Be Around

Be around for your best friend’s 21^st birthday because else

She’s going to have to spend it alone

And your absence would leave a gaping hole

On her otherwise joyful day.

Be around for your little sister’s high school years

Because she’ll be so confused and sad

That she might do something reckless

If you’re not present to hug her out

Be around for your own wedding. Be around to read the next greatest book series and be around to write it.

Be around to watch your first concert and graduate with a master degree and to fall asleep in libraries where strangers gives you blankets and to ride trains alone until you’re no longer afraid of them.

Be around to make art on your wrists when you get bored and to taste all the food you always wanted to eat.

Be around to write poetry that sucked until you’ve bleed enough ink to write ones that doesn’t.

Be around to get so good at singing and accidentally became the next musical prodigy. Be around to watch more Grammy awards and to get one. Be around to visit New York and live there. Be around to visit Disney world and see the world.

Be around for your fiftieth birthday where you gaze at what you have achieved and think back on all those years where you thought you may not make it.

Be around to show people who have doubted you, including yourself, that you can be better than they thought you ever could be.

Be around. There are still so many things that you haven’t yet found.

Me

“My words don’t sing. 
They hum until all that resembles a note is lost
and then bury themselves in my brain,
like the steady beat of a heart.
It’s when the beat gets too fast
that I need to pour it out
Maybe that’s why we need page breaks,
to help slow it all down,
to make it a little easier for the writer
to breathe.”

I am Only.....

I am only a pigment,
a line,
a stroke,
in the grand scheme of things.

But you are the light
that touches
that highlights
and contrasts the dark.

You are the subject
the context,
the background
of the masterpiece.

I am only the medium
ready
to paint your brilliance.

Cover me.
Spill the colors.
Until I am too,

Is filled
with brilliance
and wonder.

Space

In the spaces
where you cannot 
see me.
I promise you 
that I 
am still there.

poem by M

-       

Sudah ku bilang Kau ini Emas

“Sudah ku bilang Kau ini Emas”

Sosok natural itu menyebarkan cahaya pada gelap gulita

Tegak tubuhnya tetap berdiri kuat di antara yang terkuat

Pancaran bola mata yang deras akan keyakinan

Jejak tapak kaki menjadi saksi dalam  langkahnya

Tetes demi tetes air mengiringi hiruk pikuk perjalanan

Letihnya masih menari di pundak dan lutut kaki

Di saat percaya itu mulai meradang kalbu

Namun, tetap gigih di samping kerikil tajam

Menaruh imajinasi dalam estetika

Mengangkat nama menjadi sebuah senyuman lebar

Terekam apik pada bingkai kehidupan

Kau itu memang Emas

Pemberi kemilau dan tetap kemilau

Kau itu memang Emas

Dimana pun akan tetap menjadi Emas
