bag
Drinking concoction of spicy ginger, stainy turmeric, numbing pepper, exciting lemon juice tamed by the soothing wild flower honey

I chose the boring life

consciously.

Off coffee now and thus

I became 'mundane'

This 'slowness' is making me disciplined

And I am at peace

I do what I want and when I want it

Liberated from time-chasing-dream-crushing-old-me

I chose this boring life

consciously

And I am free.

Puisi Sejengkal - The Had Had

We exchange texts every day, wonder if there's any real 'beat' in those words..we often say good night, wonder if our dream stays the same throughout..

Puisi Sejengkal - Momentary Joy

My heart leaped for a moment
when you called
Thinking that you'd finally found
me worthy of hearing your voice

But it shattered into pieces the moment you said,
"D asked you a question. Check your phone."

Proxy. Hurts.

Puisi Sejengkal - Pasti

Malam tiba tak ditunggu
Siang menghampir tak pula dijanji

Usia mati kian muda
Pautlah pada Dia yang pasti

Puisi Sejengkal - Waras

Bingitnya sunyi dan lapangnya diam itu
sesuatu yang menyakitkan.

Tika detik berlalu tearasa amat panjang
kabur penglihatan akal mencari waras yang hilang.

Puisi Sejengkal - Jumaat

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Jumaat ini aku sambut
dengan memagar nafsu
memperteguh iman.

Biar dosa silam
tinggal di masa lalu
dinafikan pertemuan semula.

Puisi Sejengkal - Mati

Tiada yang masih hidup pernah merasakan
kecuali sebentar cuma tatkala langit menjadi gelap
mimpi seakan nyata.

Hakikatnya, semua pasti merasai
Sekadar tibanya tidak diketahui.
