Life's a journey.

Don't wander too far,
Or you might get lost.
If you are planning to,
Then think.
Is it worth the cost?
When you walk,
Take what you need,
Ignore what you want.
Because you cannot have everything,
You just can't.
Find your place,
Start your pace.
Slowly. Don't worry.
It's not a race.
Fill your heart with knowledge and education,
And see the world with less expectation,
For life is a journey, not a destination.

Untuk Mamaku Tercinta by WS Rendra

Mama yang tercinta,
Akhirnya kutemukan juga jodohku,
Seseorang bagai kau,
Sederhana dalam tingkah dan bicara,
Serta sangat menyayangiku.

Mama,
Burung darah juntal nakal,
Yang sejak dulu kau pelihara,
Kini terbang dan menemui jodohnya.

Mama,
Aku telah menemukan jodohku,
Janganlah kau cemburu,
Hendaklah hatimu yang baik itu mengerti,
Pada waktunya,
Aku mesti kau lepas pergi.

WS Rendra,
Untuk Mamaku Tercinta.

Sinners

Sometimes when I close my eyes,
I wish everything was gone,
All the things I did wrong,
And all the the monsters that I have become.
Which is more terrifying,
To do the sins,
Or keep living with the sins.
How careless have I been,
Thinking that Death was on my side,
When all along,
I was entirely on his sight.

Bulan yang Sama

Tangan bertemu tangan,
Mulut mengukir senyuman,
Tak perlu diucap kata,
Seolah hati suka sama suka.
Sungguh aku rindu masa lalu,
Saat kita mula bertemu,
Seolah dunia milik kau dan aku.
Kita ibarat anak kecil,
Dalam sebuah pengembaraan,
Meneroka dengan tawa dan bahagia,
Umpama pasangan enak bercinta.
Tapi apakan daya,
Setiap yang hidup pasti akan mati,
Setiap yang datang pasti akan pergi.
Pesanku wahai teman,
Jika rindu seseorang bernama kawan,
Dongaklah,
Senyumlah,
Kerna walau dimana kita berada,
Kita tetap menatap rupa bulan yang sama.

Choices

I'm writing this up,
To clear off my mind,
Though I may feel nuts,
Searching for something I cannot find.

I asked myself every morning,
Where have you been,
Because I need to tell you something,
But I don't know where to begin.

I wrote it on a paper,
Everything I want to say,
But the pen just chasing my finger,
Because I lost my words half the way.

So I listened to my heart,
For what it's going to say,
I know it's hard,
But this is the only way.

I close my eyes,
And found this small voice,
That want's you to make a choice,
whether to stay or walk away.

If you stay,
I'll take you far away,
And dance your favourite song,
Every night and day.

If you walk away,
The pain is the price I have to pay,
For your love game that I started to play,
Believing that it would be my lucky day.

The Dark

When the devil touches your soul,
You'll find your heart an empty hole,
You'll see everything with one eyed,
Because the dark is now your guide.
No matter how much you lied,
In the end you cannot hide.
Find back the light,
In the middle of the night,
Because dark sins will come back to bite.

Where does broken heart go.

I have a heart,
That I love so much,
Until you came,
And change everything.
You said it's going to be okay,
So I gave my heart away.
But you tore it apart,
Into tiny, broken heart.
I've walked away,
Don't force me to stay,
Memories of you,
I've left on the shore,
I don't hate you,
But surely I love you no more.
I need to walk away,
With my heart to follow.
But do tell me,
Where does broken heart go.
