All In That Road

All in that road

I find myself full of tears when I imagine it again

The bright light that used to shine for us so brightly

So bright that I can almost see what paradise is

A paradise designed for the two of us




And then in a blink of an eye it’s gone

That beautiful and lovely paradise was gone

Because there was no road to lead me there

I walked home alone in a long and dreamy boulevard


I wrote those names in the midnight stars

And I said to myself you will be the last star

The last star that will ever lead me to that paradise

Where no reason at all to cry in the middle of dawn 


Though you break my yearning heart 

Your name that was beautifully written among those stars

Your name that makes me weak whenever I hear them 

It will never stop from adoring your sweet presence

Petals Over the Wind

Petals over the wind 


Misty morning light up the world again

The smell of cool wind embraces my chest

Striking colour of red and white trapped me 

Wondering how they become almost perfect 


I sat down on the grass above the earth 

Unseen atmosphere calling those petals

Living me curious if I can go with them

Circling me around, suddenly I’m in dreamland 


Wind and petals where dancing harmoniously 

Singing birds harmonize with every beat they make

As they follow the current of the stream, they mingle 

Laughing while I watch it I felt like drowning 



From that moment I abruptly realize

Unseen happiness can never be blissful as you thought

Like the invisible wind calling those petals to make happy moments

Going to a place where they can bring delight to somebody

Everytime You Cross My Mind

Like my song for you, my love will never fade

Like the sun who never leave the perching sky

Like how the cold rain kisses the ground every time it falls

Like how the wind embraces the emptiness inside me



But the distance between us makes me feel so alone

The silence that I used to hear since you were gone

It grows faster than I ever thought

The leaves over my glass window keep on falling



My wiping eyes unconsciously shed tears

Tears that I kept for a very long time

Because I do recall what happen that night	

And it never crosses my mind that this will come to end

You'Re Here No More

You’re Here No More



I used to lie down in a bed full of teddies’ 

But I know I cannot be in that bed anymore
 
In the middle of the night I am missing those bear hugs 

Those warm cotton that used to comfort me whenever I got scared of the whistling sound from the outside 



But it was long gone and I am in a queen size bed where I can only feel the coldness of the night 

No more warm cotton to make me feel I’m not alone

No more whistling sound from the outside that will make me feel scared

No more reason anymore for me not to forget you



I can’t find any more reason for me not to let go 

So I’ve decided to stare at my window where flowers of red and yellow blooms 

And there I saw how the rays of the sun struck through those flowers

I was just surprise on how the ray of the sun makes those flowers blooms



How it affects those blooming creatures

How it reach out for us to make them witness

 To witness and to realized that no matter how long the journey 

At the end of that journey we will have the chance to see how beautiful and magical life has prepared for us to see

Summer Time

Stream runs dry and its summer time

Rivers trickle over my thoughts 

Birds flew away when the rain starts to tumble 

Fireflies dim their fading light 


Calm blue sky fill me some rain

Wash away all the pain I kept 

Keep me numb all night 

So I won’t feel any fright 


Fall me to sleep this time 

And give me those goodbye kisses

As your shadow gets blurred 

Make me dream sweet paradise


Keep me in those tight arms

Remain my illusion in my mind 

Create haven in our beautiful field 

And dance with me in moonlight

When It's Gone

When It’s Gone


On this evening I didn’t know if this enticing land will be gone

My thoughts keep on worrying about something

Something that will turn this land dark and gray

Like a fading photos from yesterday



So I take a quill over the cluttered backyard 

And write something that will keep me motionless

If only this ground was not injured

If only this calm ground was kept holy



Somehow we will not be like this

We will be not be regretful of what we’ve done 

Somehow we will not wait for the clouds to turn dull

For the ocean to soar high and for the mighty trees to tumble



And as my blood scatters under the moonlight

And when the morning light make it dry

I will wish this enticing land to be safe in another moment

I will wish a bountiful period where natives lend their sincere affection

Caught

Caught

Don’t you know that I was thinking of you today?

I was thinking of our sad affair

Of how sad it was and how lonely it was

Don’t you know that I've got caught because of you ?


I've got caught by my instructor smiling

Smiling because I remember how sad it was

How terrible my feeling was when I realized here I am again

I was thinking about what we could have if there is “us”


If there is a beautiful affair between us

My happy dream became nightmare when I realized it

When I realized how fool I was 

How fool I was to think of you 


When I know you can’t even look at me

When I know even once I never came in to your mind 

And now I’m here looking in a blank page of our chapter

Imagining how will it be if we give it a plan


And there it goes that page was turn into crumbled piece of paper

Crumbled like how it should be from the very first hour

Senseless

Senseless


It doesn't make the rain stop when I stop to cry

It doesn't make me feel me alright when you leave

If you fly away like strings of daffodils you make me sad

If you fly away like broken dreams do you think I will be fine?


Though the sun can’t measure my burning love for you

Though the sky will cry out a million tears, it will not change

Though the water from the river runs dry, my love for you will overflow

Though the wind will make the falling leaves tremble I will stay here for you 



But now I should say ,Please just don’t come over my dreams 

Just don’t make me feel that it won’t last

Because I know it will, maybe soon

 And just don’t make my day bright and visible 


My nights grew darker as my blurry eyes 

Eyes that started to make tears as you love me

Eyes that witnessed all the broken and unbroken heart

Eyes that used to be happy but now was confused

Uncertainly Wrong

Uncertainly Wrong



Should I believe that I’m breathing?

When I know I’m just suffocated?

Should I believe that I’m alive?

When I know I’m dead?



Should I wait for the time you will be here?

When I know you’re not coming back?

Should I stop myself from crying?

When I know my tears can’t stop from falling?



Should I end mending my heart?

When I know you’re the reason why it’s broken?

Should I turn off the lullaby in my head?

When I know it’s the only thing I can keep?



Should I go back to every moment we’ve made?

When I know it’s fading swiftly?

Should I stop screaming your name?

When I know that my lips will always remember it?
