BUATAN ZAMAN
tak ada yang mengharuskanku untuk segera pergi,
tatap yang penuh tanya, senyum berteka-teki
di wajahmu yang tak lagi pucat pasi: berseri,
usah ragu, hadirku bukan untuk mati
hadirku untuk menyampaikan rangkaian kisah
rekam jejak manusia di pusaran sejarah
ah! kutahu dirimu tak sabar diamuk gelisah
dada deru debar - mata berkaca-kaca, basah.
matamu berkaca-kaca mengharap nyata,
kabut mesti tersibak, hilang musnah dusta
namun, mestikah luka lama biar menganga?
dendam kesumat saatnya dilupa.
tak ada yang menghendaki luka kembali.
tak ada yang mengharuskanmu untuk pergi.

PRODUCT OF THE ERA
no one told me to leave immediately,
your staring eyes, asking smile
in your face, no longer pale: radiantly,
do not hesitate, I come here now, not to die.
I came to deliver a series of stories
humanity track record in the vortex of history
Ah! I know you wait to be restless not
your chest pounding- eyes teary, wet.
tears falling for expecting the truth,
the mist must be parted, no more lie
but, should the old wound let open?
vengeful resentment, to be forgotten.
no one wants the wounds to return,
no one asked you to leave soon.
