solivagus-ephemeris - Hello Poetry

Etched on your palms Were thousands of my love letters Traced along your line of heart was the secret language of my soul In your hands I found the warmth that embraced my cold ones The tender silence you offered when the world was too busy to listen And now, As pieces of you start to fade away Your hands remain…. The phantom limbs that hold me fast still.

Phantom Limbs

Etched on your palms Were thousands of my love letters Traced along your line of heart was the secret language of my soul In your hands I found the warmth that embraced my cold ones The tender silence you offered when the world was too busy to listen And now, As pieces of you start to fade away Your hands remain…. The phantom limbs that hold me fast still.

Empty mug Mute Cellphone Another Mute Cellphone Faint Buzz of Old Fan In this silence... A hollowed soul tries to decipher the meaning of doubt And uncertainties of mind What are we? Somewhere along this line And the three hours distance Have blurred the real intention The heart that's never trained to believe Unable to trust the promises made Is like the weathervane Changing directions as the wind wishes

It's too early to say love Like the untimely snow in the early October The leaves just changed to red and gold Too soon to be burdened by the snow It's too early to say love To be entangled in the unfamiliar feelings I only feel strangled by your affection Lies pile in exchange for a second to breathe

The Untimely Snow

It's too early to say love Like the untimely snow in the early October The leaves just changed to red and gold Too soon to be burdened by the snow It's too early to say love To be entangled in the unfamiliar feelings I only feel strangled by your affection Lies pile in exchange for a second to breathe

Bittersweet... or plain bitterness? I strangely can't remember The remnants of what had come to past still ripping me apart The faintest scent lingers The scent I'd love to hate, hate to love It's no longer a person that I miss But pieces that remind me of who you were A moment too short is a moment still The memory had found its way to be kept Hidden in the universe of my thoughts Who knows when the smallest thing would trigger The agony...the complacency...the bittersweet

Memories of you never fade away… Sounds of your songs never melt from my heart I wish you good bye as the feeling sinking deep My heart beats along the rhythm of gentle rain No more sad story please No more of saying I’m sorry I let go as the dream of you passed me by My steps waltzing over the rain drops The orange sun is mellowing the day Four Seasons must have separated our ways We dance our own way to extraordinary days I let go… Good Bye… I really don’t want to cry…

When the earth was still asleep in its wintry slumber You were waltzing away on the streets of the floating city Celebrating a farewell to flesh in merriment and guise Yet the smileless bauta you wore could not shelter The eyes of a dreamer that had been deprived of vivacity Painstakingly embracing the seconds that paved the way to demise Gripping the hands of your mourning lover You were dancing once more to the waltz of sleeping beauty Out of breath, you joined the earth with your unbroken smile

The Last Carnival

When the earth was still asleep in its wintry slumber You were waltzing away on the streets of the floating city Celebrating a farewell to flesh in merriment and guise Yet the smileless bauta you wore could not shelter The eyes of a dreamer that had been deprived of vivacity Painstakingly embracing the seconds that paved the way to demise Gripping the hands of your mourning lover You were dancing once more to the waltz of sleeping beauty Out of breath, you joined the earth with your unbroken smile

Di perjalanan yang kau dan aku tempuh Mencari makna tentang kata kita Di tengah semarak laskar kuning menggemuruh Romantika ganjil antara dua pasang mata Masih banyak petualangan yang menanti Ekspedisi kupu-kupu atau jelajah taman satwa Di atas bis ini kau dan aku temukan teman sejati Layaknya anak kecil, bersama tertawa Bait-bait ini mungkin tak mengandung arti Bagi mereka yang tak pernah mengalami Baik-baik kau simpan rahasia ini dalam hati Begitupun aku, jauh di selubuk memori

You're a call to leave the world of virtual Embark on a real journey we shall to the midnight realm of the whimsical Past the yellow cavalry and the anonymous imagery We'll find ourselves reading poetry! One day we sit by the creek or watch the city from over the peak One day we become the expert of avocado pies Next we are the pros of tarantulas and butterflies You're a call a bus ride ticket to the enchanting fall I hope this feeling is mutual 'Cause I don't want this list to end, that is all!

Tenggelam dalam riak nafasmu Bagai ombak bertalu-talu di tepian kalbu Terbuai oleh lantunan irama kehidupan Bersenandung dibalik kerangkeng iga Aku perahu di lautan luasmu Tanpa dermaga yang hendak ku tuju Hening malam tak kuasa membungkam Detak yang berteriak memuja semesta _______________________________ *Engulfed in the ripples of your breath Tides pulsing at the shorelines of soul Lulled by the chanting rhythm of life Strumming against the rib cage I am a boat in your vast ocean Without a harbor to go to The silence of night can't hold in the heartbeats that bellow praises to universe*

Semburat lembayung mewarnai cakrawala Hawa senja mendekap sisa asa yang masih ada Tak seorangpun berani berbicara Terbungkam oleh angan menembus masa Mentari lambat laun kembali ke persembunyiannya Bumi seolah bernafas kembali Setelah terengah-engah berlari bersama waktu Mencambuk manusia untuk selalu mengejar sesuatu --------- *Tinge of violet washes over the horizon The breath of dusk embraces the remnants of hope No one dares to speak a word Stifled by desires that pierce through the ages The Sun slowly returns to its lair As Earth begins to breathe again After a winded race against Time Lashing Man into a perpetual pursuit of Things*
