Perjalanan

Seorang Kelana menghampiriku dan bertanya; 
“di manakah aku berada saat ini?”

Jawabku; “engkau berada di ujung persimpangan; satu ke ‘tidak tahu’, satu ke ‘tidak mengerti’.”

“Beri tahu padaku di mana Kebahagiaan? Bertahun-tahun aku mencarinya, tak kutemukan.” Ia meraih tanganku, menatap penuh harap.

“Berjalanlah denganku, dan Kebahagiaan akan datang menghampiri.” Aku tersenyum, menggenggam erat jemarinya.

Perjalanan kami masih sangat panjang.

Brush and Pen

Never put down your brush 
For it is your hand to my heart 
A touch of your wondrous soul to mine

Never put down your brush 
As I won’t put down my pen 
In defining the sweetness of our reminiscence

I’ll write, I’ll write, until it’s clear and bright 
You’ll paint, you’ll paint, take away all of the pain

We are two lost souls who found each other again 
In a solitary world of art, and hopes, and promises


~ dedicated to the object of my affection. you. cheers!

Cornelia Michele & Cynthia Rachel - Duet on Fallin' For You

Fallin' For You

I don't know but I think I maybe Fallin' for you Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I Know you better

I am trying Not to tell you
But I want to I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life And now I found ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

As I'm standing here And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you And we start to dance
All around us I see nobody
Here in silence It's just you and me

I'm trying Not to tell you
But I want to I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life and now I found ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

Oh I just can't take it My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I've been spending all my time Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life and now I found ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it I think I'm fallin' for you (x2)

I'm fallin' for you
Ooohhh Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you

Ode Buat Rindu

Rinduku berhamburan dari selip-selip ingatan 
Ribu rasa membuncah meruah kenangan
Betapa ingin kurajah harap dan angan dalam genggaman

Kau tahu, kerap aku berharap punya nyali untuk berani
Menyanyikan puisi tentang waktu yang menggurat nadi
Andai mampu kutentang masa 
Andai mampu kuurai kelindan lajunya

Tetapi aku residivis realita, 
terperangkap dalam dunia maya
Mengais sisa-sisa mimpi, 
satu-satu kukumpulkan puing hati  

Dan di hadapanmu aku mendadak pemalu
Lidahku kelu, tergugu beku, tak mampu mengaku;
“Aku masih mencintaimu.”


~ jelang Sore, dan geletar Rindu di selip-selip ingatan
