O wind
Can you come blowing
Into my hug, caressing
Pass through these cracks of my broken soul
It feels like I am breathing
Despite this misery gradually growing
That this heart could no longer hold

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

Why do we go all out of our way
To please people that doesn't stay

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

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

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
Irisa Dec 2023
All that I cherish
All that I love
They are my reality
Even losing them is also
My reality
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

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?

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

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?

Like another ocean
With another light
Of another star
After another night
Irisa Feb 2021
Wishing for somebody who can accept me at my worst
Know I am not perfect but I hope you see worth
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
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
Irisa Jan 2021
There is nothing wrong in wishing
for something foolish and fleeting
Just that reality has always put us on tight spot
between dreaming and awaking

It is bitter
So bitter, life is
Yet we ought to
swallow it
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
Irisa Dec 2023
No love is definite cause love is infinite
Not worthy of love you say easily
Not knowing the love God bless you with endlessly
With His mercy, His care, His gentleness
You spoke such words when you don't even know how love is
Love is not a thing of possession
It is a smile of a mother to her child
Laughters with your friends
When your mistakes are forgiven
When you're in need of help, someone gives a hand
Love is... The silence people choose instead of getting mad
So the relationship is not shaken by mere anger
Love is... When you do kindness in secret
not for the feast of the eyes
Love is... Not limited to romantic affection
It is even the smallest gesture
With the sincere feeling in their heart
To show you
Or to act to themselves
This is what we are
A family
Friends
Partners
Lovers
Creatures

Look at the ray of sun
It seems like a route, golden one
Irisa Jan 2021
I went facing a mirror
Meeting the image solely of my own
"is this how I am seen by others?"
Staring at this self that I  thought I had known

It started to get interesting
When a lot of myself for me was new
Then you told me our stories and how we had been
So actually this self of mine long had you knew
Better than myself that you even saw me through

I wondered...am I the one who deaf
or is it just me being too loud
I barely notice how is my voice sound
Where could has I abandoned this self
That, now, it has lost that I found
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

— The End —
