Let the lover be

Life can be poetry in the making,
like a rose blossoming in spring,
if only you let it be.

But it can also be formulaic,
nothing more than an equation,
a mathematical function.

All that is done is plugging in the numbers,
merely adding to the final sum,
a sum which is lesser than its part.

Live aesthetically,
fully appreciating, fully aware.

or live anaesthetically,
detached and numb.

perhaps the numbness is good for the pain,
but is it worth missing the beauty?

either be sons of the moment or be lost in the moment.

"By Al-'Asr (the Time)
verily man is in loss!
save those who have faith, and do righteous deeds, and enjoin in the mutual teaching of truth, and of patience and constancy." ~ Surah Al-'Asr (103)



adalah satu kerugian jika "kewarasan"-mu cuma membawa kebimbangan dan keluh kesah,
sedangkan si-majnun tenggelam dalam rasanya,

biarkan majnun dimalukan, gila dan hilang akal,
itu semua hanyalah kerisauan orang waras.

Let the lover be.
