The Lesson

-
I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.

Did I Miss Anything?

Tom Wayman Nothing. When we realized you weren’t here we sat with our hands folded on our desks in silence, for the full two hours Everything. I gave an exam worth 40 percent of the grade for this term and assigned some reading due today on which I’m about to hand out a quiz worth 50 percent Nothing. None of the content of this course has value or meaning Take as many days off as you like: any activities we undertake as a class I assure you will not matter either to you or me and are without purpose Everything. A few minutes after we began last time a shaft of light suddenly descended and an angel or other heavenly being appeared and revealed to us what each woman or man must do to attain divine wisdom in this life and the hereafter This is the last time the class will meet before we disperse to bring the good news to all people on earth. Nothing. When you are not present how could something significant occur?

Maaf kalau aku buta hati… Maaf kalau aku buta mata.. Maaf atas segalanya.. Maaf wahai sahabat juangku.. Maaf jika aku melukai hatimu.. Maaf jika hatiku masih belum terbuka buatmu.. Maaf aku cuma manusia biasa.. Maaf aku tidak sesolehah yang kau sangka.. Maaf aku tak sempurna.. Maaf aku ucapkan padamu Maaf aku ulang banyak kali Sungguh..Maafkanku Maaf aku sendiri cuba keluar dari kekalutanku ini.. Maaf aku punya banyak masalah.. Maaf aku nyatakan dari hati khas untukmu Maaf wahai sahabat.. Maaf aku bukan sengaja.. Aku doakan semoga ALLAH temukan mu dengan seseorang yang lebih baik dariku..Amiin -Hanntzah-

Wanita Idaman

  Wanita idaman kau telah melukai Kau mencuri hati kemudian berlalu pergi Wanita idaman, dengarlah Kembalilah… Kembalilah Jangan kau bawa dirimu sebelum kau tahu betapa bermaknanya hadirmu di sisi. Wanita idaman yang mustahil kulupai Terukir namamu petang dan pagi Wanita idaman, berpalinglah Kembalilah… Kembalilah Jeritan batinku berteriak betapa bermaknanya hadirmu di sisi. Apabila bersendirian Aku ditemani kenangan-kenangan serta ingatan yang baik-baik mengenaimu Apabila bersamamu Aku menjadi tidak tentu arah Mungkin beginilah keadaan seorang insan yang diselubungi selautan rindu sesungguhnya aku merinduimu! Wanita idaman hentikan langkahmu Jangan kau menjauh dari pandanganku Wanita idaman, tunggulah Kembalilah… Kembalilah Lihatlah seraut wajah yang sama sekali tidak membenarkan kau berlalu pergi… Oleh : M.Shahir source: encikshahir
