A poem for Nana

Vincent Wi, A poem for Nana

(special dedicate for April Café, Syafrina Siregar)

Bahwa ini memang bukan sesuatu

Yang diperlu diartikan

Ketika tatap sorot matamu

Jatuh tepat di titik pengharapanku

Bahwa biarkan lah ini terjadi seadanya

Tanpa perlu diingkari

Ketika diam semakin dalam

Dan kata-kata tak lagi bisa bicara

Semestinay

Bahwa sosokmu yang tak lagi bisa

Mengubah hari-hari lalu

Ketika waktu yang lewatsatu-satu

Hanya sepi semata

Tetap jingga warnanya

Bahwa aku tetap jadi aku

Dan kamu adalah kamu

Tanpa harus menyibak nuasansa yang ada

Itu saja

Do You Know Where You’re Going To?

(theme from Mahogany ; G. Goffin, M. Nasser)

Do you know where you’re going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where you going to? Do you know?

Do you get what you’re hoping for

When you look behind you there’s no open door?

What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time

Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds

You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free

Laughing at the question that you once asked of me.

Do you get what you’re hoping for

When you look behind you there’s no open door?

What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Now looking back at all we’re had

We let so many dreams just slip through our hands

Why must be wait so long before we see

How sad the answers to those questions can be?
