click....

that cross next to your name
on that tab

just clicked it

now

that window is no longer open

and i don't know anymore
whether you are there

or
not

not that it doesn't matter
it does

but i guess
it doesn't matter
that it does

lie to me...

people always say
that
honesty is the best thing

well, baby
sometimes I'd rather
have you lie to me

when you close that door
leave a bouquet of flowers by my window
but cut the thorns away

for when I caress it
I want to caress it with tears and bittersweet smile
not blood from my soul

empty those frames of you and I

but I'd rather not know
there are other snapshots in them
already

because you know what,
baby

sometimes I'd really rather have you
lie to me

the fact that you are leaving
is too much information already

wild horses.....

a heart
like a wild horse

tall
shining
beautiful

a heart
like a wild horse

vibrant
strong
spirited

a heart
like a wild horse

trotting
galloping
running with the wind

a heart
like a wild horse

rein it in

so that it takes you
on its strong and shiny back
to exotic faraway places

instead of dragging you along
on wild aimless rides

a heart
like a wild horse

just like mine

and yours.

untukmu

memelukmu
meskipun hanya sesaat
cukup bagiku

saat memejam mata
tetap kulihat kau
dalam gelapnya kepalaku

kukepalkan tangan ini
masih kuraba kau
dalam kosongnya genggamanku

kuhela nafas dalam
selalu kucium aroma khas dirimu
dalam lengangnya lorong waktu

memelukmu
meskipun dalam ingatanku
cukup bagiku

gentleman in training

simple gestures
kindness
and grace

your flat palm
on the small of my back
when the monkeys
freaked me out

your questioning gaze
asking
‘do you need protection’
as those guys were giving me
stare downs

remembering
which side i liked to walk
and made space

switching over
to where
the traffic came from

offering a taste
of food
or unusual drinks

not offering
to carry my bag
nor lead me
up the steep stairs
until i asked you to

after all
you are

a gentleman in training

LOL
