pelangi

sayangku,
darahmu merah
nanahku kuning

sayangku,
hitam bagimu, putih bagiku
putih bagimu, hitam bagiku

sayangku,
santailah sejenak, berbaringlah bersamaku
pejamkan cemburu di kedua coklat matamu
dan biarkan candu manis mimpi bertamu,
sampai lahir aneka pelangi yang beradu

datang dan pergi,
datang dan pergi,
datang dan pergi,

terperangkap di dalam gelap kepala kita sendiri

sayangku,
tak perlu ambil pusing dan tak perlu malu
cepat sekap aku dalam dekapmu
agar api rindu melahap malam-malam sendu

sayangku,

untuk apa ada warna-warna semu?

padahal hidup cukup untuk berpadu madu

hingga kita menjadi abu-abu abu.

amin.

faith

when i am with you,
we stay up all night.

when you're not here,
i can't go to sleep.

be patient where you sit in the dark,
the dawn is coming.

in the blackest of your moments,
wait with no fear.

i know you’re tired but come,
this is the way.

it’s your road and yours alone.

others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.

these pains you feel are messengers,
listen to them.

know that one day,
your pain will become your cure.

the cure for pain is in the pain.

the wound is the place where the light enters you.

what hurts you,
blesses you.

darkness is your candle.

why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?

if all you can do is crawl,
start crawling.

only from the heart can you touch the sky.

you have within you more love than you could ever understand.

do not feel lonely,
the entire universe is inside you.

the beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

amen.

p.s.

words are a pretext.

it is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.
