Empty

Suddenly everything went silent.
So quiet.

Where did all the laughter goes?
Where does all the crying go?

Is it just me or another call from nature?
Is it that time again?

Maybe its the snow,
or maybe its the winter time,
the cold dead silent at night

And I'm looking forward for spring

*a thousand miles away*

BOLEHKAH AKU BERBICARA .. WAHAI LAPANGAN UPACARA???

Menerima puisi ini di bbm pada pagi ini Wed, Aug 17, 2011, by Brahma BOLEHKAH AKU BERBICARA .. WAHAI LAPANGAN UPACARA???
=======================================

Bolehkah aku berbicara
Wahai lapangan upacara

Agustus telah membawa kami kepadamu
Dalam cerita kemerdekaan semu

Apalah artinya tiang bendera
Jika kami masih menderita

Apa itu merah putih
Jika di sana sini masih merintih

Haruskah kami berhormat
Jika masih dipimpin orang-orang jahat

Kami rela berdiri di bawah terik
Tapi kami tidak rela dipimpin orang-orang munafik

Mengapa harus menyanyi lagu kebangsaan
Jika berbangsa tanpa sebuah kebanggaan

Mengapa harus tetap berdiri
Jika berbangsa tanpa jatidiri

Pergilah kau komandan upacara!
Jika hak-hak kami masih diperkosa

Kalian menuntut kami agar berkhidmat
Sementara kalian biarkan para pengkhianat

Bukan sekedar teriakan "Merdeka!"
Akan tetapi korbankan jiwa dan raga!

Di lapangan upacara aku jatuh merebah
Agas selalu ingat mereka yang bersimbah darah

Maafkanku yang telah berkata-kata lancang
Tapi aku tidak ingin kita menjadi bangsa kacang!

Negeri ini dibangun di atas darah dan air mata
Maka janganlah terlena!

Negeri indah ini Tuhan yang lukis
Jangan jadikan negeri pengemis!

Perjuangan belum dan tidak akan pernah selesai!
Karena itu jangan lalai!

Wahai .. lapangan upacara ..
Kutunggu arti "Merdeka" ..

(Brahma, 17-08-2011)

Untuk Indonesia, Jakarta 17 Agustus 2011. Ulang tahun kemerdekaan yang ke 66 tapi belum mampu memerdekakan dirinya sendiri dari kemelut didalam diri pribadi. twitter : arieantara
"ada yang lain?"

Father n son

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way
And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way And I know that I have to go away I know I have to go

Miss you

December 7th, 2010

It's almost midnight and here I am siting here by myself trying to contemplate with everything that's been happening to me all day.

I knew I haven't said this enough to you but I promise I'll do it from time to time, especially every time you're around.

I love you

With every single breath that I take, with every drop of blood inside me and with every cell of DNA in my body.

I still remember just like last night when that little arms hugging me at night, when that long hair just swirl across my face every time you sleep and that little feet kick the blanket away.

I know things haven't been the same lately, I hope everything turn out to be the best for both of us, especially you.

There's a lot of things I wanted to say or do to you but my trembling hands and my running tears keep getting in the way ... But let me start by saying this,

I miss you

To all my struggling friends

By R.E.M

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come falling around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

I look to you

By Whitney Houston As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you
And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

My levee's have broken, my walls have come
Crumbling down on me
The rain is falling, defeat is calling
I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

I look to you
I look to you

Regards,
Gede Arie S. Antara

Stay gold

By Stevie Wonder Seize upon that moment long ago One breath away and there you will be So young and carefree Again you will see That place in time...so gold Still away into that way back when You thought that all would last forever But like the weather Nothing can ever...and be in time Stay gold But can it be When we can see So vividly A memory And yes you say So must the day Too, fade away And leave a ray of sun So gold Life is but a twinkling of an eye Yet filled with sorrow and compassion though not imagined All things that happen Will age too old Though gold
