Tentang kopi pekat
yang baru mengantar ku pulang
dengan mata setengah terpejam

Lalu,
dirimu yang mulai hilang
diantara inginku yang terlalu dipenuhi angan
serta kalimat-kalimat basi
yang datang pelan dan ringan

Dan jarak,
Jarak menjelma menjadi tubuh yang menggantikan
diriku di lenganmu
gadis bermata terang
yang bersandar malas di dadamu
lillium May 2022
Setiap hari, aku mengintip dirimu dari kaki-kaki langit
Melihat parasmu, yang melumat kewarasanku
Dan akhirnya samudra akan memecah 'kita' menjadi kepingan 'aku' dan 'kamu'

lembut mengecup
kasar mengucap
lillium Sep 2019
on days that tasted like warm wine from the 80’s as the sun basked through my lover eyes that looks like a pool of honey. we sway our body to the slow rhythm of songs we never know the name or who sings it, our bare feet touch the cold marble floor, but his touch are warm and soft like rose petal that spent too much days in the sun. My lover was a nervous shaking box tied in blue ribbon, as he slowly open his lips for mine. My heart was a shattered glass on cold September wind, as I slowly pull him to my reach.
I don’t know
everything has been so dull lately

glasses raised high upon your dream
that clashes and clink between nightmares and pretty things

you’re afraid of the noises that they make
so you shut the door, and leave them in the hallway
birds chirping and voice echoing your head

choirs singing songs you don’t admire anymore
rhythm that fades as you steady your step

‘this is what you have to do’
you knitted your fingers as they tangled your hair
very cautious as you held someone else’s hand

once more you tell yourself
‘this is what I have to do’
I have to let go of my perched
that bleeds cosmos when it’s midnight
and the mess of outlining colour when the day meets the end

I have to let go of my old self
and the ones I desperately wished to come back
I have to let go of my worry
and self consciousness when it comes to a hopeless story

I have to let him go.

ibu
istirahatlah untuk sejenak
pendar hangatmu masih istimewa
“selamat malam” mu masih ku simpan untuk malam malam yang tidak bisa ku jinak-kan
jangan khawatir ibu
istirahatlah untuk sejenak
temui aku saat kau muda kembali
dan kerut senyum mu pudar abadi
untuk mbah ti, yang paling spesial dari semua purnama yang pernah ku temui terimakasih telah merawat ayah mbah, aku berharap bisa menemuimu nanti

she will never blend in with the crowds
they plant golden thorns on her as a crown
a sign of mending hearts and broken trust
she will never blend in, don't ask her twice.
