A Vision Of Faeries

Cor Blimey!
Such vision my two eyes have seen
Of faeries dancing under the crepuscules of sunset!
Their skins and wings were gleamed in sweat
Adorned in solar glare!
Their flicks and twists and swings and sway
Are brimmed with sweet duende!

But one I've seen with golden skin
Disrobed her cloak upon me.
Thus I could see her freckled wings
Unfurled so wide before me.
Her zephyr-caressed auburn hair
Flutters with a certain flair
That I can't help but look, no, stare.
Ignored by her intime affair;
Unwitting, she my heart ensnare.

And lo, she carried on with their sweet dance
And filled the air, they, with a slight nuance
And senses drown in sensuality
And cupids up above at last agree:

That in their dance, I'm trapped in trance
And sparked a one-sided romance
For I, the odds are stacked against my chance
To join the faerie in a lasting dance.

But I can't act like I forgot
That in their dance she casts a glance
So fleeting brief that I cannot
Return and meet it with my eyes...

...and with her friends, away the faerie flies.

A vision of faeries in their dancing game
Left me lonely in my chamber to console
My lovely, gold-skinned fairy! I found your name
Affectionately engraved in my soul!

Tolong

Tolong! Aku baru terbangun dari tidurku Dari mimpi Dan aku melihat Lengan dan jari-jariku Sudah menjadi besi Tolong! Aku baru terbangun dari mimpi Dari tidurku Dan segala nadi arteri Di tanganku Menjadi selang berminyak Dan saraf-sarafku menjadi kabel timah Tolong aku! Aku baru selesai bermimpi Akan hidup di atas awan pelangi Dan akan darah dan peluh dan air mani Yang semanis madu dan warna-warni Tapi ketika aku membuka mataku Untuk menghadapi kenyataan di depanku Yang kulihat hanyalah abu-abu Selamatkan aku! Karena aku tak bisa lagi menoleh kiri-kanan Dan yang kulihat di depan Hanyalah Soekarno-Hatta dan Ngurah Rai dan Otto Iskandardinata serta Pattimura Dan kakiku tanpa sadarku berjalan kesitu Dan aku kehilangan kesadaranku Dan aku hanya bisa rindu Dengan kegilaan mimpiku Tadi malam itu Sisa-sisa kewarasanku sudah terpakai untuk mengejar orang-orang itu. Terus mengejar orang-orang itu Tanpa berlari Dan dengan hanya duduk Termenung Dalam seb...

Lockdown Breakdown

I see no point in going on For everything goes dim ahead of me I have no will to carry on Redemption is just not a choice for me Is it because I’m lonely? And why am I so sad? Is my mind going crazy? How could this go so bad? I trapped myself for days on end Repeating every day inside a lie To run from things I should have done But swear to god I really don’t know why Is it because I’m crazy? Else, why am I so glad To yield and say that I’m just lazy? Why has it gone so bad? I see my life regressing back When all around me flourish, shine, and bloom I feel my head does badly lack Some things that could have saved me from my doom Is it some mind disorder? Is it really that bad? That I just can’t be bothered What have had gone so bad? I really want to sort myself But say, those leaves look like a horny mouse Maybe I’ll do it later Or tomorrow Or the day after the day after the day after the day after the day after the day after the day after the day af...
