Arco

Four strings have been attached
Tightly tuned on this pretty curve
They are covered by warm snow
Piled up by the river under the bridge

The core of melody doesn't need to be glued on the ground or tied to the anchor
It will find its own foothold and a way to reach the soul
Clouding your mind with all those old memories
By simply caress your heart with a million emotions

It seems like adding extra burden on the shoulder
But it's actually lift the heavy burden that dragged you down all this time
Washed away by mesmerizing strains
Soar from the deepest ravine of atlantis to the sun where Apollo awaits

The rhythm is not always beautiful like this
It used to walk on a street full of sharp gravels
It was faced by obstacle as big as a mountain
But it never look back

That's how it moves forward, putting one put in front of the other
Stroking up and down the hills, tirelessly
Even when it's really desperate sometimes, or most of the times
It keeps crawling on hands and knees

Because it's not easy to see the other side of shore
Just like it's not easy to turn the scratch of demon into song of an angel
But when you finally make the impossible possible
The voice of Arco, It's worth your while

Paralyzed

Struck by lightning wouldn't even close to this sensation
Of dragged down to the bottom of the red lake, surrounded by cold flesh
A warrior surges, a warrior falls, a warrior trembles
But no warrior runs, because there is no place to hide

A mermaid in the middle of a wishful fountain gather hopes from yearned souls
Desperate to walk off the stage
But the show keeps on going and the curtain can't be closed
Life must go on

It's such a shame that life is not a slut
It is not cheap either
Air might be free but it needs an enormous sum of struggle just to breathe
The music keeps on playing but there is no guarantee for this tiny heartbeat

Chaos everywhere
Screaming comes from every direction
Smokes and fire as far as the eye can see
But the body stand still

Suddenly the ground has a strong electromagnetic power
And the air smothering so tight
All terrors inside burst out until no more left
Leaving a paralyzed vessel of blankness

A New Beginning

Rays of twilight rain on me
Pouring such a warm feeling that melts the ice inside
Veil of the night wraps me under the stars
Caressing composedly with its fragile touch

Stuck on a deserted island with a chest full of treasure
No food, no roof, no companion
Just gold and diamonds
Wait for this cycle to end so a new beginning can be started

Go to another land where there is no limitation to possibility except for infinity
Arrive at Neverland and make it a wonderland
Close the eyes and dream
Of me, Of you, Of us

Psycho's Feeling

Today I have no question

Even just for a simple what

My mind is a pure white sheet

Don't let the blood spilled on me

You do that, you'll see the other side of me

I presume you won't like it very much

Be smart and take my advice

Leave me alone, let me be

I like this solitude

Where I can't see, I can't hear, I can't feel

I'm made for loneliness, not suitable for a living soul

Sad, maybe but at least not pathetic and hopeless

You are the one who dragged me out of here

Torch me with eternal flame when i said i don't want a light

I said i like my world

You told me my world is a lie

So, here i am

Patheticly hopeless, surrounded by people

Pale and stay still

Wait, there you are, one of them. on the ground

Disappear from the world of lie

Just to find the land of pain

The worst thing I can tell

this pain the best i can have

The Assasination of An Innocent Soul (Everyday's 419)

Every single one of us was born as a pure soul

You and me included

The soul within us, indeed, is innocent

Unfortunately we were born into such chaotic world

As time went away we become something else

A monster, consummed by greed and lust

You sweetheart… is an empty shell, so let me in

Let me fill the empty place in your heart and your mind

Don’t be afraid.

I know you were taught to be afraid of me

But in fact, those people who taught you so evidently act so friendly toward me

Come on little one, come and join me in this playfull game

Yes like that, right little one

Those eyes change  at least, not so bright anymore

Dim, dim, dim and die

In this messy ground, at this worst age

How come you can hold onto your innocence

No you can’t my sweetheart

Your innocent soul has been murdered

I wrapped it with porcupine's skin and buried it under the deepest ocean along with mine

Where they can lie forever, rest in misery for eternity

I am the perpetrator, yes… I am

Who am I you ask?

I’ve known for so many names

Some of them you’re familiar with

Satan, Demon, Evil, Child of the night

Pick one sweetheart

You can also consider myself as a monster lurking out of the darkness

Trying to convince you to join me

Yeah…Me, you, together

Oh, what’s with the expression?

Don’t be so mean sweetheart

Don’t be mad at me, it’s God’s order

To get you on the bad side

God makes me see with my own eyes

The best part and the worst part of you

I witnessed it for a long time because I came along from the time this world was created

Since it’s still a green and blue and peaceful

Until it turns out to be the rotten one

I can’t fool myself

I’ve envied you since the first I saw you and I hate you for make me who I am

So I want to make you suffer just like me

But, you know what the funny thing is

 I’m also falling in love with you

But I have to kill the thing that makes me love you

Goodbye my enemy, my love

The soul of an innocence lttle one

 I will cherish the memory of you

An old poet once said...

Thyshelf away art present still with me

For thou not farther than my thought canst move

And I am still with them, and they with thee

Or if they sleep

Thy picture in my sight awakes my heart to heart’s and eyes delight.

Pencarian

Orang bilang kebahagiaan ada dalam kebersamaan

Maka mereka membentuk gerombolan

Katanya kehangatan ada dalam pelukan orang terkasih

Maka mereka berlomba mencari kekasih

Aku punya gerombolan

Aku punya kekasih

Tapi tak ada yang mereka bilang

Entah orang yang salah atau eksistensiku yang merupakan anomali

Kutanya pada pujangga

Katanya jatuh cintalah, rasakan keberadaannya di udara

Kutanya pada ulama

Katanya mendekatlah pada Tuhan, Dia Maha pemberi segalanya

Kutanya pada ilmuwan

Katanya makanlah cokelat, itu akan menstimulasi efek euforia di otak

Sebelum lupa atau memutuskan semuanya hanya sekedar reaksi kimia

Kutanyai seseorang yang paling hakiki

Diriku, apakah yang membahagiakan jiwamu?

Diriku, apakah yang menghangatkan hatimu?

Tak jua ada sahutan

Kupikul buntalanku menuju antah berantah

Mengembara untuk sebuah pencarian

Hari Yang Biasa

Daun jendela menjeblak terbuka

Cahaya keemasan merasuk ke relung sukma

Kaki melangkah mantap menyongsong Sang mentari

Lembaran dibalik ke halaman selanjutnya

Gedebuk suara gendang

Si monyet berjoget sambil menggoyang kaleng kosong dan ekor panjangnya

Lalu-lalang orang hanya menoleh sesaat lalu kembali berjalan menerawang

Kasihan si monyet ketika pulang nanti

Di sudut lain kota lain pula cerita

Tikus tanah sedang berpesta pora

Lahar keju mengalir dari kendi yang tertohok giginya

Susu yang dikubur oleh si pengubur yang keburu mati

Tok Tok Tok bunyi apa gerangan?

Suara derik sepatu kuda atau ketukan di pintu

Desahan angin atau bisikan seorang wanita, manakah yang lebih lembut?

Tanyakan pada yang pernah mendengar keduanya

Kerja keras yang tak berbuah hasil

Keberuntungan yang membungkus kemalangan

Kebingungan yang ambigu

Satu lagi hari yang biasa, matikan lampunya!
