Cycle of the clock
Irisa May 2021
The future that disguised in recent-like moment
and it swiftly turns into past
Time feels slow
but unknowingly fast
419 · Feb 2021
Best day:
Irisa Feb 2021
There is a worst day awaits
for that day to be pay off
358 · Sep 2021
Past
Irisa Sep 2021
I still taste the past
Lingering in my day
I thought thing that had over wouldn't last
But it still there along the way
Even if I forgot
Its existence wouldn't simply erase
Even if I remember
As a mere memory, only in my mind it stays
356 · Feb 2021
One
Irisa Feb 2021
One
It's one
And never be two
You never know
It's you
You’re the first and the last who come
To me

It's one
And there is none after
It's always you
Not others
You’re the first and the last would be
For me

Learning
Irisa Mar 2021
Mouth is shut, let it be silence and peace
Listen to the voice that will guide us how we speak
The intonation that you imitate for that is
the basic to get the knowledge that we seek
304 · Feb 2021
Good failure
Irisa Feb 2021
Failure gives more to experience
That's why with it we grow resilient
286 · Jun 2021
Do Not Quit
Irisa Jun 2021
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the chances are low and the demands are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When all is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you could never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems far,
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit
278 · Mar 2021
Reason
Irisa Mar 2021
If you come to be the reason
Then I will take the excuse
Handling whatever that could happen
For that it is a result I can't refuse
230 · Apr 2021
Priority
Irisa Apr 2021
Letting yourself stay only at the bare minimum
Not having yourself bear the weight of your own expectation
Giving most of you, little by little, piece by piece
After the long run, it seems like you vanish
But actually you spread all over everywhere
224 · Jul 2021
Dawn
Irisa Jul 2021
When the weight of your own soul feels like too much to bear
In the darkest of night, where the stars shine brighter than ever
And each one will lead you into the dawn
224 · Dec 2023
Grand
Irisa Dec 2023
Being happy is grand
A poor me can't afford that
Still the heart has its right
To feel whatever there
So when happiness is given
True it won't be long
So appreciate the moment
Before it'll forever gone
219 · Mar 2022
Fight
Irisa Mar 2022
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal

Rise from where life trampled you over
Defeat, first, not the enemy but your own fear
215 · Feb 2021
Escape
Irisa Feb 2021
Reality hits with " do you really think you can run away in the fleeting moment?"
At least, I escaped even for only a second
205 · Feb 2021
Breaking point
Irisa Feb 2021
When you silent to agree or argue
When you work but keep fail
When you stand just to fall
When you live but not alive
197 · Dec 2023
Andai
Irisa Dec 2023
Mungkin saja dunia ini benar-benar membenciku
Andailah aku boleh memilih untuk tidak bertahan
Tetapi tiada jalan selain berjuang
167 · Aug 2022
Regret
Irisa Aug 2022
If ever time could turn back again
Would I not make the same mistake?
Walking through different lane
Could've this heart of mine not ache?
160 · Jan 2021
Seamless clouds ripple
Irisa Jan 2021
Like another ocean
With another light
Of another star
After another night
160 · Feb 2021
2F
Irisa Feb 2021
2F
In your day, consider,
when something or someone
comes into your life,
Whether as a fact or fantasy
116 · Jan 2021
Hope
Irisa Jan 2021
"Can you hear it...this melody, the wheels of fortune are already turning.
Can the capriccio leading to destruction be stopped,I wonder.
O sorrowful warriors who must bear the cross known as peace, by the violent hands of a creature who knows not love , our paradise has been transformed into a chaotic nation where control is non-existent.
There is no way to end this calamity but to ask for you help"
103 · Mar 2021
Real
Irisa Mar 2021
Reality is not the villain
But it is what we always blame
Become real is sure hard
As dream is smooth and easy
That's why the real one last longer
Than the fleeting fantasy
81 · Jan 2021
Facing the unexpected...
Irisa Jan 2021
It is okay if different road appear

Don't be afraid of another path ahead

With the last strength you hold

Seek your future unfold
78 · Feb 2021
Still not late
Irisa Feb 2021
It feels like the world is turning
A little too fast
Holding on to what I get
To make this moment last
77 · Jun 2021
Limit
Irisa Jun 2021
Matured
Like how ripped fruits is more likely
To be picked
Society's idealism is the maturity in an individual
It has been a standard that we must reach
And is even more favoured if we exceed
However, sometimes, when we push ourselves
Beyond the line
We fall as parts that can not be mend
We pass the line that meant to be our end
76 · Jan 2021
Inside the mind...
Irisa Jan 2021
There is tomorrow in today
And past in tonight
74 · Dec 2021
Here and nowhere else
Irisa Dec 2021
Step on the hard ground
Be where you're bound
Where else would you be living
And what's more can you do
Other than in this world where your life is given
And here is where your life is taken back too
74 · Apr 2023
Note #07
Irisa Apr 2023
O happiness
where else do you know it reside?
It is there in the past of your present
And could it be the last
74 · Jan 2021
Taste
Irisa Jan 2021
It is bitter
So bitter, life is
Yet we ought to
swallow it
74 · Feb 2021
Optimistic
Irisa Feb 2021
Why do people matter
more about failure
when success is a part of
future as well?
73 · Mar 2021
It stains
Irisa Mar 2021
Whatever you had done
What you left
There's prints
It becomes your past
That you bear all along your life
71 · Feb 2021
Run On
Irisa Feb 2021
She ask, " How does it feels to run for a living?"
"Well... It is a breathless feeling"
Then, his explanation continue...
"When you run, you don't actually care about things behind...
The only thing that matter is what's right in front of you...
Normally, it would be the finishing line
But today, it is you."
She thought his world is all fine
Yet those words he utters give her the clue
The worlds of these two start to align
69 · Jan 2021
You should...
Irisa Jan 2021
Love the shine, love the rain
Fond the well, fond the pain
Adore your life and everything you gain
Keep memories, let your strength maintain
Step into tomorrow and strive again, surely good you will attain
69 · Jan 2021
The hot coal
Irisa Jan 2021
Burning like an ember
Though I'm not a fire
Glowing with my little gentle light

Living as an ember
Keep you a bit warmer
Even if it is not much

Only as an ember light
Couldn't make a brighter night
At least in the gloom
You could see I gleam
68 · Apr 2021
Starting new journey
Irisa Apr 2021
You got to take your crown off now
Will face a life where you don't know how
You can no longer hold throne
Will set off to the land that is unknown
67 · Feb 2021
Complicated
Irisa Feb 2021
There is power to turn the table
But what will give you greater sorrow
when it is not allowed, but  you are capable
Or you are unable, yet they allow
67 · Feb 2021
Disheartened
Irisa Feb 2021
Still need to pick up this heart
Though it is covered with pain
Stick it back if it falls apart
For tomorrow, I ought to live again
66 · Nov 2022
Him
Irisa Nov 2022
Him
Him...
that put sorrow in his eyes
Make it sparkle a bit like glass marble
Heavy eye lids, and wet lashes
His pupils turn deep black
And I was immersed inside
I felt as if we are
At the end of rain where sun slowly
peaking over grey clouds
Those last tiny sprinkles
Refract a faint colourful arch
Our breaths are still misty
Yet we are gradually warmed
65 · Jan 2021
Me
Irisa Jan 2021
Me
A cry.. In cold and hazy light
About to be devoured by darkness and despair
Although the sky already pouring, her eye can go no longer bearing
Conscious that wasted on reality calculation
Exhausted, when there's the possibility of it was beyond salvation
Silence.... Deep one
Numb, dumb.... This foolish girl is still here, trapped
Thinking of how desperate I want world to favor me, with fact that world is only Dunya that is really long but ain't eternity
It's hard and just getting harder
Am I get used of running away? No good
It's not like that will lead me to a good escape....
65 · Apr 2021
Towards light
Irisa Apr 2021
Look at the ray of sun
It seems like a route, golden one
64 · Feb 2021
Somebody
Irisa Feb 2021
Wishing for somebody who can accept me at my worst
Know I am not perfect but I hope you see worth
64 · May 2021
Disappeared
Irisa May 2021
Even though I see you
I feel far apart
I tried to reach you
But all I grasp is a piece of my broken heart
Is that really you
Or just my hope is too high?
Are you gone...
Or never there in front of my eyes?

Sacrifice
Irisa May 2021
A decision I made
But it is not solely mine
And the future awaits
for that route I trudge
Then, it is only the matter of time
From that base, what could it becomes?
63 · Jan 2021
Dear friend
Irisa Jan 2021
What lies within a friendship
Is only bond and connection

How it started is an incident
Whereby how it ended is a mystery

The feelings throughout it are natural
Its days are usual

Its memories are mutual
Its long-last is miracle

With whom, are given
Might be I am a decision that you don't regret
Or you are a devotion that I truly appreciate

You, my mirth and misery
I live in your life just as you live in mine
Irisa Jan 2021
It is raining tonight
The view seems blurr but it still bright
How does moonlight piercing
Though the wet mist of cold clouds
62 · Apr 2021
Bad News
Irisa Apr 2021
Though I pushed it away
Though I deny
It's true what they say
Then, I can only cry
61 · Jan 2021
Pondering... You
Irisa Jan 2021
As a loner I stay
And alone I stray
From the crowd I walk away
As I lost at the end of day
I find myself gazing upon
the line of the ocean and the sky
'Limit' is what I see but not I know
'Dream', I look for you high and low
Could I find you when night falls
Would you be hidden in the stars
If I give you my all
May I go to where you are
61 · Feb 2021
Distinct
Irisa Feb 2021
Bravery
For that he has nothing to fear
Courage
That though he is afraid, he still choose to fulfil the responsibility he bear
59 · Feb 2021
Drama
Irisa Feb 2021
My eyes don't dream
This self wouldn't want
Should I let you know that
For me to desire you
I need to split the world apart
and make you reside only in my heart
However,
that moment I know I have fallen in love
but to be with you, it's likely a dream that turns into a curse
58 · Apr 2023
Earthly creature
Irisa Apr 2023
Age and year
Are passing through me
Changing my phases of life
And blend me into reality
Still sometimes, it'd get me isolated
From the road I walk
From the noises around
From the busyness of town
Sometimes I gaze upon the far azure color
An earthly creature
Wondering on the divine
Isn't here I born?
Why did this heart long for the sky?
58 · Jan 2021
Losing my dear
Irisa Jan 2021
Sky is clear
Then twilight is here
Stars are falling

The things I cared
Also the things I scared
All reflected in my tear
58 · Sep 2021
Into the night
Irisa Sep 2021
Behold the golden cracks of the dusk clouds
As the sun's falling below the horizon line
And the dark paint of night brushes across the sky
Its layer gets deeper
Until everything turns into a pure blankness
Ought to seek for the moon and stars
All of those that beam
Cause this entity of pitch black wideness
Is beyond my capability to handle
That my eyes alone could not hold its far
