Sepulang Sirkus

-
Aku berjalan pulang dengan hati riang
Seulas senyum menghias wajah yang girang
Ribuan kali telah kutonton sirkus itu
Ribuan kali pula ia dapat memukauku

Empat tahun aku menyimak dengan setia
Mengenal betul setiap pelosok dan sudutnya
Walau hanya sekian hari dan tak menetap
Kunanti saat ia kembali untuk kutatap

Atraksinya merangsang imaji dan hatiku tertambat
Wahananya mengguncang tubuhku dengan nikmat
Itulah sirkus yang membuatku mengharap
Dalam setiap kunjungnya yang hanya sekejap

Hingga saat ia berkemas untuk pergi
Terkadang berbulan tanpa kabar dan berita
Tak tahu kapan ia akan kembali lagi
Menyapaku dengan hiburan gambar dan cerita

Ingin rasanya kumiliki sirkus itu
Yang memberi tujuan dalam hidupku
Karena hampa kurasa tanpa hadirnya
Meski sesaat kumerasa memilikinya

Woke up this morning and I feel pain It was sadness before but now I feel lost Feels like being punished just for being So much in love with you but it's forbidden You put smile on my face, the best one ever But it's taken away from me, it hurts like shit Like finding a gown that fits but too expensive I can only adore you for I'm not allowed to steal You came out of nowhere, out of my league Touched my heart so gentle just by holding hands You showed me love so true I didn't know existed Now I have to let you go, tell me how do I do that? I no longer ask the 'why', I prefer the 'how' How much joy you bring to me just by your 'hello' How your love heals all of my previous wounds And whispering to me it's gonna be all right With you it's just love, somehow it scares me I've been in pain for so long, I wasn't prepared Now I know what those love songs' about I really wish this won't be a sad one If I ...

It should be another ordinary vacation day in Bali for me, but something in the air says something else. From the mesmerizing sunset to the colourful twilight sky that I just witnessed on the beach, I know there should be something special about the day. But my whole day already went on like any regular day... until it was dinner time. "Excuse me," a man softly touches the back of my lower left arm. I glance at him with a plate full of the dish I picked from the food counter on my left hand. My right hand is grabbing the utensils from a smaller counter. I stare at him for two seconds, waiting for the reason of why he provoked me. "Deidre," he looks relieved when I look back. But it's not my name he just called. I stare at him for a longer bit. There is something in his eyes that sends me a shiver. A strange warm sensation that makes me shiver. "I'm sorry, wrong person," I smile, both to cover the awkwardness and to get rid of...

Kupandangi cakrawala barat Sapuan aneka warna bersemburat Langit tak berawan petang Saat Sang Surya tlah menghilang Menyisakan lembayung di ujung biru Sesaat itu ada kurasakan haru Sekilas kulihat bayangmu melintas Menari di luasnya langit tak terbatas Dan kutersadar betapa jauh ku t'lah melangkah Tak nampak sudah persimpangan kita berpisah Kau tak tampak nyata dalam benak Tak lagi kurasakan getar dalam gerak Terpikir kadang tuturmu dulu Yang membuatku selalu meragu Dan kini kupaham mengapa kau begitu Betapa indah saat-saat itu Saat kau satu dalam kalbu Dan kini ku t'lah melangkah jauh Tak lagi kau hadir dalam mimpi Tanpamu tak lagi kurasakan sepi Betapa jauh kau t'lah melangkah Dan lajunya tak bisa kucegah Tapi tentangmu kusimpan rapat Dan hatimu tetap terasa dekat
