and they wondered what lies beneath this

after all these years

right in this Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue

thousands miles away from home

fate brought them back together

why?

Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it's like, you have been swimming on the ocean for a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there
You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to stay afloat
Then you get tired and you start to drown
And you swim back to land
When you get there you just feel so heavy because you lost touch with gravity for so long
And you collapse on the beach as you try to find balance again
And then your feet finds gravity
You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time
And you just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was
And how good it made you feel 
It was never yours to keep 
And somedays you'll miss it, you know
And you feel yourself moving with the waves and you dream of diving in
Then you realize your feet was meant for land
And not cut out for the ocean
Maybe you're meant to climb trees, or hike hills, or just run really fast
Letting go is not easy
There's nothing quite like swimming in the ocean
Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity
It's natural for you to let go
And find your true purpose in life again
The sea is the sea
And you are just you
I have to let go
But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again

Yuna; i've been recently listening to her songs lately. But this one--, this one is my favorite. Either the poem and the song were authentically just so brilliant or it's just me feeling so relate to them. It's Yuna's thing to read poem before she starts singing. I love her songs, her poems and her deep thoughts. What's not to love?

"人間は矛盾でできている。
寂しい。寂しくない。
恋しい。
恋しくない。
People are full of contradictions.
They’re lonely. And then they’re not.
They’re missed.
And then they’re not."
-- tadayoedo shizumazu, saredo naki mo sezu (saezuru tori wa habatakanai) by Yoneda Kou.

definisi antara dia dan Desember adalah taksa.
kabur. ragu. ambigu.
sama-sama denial. sama-sama ingin jauh. sama-sama mengharap jarak. tapi terjebak.


ada bagian dari Desember yang menggeraknya kembali;
setiap tengah malam,
dengan puisi-puisi yang mengandung adiksi.

ada bagian dari Dia yang selalu menanti kepulangan Desember;
menyambut puisi yang ia kira afeksi,
meski pagi harinya Desember tak terlihat lagi.

Desember,
kamu sudah pergi,
sudah aku lupakan,
sudah aku ikhlaskan;

lantas dalam rangka apa
percikanmu kembali lagi,
menyapa lagi,
mengirim puisi-puisi tengah malam itu lagi,
menghadirkan kupu itu lagi,
menyanyikan lagu itu lagi
menyandungkan kenangan itu lagi?

Desember,
tak lama lagi
kamu akan pergi
...lagi, kan?

...

ada banyak sekali jenis cinta di dunia ini
yang jika kita cinta, bukan lantas harus memiliki.

ada banyak sekali jenis suka, kasih, dan sayang di dunia ini
yang jika memang demikian, tidak harus dibawa pulang

egois sekali, kawan, jika tetap kaulakukan
lihatlah, tiada lagi sunset tanpa matahari
tiada lagi indah langit tanpa purnamajuga taman tanpa mawar merekah
ataupun temaram malam tanpa kunang-kunang

ada banyak sekali jenis cinta di dunia ini
yang jika sungguh cinta, kita akan membiarkannya
seperti apa adanya
hanya menyimpan perasaan itu dalam hati

selalu begitu, hingga akhir nanti.



- Tere Liye

Mungkin di hari aku menikahimu kelak,
aku tau matamu bukan lagi berwarna hitam, abu atau coklat tua.
tapi biru ..
karena biru adalah laut dan laut adalah kamu, maka di dalammu aku larungkan semua perasaan yang jahat.
karena biru adalah laut dan laut adalah kamu, maka di tengahnya aku akan berenang.
Dan jika aku tenggelam, aku mohon untuk jangan pernah diselamatkan.

What do i do when i get bored? I'm stalking.. hahaha. Belakangan suka banget bacain feedsnya ask.fm/zikoji dan naksir berat sama puisi-puisinya! Achingly beautiful banget sih, sampe ga kuat buat ga ngeshare ke orang-orang.

Luna : Kala, kenapa langit senja memerah?
Kala : kamu pernah terluka?
Luna : pernah
Kala : apa warna darahnya?
Luna : merah
Kala : Dulu pagi itu kekasih malam.
Luna : lalu?
Kala : malam berkhianat, jatuh cinta pada eleanor, sang bintang
Luna : lalu?
Kala : pagi balas dendam, bercinta dengan senja
Luna : Lalu apa yang hubungannya dengan langit yang memerah?
Kala : pagi tak pernah benar benar mencintai senja, malam tak pernah meninggalkan eleanor sang bintang, siapa menurutmu yang paling terluka?
Luna : Senja, jadi alat balas dendam yang percuma. 
Kala : kamu tau apa warna darahnya?
Luna dan Kala : Merah

Zaman ini zaman tipu-tipu

Tak bermaksud lancang
namun jika ada satu hal yang dapat kukendaki
aku ingin menghentikan hujan
Kata Gagar, hujan adalah caraNya menyapa insan yang kesepian
Sekali dua kali bersua tak apa
namun kian hari
direnggutnya mentari
mengikis sinarnya tiap pagi
jadikan lukisan biru kelabu
membentang
tak kudapati terangnya
tak pula pelangi yang Ia janjikan

-

Aku rindu!
rindu bermandikan teriknya sinar siang hari
bukan meratapi rintik hujan
yang tak terputus di balik jendela
... dan merasa kesepian
lalu galau, lagi.
Aku rindu mentari!

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

 - Mother Theresa

Things we did.
Memories we left.
Words you said.
Smile you gifted.
Happiness we share.
Sadness we cried.
Time we passed.
Tears i rushed.
Dreams we dreamed.
Prayer we spelled.
Love you presented.
Stars you gleam.
Songs we sang.
Scars you remarked.
Loudness on the silence you made.
The quality times.
The laughter. Happiness. Careness.

and the
love.

I treasured.

Have you ever feel like
that you're feeling some butterflies
fly in your tummy
when you look a cute guy's face
that haunting you all nights

 Have you ever feel like
that someone finally fills your heart for the first time
and you seem heard his voice
on his message.

Have you ever feel like
that looking your crush face
all the time
seems like your new hobby

Have you ever feel like
loving a guy into the smallest particles on him
His eyes, his smile, his nails, his big hands
his strong arms, gasps between his teeth,
his hair
you have no idea why did he come to you
or when did he finally stole your heart
and why did you love him
You just loved him.


Have you ever feel like
that you're the loneliest person
around a lot of people

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
that you're the forgotten peson
around a lot of people

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
that God tests you
because days seems become harder

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
that you're being so envy to everyone
that smarter than you
prettier, smarter
and humbler than you
and you just hated yourself

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
you wished that you weren't born to be you,
yourself,
you just wanted to be somebody else

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
that you're imitating someone's act
talking like the way they talk
walking like the way they walk
dressing like the way they dress


and someday
you just have no idea who you are anymore that time

because i have.

Have you ever feel like
you've become so depressed
loneliness was your new friend
you were just being so melancholy-thingy
you were just loving sad songs
you cursed yourself

because i have.

 Have you ever feel like
you're just become so frustrated
tears rushing down your face
in the middle of the night
nobody knows.

 because i have.

Life knocked you down.
 And you were just thinking
can i?
can i face it?
 You just didn't know what to do.
Or who you can trust
or to who you can release those feelings.
It's all blurry.

You just didn't know
how could you become so melancholy
so sad
and your eyes excrete tears
when a guy broke your heart
you never felt that feelings
you felt so stupid.
 foolish.

there will be no end
or when these feelings are solved
because they will come to you
and the only thing you can do is just
live it
face it
just so you know
this is how adolescents life like.

Kita semua, orang di dunia maya, penuh kebohongan.
Akui sajalah, kadang semua ini hanya topeng.
Akui sajalah, kalau kadang beberapa diantaranya hanyalah sebuah drama.
Akui sajalah, kau nggak menjadi dirimu sendiri.
Akui sajalah, kalau berbagai kalimat bijak yang kau tulis hanyalah omong kosong, tak bermakna. Tak diterapkan.
Akui sajalah, kalau kita semua memang berpura-pura.
Akui sajalah, kalau kadang apa yang kita tulis hanyalah semata-mata ingin terlihat classy.
Akui sajalah, kalau kita semua berbohong.
Lepas topengmu. Hentikan drama ini.
Kita hidup di dunia nyata.
