Hening – sebuah puisi

Hening adalah ibunda
Pemilik kasih dengan kekuatan tak terkalahkan
Hening adalah kekasih
Penyejuk hati dengan kemesraan tanpa nafsu
Hening adalah sahabat
Pelipur lara dengan kesabaran tanpa batas

Hening adalah jiwa yang terhimpit
Menyeruak ruang, mengalahkan sesak
Hening adalah semangat yang tertekan
Menjangkau langit, meraih kemenangan
Hening adalah doa
Mengukir harapan, merangkul bahagia

Hening adalah jiwaku yang bebas

Damai – sebuah puisi

Damai tertera di langit biru
Menyapa bumi yang riuh rendah
Menenangkan semua makhluk yang gelisah
Jiwaku mengharu-biru menggapainya

Damai mengheningkan kegaduhan
Ia mengisi batin yang hampa
Memberi kesejukan bagi semua yang gersang
Ia mengajarku untuk bahagia dengan caranya.

Damai membuatku ramah pada diri sendiri
Merendah atas kebanggaan diri
Berdamai dengan kepedihan
Ia menemaniku menghitung setiap berkat

Bahagia – sebuah puisi

Bahagia membentang di semesta
Bergulung bersama gelombang gairah
Menyelinap disela-sela kerikil kehidupan
Berteriak lantang mengusir kepahitan
Suatu ketabahan yang menihilkan benci dan dendam

Bahagia tersaji hangat dan nikmat
Di cangkir kopiku, di mangkok rawonku, di pincuk pecelku
Ia merambat di nadi, mengisi sela-sela sendi
Memompa hasrat ketulusan ke jantung
dan menebarkan kearifan dalam ucap dan sikap

Bahagia ada di keseharian,
bebas dan tidak berprasangka, sederhana dan tidak gentar

Bahagia adalah hening dan damai yang kurangkai dalam jiwa

Grandson – A poem

Leave a comment

toby-5

Tiny little baby darling, my handsome Tobias

So small, so precious, so adorable

A wonderful blessing, a treasure from God

You are love, warmth, and special charm

 toby-2

Since the minute of your presence in the family

You add sweet colors into my life, more and more every day

Along with the new enthusiasms that were so encouraging

You are my inspiration to enjoy life better, you are my great little one

 Toby 3.jpg   Toby 6.jpg

Another amazing journey has begun

I let a little boy stealing my heart, and he gives me a wondrous call ‘granny’

Your little hands, a perfect tenderness as I touch, I love you more than much

You are my sweetheart, my joy, my dearest little boss

Someday – A Poem

Leave a comment

20161201_123105.jpg

Someday, do not need to look for me

Maybe I was busy playing chase with my grandchildren

Maybe I was cheerfully struggling to make delicious pasta for my beloved ones

Or maybe I was having chit chat with friends at a cozy coffee shop

 

Someday, do not need to hassle trying to come up to me

Perhaps I was in very good mood to complete my writings in a tranquil shelter

Perhaps I was in a vigorously whoop-de-doo in one of world big cities

Or instead, perhaps I was enjoying my solitude doing nothing

 

On that days, any those unkind please stay away from me, or never even know me

I want to greet the friendly world and let all the kindness fulfilling every crevice and corner of my life

I want to be in my heartfelt happiness only with my other-half-soul, my truly encouraging children and grandchildren, and my true friends.

I want to enjoy my blessings to the fullest and let my heart and soul be still in gratitude for my blessed life.

 

I truly wish that ‘someday’ will be there with God’s abundant love and blessings

Godsend – a poem

You were like a meadow with blue sky overshadowing

Beautifully outspread, inviting heart to release the weariness

A tranquil field to soothe the uneasy feelings

With the never-ending serenade about sincerity,

     patience, caring and understanding

You are the joys, a godsend for me

 

You were you, and I was I, we were two before our time

I didn’t know what love felt like, until the moment we walked side by side

The very next moment I knew that you are everywhere, in every second of my days

And there’ve been some new feelings that I would never find words for

Deep inside, my heart was so mild, as the day I called you mine

 

You’ve been always simple, in attitude and thoughts

Nature gives you a wonderfulness as a reliable person

And I thank God for having let me and our darlings to be a part of you

Hand in hand we live our life, in love and gratitude

And I promise to love you, to no end…

Bliss – a poem

Leave a comment

IMG_20151107_112942_HDR

Late this evening as we walked hand in hand

Going along way, sensing the rain stills

In silence we were sharing our blissfulness

While looking at people who pass by

Were they feeling their happiness too?

 

At the crossroad, a sweet lady graciously greeted us

We love her smile as it brought our lovely memories of Mama

Nature was flowing the sincerities through her kindness

And the warmth of love is embracing our souls

Did we make the lonely moon jealous?

 

Evening was turning into night, hand in hand we were still

As love is getting stronger, it is maturing us, as well

Such a perfect sweetness we do experience

If blessings were the most beautiful thing we may perceive

Then, why should we wearily seeking for the other merriments?

 

*Just a never ending gratitude from our hearts

Night – a poem

Leave a comment

IMG_20151029_065552

Night  was a harbourage

   that offers the cold wind blowings

   To soothe the fatigued soul and body

   To tranquilize all the restlessness

   To assuage the indignations

Night was a widespread prairie

   that unfolds  its spaciousness

   Calling the lovers to lay down side by side

   Swapping the stories of love

   and asking the moon perfecting their cheerfulness

Night was about a beautiful solitude

   Befriended words, revealing the joys from within the soul

   Embracing sweethearts in prayers and hopes

   Looking at the memories of the beloved ones

   And expressing gratitude to the Lord for  the wondrous nights

Loneliness – a poem

Leave a comment

c7cb7f73811471fa8a96df46d833435d

A twig falls, a leaf falls

Side by side, in silence

The quietude creates an interval

The night is like conspiring

 

Solitude is lovely

When love is awarding colours to the night

When the heart’s song is tempting the gloomy moon

And the silence is changing its manner

 

Inners are now whispering to each other

of all the never-ending stories

The longing, the joy, the restlessness, the excitement

Side by side, still in silence, but nothing about the loneliness

Friends – a poem

Leave a comment

A friend

There are many things; reasons and events, we found during our own journey

People, individuals, relatives and beloved family have touched our paths

Ebb and flow, ups and downs are taking part in shaping our characters

 

We used to meet most probably because of the same reason and purpose

We were sitting in the same classroom, listening the same lessons,

laughing at the same jokes, feeling worry on our exams, for years

 

Then, we had to apart, as we were following our own conscience

We pursued our dreams, sharpened our skills, and set up our lives

We build and nurture our families, and keep directing our hearts to the beautiful future

 

Now, we could get together again, with our mature minds and clear hearts

We are supporting and encouraging each other, in our sincerity of friendship

We are happy for having good friends, for good friends create happiness

Beth – two years in loving memory

Stories about the memories would never end

There were you and me and those we loved

We laughed, we cried, we fought, we had fun

We were proud of each other, we encouraged each other

 

Latter, that day, the very sad one, came over very suddenly

Created a pause between the stories

On that very moment, you were quiet in your deep sleep and I stunned

None of us made any story, you were just silent, I was in my painful sorrow

 

Soon after that, the stories are being continued

Still there are you and me and those we loved

I keep telling you anything, every day stories, my gladness, my cheerlessness

And you keep in silence, yet, I know you are always listening all the stories

 

My beloved sister, I truly believe that you are smiling now

To comprehend every single story that you listen from my heart

Two years has passed by, you are and will always be missed so very much

My mind remembers you, my spirit speaks to you, my heart loves you, eternally

October Nine – a poem

Leave a comment

C360_2015-10-08-22-27-57-408  IMG-20150913-WA0007

On this very day, twenty seven years back

The Lord has forwarded His compassionate commands to us

We were being united, and should always be

We were blessed, and will always be

We were given the ability to be together, and have to remain do

 

October nine, twenty seven years back

We attached our souls, hearts and minds to build our blissfulness

As we were walking down the aisle, we assembled our faith for never being apart

As we were kneeling before The Lord, we believed that He sets our life steps

As we were taking a bow in gratitude, we truly grasped that He will always here for us

 

Today, October nine, two thousand fifteen

Here we are, keep falling in love and living in love

Growing up in age, maturating in attitude, increasing in member

There ever happened misapprehensions, and angers as well

But The Lord’s greatfulness and compassionate have always been there to fix all the erroneously

 

My soul is singing, my heart is rejoicing, my mind is ebullient

Grateful is the source of our happiness
