Balada Hati
Manusia itu gila kalau percaya pada hatinya Cobalah bertanya, “Hati, apakah kau suka dia?” Dijawab iya Lama-lama hati bertingkah Buta arah entah gerah Lalu hati meninggalkan dia tanpa menoleh kembali

I, When I Was A Child
A short memory lingers With a coastal scent On a bright afternoon Of enormous sea wind I supposed to take a nap But I want to see sea’s map So my mother tied up my dress’s ribbon To the arms of a doss I cried as the heat rose Unstoppable wish I took a knife…

Boss
Furious eyes behind glasses Suddenly the hair turns white Older in rage Bolder in stage All he worries All he fears All his dreams are pride and money So he works like a stomping horse Like a frantic gladiator We see no sun We see no home We taste no homemade cooking We hear no…

Stars Union
Bless of the night in the silent fortress Millions of stars making the archway Shining as pearls in the sky The sky that has empty for long Stars union Those stars unite in fidelity Hub the souls across the mountains and the seas To see stars from different direction and feel the same Novia, 2010

The Eyes
Eyes are staring To the wall To the empty sheet Full of words Full of ambition Eyes are dancing Under running light Under glowing sun light Dream of a party Dream of a glory Eyes are wandering Over the clouds outside the window Over the unbound hearts Lost in perception Lost in direction Novia, 2014

Roses
Home of roses Through my dreams Through unbroken memories Spring of roses Spring of chanted melodies I’m still holding on From the emptiness In a bottle Flowing roses I will follow the trace Novia, 2014

Outer Space Alien
I used to think that someday I’ll be flying high, to the moon or so Chasing cumulonimbus in blue, racing with helium in the sky Across the atmosphere, the line that defines humanity I am no superhero that saves the day I’m not a warrior, hurries for space war Armageddon just have to wait until…

The Melody In A Half Tone Excess
Listen for awhile, just listen These different tones in the air It can be differentiated as parts of a melody The melody in us These tones are perfectly pitched Like the rhythm of descending raindrops Like the tinkling sound of crystallized water These are the tones of a lovely day I see fresh leaves falling,…

Bentang Kota Mimpi
Pada sudut terbulat, mata terlena Pada jarak terjauh kisah yang punah Mata terbuka, bulan diatas genting Namun di bulan itu tak terlihat matamu Langit malam singgah di tengah perjalanan Inikah rasanya menjejak kota yang sekali waktu menjadi mimpi Di titik-titik perjalanan Berdetak-detak di dada Pernah kulihat bukit bintang Di tengah bumi yang menghitam Merasakan dingin…

Sepersekian Detik
Sepersekian detik mungkin tak cukup Untuk mengeja kata bermakna Untuk mengiris makanan di meja Untuk mengumpulkan harta Untuk menghapus air mata Sepersekian detik Mungkin tak cukup untuk memeluk anak-anak Mungkin tak cukup untuk menggelar pesta Mungkin tak cukup untuk menempuh perjalanan Mungkin tak cukup Tak pernah cukup Arti sepersekian detik Tanyakanlah pada mereka yang terlambat…

My Mother Is Like A Ghost
I see a smile when the sun still refuses to shine Faintly thin in a room without the lights Scent of perfume is tickling A fragrant kiss on the forehead A gentle hug on the chest Then gone when I open my eyes I spend my day learning to walk Fall, then learn to run…

Malam Menyala Histeris
Kelap-kelip lampu taman di retina mata Terbias pada spektrum cahaya Keharuman yang tersisihkan Di pinggir mata, di pinggir hati Neon berpendar Lampu sorot memancar Mobil-mobil mengular Lampu berpesta liar Hingar bingar Aku menyendiri Pohon-pohon dililit lampu hias berdiri Menutup telinga Saat malam menyala histeris Novia, 2014

Morning Breaker
On the wire Like a fire Kissing the sun After a dawn My darkest night Evaporates to the clouds I hear you singing Breaking morning Novia, 2014

Moonlight Children
The children cried to the moonlight Neglected, a lonely rhapsody Only names left alone On a crowded orphanage Life has written the parent’s fate Died with no memories Unknown like the wind Some left because of poverty Or rejection of defected babies Abusive nights and dirty plates Craving for instant noodles Sleeping on thin blanket…

The Legacies
The world is sliding over time between celestial spaces Expanded to form its own original shape Vivid in the blessing of the universe Mystically guarded by wisdom words An odyssey began, path of travellers of life Through fire and water it condensed Softened the harshness of the globe Lives were blooming like a sea of…

A Hidden Sadness
The stars are dancing The moon is singing a lullaby Truly alive in a single full breath So soon, fading away Behind a million smiles A sparkling blue rain Drops in the open eyes Flowing without a trace Infiltrate the heart Novia, 2014

Cloverfield
I can see love, so green An age long remedy that keeps me in the aisles So pure till I can touch my own soul A blessing in disguise I have to find I can see love, so green It’s the touch of an invisible truth What lies beneath? It’s blinded me with the beauty…

Huruf-Huruf Kecil Menari
Sekumpulan huruf-huruf beradu dalam seru yang tak menyatu Terlalu lama bersanding tanpa suara, hingga benci satu sama lain Huruf-huruf kecil itu bersembunyi Dari kejamnya siang dan kelamnya malam Terkelupas satu persatu diantara rindu yang menusuk dalam keramaian Satu kata pun tak kunjung menyapa jiwa yang nyaris mati Huruf-huruf itu beranjak ke ujung bibir yang tersungging…

Seventh Layer
LAPISAN KETUJUH Waktu tak akan berhenti untuk menyambutmu, di daun pintu yang terbuka Atau pada bening hujan yang membeku, di mata ibumu Waktu akan membiarkanmu mencari Di tengah jeritan angin yang ribut bersuara Di tengah serpihan kaca yang beterbangan Sebuah jalan tersembunyi Di kedalaman hati atau kegilaan diri Lihatlah di balik lapisan kulit ketujuh Diatas…

Night Blooming Cereus
When darkness fall Some souls fade away To the moon and the sky Howling with the wind to break the night After nightfall There’s a blooming princess Shining white in golden lights Full blossoms, night after night
