Brisbane as a Garden of my life (2002-part 2)

Suatu Awal

Malam nan gelap pun sebenarnya adalah awal datangnya Sang surya pagi…
Badai hujan bertopan nan seram bisa jadi awal munculnya Sang pelangi…

Hidupku adalah malam kelam yang berteman dengan badai hujan
Ada ketakutan yang mencekam
Ada kesepian yang mendalam
Kapankah kujelang kembali pagi?

Brisbane as a Garden of my life (2002-part 1)

WHEN I’M NOBODY FOR NOBODY


The spirits of spring have come to its path…
As beautiful flowers blooming
The surroundings around are warmth
As the love within those couples smiling

Yet, here I am standing still
At the corner of the street…
Feeling empty and a bit chill
At the corner of the street…

That’s the way it is now…
In the moment when I’M NOBODY FOR NOBODY
That’s the way it is tomorrow…
In the moment when I’M NOBODY FOR NOBODY

I know that it is silly…
Because the world is full of people
I know that it is silly…
Because the crowds only reveal to me as a bunch of couple

I try to smile
Because that’s the only thing I have..
But then tears drop for a while…
And I realize that’s the second thing I have…

……………………………………………SILENCE ALL THE TIME…………………………………………………
…………………..............................................……THEN………………………...........................................
………………..STILL THE SILENCE IN ME……………………………………………………………….
……………………….THAT’S THE REALITY…………………………………………………………………
………………WHEN I’M NOBODY FOR NOBODY………………………………………
…..……………..AT LEAST I’M STILL ME.........................................................
....................UNTIL THE “ME” WILL TURN INTO US”………………………………………………….

Undertneath It All

Underneath my exterior
Underneath my clothes
Underneath my words
A special person grows

I may not be beautiful
My clothes may not be the best
My words may not always be superior
But I am as good as the rest

If you look
Underneath it all
You will know that it’s true
You’ll see the beauty inside
And maybe understand me too..

Need You

I need you…
As a light in my dark
As a rainbow in my rain
As a flower in my garden
‘Coz in you, I found all that I need…

I need you…
As a guide when I’m lost
As a way in confusion
As a friend in my emptiness
‘Coz in you, I found all that I need…

I need you
As everything in my life
‘Coz only with you, I found the peace

To The One with his Guitar...

Sahabatku terkasih…
Telatkah kusadari arti dirimu yang sebenarnya bagiku?
Telatkah jika kumengetuk pintu hatimu?
Raguku memendam rasa..
Bisuku memendam angan…
Apa yang harus kulakukan?
Agar kamu tahu bahwa ternyata cukup satu kebahagiaanku….
Dalam hidupku ada kamu…

Can I ask Some Questions?

Dear someone out there, somewhere, anywhere, I don’t care…
Have you ever felt empty in the fullness?
Have you ever felt lonely in the crowd?
Have you ever felt unloveable in the world full of couples in love?
Have you ever felt all those things which are such a common things for me…?

I have done all I can…
I have tried all my best…
I have gave all I have…
I am tired with this kind of life….!!!

Dear angels in heaven and earth, would you send my whish to God?
Could I have just a love for myself…?
Could I have just a hero for myself…?
Could I have just a light for my future…?
Could I? Could I? Could I?….

Join Me

Join me…
In a place of laughter
Where the music is joyful
And where the sound of happy children rules

Oh, join me…
In a place of fun
Where the sun feels so good
Where people live in peace

Join me…
In a place where people see new things everyday
Where people are not hating each other way
It’s a better world for you and me…

Flower Power

A lot of people said that I’m too romantic
That’s right, I’m a romantic!
Many people think that romance is unreal
I don’t care…coz I believe in flower power

I may be unspecial!!
I can’t do Algebra…
I can’t do Trigonometry…
But I’m proud with my life
Coz I still have a flower power

Maybe no one see my flower power
But I will try to be a flower..
Maybe no one need my flower power
But I will touch their life with my flower power

Are you confuse about what is flower power?
Well…I’m still learning about it
But I believe I have the capacity to find the truth eventually
Girls.., we shouldn’t be a flower just because of our physical appearance beauty!!
We should be a flower because of our kindness and our good personality..!!

A flower power that I believe..
And You should believe it too…

Puisiku tahun 1996

Pangeran Impian

Dulu aku adalah upik yang pemimpi
Dulu aku ingin menjadi seorang putri
Menjadi putri dari negeri mimpi
Seorang putri yang senantiasa menanti
Menanti pangeran sejati menghampiri diri

Kini aku telah berubah
Aku bukan lagi upik yang suka bermain tali
Aku bukanlah upik yang senantiasa menari
Aku memang telah berubah…
Waktu yang telah membuatku menjadi begini
Waktu yang telah mengubur mimpi

Namun disaat hati dirundung sepi
Kau datang menghampiri diri
Kau membuatku tersenyum kembali
Kau mengajarkan sesuatu yang suci
Sesuatu yang bukan berdasarkan teori
Melainkan sesuatu yang berasal dari hati

Wahai engkau pujaan hati
Terimakasih atas yang kau beri
Kau membuat hidupku lebih berarti
Kau membuat diriku teringat kembali
Teringat akan mimpi yang suci
Mimpi masa kecil, yang kini menerpa hati

Sungguh, hatiku tak lagi sangsi
Memang dirimu yang sangat kudamba
Memang dirimu penopang hati
Kumohon janganlah kau melupakan semua
Semua yang telah terjalin disisi hati

Namun ternyata kau ingkar janji…
Kau pergi tinggalkan diri
Kau pergi menyisakan prasasti
Prasasti yang akan senantiasa berada di hati
Di hati suci yang kini telah terluka

Ternyata kau bukan pangeran sejati
Ternyata kau bukan pangeran impian
Oh…pangeran impian dimanakah kau berada?
Aku disini selalu menanti..
