Satu Hati Satu Kenangan

Sepasang mata melihat satu hati berkarya
Merajut seuntai kata indah
Sepasang mata memandang satu hati berbicara
Melantunkan untaian perasaan
Segenap mata melihat segenap jiwaku terbang
Senyummu kukenang menyinari fatamorgana
Sejenak hatiku diam lalu hilang ditelan kenyataan
Terbuai untaian kata yang kunjung tak terbalaskan
Segenap mataku terpejam hati larut dalam gelap duka
Saat kutarik kesimpulan kau hanya sebuah kenangan

Footprints

One night a man had a dream
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints on the sand
One belonging to him, the other to the Lord

When the last scene of his life lashed before him,
He looked back at the footprints in the sand
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there were only one set of footprints
He also noticed that it happened at very lowest and saddest time in his life

This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord about it
“Lord, you said that one I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during he most troublesome times in my life there is only one set
Of footprints .I do not understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me?”

The Lord replied “My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you
During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”

Love

Love is to share and ask nothing to return
Even I want her mine
But she leave me away
Love is happy to see your beloved happy
When she laugh and smile
And someone hold her hand tight
Love is to protect and ask nothing in return
When you hold her arms
To cross the way
To go home save
And love is trust
Believing someday
She’ll come to me . . . all the way to see me
When she had all the way . . . happy in the end

Loveless

Loveless - Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Loveless - Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest

Loveless - Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Loveless - Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Loveless - Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely

Loveless - Act V -Made by Genesis-
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Genesis Raphados

A Word of Feeling

Hatiku kadang bertanya . . . Kapan cintaku tersampaikan
Dikala besar rasa dan harap tertuju padanya
Hatiku kadang bertanya . . . Kapan cintaku terbalaskan
Dikala besarnya pengorbanan waktu dan perasaan
Tetapi hari ini hatiku bertanya . . . Mengingat dahulu sekarang . . Kucurahkan segala perhatian untuknya . . . menyandarkan segala harap
Mengapa begini jawabnya . . .

Ketika sang curahan hati berbahagia . . . merengkul pujaan hati barunya
Tak sepatah kata kabar bahagiapun terucap . . .
Dari bibir perasaanya . . .

Dari hati yang ditinggal . . . untuk hati yang berbahagia . . .

My Loneliness

I just realize, I’m stand here alone. . . all alone
The wind blow across my empty heart
I just realize, there’s something missed
And my world leave me aside
Even all that burden my feel
But it will not burden my will
Because I stand on one thing
That life is just beginning
There’s always a way
And you’ll never know what lies ahead . . .

Life Goes On

There's a day when my body will gone . . .
There's a day when my breath no longer go . . .
There's a day when my soul no longer life . . .
And there's always a day when I will not ever known . . .
Just all I can do right now . . . As my breath go and my souls live on . . .
Follow the path . . . and always look forward . . . Grateful for what we have given .
That's how I know . . . This life goes on . . .
