The Lucky Soulmate

The Lucky Soulmate

It's funny to find out something that you've been questioning all the time. It's like there's always an answer to any question, IF you want to be more patient and wait for some time. It'd be revealed sooner or later.

Finally I found out the reason why I can't steal someone's heart to become mine.
He got his.

It doesn't break me into pieces, though. I believe everyone has their own soulmate once in their life time. The one to whom you've been falling with, you've been dying for. You could tie the knot if you're lucky enough. Or even to some reason you have to leave and go, there's always a time that would bring you back to the person. He/she remains special whenever it takes.

I guess, the answer I got, is to get him out of my mind. To stop me from keep wondering and guessing whether it was my fault, his, or our different personality. It's just, he's found his soulmate already, and I've found mine. So that's it. If someday we happened to meet each other, not to our own soulmate, that'd be another story. For the time being, I'd pay more attention to the one who's been fighted for and believed as my soulmate. I hope I'd be that lucky gal in the world.


ps: To someone in the memorable city...piye kabare? :)

Musafir yang Mendamba

Musafir yang Mendamba

kusebutkan namamu di dinding Multazam
kubisikkan namamu di setiap sudut dan waktu ijabah
kubaitkan doa di setiap harap dan putus asa

aku tak tahu apakah Tuhan tlah cemburu padamu
kekhilafan besar yang membuatku lupa pada-Nya
disaat seharusnya kehendak dan nafsu dinihilkan

aku sang musafir yang menyesal
merindukan kembali jalan Tuhannya
terseok-seok langkahku panjang tertinggal
dan aku masih merindukanmu

cintaku padamu tak sedikitpun berubah, begitupun harapanku
tetapi aku harus menemukan Tuhanku
dengan atau tanpa dirimu
atau aku akan tertinggal jauh

.....

semoga Tuhan berkenan memaafkan diriku

Tiredness

Tiredness

bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

aku ingin pulang ke rumah-Mu, Tuhan
membawa beban dosa yang mengikat kaki
dan mengendap dalam dadaku
kan kutunggu Kau bukakan pintu, Tuhan
meskipun Kau tak sudi menerimaku

aku lelah Tuhan
membawa dosaku yang membatu
bukakan pintu untukku, Tuhan
dan jangan biarkan aku menyelinap pergi
kunci aku dalam rumah-Mu
dan selamatkan aku dari siksaan ini

lumatkan sampah busuk dalam hatiku, Tuhan
yang menenggelamkanku dalam kehinaan
nafasku telah habis, airmata pun tlah mengering
aku tak mampu menolong diriku, oh Tuhan
hentikan aku, sucikan aku,
sehingga aku pantas berada di dekat-Mu

tolong bukakan saja pintu untukku, Tuhan
dan aku tak akan pergi lagi

amien...
