Aku dan Cinta

Aku adalah pencinta yang tak kenal lelah
karena setiap lekuk tubuhmu
laksana setetes air dari oase
yang sirnakan dahaga si pengembara

Aku adalah pencinta yang egois
karena aku tak mau membagi
sumber mata air mu
kepada orang-orang lain

Aku adalah pencinta yang cengeng
karena aku kan selalu mendamba
tetesan air itu abadi
tak 'kan kering walau kemarau menerpa

Remember

Here I am
With you and the night clouds
The summer chill running past
Leaving us attached
To the caresses of yester eve
Caresses of stars shining afar
Appearing to be by my side
But senses say "Today is but yesterday."
For the warmth of your breath
No longer the soul mate of love
Only the dimming acquaintance
Of nostalgia's foolish longing

Silent Goodbye

I wished there were more

Never had enough

Of your soul within

This wreck of a heart

I still see your face

More and more each time

I fall asleep into dreams

Yes in my dreams

But like a setting sun

A goodbye was all I had

Held it in my hands

Didn’t want to let go

Now I am hollow

Because yesterday was done

Along with your cries and smiles

Left with only a dimming glimmer

Because I opened my hands

To let it fly away

Clouds

Come together
Never hold back
See the flowers sway
To the breeze of words

Hold the sweet caress
Of the sun’s warm smile
That gently draws you nearer
To the sincere sky-like blue

Let the stillness be
A premonition of descent
Bridging your songs onto
The longing earth that is I

Clouds
Hear my request
Let her whispers in
Drench them to my senses
Only you now may take the journey
Across dividing seas
And lands separated by time

Away

Never before
A song playing
Melodiously presenting
The cries of its lyrics
Supposedly a helping hand
In discarding this shroud
Of thoughts lost in love

Never before
I walked away from it
Turning my back towards
The words that would bathe me
In blissful melancholy
And promises of
Moments that shine
Like the coming days

Away
I am gone
Away
I am away
Far from wishes
Of selfish senses
