As you fly in yr dream with jasmine
Or dive through the sea with Ariel
I want to tell you a true story
Not the perfect fairy tale
...

I was looking to you
Over the glass in a big hall
You bow to me and smile
It was then that I know
...

Had you forget the time you knock on my door?
One sweet touch and its wide open
Then we drawn on expected courtesy
I’d serve you the best corner to decorate
...

If I lived one more life
I would melt by the gentle sight of you
I would believe that your love is true
I would erase my fake intention
...

A picture without caption;
Standing lonely on the display
Wishing a warm greet of the passer-by
The time is the only loyal enemy
...

I try to say this as clear as the sky
Plain as a tea break at noon
It’s not outrageous thing anyway
Just a simple note of truth
...

I was just indecent kid
Trying to grab a handful lesson
Taught to hold on good deeds
Longing to look for nod of approval
...

“Have you seen a falling star? ”
A stranger asked me eagerly
I shrugged on reply
I know not star could be fall
...

I live at one of those Grey Clouds
Not really know that I am lifeless

I heard people talking about rainbow,
...

I was trained to thrilled my destiny and deal with you
Not like many figures who has cursed or blessed
You never be my friend nor stay against me
...

I sat there one rainy morning
Make a fuss about the stubborn figure
Little girl with shaggy hair who rule the world
Messing her dishes with many arguments
...

Is it a crime?
When love find its way home
Far away from what’s written in the name card
Yet it is the perfect place to dwell
...

Aku berteguh, mengharapkan ini jalan akhirmu
Hingga tak perlu rasa sakit menahun yang hampir karat
Membelengguku dalam ketidakberdayaan semu
Keinginanku berlari darimu hampir terkubur
...

Why do I bother?
When I can’t see your faint smile on the screen
When I can’t spare your ridiculous faith in green
When I can’t share your favorite sun set beam
...

(Dedicated to Ahmad Shiddiqi)

Drop as the rain
Tickle as the sense
...

(Surely dedicated to Rbk team @ Hojeon)

Scattered around dump shadow
With every wish attached
...

I might be pretend as a gorgeous insect on earth
Wearing many pair of silky socks to trap my prey
I hope I can ease the pain of my own poison
Or even leave a beauty scar of my pointing nail
...

One day
You called it love
You hold it dear
Another day
...

If you asked me
How much I wanted you
Let you choose
Between this two mask
...

...
Yes I am a poet
I can't explain what rainbow is
But I can draw it with letters
...
