Perkara Pandemik

Dengan sekali ketuk, ia buat bumi yang sibuk jadi terpuruk
Menggerogoti pelan paru kita semua
Semesta mengutuk si mimpi buruk
Padahal awalnya ibu pertiwi menanggapi tertawa

Perkara pandemik memang pelik
Orang orang dibuat panik
Ada yang menderma
Ada yang serakah memangsa harta
Ada lagi jadi yang dimangsa
Tersingkap banyak rupa manusia

Persenjataan melawan pandemik kian langka
Yang serakah semangat sekali menimbun harta

Dari mereka ada yang sok membela agama
Mengutuk mereka yang berniat baik
Katanya, jangan mengukung hak datang ke tempat ibadah hanya karena pandemik
Percayakan saja pada takdir sang Khalik

Turut mewarnai pula kabar dusta yang merebak cepat dari mulut ke mulut
Buat yang kalut  kian tersulut
Dusta dan fakta nyaris serupa
Entah tanggung jawab siapa

Sementara pandemik makin merebak
Ada saja yang tetap keras kepala
Hura-hura untuk melenyapkan hasratnya saja
Bersikukuh menantang perang bermodal nekat pada pasukan tak kasat mata

Wahai tentara pemulih
Jiwamu mulia bersih 
Mari angkat topi untuk mereka pasukan putih
Meregang nyawa untuk selamatkan yang ringkih

Ini duka bumi kita
Mari sembuhkan bersama
Ambil peran sesuai porsinya
Jangan kita menutup mata

Kurang-kurang nafsu ambisi
Tambah-tambah empati di hati

Perkara pandemik 
Semoga bumi acap membaik

-tertanda aku yang semangat dengan social distancing movement
Mari dirumah saja dan jaga kesehatan

Norwegian Wood

The place we used to hangout Pic of me was taken by him     For a certain kind of person, love begins from something tiny or silly. From something like that or it doesn’t begin at all.  ―  Haruki Murakami,  Norwegian Wood I agree with that statement. As of now, I'm feeling it too, starting to love someone since the first time he told me that Norwegian Wood is his favorite Beatles song. The more I discover about him, the more my affection grows. His manner of speaking, his thoughts, the way he treats me, his talents, style, hair, laughter, soft snores, voice, dreams, taste in music, choice of books, idols, art—every facet of him captivates my heart. Have you ever felt such a strong liking for someone that your chest hurts? That's how I feel about him. I don't know how to describe it, but my feelings are undeniable. But, on the one hand, there's a fear lingering within. Some say beauty fades quickly, and I worry about the possibility of him slipping away one ...

Two Weeks Since We Break: From Vinka’s Pov

Oct 9 I’m beginning to believe that I'm crazy, unworthy of love, and scary. Like an unwanted fetus, what should I expect? I don't belong in this world. Thank you for the lessons. You made me feel alive for at least 6 and a half years, you added colors to my life, you were my oxygen. Sometimes I still cry. I'm sorry. Oct 10 Still, everything reminds me of you, in both my busy hours and free time. All my friends convince me that it's all your fault. But all I want is to bring you back. Will you come back? Oct 11 My friend told me that I'm different now, my eyes look sad and miserable. I feel you getting closer to her, and here I am, getting sadder. My friends tell me I should focus on myself and be happy. But all I want to do is reach you, be in your arms. Oct 12 This is the girl you left and called crazy. She's still trying to figure out what happened and gather all her confidence. By the way, I went to the places we used to go. Everything reminds me of you. I ca...

Dear Cewek Kikuk dan Pemalu

Thanks a million for snatching somebody else's boyfriend and sliding past the 'just friends' zone. You're a maestro in wrecking relationships, and after the break-up, you manage to cozy up even closer to him. You know, your casual gift of a selfie pic and playlist to someone else's boyfriend was such a nice touch. You should be commended for shattering my dreams and my heart, really, bravo! How does it feel now, basking in the satisfaction of seeing me torn, pleading, while he pushes me away and rushes to your defense? And for staying so quiet, trying to snatch his attention. So somebody's boyfriend can take you out and become your personal videographer. How sweet! Congratulations, Desss ! You've successfully bagged my great lost love, my whole universe, and my future. He was everything to me. How's it feel to be the belle of the ball, the boyfriend-stealer? Oh, the shy girl with sly tricks. Yet, he keeps defending you like a loyal knight and shoving me ...
