Surat

Mas, boleh nggak aku minta sesuatu?
Tolong sekali-kali jangan ngikutin kemana aku pergi boleh nggak?

Mas kan biasanya ikut sampai ke ruangan wawancara
Kayak waktu aku ikutan wawancara jadi seksi giat waktu orientasi itu
Trus waktu aku lagi ngejar cewek manis di sekolah tetangga
Mas juga ikut-ikutan nimbrung
Padahal kan aku belum sempat nembak, Mas
Apalagi Mas waktu itu datang ke acara pidato tahunan sekolah
Kan waktu itu aku harus pidato di depan 500 orang
Masak Mas datang?
Kasihan sama aku dong Mas

Ini sekarang aku mau cari kerja, Mas
Masalah serius
Jadi tolong ya, Mas
Kali ini jangan ikutin aku
Aku pengin kerja, Mas
Kasihan Bapak, sudah saatnya turun mesin
Aku pengin bantu-bantu keluarga
Mas nggak mau bantu kan?

Salam sayang buat Mas K. Gagalan,
Adikmu yang batinnya tersiksa

Maling

Rumah di kawasan itu gelap, senyap
Cuman lolongan anjing di ujung gang sana yang jadi tanda
Ada kehidupan di sana
Wanita bermantel hitam itu turun dari mobilnya, mantap
Cuman sepatu hak tingginya yang jadi tanda
Dia seorang manusia

Tak berapa lama pintu kayu itu berderit terbuka
“Aduh, ada orang nggak ya?”
Kanan kosong, kiri sepi
Brankas itu masih di sana
Sang wanita bernafas lega

Yang dari tadi hanya bersembunyi di pojok sana dengan pisaunya
Hanya bisa menggumam
“Sial, yang begini ini yang aku suka”
Dan sasaran berikutnya: hati sang wanita

Kejadian

Pada mulanya sekolahnya menciptakan kertas-kertas soal ujian
Batok kelapa sang murid belum berisi dan kosong;
Gelap gulita menutupi otak sang murid

Kadang telepon genggam sang murid pun berbunyi
“Halo, kenapa say, mau ketemu di mana?”
“Tugas aku? Ah ntar aja deh, satu jam juga selesai…”
Dan diapun tinggalkan itu laporan

Kadang sang murid punya uang
Bukannya beli buku pedoman buat belajar mesin uap
Atau tentang proses pembuatan lakban
Malahan dia makan di restoran

Kadang si kurang kerjaan punya waktu
Ambil sitar, ambil gitar, mulailah dia bersenang-senang
Belajar bukan jadi pilihan; kurang ajar
Tiba-tiba setengah tahun pun lewat

Minggu membaca tiba, matanya berkaca-kaca
Bagaimana caranya sekarang?
Oh Tuhan, dia sujud menyembah
Aku menyesal, katanya
Tidak kuulangi lagi, katanya
Dan Tuhannya menolong dia
Dikasih-Nya rumus fisika buat jawab soal
B+ B+ B- C+ B-

Dirasanya gembira, dan dia ditelepon si dia
“Halo, kenapa say, mau ketemu di mana?”
“Semester depan? Ah ntar aja deh, satu minggu juga selesai…"

A Young Fella's Prayer

Dear God, I want to be a good husband
Teach me how to love my wife
As much as You love me

I want to think of no other than her
I want to fulfil all her needs
And I want her to be happy all the time

Let me embrace her all the time
Even when distance exists
Just want to tell her that I love her

If she is down
Let me be Your channel to motivate her up
When she is weak
Teach me to empower her

Dear God, I want to be a good father
Teach me how to love my child
As much as You love me

I want my child to be better than me
I want him to succeed in his life
And I want him to love You even more than me

I want to hug him to sleep
Such that he could sleep soundly
Knowing that his father always keeps him safe

I want to teach him what I have learned
So that as he steps into his world
He knows what is it all about

I want to work at my hardest
For my wife
For my children
Show me my ways Lord
As I step into the unknowns of the future
I want to be the best I can be
Not for myself
But for those whom I am going to love in my future

This is my prayer Lord
Remind me of this always
In Jesus' name
Amen

It begins here.. (again)

Sometimes I writes sensible stuff... Sometimes not-so-sensible stuff they would call fiction. Let's just say this one is my right brain... Welcome to TLO's right brain.

Warning: These are NOT poem! Please do not say 'your poem sucks' coz this is not poem after all... Just random collection of thought which I dont feel like putting it on the other blog because of the insane amount of randomness. Maybe some look like poems but since I dont know how to write ones, it would not make sense if I write one...
