MATAKU MELEMBUT
Usah mudah pasrah
Pada kekosongan dalam dirimu itu
Terlalu cepat.
Biar sahaja ia menghiris
Lebih dalam.
Biar ia memerap jiwamu
Dengan rencah paling agung.
Kerana malam ini hatiku larut
Mataku melembut
Suaraku jadi
Lunak,
Membuatkan Tuhan
Terlalu
Nampak.
— Hafez

KINCIR AIR
Tetaplah di sini, teman.
Tidak usahlah masuk tidur.
Kerana persahabatan kita dibina
oleh mata yang jaga.
Lihatlah roda kincir angin menceduk air,
berputar, menangiskannya keluar.
Kerana itulah roda itu kekal di sini
tidak seperti roda-roda lain bergolek pergi
dalam kontang sungai cuba mencari
erti.
Tetaplah di sini, teman,
getar detik-detik ini, kita
seolah setitis raksa.
— Rumi

ADA BULAN DI DALAMKU
Ada bulan di dalamku,
aku buta tidak dapat melihatnya.
Gendang yang tidak menyentuh jemariku,
berdentang, tidak juga dapat kudengar bunyinya.
Selagi manusia hanya merisaukan mati,
sibuk
meragut materi,
selagi itu hidupnya tidak bererti.
Bunga menguntum kerana mahu memutik buah,
selepas itu, kelopaknya luruh ke tanah.
Ada kesturi di dalam rusa,
ia buta tidak dapat melihatnya –
Sibuk
meragut rumput.
— Kabir

She said:
If you knew my fears,
you would run away too.
But I was hoping
that you would stay.
I have already started
build a home
for you in my heart.
I will not let you escape,
even if my fears want you to.
He said:
Fears are meant to be conquered.
That’s the only you way can heal.
If you let me be the medicine,
your fears will disappear and
I’ll still be there.
Even if the home in your heart stay locked,
I’ll sleep outside until it’s ready.
Because I know once it’s complete,
I’ll be entering a castle full of
courage and bravery.

You were my home
for so long.
Now I realize that humans
cannot
be home.
If homes can leave,
then they're not homes.
Homes stay,
but you walked way.

To the Man Who Once Said He Loved Me
I did not ask you to pretend
to understand me.
I did not ask you to
say that you’ll stay.
I did not ask you
to ask
me
to love
you.
But you did.
And I thought you understood me.
I thought you’d stay,
I thought your love would last.
But my soul became too heavy on you.
You walked away.
You left me wondering
why you choose someone broken
like me
to break even
more.
— Najwa Zebian |

When my soul
aches
to the point of crushing,
the only medicine
I need
are the arms of my
mother.

SCARS
I suppose
I love my scars
because
they have
stayed with me
longer
than most people
have.

The Way Damaged People Love
Damaged people love you like you are a crime scene
before a crime has even been committed.
They keep their running shoes besides their souls every night,
one eye open in case things change whilst they sleep.
They backs are always tense as though waiting
to fight a sudden storm that might engulf them.
Because damage people have already seen hell.
And damaged people understand that every evil demon
that exists down there was once a kind angel before it fell.
— Nikita Gill |

PUISI PEDIH
Pedih yang kau rasa adalah kerana
cengkerang yang memenjara benakmu
sedang meretak.
Seperti juga benih perlu meretak
agar tunasnya dapat bersua matahari
begitulah kau perlu
meretak pedih.
Dan jika kau sedar betapa
ajaibnya aturan hidup ini, kau akan fahami
suka dan duka, takjubnya sama,
Kerana pedih itu engkau yang pilih. Ia
adalah pahit yang kau bancuh di dalam cawan
untuk mengubat sakitmu sendiri.
Maka, percayalah
pada tabib dalam dirimu dan teguklah
pahit penawar yang kaubancuh itu
diam-diam.
Kerana tanganmu,
meski kasar kematu
akan dikendali tangan ghaibNya
tidak terlihatkan.
Dan cawan itu,
meski membakar bibirmu
telah dibasahi air mataNya
tidak terkeringkan.
— Kahlil Gibran

SEPARUH DARI AYATKU
Separuh dari ayatku,
adalah kata-kata tanpa erti, namun
kukatakn jua;
supaya separuh lagi
sampai kepadamu.

DELIMA
Rumahku dalam sebuah delima,
Suatu hari biji benihnya bersuara,
“Kelak nanti aku akan berputik
menjadi pohon yang gagah dan cantik,
angin akan bernyanyi di dahanku,
matahari menari di antara daunku.”
Lalu benih di sebelahnya pula memberitahu,
“Semasa muda, aku juga mengharap seperti itu,
Sekarang aku tahu semuanya palsu.”
Kata biji yang ketiga: “Masa hadapan kita
tidaklah secerah mana.”
Biji benih keempat mencelah: “Alangkah parah,
hidup tanpa masa depan yang cerah.”
Benih kelima: “Kita ini sebenarnya apa,
mahu mempertikai suratanNya?”
Yang keenam: “Apa sahaja yang disuratkan,
kita harus meneruskan.”
Ketujuh: “Meneruskan memang aku mahu,
cuma bagaimana yang tidak kutahu.”
Sudahnya semua bersuara serentak,
Kata-kata bingit bertindihan rawak,
Lalu kupindah ke dalam sebuah lai,
Bijinya hanya beberapa kerat,
dan tidaklah bising sangat.
— Kahlil Gibran

CARI KERJA LAIN
Sekarang
Setelah
Semua kebimbanganmu
Terbukti sebagai
Pekerjaan yang
Tak berbaloi
Kenapa tak
Kau cari sahaja
Kerja lain?

There is another sky
There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!
Emily Dickinson |

ACCEPTANCE
There are things I miss
that I shouldn’t,
and things I don’t
that I should.
Sometimes we want
what we couldn’t,
sometimes we love
who we could.

WHO YOU LOVE
The life you always thought you wanted before you knew any difference. The sea change you didn’t see coming, the sweeping vistas and cotton candy sunsets.
The meeting point between how you imagined it would be and how it has transpired. The willingness to take a chance on something that could take you somewhere new.
The dream you were persuaded to give up on, or the one that you were coaxed into following.
Who you love and who loves you back determines so much in your life.

PERIHAL
Aku akan terus menulis,
hingga kau akan selalu jatuh padaku
Sesederhana itu untuk membuatmu
tetap tinggal dan menetap
Lantas, bagaimana jika aku yang tak bisa
tinggal untuk menetap?
Hm.. nanti saja debatnya
Perihal siapa yang akan tetap dan menetap
perihal siapa yang akan jatuh pada jatuh-jatuh yang lebih dalam,
perihal siapa yang lebih tahan rindu, aku atau kamu
Ya sudah, sini mendekat, biar kudekap.
Sekarang diam dan luruh saja dalam pelukku

Come let us be friends for once.
Let us make life easy on us.
Let us be loved ones and lovers.
The earth shall be left to no one.
