Selayang Pandang (Inter View)…

let see, Whats your name?
how old are you…
why do you interesting to join us..?
tell us about the positive thing about yourself?
how about your negative side?

sembuh dari kambuh

Lunglai lemah hati berkerut,
menurut syahwat dorongan perut.
Getah yang lengket masih melekat,
belum di serup ma pankreas.

Aduh gusti, kumaha abdi
Bade janten naon ieu diri
Tilelep palid, eungap ku iri
Gemerlap itu silau sekali

Hantaran sang Mikail datang
Tanpa bosan dia datang
sepuluh hari lalu dia datang
tadi pagi pun, juga datang

Mana tah lagi siksa yang kan ku keluhkan
Apa tah lagi bosan yang akan kesahkan
Bilamana datang sang Mikail.

Peluh… peluh…
jangan dulu kau gaduh
di pawon seueur keneh suluh

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man’s hearts
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man’s hearts

Hhhhhhhhhh…..

Surat diawal tahun

Assalamualaikum…

Selamat pagi 2008 !

Temans,
Kadang saya merasa hari esok itu adalah ancaman, penuh ketidak pastian. Segala jenis bencana
mengintai kita yang hidup di zona “ring of fire”. Instabilitas ekonomi terjadi dalam dan luar negeri, revolusi
bisa meletus kapan saja.

Tapi temans,
Ada yang mengatakan, bahwa esok hari adalah harapan. Segala hal baik bisa juga terjadi. Bunga bermekaran, burung berkicauan, dua sejoli jatuh hati, senyuman para bayi. Thats good enough for me !

Apapun yang akan terjadi, saya ingin menyampaikan terimakasih pada temans semua. Yang telah
menjadi bagian dari hidup saya. Saya bangga hidup segenerasi dengan anda.

Salam,
Ramdhan

Hari tak selalu baik

Berangkat dari rumah jam 7.30 WIB, perasaan sudah agak nggak enak.
sampai stasion Bogor, beli tiket di peron, tanya lintasan kereta nomor berapa yg berangkat ke sipir penjaga. Ternyata kereta tinggal satu yg akan berangkat. Naik ke gerbong, Masya Alloh udah penuh… dan ketika Tas di pundak dipindah ke depan.. Astagfirulloh, sletingnya udah kebuka. Dompet hilang!
Untung masih ada sisa uang di saku celana. Hhhhh, mudah-mudahan uang yg di dompet lebih bisa dimanfaatkan oleh sang copet.
Masih dongkol di hati, eh, salah turun di stasion Universitas Pancasila, harusnya turun di tanjung Barat. Uang di saku cuman pas buat pulang ke bogor… terpaksa jalan kaki ke Arkadia.
Alhamdulillah, sampai juga…

Bilik di tepi bukit

Inilah bilik kami, sekedar tempat berteduh sebentar.
Di terik siang, gelap dan dingin malam.
Tempat bersenda tawa bersama, setelah lelah mengejar sedikit materi.
Bersama membagi mimpi, nasihat menasihati.
Saling belajar untuk mendidik dan menjadi terdidik.

Tuhan, terima kasih atas rezeki yang Kau beri.
Sebidang tanah, sebangun rumah.
Jadikanlah tiap sudutnya selalu indah dan berkah.

Our home is our paradise

Puisi Raffles

OH THOU WHOM NEER MY CONSTANT HEART

ONE MOMENT HATH FORGOT

THO’ FATE SEVERE HATH BID US PART

YET STIL - FORGET ME NOT

Mighty Love

Drop a penny throw a stone

I guess its time to let love

And throw your anesthetic piece of heart

You built for long

Smack my face and you will see

This piece will never be free

Oh please somebody

Connect me back into reality

This mighty love

Strictly from the bottom

Simply from the head

This mighty love

Strictly from the bottom

Simply from the head

Wasn’t made by human hand

It simply devil’s master plan

Aint got no mother father sister

What the bloody hell is it?

She’s the queen of libertines

A cross of sex and good machine

A modest words of love

In turn she pressed a f***ing charge

On me

This mighty love

Strictly from the bottom

Simply from the head

This mighty love

Strictly from the bottom

Simply from the head

I miss the sun while I’m in here

I fought my mind and my needs

I found out there are more to stake than just to scratch your back

I laid down there for awhile, the bee will never stung me

The place I stand will let you know my full immunity

Visit Indonesia 2008

The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom formed trade links with China. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Under Indian influence, Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished from the early centuries CE. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Exploration. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia’s history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.

Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest and politically dominant ethnic group. As a unitary state and a nation, Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia’s national motto, “Bhinneka tunggal ika” (”Unity in Diversity” lit. “many, yet one”), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. However, sectarian tensions and separatism have led to violent confrontations that have undermined political and economic stability. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world’s second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty is a defining feature of contemporary Indonesia.

No one but you

A hand above the water
An angel reaching for the sky
Is it raining in heaven
Do you want us to cry

And everywhere the broken-hearted
On every lonely avenue
No-one could reach them
No-one but you

One by one
Only the Good die young
They’re only flying too close to the sun
And life goes on
Without you…

Another Tricky Situation
I get to drownin’ in the Blues
And I find myself thinkin
Well - what would you do

Yes! - it was such an operation
Forever paying every due
Hell, you made a sensation
You found a way through

One by one
Only the Good die young
They’re only flyin’ too close to the sun
We’ll remember
Forever…

And now the party must be over
I guess we’ll never understand
The sense of your leaving
Was in the way it was planned…

So we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There’s a face at the window
And i aint never, never saying goodbye…

One by one
Only the Good die young
They’re only flyin’ too close to the sun
Cryin’ for nothing
Cryin’ for no-one
No-one but you

Sebuah tangan diatas air
Malaikat menggapai kearah langit
Apakah di surga sedang hujan?
Apakah kau ingin kami menangis?

Satu demi satu
Hanya yang baik mati muda
Mereka hanya terbang mendekati matahari
Menangis bukan untuk apapun
Menangis bukan untuk siapapun
Bukan siapapun kecuali kamu
