Should I be the car crash?
I'm tired of just being the traffic jam
Deteriorating the essence of your life everyday
Should I be the car crash?
I'm sick of being the stoplight
you glance at for a milisecond
then swiftly drive away
Should I really be the car crash?
Going that extra mile, pushing on the gas pedal
Even when it should have been the brake
Should I really be the car crash?
Just so you'd glance a little while longer
Or better yet be the guardian angel you are
and save me from this pile of metal debris
Collapsing my lungs and taking the life out of me
by every ticking minute
But, really,
Should I be the car crash?

HOME
They say home is where the heart is
But yesterday I gave all my heart to you
I suppose now home is where you are
And I intend to keep it that way

What I really meant to say was "I love you"
But all I could come up with was
some cryptic gibberish that made no sense
I hope you understand, nonetheless
(I know you understand.)
PS: the title of the poem is actually spelling out a word that makes perfect sense. anyone wanna try figuring it out?
HINT: look at your keyboard :)

Yesterday, I was drowing in your love.
Today, I desperately need to be rescued.

I want to be the one deluding you in your daydreams.
I want to be the one waking you up from your nightmares.
I want to be the one pouring Technicolor into your monochromatic world.
I want to be the one tune that got stuck in your head for days.
I want to be the one slipping sunshine through your blinds.
I want to be the one switching on the lights when you’re in the dark.
I want to be the one carving an effervescent smile across your face.
I want to be
the one.♥jkt, 27 apr 2009

SHE CRIES ECSTASY
she cries ecstasy
from the corner of her
soft hazel mydriatic eyes
she thought she'd no longer
shed a single tear
she thought it'd bring her
to a distant utopia
now that she's there
as it turned out
it was dystopia in disguise
she continued searching
albeit always ending up
in the same place
she cries ecstasy
from the corner of her
soft hazel mydiratic eyes
looking for a way out
only to find herself
plunged into the same chasm
over and over again

note: came up with this when i was working on one of my art sketches. i'll probly post the pic too soon enough. when i've coloured in probably haha. this poem's about a girl who's addicted to ecstasy (the drugs, i mean), but not getting what she initially thought she would. it's about her despair because she can't get out of it.
well, please do comment people if you want. i'd highly appreciate it.
thanks a bunch :D

STARSHINE
I
the stars collapsed
diminishing itself into speckles of stardust
some of which landed on your eyes
now the only sparkle
lighting my way back home
II
you may not know it, love
but you gleam brighter
than the northern star
if i leaned in closer
and whispered to you ears softly,
"you're my favourite star"
would you listen?

cue the sunset
the paradoxical moment of the day
the end of all things pretty
the start of all things dark
stuck in my self-scripted miserable soliloquy
i let the cloud hover over my head
covering the sea of stars
that are supposedly beautiful
but somehow, deep down i know
not now, but soon
you'd come around and part the clouds
so i can see the stars again
question is,
how soon?

I want to show you the sunshine.
I want to show you the sunshine
I desperately do
I keep a pocketful of it,
waiting for the right time
I want to pull you out
I miserably do
I need to see you smile.
Even just for a while,
Even if it's crooked on one side
I want to show you the sunshine
I desperately do
Will you now just take my hand?
It's beautiful outside
I want to show you the sunshine
Will you let me?

Stripped down from my own skin.
I walk around with what's left
of this fractured skeleton.
In desperate search for something and someone.
Only to find nothing and no one.

ANGIN
Aku berbisik
pada hembusan angin
yang membawa
daun-daun berguguran berdansa:
“Kembalilah.”
Kusimpan harapan
Angin akan membawanya
Terbang jauh ke atas awan
Tempat engkau berada
Merenung dan meratap
Angin berhembus
Menggelitik pipiku
Menusuk rongga-rongga jaketku
Tak kudengar suatu jawaban.

i've tried basically everything
self-prescribed or not
i don't really give a damn
i've infiltrated my veins with morphine
i've polluted my lungs with novacaine
but it doesn't work
the agony is still there
constantly aching my ego
the scars more visible than ever
what scares me the most, though
i really don't mind the pain

you unlocked the door
and let me in
i stood by the couch,
heaved.
"do you want
anything to drink?"
you offered
"a cup of comfort
would surely do."
i replied, bitter smile
then you take me in
to your warm embrace
i didnt have to sip
from a porcelain cup

inspired from The Academy Is'... song: His Girl Friday
monday afternoon
meet me out back
then we'll share
our ruthless endavour
through this accursed day
between kisses, of course
tuesday morning
pick me up with your black mustang
we'll tune up the stereo
scream at the top of our lungs
but remember
to pass through the rear gate
wednesay night
climb up the tree
slide up the rooftop
knock on my window pane
we'll spend the rest of the night
watching the night sky
glittered with bright stars
thursday afternoon
we'll drive out to the field
in the middle of nowhere
just the two of us
don't you worry, love
they'll never know
come friday
i'd usually lock my arms in his
i'd press my body into his
i'd kiss his lips not yours
i should tell you, it's bitter
unlike yours: sweet
but don't worry, baby
it's all different
starting from today
he's no longer in the picture
this time and forever
i'm your girl friday
ps: i was bored, ok. so it's not that good haha. :p comments are appreciated.
pps: listen to the academy is' new album ppl, it's really good!

i'm falling deeper down
should i cry out for help?
or let my feather-like body
plunge into the chasm
but who knows... just in case...
there are pillows down there, right?
but what if...
it's cold hardwood?
or jagged rocks
ready to thrust me
straight to the heart
but what if you're waiting?
waiting to catch me in your arms
what if...
falling is not so bad after all?

Mosh Pit Soundtrack
let them scream the words from the chorus
let the drums thump, colliding with the scream
let the guitar riffs explode
tearing excitement throughout the room
scream at the top of your lungs
jump as if the sky is our ceiling
bang your head, shake your hips
then our eyes meet, sudden electricity
don't think about the tomorrow, honey
just let it come and surprise you
don't think about the past, dear
just chunk it out of the back of your head
coz tonight's our night, baby
let's live it 'till the last second
it wont last forever
though our attraction will

kata orang cinta itu indah
cinta itu pahit
mereka juga bilang
cinta akan membunuhmu
menikammu dengan galah tajam
langsung ke rongga hatimu
cinta akan menenelantarkanmu
selagi kau terluka
karena terinjak-injak oleh ego dirinya
mereka juga pernah mengatakan
bahwa cinta itu buta
belum lagi bodoh dan gila
ada juga yang pernah berkata
bahwa cintalah yang membuat bumi berputar
namun banyak juga yang menganggap
itu semua klise belaka
tapi aku tak peduli
biarlah mereka terus bertentangan
tentang satu hal yang telah kuyakini
dengan segenap hatiku
bahwa
sebenarnya
menurutku
cinta itu adalah kamu31/08/08 9:54 PM

Crash Test Dummy
200 km/h
10 feet high thick, brick wall ahead
Buckled up in a brand new Subaru
Ready set crash
You stood under the streetlight
Arms crossed across your chest
I looked down on the concrete
“So what now?” you said
Lips tremble, eyes blurred
Two shakes of head, a bite on the lip
A bite so hard it bleeds
“So this is it then?” you said again
More trembling, more blurring
A nod this time, another bite
Plus a grind of the teeth
And streams of tears
We’re crash test dummies
Speeding at 200 km/h
10 feet high thick, brick wall ahead
Buckled up side by side
Count down the seconds
10, 9, 8…
We’re waiting
Waiting to collide

(
Added 9:58 PM)thought i should post this...:
UNMADE SHEETS AND MAGNOLIA SCENT
Is that seat taken?
Is that her side of the bed?
That was once mine to have
Unmade sheets and magnolia scent
Oh, it's all too unfamiliar
Inconsequential glances
and clandestine kisses
I'm suffussed with the poison
of which we use to call love
Oh, it all hurts just too much
You thought that i have poor insight
You're always hiding under harlequin masks
Baby, you don't have to!
Everything's already unveiled
Oh, it's just killing me inside
Bite me, but don't expose me
to the venom you conceal as kiss
Kill me, but don't stab me
by the knife you enshroud as embrace
It all won't matter anyway,
'cos the candle's flame no longer burns
ok. somehow memang agak aneh endingnya. hehe.
eniweis. gw ga pernah ngasi tau arti dari poem2 yg gue tulis. sooo maybe is should for this one. cos i sorta want people to understand what it's about...
oh well, just read on people!it's about a girl, who was cheated by her boyfriend/lover/husband/companion/watever you wanna call the guy in this poem. ;p
simple i know. hahas.
bait pertama: tentang how that girl was replaced by another ["is that her side of the bed? that was once mine to have"]
bait kedua: how she feels that everything is just a lie ["inconsequential glances and clandestine kisses"] and she also realised that their love is poisonous. yaaa gt lah..
bait ketiga: her lover is always hiding things from her, lying and things ["you're always hiding under harlequin masks"]. she's saying to him that he doesn't have too, she already knows anyway ["baby you don't have too, it's already unveiled"]...
bait keempat: tells that she'd rather have it all thrown away [bite me... kill me...] that being hurt again and again. it won't matter anyway, coz their love for each other is already dead ["the candle's flame no longer burns"]...
yea.. dat's about it..
sepertinya gw terinspirasi dari cerita Raumanen. hehehe.

DECADENCEWhy is it that your sincere smile
Leads me the road of love,
unrequited.Why is it that your ambrosial scent
Captivates me, into the
abyss of lust.
You may not notice
That these are more than passing glances
Perhaps...
I'm just an
inconsequential fragment of your today
I wish you'd see through me
'cause
beneath this exuberant smile,lies a fragile heart in decadence.
