“Kau terhenti. Tergagu kau bertanya. Mungkin pada diri sendiri, mungkin kepadaku. “Siapa… kamu?” Namaku Bumi, ketika langitmu perlu wadah untuk menangis. Namaku Bulan, saat kau terlelap, kujaga duniamu dalam gelap. Namaku Telaga, kan kubasuh lusuh di sekujur tubuhmu itu. “Untuk apa?” Untuk partikel udara yang kau hirup dengan cuma-cuma. Untuk desau angin yang bisiknya kau halau dengan daun pintu. Untuk kepul terakhir secangkir kopi yang kau hirup sebelum mendingin. Kau kembali berjalan. Aku kembali diam. Kita tak lagi berbincang. Aku tetap menjadi bumi, bulan, dan telagamu. Kau masih menghirup udara, menghalau angin, dan menyeduh kopi. Kita masih melakukan hal yang sama, masih di tempat yang terpisah. Dan tak pernah kau pertanyakan lagi keberadaanku. Sebab bagimu aku selalu ada.”

“Only with her - PART I Dealing with estranged feelings and the heart’s missing heart beats, Feels like a world that its horizon never meets, It maybe what one experiences in the moment of continuous disbelief, Because without her the mind finds no solace and the heart fails to play the symphonies of relief, As the estrangement grows and the feeling deepens in those prolonged spells of darkness, The night grows over the mind eclipsing its every thought with a slight crassness, Where it feels abandoned by the heart, because it seems to beat only for those estranged feelings, And ah the herculean effort for the mind to nurture the heart’s darling seedlings, From where the heart grows reasons to keep throbbing, and every flexing of muscle seems to be a harbinger of new suffrage, And it somehow always convinces the mind not to let her feelings be cast into scrappage, The heart, the poor beating heart, suffers from this expensive essentialism, To sustain her estranged feelings in its love chambers and in the mind’s thoughts, despite their widening chasm, But the heart loves her unconditionally, and the mind too finally gives in to the heart’s will voluntarily, And now the heart beats for her softly as the mind once again begins to think of her so lovingly, Now both the mind and the heart deal with a different reality, That of establishing her memories, her feelings as the principal deity, But who shall hold her entirely? Because the heart loves her deeply and now the mind too loves her no less, And in their strife; I, who owns them both, has to deal with a new kind of stress, And I only care less, because in their desire to love her forever, the heart will beat endlessly and the mind will think of her ceaselessly, While I collate the extract of their feelings about her, and I live everyday in her thoughts fearlessly, And the mystery grows deeper, that who loves who, they love her, I love her too, and they know, But without them I cannot love her, and without me they cannot exist, this is a reality we all know, However, the desire to love someone so beautiful has made them my foe, and my willingness to keep living for her, Has encouraged them to exploit my weakness, that to always live loving her, As long as the heart beats, the mind doesn't mind, and as long as my mind only her thoughts creates, I too do not mind, Living in a body, where my own heart only beats for her, my mind only thinks about her, while I am busy living for her with feelings well defined, Continued in part II........”

“Duhai Pemilik waktu dari arusMu usiaku terlahir dan mengalir pada muara mautMu aku berakhir dan menyerah'' Engkaulah dermaga tempat ikrar perjalananku melunasi batas rantau pulang kala jiwa tersesat di pintu dunia Engkaulah samudera tempat senjaku membenamkan usia melarungkan maut yang membadai di pantai jiwa Tuhan.... jagalah hati dan jiwa ini seperti telah Engkau jaga planet-planet yang beredar pada tiap galaksi menurut keteraturannya biar tiada berbenturan akhiratku dengan dunia sebelum akhir masa nyaris menyelesaikan lahat sebelum aku dan waktu menyeduh pamit dari secangkir hayat di perahu sepi kuamini gelombang maghfirahMu Di kedalaman sujudku kuselami putihnya do'a menghanyutkan dosa yang mnghitami muara ruhku di rimba raka'atku, ada rindu yang merimbun sebagai Kamu Engkau geriap hujan di kemarau tubuhku akulah kegersangan angin yang memanjati tebing-tebing grimisMu Tuhan... di hujan ampunan tak henti kuburu gemuruhMu kupaku telinga di pintuMu moga kudengar Kau mengetuk bertamu ke bilik sepi sunyiku”
