~ Dream?~

It was a week ago
I was sleeping in my bed
wife on my side
I was dreaming...

I was sitting in a room full of people
attending a funeral
everyone was praying
it was my granfather's brother..

I know it was him,
eventhough i know he was dead several years ago
but i recognized him
i know it was him.

he was dressed in all white
and people began to carry him to the graveyard
I helped them carry him too
but suddenly...
he cough
and he looked at me
and he smiled

What a dream i wonder?
what a dream?...

my wife said
its only a dream
you dont know him very well when he was alive
but he smiled at you

my father said
its a sign my boy
something BIG is coming at you
and the BIG thing will change you

yet it was just a dream
but i can sense that
something BIG
will find me soon

Poet for my beloved daughter..
she's only 14 months old but act like a teenager

~ Anakku ~

Anakku
bagai aku
mata besar dan kelopak kecil
rambut jagung dan hidung mungil

Anakku
bagai aku
pandai berdiri dan berlari
gemar makan tak pernah berhenti

satu pintaku
agar ia selalu bahagia
agar ia selalu bergembira
agar ia selalu terjaga

dan jangan pernah lupa
anakku dan pampersnya

Second post today...

~Satu yang Terlupakan~

Terbangun ku dan terloncat pagi itu
Matahari sudah tinggi
Ayam sudah berenti berkokok
Dan jalan sudah muali penuh sesak

Kuberlari membawa handuk
Bersihkan badan, dan sekalian keramas
Hilang semua kotoran
Hilang semua kantuk

Kuambil baju dari jemuran
Masih basah, masih lusuh
Kuambil celana dari lemari
Licin, namun bukan baru

Sisir dan parfum ikut beterbangan
Dasi dan ikat pinggang ikut bergoyang
Sepatu dan tas tak lupa ku bawa
Jam tangan.. ah tidak mungkin ketinggalan

…

dengan percaya diri kumasuki
tangga dan pintu kelangkahi
hingga sampai didepanmu
dan kau tersipu… kau berkata..
“Pak, ada upil di pipi kiri..”

Puisi pendek tentang tradisi di tanah kami...
sekedar berbagi.

~ Silahturahmi ~

"Berapa sebungkus?"
"Dua ribu Bu..."
"Mahal amat? nggak kurang?"
"Nggak dimahalin bu, seger kok, mau berapa?"
"Lima bungkus aja...banyakin mawarnya yah"

Dan bertukarlah selembar sepuluh ribuan
Dengan lima bungkus bunga segar...
Dalam seminggu sebelum puasa
dan seminggu setelah lebaran

dari tahun ke tahun
dari dulu sampai sekarang
Hanya inilah silahturahmi
dengan segenap pendahulu kami

I wrote this poem years ago
hope you enjoy it.

~ Sleep ~
sleep, sleep
my dear sleep
for the night is deep
and the day has gone

sleep, sleep
the sweetest sleep
eyes are closed
your soul renew

sleep, sleep
my dear sleep
tomorrow we play
new game what may

sleep, sleep
the sweetest sleep
tears will be smiles
your sweetest smile i always knew
