?

memang betul kata mereka.
cinta adalah parasit.
sedikit demi sedikit ia menggerogoti kehidupan
setiap amunisi senyum ia habiskan
setiap canda tawa dan selera humor menjadi garing
setiap kata yang tertulis menjadi manifestasi kenarsisannya,
tanpa sengaja lima huruf itu ada di setiap sudut kertas.
dengan sengaja, mungkin, ia mendistorsi tiap mimpi yang seharusnya kreatif dan orisinal  menjadi sebuah stereotip dangkal.

namun

puji Tuhan yang menciptakan alam semesta,
kini lima huruf itu terhapuskan.
entah penghapus siapa yang kupinjam
mungkin sang pemilik sekarang sedang mencarinya.

aku memang tak pernah membeli penghapus,
karena aku tak berniat menghapus.
tapi sekarang telah tiba saatnya,
agar lima huruf yang biasa menempati tiap sudut kertas,
semua pujian dan dambaan yang dahulu menyerap tiap hembusan nafas,
semua kedangkalan yang terus berputar menjadi satu lingkaran setan,
menjungkirbalikkan perasaan,
mempermainkan air mata yang mulai langka,
ya.
telah tiba waktu baginya untuk menghilang,
untuk dihapus.
peduli setan apakah penghapus itu pinjaman atau milik pribadi.

yang penting
adalah,
hapus.
hapus.
hapus.

ah, kertas itu kini kosong. senang rasanya.

menjadi penguntit

disini aku
di belakang benda metal ini, terpaku
menjadi penguntit
walau aku pun tak mengerti mengapa

batasan normal kulangkahi
hingga garis kewarasan mulai kabur
ceritamu dan ceritaku melebur menjadi satu
terserap aku dalam satu pusaran itu
satu dunia. dua cerita. berbeda. satu rasa
merasakanmu
merasakanku

padahal apa yang kulakukan?
aku hanya disini,
di belakang benda metal ini,

menjadi penguntit.

heartofworship



when the music fades
all is stripped away
and i simply come
longing just to bring
something that's of worth
that will bless your heart

i'll bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
is not what you have required
you search much deeper within
through the way things appear
you're looking into my heart

chorus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
and it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things i've made it
when it's all about you
it's all about you, Jesus

King of endless worth
no one could express
how much you deserve
though i'm weak and poor
all i have is yours
every single breath


continuously listening to this song.
i am completely speechless when it's all about you, Jesus
:)

yang kupuja.

Bukan nyanyian
pujian
sembah syukur
tangan yang terangkat
wajah yang menengadah
roti serta anggur
air mata yang terjatuh pelan
atau lidah yang berkelit,

hanya sebuah kata rindu
padaMU yang kerap kulupakan

things that i can be thankful of?

i was feeling a bit pathetic about myself for the last few days. sure, i had some busyness at the campus, but then after that, i got nothing else to do. so i went to the mall and spent hours sitting there in the most crowded part, brain walking. drop a tear or two. no smile. got people looking weird at me.
i was a mess.
than i went to the restroom and caught a glimpse of my reflection on the mirror. an ugly girl with messy hair and miserable face expression was starring back at me. i laughed to see such an ugly face, and figured out i can't be this pathetic. so i took out my cell phone and start writing something unnecessary.
really unnecesarry and a little cheesy.
but well, i guess i am one of those cheesy-kind-of-person. so ah whattheheck.
here it is:

things that youcan be thankful of:
  1. you have your leg to bring you around! imagine if you're lame! (wrote this right after i saw a girl having to walk around the mal with crutches.)
  2. you still have a mother and a father. you get to hug them anytime you come home! some people don't.(wrote this after i was being reminded by myself that some of my close friends aren't that lucky when it comes to family fulfillment.)
  3. you get to continue your study at a university. some people don't. heck, a lot of people don't!
  4. you are not crazy. your brain is working perfectly fine, so that when you face problems, you won't be mad and go nuts. you'll handle it with your mature thoughts.
  5. your education is being paid a group of people! some people must work extra hard just to stay in theirs!
  6. you have a job and that shows how mature you are. some people don't even have anything to do!
  7. you get high scores on your exams. some must face the fact that they're incapable of knowledge. some drop out from college. some get their life messed up and never get to be successful in life. 
  8. you're not making your parent's life hard. instead, you're kinda' giving them a breath of fresh air. do you know how noble your action is?
  9. you're good at singing. some people must close their own ears just to sing. 
  10. you're not bad at english. well at least you're kinda' good not to fail the exams. that stuff can actually make you look a bit intelligent and somehow...modern.
  11. you have a GOD nes. some people don't. and they can get really crazy when they're depressed, because they have nowhere to turn to. they end up killing themselves with a large amount of medicines, or a gun, or a free fall from the roof top.
you are lucky.
SO WHAT if it's love. as people usually say, there's a lot of fish in the water! :)

yes people, so the core of the pathetic-miserable-face is, once again, arrrggh love life.
please understand if this post may sound a little narcissistic, i need 'em to boost my mood up.

angelsindisguise

maybe angels in disguise really do exist.
they barge in to you unexpectedly, when you're on your most breakdown.
they don't care if you're pathetic
if you spent a whole box of tissue to wipe away your stupid tears
if you look ugly with -what's-left-of-your-mascara- running down your cheek
or if you spend a lot of your monthly allowance on high fat snacks to accompany your moans

they're there to listen.
they don't ask you not to be you.
they're just there.
offering ears to listen.
and shoulder to cry on.
they won't say a word if you don't want to.
they will say one word that will lift you up when you need them to.

they smile
and say "everything's gonna be okay"
or they tell you the truth
and not complain if the truth they're saying will make you cry more
and keep them locked inside your pathetic world even more.

time don't keep them on schedule
so that they will leave you in the middle of your crying
or that they will cut your words down when you're confiding to them
they will be there till you're sick of them and ask them to leave
and they won't be mad at you if you do do that
because they understand.

they offer hope
and not sweet lies

and after you're awake
you won't find them anywhere near you
because they're out there,
helping another broken souls just like you

but hey, they won't leave you alone
they leave you their halo
so that when you look really closely at your upper head
you'll see it shining
and you'll know that you're not just dreaming about them.

late night imagination.
corrine may - angels in disguise playing on winamp.
no freakin' wonder.
