The One

I dedicate this lyric to whom it may concern. :) (Can you hear me? Can you feel me? I'll do anything to have you near me...)

Starlight shimmers everywhere There’s a certain something in the air Can you feel what I feel in me? It’s in the air, electricity oh, oh Glimmering under neon lights I can see the look, that’s in your eyes Like a shooting star in a galaxy Making it’s way to the heart of me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me My pulse is racing and I’m feeling high Never-ending starts tonight When you do what you do to me Come on and let yourself feel the need in me, oh oh Circling and we’re getting close Can you imagine, just suppose It’s a feeling that I need to know Close to touch like Michelangelo I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me I’m the one Love me, love me, love me, love me Can you hear me? I’m connecting with you Can you feel me? I’ll do anything to have you near me I was wondering will you reach me? Can you hear me? I’m connecting with you Can you feel me? I’ll do anything to have you near me I was wondering will you reach me? I’m the one Can you hear me? I’m connecting with you Can you feel me? I’ll do anything to have you near me I was wondering will you reach me? I’m the one Can you hear me? I’m connecting with you Can you feel me? I’ll do anything to have you near me I was wondering will you reach me?

The Expansion

Sometimes, an inspiration comes in sudden way and time. No matter what we feel and what we’re doing during that time. This poet (If I might said so), made when I was in the class room for ‘Poetry’ major about four years ago. Not sure what’s behind this writing. Was the poetry major inspire and trigger my sense of art or someone who’s always on my mind? LOL… I guess both of them. This poet is just for you, as always (even we’re just a regular friend, huh? Hehe…). But, I don’t think this is always for you. Maybe next time, I will dedicate this for my forthcoming ‘crush’. Hehe…

Je vous dois. Vous êtes l'inspiration. la mouche avec mes rêves. votre beauté sèche parce que je ne peux pas l'absorber. mais vous êtes toujours mon expansion! (sorry for my bad francais! :) )

The armies battled… The armies battled straight to the point The armies battled over territory The armies battled for the supremacy of love The armies battled over and over The armies are mine, inside of my lung The armies are the every beats of my heart

The empires arose… The great empires arose for a while The Greek, the British, even the Roman they’re for a while But my empires of love are forever They won’t let us go astray

Im so and so in Love… This expansion will never stop!

Kuatnya Sebongkah Harapan

Seorang teman mengirim e-mail dengan judul di atas. Ada sedikit kontemplasi diri setelah membacanya. Melalui blog ini, aku ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada sso yg tdk diketahui siapa identitasnya yg telah menulis kisah ini (walau mungkin saja kisah ini fiktif).

Dahulu, ada seorang pengusaha yang cukup berhasil di kota ini. Ketika sang suami jatuh sakit, satu per satu pabrik mereka dijual. Harta mereka terkuras untuk berbagai biaya pengobatan. Hingga mereka harus pindah ke pinggiran kota dan membuka rumah makan sederhana. Sang suami pun telah tiada. Beberapa tahun kemudian, rumah makan itu pun harus berganti rupa menjadi warung makan yang lebih kecil sebelah pasar. Setelah lama tak mendengar kabarnya, kini setiap malam tampak sang istri dibantu oleh anak dan menantunya menggelar tikar berjualan lesehan di alun-alunkota. Cucunya sudah beberapa. Orang-orang pun masih mengenal masa lalunya yang berkelimpahan. Namun, ia tak kehilangan senyumnya yang tegar saat meladeni para pembeli. "Wahai ibu, bagaimana kau sedemikian kuat?"Harapan nak! Jangan kehilangan harapan. Bukankah seorang guru dunia pernah berujar, karena harapanlah seorang ibu menyusui anaknya. Karena harapanlah kita menanam pohon meski kita tahu kita tak kan sempat memetik buahnya yang ranum bertahun-tahun kemudian. Sekali kau kehilangan harapan, kau kehilangan seluruh kekuatanmu untuk menghadapi dunia".

Soul Mate

Many asked,”Ivren, what are you looking for in a relationship?” I said, “A soul mate! It’s certain!” No wonder, soul mate is what I looking for (without any barriers of relation types, whether it is a romance, sibling, friendship, fraternity, or whatever). Then they asked me more,” What kind of people can be your soul mate?” I laughed…. (Because it’s so intangible that I can make no description. But, well, uh… I am intense to take any details of a real soul mate).

Here are the details:

In General

I am hoping to find my other half (sometimes I dream of having twin brother/sister, ha-ha….), the one who can finish my sentences, someone who really ‘gets’ my inner emotions.

In Romance

I like someone who has a strong intellectual streak, loyalty, and great sense of humor. They are terrific selling points. I am a romantic dater. But… if my dates can’t savor romance like I do, it might be a perfect match. I also do like someone who knows exactly what to do and say in any situation. Someone with quick-witted, incredibly stylish, and so fort (one night is insufficient to make the details, ha-ha…)

What become in my mind is how to find them. I know it’s just a matter of time. I hope, at least, my forthcoming soul mate is wondering the same about me.
