CHESS

Playing chess in the afternoon 

Till the appearance of the moon

Till I see the dim light of front house 

Till I see the silhouette of my future spouse

Move back and forward 

The Queen attacks with no coward

Not forget with the horses

Protecting you, my love, from hunting corpses

Sharpen the brain, crack the crunch

Learn tactics and strategies

Jump, slide, stab and punch

And gain a victory from enemies

Let's play chess

Let's beat emptiness

O, King of the heart

I dedicate my fights

Only to you

DILEMA

Sebaris kata datang padaku
Bahwa dirimu telah hadir walau masih kaku

Kemudian luka di masa lalu
Kembali menjalar bertambah biru

Akankah kunikmati sayatan itu?
Atau kutendang saja rasa pedih yang menggerogoti sisa sisa tawaku

Sungguh
Aku hanya mau hidup

UNTIL YOU COME HOME

Back to the nature.

Back to the sky.

I sing a song for my future.

With no doubt and shy.

Strumming my emptines out with these fingers.

Calling your name louder than thunders.

The chords and melodies have replaced your absence.

I'm back to my guitar, back to my patience.

Singing sweet songs about you and me. 

About  fight and love,  about cry and smiley

Lord of the sky, I'm looking at you

Bring him back, my dearest guru

Singing sweet songs alone

Until you come home

GOOD LUCK

I guess it's the time for a bird to leave it's cage and fly to the horizon.
The wings will spread wider and longer flapping under the warmth of morning light.

I guess it's the time for a bird to seek for happiness.
I wave my hand down here in loneliness.

Don't hesitate to soar yourself up
Your little goodbye was pretty enough

I admit I have nothing to complete your life

The bird wants freedom
No more cage  and life of boredom

Then cut  that chain off your feet
Let yourself go and choose your own seat

Just forget how we first met.
Your future is more important, I bet

I'll try not to cry  I won't  shed a tear
I will pray I always remember you near

Though it's difficult to hide my sad look
As I read again our sweet diary book

GONE

Once upon a time under a lazy moon
A poem was completed soon

The poem was about a heart
Which had been cut into two parts
One was dumb while the other smart
Bad and good could be seen from the start

You gave me many words to declare
This heart got so numb I couldn't bear
Say this
Say that
O, la la
Could you please not to swear?

I need  some peace
In your lullaby kiss

 I got none
 I'm gone

By balebila

FADING AWAY

Slowly but sure the light is fading
Slowly but sure I see no more shadows of presenting

Everyone's gone
Im typing alone

To the wall of echoing room I get my words back
I guess it's the sign of farewell act

No more stars at night
No more sparkles in the light
No more smile, joke and fight

I hope that everything is allright.

MEMORY OF SOCIAL-1 2018

On a piece of  paper

There are lines and circles of you and me 

Then,  as I look deeper

Those smiles come flashing the air with great extacy

What will you do after that uniform does not longer wrap your body, your mind, and your soul?

I recognize those happy faces

Used to be innocent buds seeking out true traces

Some found obstacles

Some found miracles

Cest la vie , dear angels

What will you do after you're no longer sitting here with me?

Will the leaves whisper the same rhythm?

Whatever you do

God always be with you

By balebila

FAITH

If the sun has no longer intention to warm up young leaves that wave gently welcoming day of new..

Then why are the birds still singing and hoping they would find happiness from every single drop of morning dew

There's a miracle
Hidden beneath the farthest path along down to the nearest step

And I'm counting myself
That I'll be right there to kneel before you and kiss you and breathe you

Coz I have faith

I believe the sun still shines
And heals the scars

I believe you're still mine
No matter how far you are

By balebila

RIP VALENTINE

Love is not  shaken by hands

Love is not hidden between  fingers

Love is not celebrated on February 14

Love is not like what you've seen

I love you from Sunday to Saturday

Love is not blended in the chocolate

Love is not mixed in the sweets

Love is not just laid on bed

Love is not like what people have said

I love you from Sunday to Saturday

Love is heart

Love is care

Love is life

Love is love

Love never ends

I love you from Sunday to Saturday

By Balebila

LIFE IS RACE

Im jumping high
Im a single fighter
No need to sigh
No need to whimper

Let alone those unwanted obstacles
I keep moving to get the miracles

Get lost,  you the evil thoughts
I'll punch you till you crawl like sloths

I'll move faster
You'll get crazier

Life is  race
With no doubt I will face
To gain the victory
Of the true humanity

By Balebila

NICE TO SEE YOU

I finally got the picture

The picture of trust

The picture of dreams that can't be dreamed in sleepless nights

I finally got the answer

The answer of unspoken truth

The answer of curious riddles I couldn't handle with empty hands,

 my dear.

Let me take a deep look,

so I can see beautiful sun rays

 in the horizon

Shining on my way

Warming up my day

Let me breathe the breeze

Let the morning dew clean my view

I finally found the love

The love of mysterious life

The love of everlasting flowers  scattering along the path

Nice to see you

MALIN KUNDANG ( A Folktale from West Sumatera - Indonesia )

Once upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and her son. The boy was called Malin Kundang. They didn’t earn much as fishing was their only source of income. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some money. However, as they were only fisherman’s helper, they still lived in poverty. 

“Mother, what if I sail overseas?” asked Malin Kundang one day to his mother. Her mother didn’t agree but Malin Kundang had made up his mind. “Mother, if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful person,” urged Malin kundang. His mother wiped her tears, “If you really want to go, I can’t stop you. I could only pray to God for you to gain success in life,” said his mother wisely. “But, promise me, you’ll come home.”

In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go. Three days ago, he met one of the successful ship’s crew. Malin was offered to join him. “Take a good care of yourself, son,” said Malin Kundang’s mother as she gave him some food supplies. “Yes, Mother,” Malin Kundang said. “You too have to take a good care of yourself. I’ll keep in touch with you,” he continued before kissing his mother’s hand. Before Malin stepped onto the ship, Malin’s mother hugged him tight as if she didn’t want to let him go.

It had been three months since Malin Kundang left his mother. As his mother had predicted before, he hadn’t contacted her yet. Every morning, she stood on the pier. She wished to see the ship that brought Malin kundang home. Every day and night, she prayed to the God for her son’s safety. There was so much prayer that had been said due to her deep love for Malin Kundang. Even though it’s been a year she had not heard any news from Malin Kundang, she kept waiting and praying for him.

WE ARE YOUNG

Who said the world has turned old?

No, it is still young and fresh.

Who said the sun has got tired to warm us?

No, we see it shines brightly everyday

Who said the wind has stopped blowing and given us nothing but dirty air?

No,  it is still blowing smoothly on our faces and hair.

Hello, dear mommy and daddy...

We are young..

We will grow up and be success like you

We will lead the world and take you all out of the blue.

Pray for us, mommy daddy

Give us more strength and power 

Give us love as high as magic tower

Coz we want to be good and brave people

Who protect you and our home from any crumbles

We have colours to paint

We have life to gain

DIARY BOOK

With a pen of trust

I recount the stories of mine

From the saddest rusts

To the happiest minds

You,

On paper of you I confess my secrets

With circle, square,  and triangle

Painted with red, blue and purple

About stressful fights

About lonely nights

my rivals, my pals, my lullabies

I write more

You know me more

Whether you have sympathy

Hope it's not temporarily

 ‎What kind of a person I am,

 ‎My diary book knows

 ‎Coz I have no lies to show

You are my diary book

You are all my look

A DREAM

Last night as I was in deep sleep

A vision suddenly came

A figure of you with such attempting look

I couldn't run I was totally hooked

I was speechless

I was breathless

I tried to control my weakness

Oh, boy...

You've ruined my peaceful night

I woke up and started to complain

I wanna see you again

I WANNA SLEEP WITH YOU

Among the countless sleepless nights

I finally found which star gonna be mine

It is you!

You are like a cup of dark coffee 

Who keeps my mind open wildly

Enjoying the beauty of Lord's creation

In your idleness and motion

I blow you a thousand kisses

Hope you grant my wishes

To be able to sleep with you

To sip the strong coffee of you

FLOWER OF LOVE

As I smelled your scent

The morning breeze started to blend 

With my nervous breath

So sweet and fresh

As fresh as my love for you

And then I hugged you close and kissed you

With a thousand prayers conveyed to the highest guru

So tender and warm

As warm as my heart for you

Flower of love,

I embraced your beauty

I caressed you passionately

I love to smell your scent,

Till life comes to the end

I WANNA GO HOME WITH YOU

Sitting alone on a quiet shore, 

I prayed that someone going to pick me home. 

Then I saw many ships coming from very far oceans. 

They were great ships, luxury things to sail with. 

One of them was yours, 

coz I could hear from its sound which was like songs being sung in my dreams, 

coz I could see from lovely poetic words written neatly over the ship’s body.

The captains then one by one came out the ships and asked me to go home with them.

I saw their bating eyes, teasing smiles, and gentle moves, confirming me they were real.

But I couldn’t see you.

I run to your ship but I saw no one.

I just found your steady steering-wheel, your strong anchors, your colorful glittery flags and your romantic tunes from the files.

I didn’t see you. 

Where are you? why it’s so hard to see you?

Just to have a quick glance at your eyes seems like I have to walk on unending path.

Don't you know that only with you I want to go home? 

That only with you I want to sail the ocean, to reach peaceful land we dreamed of?

Since you didn’t come, I walked back to the shore.

Sitting alone, weeping eyes, wishing to the star… 

Dear Prince, I wanna go home...

with you

MAGIC SUNSET

Magic sunset
Will never forget
The story written between the lines

Being alone in a deserted place
I'm doomed
I'm terrified
I'm cursed
I'm horrified
Magic sunset knows
Magic sunset writes

Then my arms go up..

O, the creator of dazzling skies
Shower me with your blazing rays
Why can't you feel the pain
Why can't you wipe the misery rain
Now my eyes are open..
Too much love has put me in sadness
Prefer be alone and in consciousness

I'm painting my soul
With magic sunset

PATHWAYS

Where will my heart go?

I see diamonds sparkling in the air

As I look into those smiley eyes from smiley faces and smiley traces

I feel the warmth shooting breeze while smelling each of your kisses

Oh my dear far away stars..

Beneath the sky and the horizon

I found cozy places like heaven

Between you and me

Eternally 

On which path will my heart go?

I can't decide

Both rivers streaming me to the same greenland

I guess we will never end
