So long, my friends
Oka Dec 1
How was your room?
A pillow thrown to the door
Whisps of Tea brushing my nose
A promise to someday visit the shore
Late nights watching the movies you chose
Ping-Pong matches, no one keeping score
Elevator gossip about men you found gross

How was your room?
Bone white walls and metal desks
Naked beds and missing pillows
Paper on the door, boxes and checks
flipped the switch to a jarring yellow
Eyes looked down, scratches to the neck
A wide drawn smile never felt so hollow
My neighbors are leaving back home

No use
Oka Sep 22
What could ever be,
What would ever be,
Whatever it may be,
It doesn't matter to me!

There is no debate
Fantasizing is hard to hate
But the more that I indulge,
my sanity further engulfs,
What's happiness?
now it's desperation manifest

You are all I want you to be,
Let the what ifs just be,
We have our present to forever be
whatever we ever want to be!

What Could Ever Be?
Oka Sep 22
What could have been of us
if they were out of the picture
would your cheeks rest in the clusps
of my palms, would you rupture
a vein below my dry bottom lips?

These dry hands grasp for any sense,
my head wishes it was ever more dense,
this weary heart rushes aimless,
but even then, yearning is just so effortless

What could have been of us
if the weight of your words was gold
if I were just a little bit more bold,
prudent, even. Never my tongue hold,
would I know that reciprocate was an answer?

The Cosmos Is You
Oka Mar 2021
It's scary how life can change
For now, I witnessed the sky fall
As I float in those galactic eyes
Anchor me down will you?
To the core of your gravity
May I land gracefully in your earthly embrace to kiss those rosey cheeks?
Mar 2021 · 501
Dream On
Oka Mar 2021
Dream on!
Cause legends were fools who never ceased to stop
and nobodies were sages who hesitated to take a step
Let's say it's bardic inspiration
Mar 2021 · 861
Self-hate
Oka Mar 2021
What am I to her?
I am emotionally defective
and physically secondhand.
You deserve luxury and excess
not thrifted vintage.
Your worth is immaterial
Mar 2021 · 703
Lonely
Oka Mar 2021
I get lonely, I forget my worth
I get lonely, I pretend it could be worse
I get lonely, I burn me to keep you warm
I get lonely, I hate that you are truly happy
Mar 2021 · 743
Restless
Oka Mar 2021
Promise me just tonight
You will hold me ever so tight
It's for the best, I can't second guess
compared to leaving me restless
I thought I would never post again but here we are
Oka Nov 2020
Would you like us to burn in
the summer heat,
blossom like the tulips in spring?
Or would you like us to be as clear
as the winter's ice,
fall like the leaves in autumn?

My Sleep Routine
Oka Nov 2020
Turn on the night lamp
and slither in the bed
scroll through the apps
and let your lethargy extend
Don't worry about an alarm to tap
whether it's day or noon, you are eternally condemned
Just a rough draft
Oct 2020 · 189
Life
Oka Oct 2020
Would you like me
to live in agony
over the thought of
never meeting you,
or a life full of regret
because I lost you?
Oct 2020 · 309
Would you?
Oka Oct 2020
What am I?
A walking collection
of slowly fading memories
It is certain that I would let
all the stories that made me
slip by and run far far away
and for that I hope that you
would do me a favor :
Would you please remember me ?
Oct 2020 · 218
When I like a song
Oka Oct 2020
This hypnotizing melody
made me a dancing zombie
Because when I was filled with agony
You made depression sound so catchy
Jul 2020 · 183
Form
Oka Jul 2020
Here is an offer,
a request to be a lover,
make my love prose longer,
add structure till it's form differ,
once a poem to a novel full of laughter.
Jun 2020 · 156
Back when
Oka Jun 2020
Take me back to a time, rewind
To an age, a moment
Where I would be scared
of ghost stories
And hopeful of the world
Jun 2020 · 230
Love poem
Oka Jun 2020
Gazing up to the starry sky
It's all beauty I can not deny
But it's not up where my thoughts fly
It has always been you, but I'm too shy
Jun 2020 · 149
Let's Leave
Oka Jun 2020
Lonely, lonely soul
Where should we go?
Life is done, a little dull
nothing but a burden to throw
Suicide is not the answer. However, that I question.
Jun 2020 · 304
Distance
Oka Jun 2020
Our lips were
5 centimeters apart
but between our hearts
was the galaxy
May 2020 · 165
Self hate
Oka May 2020
In this mad, mad world
All we seek is composure
But no matter how old
Self hate is alcohol,
You're either drunk or sober
May 2020 · 565
Jatah sakit
Oka May 2020
Tiada salah membiarkan raga terluka
semakin dalam jarum jam menusuk Memang, tiada obat untuk semua derita
Tak salah menerima pilu dalam khusyuk
May 2020 · 698
Alien
Oka May 2020
Came to life as an alien,
And my skin palette is broader
try and hold me down while I'm breaking the border
Trumping over these walls, call me a dreamer
May 2020 · 159
Guilt
Oka May 2020
It is regrettable to not be a fond memory
But aches more when you contributed to tragedy
scoring scars on the soul and bruises on the body
Digging pits and holes deep inside the memory
Yes, time heals all wounds and forgiveness may wash guilt
But to know you can hurt always makes you feel like a *******
May 2020 · 494
I got bars
Oka May 2020
I'm up your mind flocking, like a bird
Menancing, dropping disses like a **** when you look up boy you better be concerned
Compared to your rhymes, it would be the flyest **** you ever heard
Did I say I like hip-hop?
May 2020 · 117
Don't wake me up
Oka May 2020
Is this love?
When everything is beautiful,
When I can't sense the passage of time,
And where everything is so dreamlike
That I beg you to never wake me up
May 2020 · 225
It's not fine
Oka May 2020
I can't stop thinking of our last moment
You were still the sweetest saying those harsh words
"Please, not yet..."
The words I repeated desperately
Even today, my lips can only tremble
And I will never be fine
What's a good break-up?
May 2020 · 185
Full Moon
Oka May 2020
I will remember you
I will meet you again
I will draw you in my dreams every night
You and I, under the blue night sky
I promised you love
I will give you a moonlight in the darkest nights
I want to shine the world with this light
My Full moon
Inspired by Dreamcatcher's song Full Moon

My Friend
Oka May 2020
All she has is the hollow shadow of an ex-lover
And all that bring her joy are cigarettes and retro city pop records
May 2020 · 278
Zombie
Oka May 2020
I became a zombie,
A mindless being
Drifting through life aimlessly
wanting to change something
Not capable of doing anything
And ended up with no one by my side
May 2020 · 516
Karantina
Oka May 2020
Sekian lama tak berjumpa
Duniaku berhenti, hampa
Seakan diriku dikarantina
May 2020 · 149
Text me
Oka May 2020
I can write you
endless poems
About all the reasons
I fell for you yet
You can not
even text me back
May 2020 · 223
Happy Ending
Oka May 2020
Run away, with me
And the poltergeists and ghouls
We can wander through the darkness
And play by our own rules

Run away, with me
To a cavern shaped like home
Where we'll build our own forever
And never dance alone

-Marceline The Vampire Queen
I love adventure time alot
May 2020 · 373
I can do better than that
Oka May 2020
Don't have to mope about you,
I got prettier lips to kiss
No need to keep all the pictures I drew
All you deserve is a meaner diss
May 2020 · 216
Vintage
Oka May 2020
You and I are vintage
Unfit for a modern setting
And at best a distant memory
May 2020 · 193
I'm sorry
Oka May 2020
Perhaps I'm too lonely
Or too desperate
I hoped this would work
I'm so ashamed, what did I think?
I should have been more attentive
I should have been more caring
I'm sorry I'm not 6 foot tall
I'm sorry I'm not ripped with a six pack
I'm sorry that regret is flying
straight through you like a bullet
May 2020 · 126
Cycle
Oka May 2020
The nights heal what the days have hurt,
the days hurt what the nights have healed
Do you like grand verbose and intricate rhyme schemes in poetry or it's not necessary?
May 2020 · 146
A simple wish
Oka May 2020
I would **** to be
the lover in your
fantasies and wildest dreams
Call me a ******* but a hobby I have is falling with people I can never have
May 2020 · 146
Crash
Oka May 2020
They say love is like flight
and fills your heart with delight
But it is never like that, right?
It's crash landing from a height
and many sleepless nights
May 2020 · 434
Matiku
Oka May 2020
Aku ingin bertemu tuhan
dengan tubuh kering berkafan
Bukan sebagai bangkai terurai
Di rumahku yang kini lautan
May 2020 · 122
Love story
Oka May 2020
Before us, I was a nobody
But now I found myself
As the main character
Of our tragic love story
Apr 2020 · 189
Online classes
Oka Apr 2020
I bathed down my screen rays more than the sun
I'm anxious of forgetting attendance
than not understanding ****
I'm not sick due to covid but I'm sick
of times new roman font size 12
Apr 2020 · 159
State of mind
Oka Apr 2020
Will I ever be fine?
Am I able to feel happy?
Can my confidence radiate and shine?
Or am I always going to feel ******?
My self-hatred, I can not confine
My life's worth? Not even a penny
That's it folks. I'm hating myself more than ever. My poems are ******, my studies are wack, my body is ****, I can't do anything without at least being anxious and panicky.
I am useless at best.
Apr 2020 · 137
Pillow thoughts
Oka Apr 2020
Spent the whole night in my head
Did a little cleaning
Perhaps I should dream instead
and stop trying to figuring out living
but my eyes get lighter with dread
If I ever sleep, please be eternal rest
Apr 2020 · 176
Listen love
Oka Apr 2020
It's like you found a missing piece
But really, you were never incomplete
I do not complete you dear
I remind you that you were whole all along
Apr 2020 · 109
Alone
Oka Apr 2020
Without you
The world is stuck
Like I'm in quarantine
Apr 2020 · 406
Ku rindukan darimu
Oka Apr 2020
Ku merindukan kata-kata hangatmu
yang menembus dinginnya malam
menyelimuti raga yang gugup
Apr 2020 · 126
What I miss
Oka Apr 2020
I miss your comforting words
that breeze through my ears
And dampen my thoughts
Apr 2020 · 513
This college girl I met
Oka Apr 2020
Skinny jeans, black cardi
Iphone 8 with that cracked screen
Eyebags from assignments overdue
Longing for a natural view
Outside the screens and books too
I need to ask "How do you do?"
First time using modern refrences really
Apr 2020 · 179
Stranded
Oka Apr 2020
To see you walk alone
down the alley that we met
It aches my heart that yearns
To fill the void beside you
For those few meters
are oceans I have to sail
Apr 2020 · 230
Sweet dreams
Oka Apr 2020
Rest in my arms
sink in my embrace
so I can dive into your dreams
and soar in your imagination
Apr 2020 · 361
Mimpi
Oka Apr 2020
Tidurlah di sampingku
Dan izinkan aku memasuki mimpi indahmu
Karena ingin kutenggelam di dalamnya
Menghiasi ruang khayalmu selamanya
Lupa kalau aku butuh hiburan dari swakarantina, makanya nulis puisi
