I don't love you anymore

I will not praise the times we had
And won't deny that I feel sad
The silence speaks for you and me
While we're dancing

I don't love you anymore
And we're dancing
You're not the one I'm falling for
But we are dancing

Look at what we have today
I can't live without you!
That's not what I want to say
But it seems so true

So many good things that we had
Can't help myself... I feel so sad...
I wish that you would speak to me
While we're dancing

saat ini

tenggelam bersama bayang bayang
yang masih saja mendekap erat
diriku

angin hampa
dingin kering
menusuk diriku
bersama sunyi malam ini

saat bulan tak lagi bercahaya
mendung yang menyelimuti
bintang bintang pun tenggelam
bersama senyap alam raya

tahukah dirimu
saat ini
satu kidung rindu
terlantun dari bibir kering ini
untuk mu

WHAT TEACHERS MAKE

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man,
a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's
a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was
to become a teacher?" He reminded the other dinner guests what they say
about teachers: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

To stress his point he said to another guest; "You're a teacher, Bonnie.
Be honest. What do you make?"

Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, "You want
to know what I make? (She paused for a second, then began...) "Well, I
make students work harder than they ever thought they could. I make
students sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't
make them sit for 5 without an iPod, Game Cube or movie rental...You want
to know what I make?"

I make students wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them to write and then I make them write.
I make them read, read, read.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were
given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.

"Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, I can hold my head up
high and pay no attention because they are ignorant... You want to know
what I make?

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. What do you make?"


"Teachers make every other profession"

hanya dalam 5 menit

satu pemandangan yang jarang jarang aku bisa lihat .. seorang wanita yang sedang tekun membersihkan lantai marmet yg sudah kusam .. hanya dengan sikat gigi ..

aku hanya bisa diam .. sesaat dia menatap . dan aku hanya bisa tersenyum ..
tak banyak kata yang bisa aku ucapkan .. aku hanya berdiri diam .. memandang dirinya .. dengan ketekunannya .. pada kerjaan yg sedang dia lakukan ..

begitu banyak pertanyaan yang ada di kepala .. kenapa harus ada dia .. dan kenapa dia ..

aku hanya bisa iba .. melihat dia .. berkaca pada diriku .. dan kepadanya ..

sometimes life seems to be fair .. but only for few people ..

- life -

confused

ada seribu kata
berserakan
dan diakhiri oleh satu tanda tanya
tanpa ada titik dan koma

- confused -

haruskah

Haruskah ku mati karenamu
Terkubur dalam kesedihan...sepanjang waktuku
Haruskah kurelakan hidupku
Hanya demi cinta yang mungkin bisa membunuhku
Hentikan denyut nadi jantungku
Tanpa kau tahu betapa suci hatiku
Untuk...memilikimu


...
dari satu lagu yg sering kudengar

jakarta pagi ini

tetap saja kelabu
sama dengan hari hari ku
dan masih saja kelabu

-restless-

wajah yang tak lagi ku kenal
siapakah dia ...

untuk satu masa

diantara nyanyian dunia
berpeluk pada bunga bunga liar
harumi wangi fana

hanya utk satu masa
kubeli mereka

father and Sun

tired of these
sick of these
can't get out from these

will u take me out ?
