Hujan Hari Ini

Hujan hari ini membuat cuaca pagi menjadi dingin. Segar. Jadi ingat jaman dulu, jalan-jalan di alam bebas dengan kaki telanjang, melihat daun-daun yang hijau, basah. Merasakan dingin yang menusuk tulang. Baju yang basah kuyup dengan rambut yang lepek. Kaki yang jadi kaku karena dingin, melangkah menapaki kerikil-kerikil dan tanah becek. Menikmati aroma tanah dan pohon yang digerus derasnya air hujan. Suasana yang dingin, aroma basah dan wangi tanah yang menyegarkan... hhhmmm.... Puas jalan-jalan, trus mampir di warung pinggir jalan, menikmati segelas kopi atau teh hangat. Dengan gigi yang menggigil kedinginan, tangan dan bibir yang keriput, memegang segelas kopi/teh hangat dan pisang goreng yang baru diangkat dari penggorengannya. Sambil duduk meringkuk dengan baju yang masih basah kuyup. kangeeeennn....

Family Portrait - Pink

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's tearin' me down

I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told Dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said

You fight about money
'Bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter

It ain't easy, growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family

Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy, I'll do anything

Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy, please don't leave

Daddy please stop yelling
I can't stand the sound
Make Mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around

My mama, she loves you
No matter what she says is true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too

I ran away today
Ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way

It ain't easy growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be
That I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it did my family

Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy, I'll do anything

Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy, please don't leave

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend
Let's act like it comes naturally

I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my Mommy
Have to change her last name!

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal
Let's go back to that

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend
Act like it goes naturally

Daddy please don't leave
Oh let's go back oh lets go back to that

Daddy don't leave
Daddy turn around please

Remember that the night you left
You took my shining star
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone

Mama'll be nicer
I'll be so much better
I'll tell my brother
I won't spill the milk at dinner

I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

Hati Biru - 1

Biarkan aku sendiri, ibu
Yang ini bukan apa-apa
Karena aku tahu, aku masih akan
menghadapi gelombang dan badai yang
seribu kali lebih besar. Dan mungkin...
sejuta kali juga lebih sunyi!
