Jati

Pohon jati meranggas kala hujan
Ia mengaduh duduk bersikukuh
Tak ingin lekang tak ingin hengkang
Ia kunci dari permata
                   Pohon jati meratap tatap getir
                   Hampanya tak terasa oleh traktor
                   Tangannya beradu tak padan dengan sang penguasa
                   Ia hancur tak tertata
Sayap penguasa hancurlah
Sebelum alam hancur kala kau berjaya
Istana penyerakah runtuhlah
Sebelum gunung-gunung menghantam rapat pepat
                   Pohon jati tak ada
                   Hijau tak tampak
                   Beton, baja, besi muslihat serakah
                   Hingga kaisan helai hijau terpendam tersapu ke alam tak bernama
                   Karena telat karena terlambat……musnah

Stay

Never know how to feel, Something you steal When you look at me With your eyes, as blue as the sea Never know what to say, Seeing you every day So close yet so far You and I are Never know where to go, Time can be very slow When the fire inside is suppressed Suffocated, in my chest But I know this: Those hands I wanna hold ‘till my hair turns grey and old Those eyes I wanna stare into All day and night through Those lips I wanna kiss Because that’s where I find bliss That chest I wanna lay on From dusk till dawn. Please stay. AIKA Sarnia, ON, CA 19062018

Is That Love?

The night confides to the moon, That his soul is not as dark as it always seems. The sun proudly lingers on the noon, Makes him madly regret, that he belongs on the other side of the time continuum. One shall not ponder Of where the wind would blow Air is an invisible matter one would wonder Its existence is dictated merely on its flow So what would happen that the air is unseen? What state of mind would you clearly see it in? Shall you be broken? To realize one’s wholeness? Shall you be beaten? To see one’s roundness? Running and running in circle Like a dog chasing its tail Looking for a thing to hold in this bubble What possibly could make us fail? Love is no more than an infinite shades of colors Just like… morning One would think it is a new beginning One would see it as the time for returning Fire, oh the fire embodied in every molecule Preserve it as a jewel For when it’s dimmed and faded One would become jaded ...
