Frangipani
Oka Apr 2020
You blossomed me to life
Blushed me shades of rose and cerise
Oh dear let me brush my care
but promise me I won't pale
to the crescent moon and
leave me to bloom
This is for a new friend.

Swakarantina
Oka Apr 2020
Perutku meronta
Semangatku hampa
Tak berharta, tak berkerja
Olahmu hanya buka sel-sel penjara
dan menatap kamera penuh gaya
Kalau begini dirimu, persetan saja
Lebih baik aku mati karena korona

Berpisah
Oka Apr 2020
Melihatmu melangkah menjauh
"Aku pamit"
Ku terhembus mabuk
mendekati ruang hampa di sampingmu
Perjalanan beberapa tapak
menjadi hamparan samudra
dan ku tak sanggup berlayar

Knees
Oka Mar 2020
I run for you
to catch your heart
but will you stray further
If I rest my knees
and catch a breath?

Always
Oka Mar 2020
Like writing on sand
I will not tire to remind you
Of your beauty
Cause I'm afraid that
Waves will wash the shore
Mar 2020 · 197
Evening
Oka Mar 2020
Cause I want to reach you
before the moon comes
to tell that I miss you
and see your smile

Apa itu Cinta?
Oka Mar 2020
Hal terindah yang akan kau kesali
Sakit terperih yang akan kau rindui
Tragedi yang akan kau ulangi
Irama merdu yang akan kau benci
Buku suci yang akan kau nistai
Dosa besar yang akan kau tekuni
Logika yang akan kau tinggali
Emosi yang akan kau hamburi
Gak tau lagi
Oka Mar 2020
Though no pictures remain,
Your care is deeply engrained
We might change
But my memories stay the same
I apologize for any form of pain
I realize that there was nothing to gain
From you I learned to not feel shame
When I open up my heart, untamed
Cause love is best explained
Not as place to point and blame
Nor a tight, competitive game
But letting both hearts reign
and set the soul in flames
It's been a while

Rooftop
Oka Feb 2020
To the rooftop we went
Cause you wanted to see the stars
After sunset, no one shone for you
to your grumpy face I said that
I had the galaxy with me
the whole time
**** I'm so basic

A Fragment
Oka Feb 2020
Hey, it's been a while
How's life been?
As of late, my heart's in trial
For never throwing you out the bin
It longs for our past
The beautiful and the fond
Lucky for wisdom to come and pass
That what it misses is long gone
Truth of the matter, it was not you,
A liberated soul that cannot be ceased
but a past fragment of you
that has rested in peace
A person evolves, grows and changes. It's sad to know that sometimes but it's something we can't control. I realized that closure wasn't given because I thought you were the same, however I met a different...no, evolved you. A person that I am yet to know, someone with noticeable differences. The person I was longing for is gone, nothing but a memory in my brain. And what is best to do than to cherish those memories and realize that "they" are gone from this world.

Apa yang dirindu?
Oka Jan 2020
Ku menggigil
menatap rintikan hujan
Payungku terlalu kecil
Untukku dan sedihnya kenangan
Entah kenapa yang kepikiran puisi galau terus, kayak hidup gak pernah terang aja

What it is to miss?
Oka Jan 2020
As I stand shivering
I look up the heavy rain
my umbrella can not fit me
and the memories of you
Hey...sorry been a while for almost 2 months. Life been busy

Sunflower
Oka Nov 2019
You are a messy soul
Wandering through life
What I offer is love
Too much for you to repay
Worry not, as I acknowledge that
Guilt is a toxin to the soul
I hope you can see that
A field of sunflowers
Waits for you everytime
Sunflowers are a symbol of loyalty.

An Open Letter
Oka Nov 2019
My dear,
I have been urging to write this well after our quarrel
it took a while, after my ego and mind had a battle
if you don't mind and have some time to spare
allow me to apologize and admit that I was unfair
I never bothered to wipe your flooding tears
or even to your worries lend my ears
my sympathy and care I held tight
while I let your misery take a bite
at your heart that was weathering already
that you found solace in another's company
I see that you are crowned with blissful joy
with more sincerity than when you were my toy
if it was regret to evoke within, you truly succeed
cause whenever you laugh, my heart bleeds indeed
but I need to face reality, you are now gone
I miss you and that's what I have to live with from now on
Well this took a brighter tone than expected. I intended to crystallize "the death of a loved one" but this is more accessible I guess....
Oka Nov 2019
Like the flowing spring breeze
you will forever slip out
of my grasp
no matter how tight I hold
you will get away with ease
leaving me in wonder
of where you leave

Angin
Oka Nov 2019
Seperti hembusan angin yang berlalu
selamanya kau tak akan
pernah kugenggam
seerat apapun ku bertahan
kau akan berlalu begitu saja
meninggalkan resah kontinu
"ke mana kau akan pergi?"

Indah, Kacau
Oka Nov 2019
Umur berpihak dengan raga
menahan gejolak membara jiwa
umur menggengam hati dan berdoa
"tuhan, jangan kau membuatnya buta
mengejar idealisme, terkekang fatamorgana.
kembalikanlah ia,
ke mana hidup menuruti realita."
umur makin takut melihatnya
mendobrak dinding bata
batasnya dengan dunia
"Tiada guna,
di luar sana
kau hanya akan binasa,
ku hanya memiliki cinta
dan ku tak ingin kau kecewa..."
"Bukan cinta bila tangisan
membanjiri mata,
bukan kasih jika wilayah ditempa
membatasi ruang bermuara
semua perilaku hina padaku tertimpa
ku terima dengan hati leluasa
tanpanya ku tak akan bermetamorfosa
jangan kau berlara-lara
melihat juangku yang remaja
kekacauan ini indah
membuatku merasakan untuk kali pertama
hidup tiada kesempatan kedua."

The city is asleep
and the rain decided to come by
No taxi or bus is gonna pick me up but
home is far away

Take a rest
Oka Sep 2019
While I try to be the best
your expectations mount like Everest
Truly, I can never rest
before I die of all this stress
and no one will hear my distress
Oka Sep 2019
You are the mystery
that lays in every page of my novel
no matter how hard I try to solve
Your simplicity baffles me every single time
Sep 2019 · 208
Angkasanya
Oka Sep 2019
Kaulah kenangan di langit tinggi
Bersinar terang tanpa mengetahui
Ada manusia menatapmu di bumi
menawarkan tangannya bukan memberi
meminta hangatmu walau tak berarti
Hanya doa yang bisa ia ucapkan dalam hati
Mari berjumpa lagi walau hanya sebatas mimpi
Kadang bingung kalau mau bikin puisi translate yang bahasa inggris. Ujung-ujungnya beda banget dari yang dibayangkan wkwk. Terima kasih red velvet telah memberi ilham.

One of these nights
Oka Sep 2019
Our story is a little star
among the vast galaxy
may the stars align for us to meet again
even if it’s just in our dreams
Hi there
Sep 2019 · 893
Kau
Oka Sep 2019
Kau
Ucapanmu membisukan
mengantar banyak tafsir secara simultan
membuat nalarku rentan
dengan sakaunya khayalan
Kepalaku dulu mengambang di tengah awan
dan kini kau meluncurkannya ke bulan
Aku?
Sep 2019 · 631
You
Oka Sep 2019
You
What you say
Makes me mute
you leave me hanging
on the ecstasy of uncertainty
My head was over the clouds
And now you shot me to the moon
Me?
Sep 2019 · 153
Escape
Oka Sep 2019
Run, run and run
away from that misery
Shout out loud and clear
Without a **** to the world
You are broken, a misfit they say
even though they deny the anguish within
Sep 2019 · 200
What it means to be free
Oka Sep 2019
I have never seen true freedom
among the living
Perhaps that is why
the symbol of liberty is a statue
Material shaped to be a lady with a torch? Yup sounds like freedom

Cerita bumi
Oka Aug 2019
Langitku penjajah
Menghalangi hangatnya mentari
tubuhku diinjak, teriakanku dibantah
Air mataku mengalir, ketawanya nyaring
Dimana langitku dijunjung
Disana diriku ditindas
Y’all heard of papua?
Aug 2019 · 827
You reap what you sow
Oka Aug 2019
Where expectations are rooted
disappointments will grow
We either always forget this
Or are too stubborn
I’m a student of an agriculture university what do you expect?

Now never later
Oka Aug 2019
live for now never later
Be happy in the moment
But never cling on it foolishly
cause all it ever does is delay your misery
It’s been a while

Never Ever Fall
Oka May 2019
I want you that looks at me
I want you that waits for me
Please let your care hold me
Let your love blossom again
“Never Ever Fall”
I wish upon our love in autumn

Oka Jan 2019

Meeting you was summer
Clashing waves of emotion,
Bright rays of hope
Knowing you was spring
Blooming love and soft fragrance of care
Loving you was autumn
The leaves of my heart fell by a whisper of your breeze
Missing you is winter
Because while you were in July
My heart is stuck in December
Jan 2019 · 219
Today, tomorrow
Oka Jan 2019
Why should I answer tomorrow today?
My past is haunting me
My future is scaring me
Should I go here or there?
I don't know and no one would care

Topeng
Oka Jan 2019
Melihatmu melukis warna
Merah cerah dan jingga
Mengangkat kedua ujung bibir
Membawa bahagia dengan sihir
Namun kini bukanlah yang lalu
Melihatmu menyobek raga
Merah darah dan infeksi
Menggebuk harapan memfana
Mengenakan topeng yang berseri

Femme.
Oka Dec 2018
I am danger to men
I must cover up
Behave well and then
Pour my guests a cup
I am heaven to men
I must pamper up
Flirt well and then
Be lustful when I ****
I am hindrance to men
I must shut up
Suffer and when
I speak up and fight
There will be me no more after tonight
La vie en femme.

I am not afraid of change
cause if you do
I needn't worry
my memories of you stay the same
hi there..a little gift for you

Promise?
Oka Oct 2018
When time strands us oceans apart
and the sky clouds up our future
my wish for you
is to never forget me
An outburst of romance since I don't actually have someone to send this to. Even though we don't have the time and energy to have romantic relationships, we always wonder what would that be like, right? Or is it just me?
Oct 2018 · 278
Can I be free?
Oka Oct 2018
I'm slow dancing
to non-existent melodies,
loud thoughts that orbit me
never giving reason
to be compact
I'm alive because I can't die
Aug 2018 · 187
Now What?
Oka Aug 2018
We have done something wonderful
for all these months we poured
our blood, sweat and tears
to achieve perfection
to claim honor
to find my purpose
but
after all we have accomplished
why do I feel my soul getting more hollow
why am I back to square one
a place thats curse I have thought to be undone
Aug 2018 · 238
Busy
Oka Aug 2018
24 hours chasing me
too early to seek shade
too late to hide in the shadows
no rest, no pause, always forward
stop
and I will be history
Ok ok ok ok ok

Way back Home
Oka Aug 2018
The further you stray
the wiser you become
an enigma in a labyrinth
you get lost searching for
an answer, a clue, or even a hint
the further you stray
the blurrier the way back home is

Psikologi
Oka Aug 2018
Tertera kah di alam
bahwa hati manusia tenggelam
tak mampu menghirup tenang,
mengambang, hanyut dalam tegang
membusuk takut
menjalani hidup
Halo jiwa yang tersesat

Psychology
Oka Aug 2018
Is it in nature
that my personality has nurtured
to associate every concurring event, place, or person
with worry, anxiety and fear?

Burden
Oka Jul 2018
Will you stay
knowing that I am broken and lonely with you
will you stay
even though you will hear me whine and complain over the same things, the same feelings for god knows how long
will you stay
when I can't even capture the shape of my problems so I remember them in everything
will you stay
and hold on to a burden that does you no good
Jul 2018 · 422
Hide and Seek
Oka Jul 2018
What can a smile do when you are sad?
It hides you from the world
it lies to you and others that you are fine
that the burden you carry is light on your shoulders
while your legs wear out out of sight
It's hard to admit that you are sad
It hurts to admit that you are not fine
but you deserve to feel the truth
and know that the world seeks you
to help you
to accompany you
to love you
May 2018 · 202
Why I quit achieving
Oka May 2018
I run, run and run
chasing what you have set
as insane as it seems, I complied
because I trusted you
and you wanted me to flourish
but tell me please
why the more I flourish
the emptier my growth becomes
Oka May 2018
Here we are again friend
Just as you always predict
sleepless but imaginative
but it's not tonight, dear pen
my eyes are sinking
and my brain is cosmic
flying
                 levels
                               beyond
                                               Infinity
                                                Struck.
                                   falling
                    flailing aimlessly
                                                    Searching for O2

No Regrets
Oka May 2018
I have regrets
so do you...right?
Maybe a slip of tongue
that stabbed trust
A mishap, maybe slight klutziness
causing success to sigh
and leave for the exit
A life empty of regret
is non-humane
so is a life of regret
when choices are standing
opportunities are waving
possibilities waiting for you
and there you are
standing,
observing,
fascinated but scared,
"comfortable"
and chanting to yourself
Maybe it's not worth it
Apr 2018 · 266
I Woke Up Today
Oka Apr 2018
A huge step to mankind
microscopic to mine
heads up in reach of
today's warm rays
eyes shut, hostile towards
the blinding light
a new beginning, progression
towards an ideal vision
an age old quest in search of
means for eternal rest
Feb 2018 · 324
It Was Beautiful
Oka Feb 2018
No matter how colorful
all I see is black and white
no palette or aesthetic
will amuse my dull vision
the soft hums of nature
the noise of a bustling metropolis
are all too mundane. Boring.
The world is not my place,
not my home,
not my reason.
I bid you all farewell,
and gratitude.
For life in a monochrome,
you have tried to paint a spectrum on me.
colors of care, passion...love
It was beautiful
even if my tears wiped all spotless
It was beautiful
even if my sorrow numbed your kindness
It was beautiful
even if my departure was to you an attrocity
Jan 2018 · 228
Let Me Be
Oka Jan 2018
It burdens me
the more I hold on to my innocence
an album of joy and cheer
devoid of concern and stress
Fool, immature, reckless
wild, untamed...destructive
names that would land
on my ears
Fiery gazes blazed upon me
yet, I let me be
