How I Remember You

A chorus of sparrows in summer
Is how I remember you
The fire of maples in autumn
Is how I remember you
The Silence of snowfall in winter
Is how I remember you

Now Love Has No End

As a kid my nose would be
Inside a book of poetry
I memorized the movies where
Into each other's eyes the lovers stare
Zhivago with his Lara in their cottage
In the snow

Ten below with only love to keep the warm
I soon discovered with alarm
Real life could not compete
With fiction or widescreen love, on the street
No face was shining there to meet me
In soft focus... guess my heart
Blew the part

Seemed like for me stormy weather
Would always hide the moon
I flew the wind like a feather
Into the wrong monsoon
Until the light of your smile
Guided me to this island

I lost my way
But now I'll never be lost again
I'm not ashamed to say
I know for sure now love have no end
It sounds so commonplace
That I'm reluctant to point my pen
When I behold your face
I know for sure now love has no end

I used to be amorously so cynical but now
I know for sure love has no end
The game of hearts was long false starts
until you taught me how
To know for sure love has no end
Til I found you I never knew the joy of two
but now
I know fore sure love has no end
It's always better late than never,
for forever now
I know for sure love has no end.

Aduh, semut banakna..

Tadi malam ketika kami sedang sahur, ada semut yang mengerumuni kue si Adit, sulung saya. Dan dia berkomentar,"Duh, semut banyaknya".
Mendengar kata-katanya, saya tertawa. Dia bertanya,"kenapa ibu tertawa? Kan nggak ada yang lucu,bu"

Anakku, ternyata 16 tahun usiamu, tidak ada yang berubah. Kebiasaan-kebiasaanmu, celoteh-celotehmu, masih sama ketika kamu berumur 1 tahun. Ibu masih ingat, kamu baru bisa bicara. Banyak sekali yang kamu ingin bisa obrolkan, tapi Ibu sering tidak mengerti bahasa planetmu.

Ketika minta minum=mamang
ketika melihat semut=semut banaknya, ternyata artinya semut banyaknya
iding=dingin
diisil-isil=diiris-iris
cimung=mangkuk
tentang cimung ini, tetangga-tetangga kita di Ampah, Barito Selatan menjulukimu dengan Adit cimung.

Ah, ternyata sudah 16 tahun kau menemani kami Nak..

About Philosophy

Philosophy is about observing the happenings. It's not about decision. It will explain the unexplainable in this world, such as, my friend said: Love is giving. Giving will only have value when there is someone received it.

Rain and tears are the same
