Love is the mind’s doing – and not the eyes' -
and so they say,
the mind tricks, illuminating a pony
to a celestial creature
...

For Johannes Leonardo. Thank you for always being there...

This I dedicate to a friend I love so dearly
Whose sincerity is engraved in serenity
...

Analyzing the taunting jolts
within the very soul beneath my skin
drizzling in my vein, echoing
from a secret place
...

You are the good ol’ days I long to reach
And I hope I’ll get back to those days anytime soon
For now I think I’ve got everything sober
And if you don’t mind me asking, have you?
...

For Alvin, a beary special friend of mine...

I cherish each moment we're together
Walking hand-in-hand in laughter
...

Wandering alone in the misty way
Feeling uncertain and in despair
Though looking very tough and unbreakable
It takes all my might not to break down and cry
...

...

If I seem to always doubt you
It's more to half believing the fact I thought I knew
So I don't doubt - it was amazement most of the time
And it gives me jitters to my spine
...

For Eric Soegyanto. Because you've got all the talents to do lots of wonderful things in life...

Why should you be pessimistic
When you know deep in your heart
...

When you're there at every corner of my mind
You are the vision of everything I see
And I'm stranded in between space
Where logic can't follow
...

Toi, mon cher ami, es une grace d'en haut
Ta presence devient mon encouragement
Parce que avec toi
C'est comme etre verse par le soleil embrassant
...

It's just not easy to stop loving somebody
Cutting the petals that bloom
Ignoring all the buds that grow
When my soul is the fertile soil
...

Rise and Shine!
A new day has come - oh so fine
It's time to ease the pain
Take charge and stop being vain
...

When your eyes don’t see me
I know it’s because
it’s too heavy for you
I understand, looking away
...

Why is the face I'm staring at so cloudy
Is there something troubling you?
What can I do to ease your pain?
...

The world in peace, welcoming the dusk in serenity,
yet the feeling within is up-roaring in tranquility,
blasting in silence, thrusting like a blunt blade with no sympathy.
...

In the silence of the night
Where I can see no light
Just realized I need a guide
To be a friend by my side
...

Breathing the scent of September
The flawed fairy tale I always remember
With whom I placed my hidden treasure
Nothing to gain but thorny pleasure
...

Seize the upcoming day
Though it might be hopeless and gay
Embrace the life’s melody
Grace, it is a synchronized harmony
...

In this life’s mystifying maze
I wish you a living at ease
The golden sunshine you seize
...
