Day Dream Believer
Here i go again
......Nibbling on your smile
Rewinding back to all of the heat
..... ...... We two produced
..... Tangled in a parched desert
In search of an oasis
.... At last, i drink in your eyes
...... (And become inebriated)
.... I recoil in aching antiscipation
..... The pastel sands of passion
........ Sprinkle granules upon my nakedness
..... A fig-leaf... is definately out
...... Of the question
I, hidden only by... a single palm frond... and
..... The harmonious beat
.... (Of Your Heart)
..... Here's to reverie, mon amour
........ Indeed, i am a day-dream believer
....... (Certified)
...... I.. play.. our... fantasy
... (Again, and again and again)
.... And store... it.. in.. my special... niche
....... In... The Everlasting... Vault
...... Of My Soul

Desolate
Cornered in the raw and empty--
Desolation-deserts sand filled hand-
Blanket of alibaster granules-
Grainy reminders of the Mojave-most grand;
Thirst-parched-mouth dried-
Heat dehydrated-hallucination---
A mirage coiled with a bent palm--
An oasis? -No-just my imagination;
Camels carry cargo-lumping along-
Tired in their long hemp gowns-
Sweat mired upon their tired brow-
Ah-the desert-steeped in light browns;
It makes no friends of anyone--
But does take away ones very breath-
Crossing this Hell Hole of endless vacuity-
Too soon-brings about dried death;

A Banaba Leaf
this banaba leaf falls from its branch
a child gathers it
and hands it to me
and i keep it
on top of my study
each day i look at it
like it is something so different
from the rest of the leaves
time shrinks it
time browns it
until its cells begin
to show its veins
until it turns to thread
crumpled pieces
until it turns to dust
until it becomes like the sands
of the shore
nothing lasts
in such a short time
the leaf returns to ash
on its last day
i gather what remains are there
on my palm
outside i sprinkle the leaf that
returns to dust
to air back to the empty space
back to the nothingness
our place of final destination
the world is hungry for this
dusts and sands
death to everything living

Another Dream
I've had another dream I say
And in that dream I had my way.
I did not ask what I should do.
My reverie just allowed me to
Play and romp, then soar up high,
Reach my hand up to the sky,
Touch a star and feel its heat,
Fill my heart start to beat
louder, stronger then quiet down.
When I awoke I looked around
And things were as they were before.
I closed my eyes, tried dreaming some more.
But dreams like that never come my way.
So I must remember this one and say
"Why not

Amorous Opportunity
Come thee hither, or come thee hither not-
I beg that your choice be, wither not.
My travels have been by dream, divinely brought,
As you are their embodiment, and this love, divinely sought!
Allow that I may be an oasis, and you,
An intrpeid, yet parched, desert wanderer;
My faith has made me a believer, through and through-
It leads my actions-I am not a squanderer
Of amorous opportunity, when, with same, I am confronted:
A life lived in consort with your's is the one I have always wanted!
My soul's counterpoint, my heart's symbiotic pairing;
From wondrous aspiration to a life-long verity,
Is the ends, by which I am provided such clarity,
For the means, which serve as my undaunted daring!

Silk Route
Me, a passionate Indian merchant
With twinkle in my eyes,
Treading on the half-erased foot-prints
On the sands of Time
On my romantic adventure,
To meet you my love.
You, the elusive Persian princess,
A marvellously pied butterfly
With unique patterns of deep colours
Imprinted on your fluttering wings,
Hopping on and hopping off
On the fragile flowers of the oasis.
I have for you
Gifts of gold, pearl, diamond, rubies
And other precious Indian gem stones
Stacked on a camel-back.
I have silk and honey
And exclusive red roses kept hidden
In my poetic heart all for you.
I travel and travel relentlessly
On strange paths to meet you,
My princess of the oasis,
Where date-laden palm trees,
Chirping of the birds,
The colour and scent of desert vegetation
And the rhythm of the camel-bells
Ring a welcome tune
In a memorable bonanza.
Camel
I am like a camel wandering in a harsh and unforgiving desert. The heat manipulates my eyesight. The dunes warp and twirl subtly in front of me. I wonder to myself if whether or not the world has dried up, for I haven't seen water in miles and miles. My tongue lies in my mouth, shriveling like a prune, pitted and lightly bathed in crisped saliva. My spit is thick, coating my gums and teeth as if it were a translucent tar. I am thirsty, walking aimlessly—searching for some sort of lost oasis which may or may not exist. There must be a fresh pool standing alone somewhere; I dream of it in my parched thoughts. My skin burns—golden brown and tanning, cracking similar to the dusty, torrid dirt under my feet. The sun beats down hard on the barren land. I long for softer soil, to feel my toes dig into the porous ground. I wish for an all-encompassing shade to swallow the desiccating heat and the dehydrated swat droplets lining my brow. Where are you my palm tree? Can't you save me from my muscles turning to sand that slips from the sides of my bones? I wander in the harsh and unforgiving desert with only the water I've stored in my body. One day, it will be gone and I may still be looking for you, my lost and beautiful oasis.

Granular Nights
a hit and run kind of
nightmare leaves
an inexplicable emptiness
in the night's tummy
night, an endless stretch
of desert sands and
the sand granules
wait at the corners
to blur my vision
the eyes are already
dehydrated, you see
i spend the night
gathering each granule
in my palm...
they simply escape
through my fingers!
my eyes and palms
remain vacant through
the granular night...

Oh Lamour
Oh lamour
Broke my heart
Now Im aching for you
Mon amour
Whats a boy in love
Supposed to do
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
Im falling apart
No good on my own
Oh lamour
Broke my heart
Now Im aching for you
Mon amour
Whats a boy in love
Supposed to do
Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasnt your kind
Only here for the ride
Oh lamour
Broke my heart
Now Im aching for you
Mon amour
Whats a boy in love
Supposed to do
No emotional ties
You dont remember my name
I lay down and die
Im only to blame
Oh love of my heart
Its up to you now
You tore me apart
I heard inside-out
Oh lamour
Broke my heart
Now Im aching for you
Mon amour
Whats a boy in love
Supposed to do
Oh lamour
Broke my heart
Now Im aching for you
Mon amour
Whats a boy in love
Supposed to do

Fantasy
Maurice white, eddie delbarrio & verdine white
Every man has a place, in his heart theres a space,
And the world cant erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship fantasii
All your dreams will come true, right away
And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one
Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream,
Bringing life to our kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship fantasii
All your dreams will come true, miles away
Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never,
We all, will live forever, as one
Come see victory, in the land called fantasy
Loving life, a new decree,
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
Our minds will explore together, old worlds, we conquer, forever
We then, will expand love together, as one
Come to see, victory in a land called fantasy,
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find, other kind, that has been in search for you,
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize its your life, now in review
And as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you,
A glowing light will see you through
Its your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
Give a smile, from your lips, and say
I am free, yes Im free, now Im on my way

Desert Sands
My heart bleeds through my tears,
A river meanders through the desert sands,
From pain life springs forth,
An Oasis appears from the barren land,
Where will you be in my time?
Will you care, will you dare?
Will you see the Dove, will you give your love?
Will you be mine?
For 40 days I have waited in the sun,
Lips parched, my heart drained,
I see the light, my mind is bright,
My head is spinning, my eyes are dimming,
One word, one glance is all I need,
Your smallest gesture removes the doubt and brings the drought,
I wait, but will you be too late?
There can be no fire if you're a liar,
The Universe is patient, time is lost,
Will you join with me now?
I will not abandon you but I am ready,
I will wait for you, I'll even come back for you,
Will you do for me to?

There are no more words
But those floating on the strokes
In which the dusk refuses to pain paint itself
And mud stains hidden that ooze down the brush
Unkempt movement of the set-them-free colours
There are no more words
But those heard in an ongoing movie in my head
That will stop once the pianists leave the keys
Playing themselves in little cushioned tips of pray
And a naked body art dancer steps aside once again
To let the music in before a final stroke
It-s all us- the tune set in motion
Perpetum mobile of a broken heart
That sings itself until it cannot
That dances itself to the final beat
Just to move a step closer to an oasis
Always defined by a desert
The strength of a wish determined
By the lack of its realization here and now
It is for the future that we all are
Re-creation of our own desires and goals
And you may repeat endlessly
I am but a deception drawn each morning
Whenever I draw my eyes again
And paint my hands in flowers again
And smile at the mirror always fearless
Just to learn you are more real than ever
As there's a whole world spreading beyond
The horizons of your winged eyebrows
And a beat of freedom painted
In a single lowering of your eyelashes
To scratch a broken picture frame
And keep a token trace in a golden cup
Lift it higher and give some to the clouds to drink

The Usual Happening
and so it happens
that he finally went to the wilderness
because his heart is bleeding
and he is in need of the cure
the silence in the desert
the extreme heat of the sun
the hope for the oasis
the dream of camels
the mercy of his beloved

Lyric of Love to Leah
Come, my darling, let us dance
To the moon that beckons us
To dissolve our love in trance
Heedless of the hideous
Heat & hate of Sirius-
Shun his baneful brilliance!
Let us dance beneath the palm
Moving in the moonlight, frond
Wooing frond above the calm
Of the ocean diamond
Sparkling to the sky beyond
The enchantment of our psalm.
Let us dance, my mirror of
Perfect passion won to peace,
Let us dance, my treasure trove,
On the marble terraces
Carven in pallid embroeideries
For the vestal veil of Love.
Heaven awakes to encompass us,
Hell awakes its jubilance
In our hearts mysterious
Marriage of the azure expanse,
With the scarlet brilliance
Of the Moon with Sirius.
Velvet swatches our lissome limbs
Languid lapped by sky & sea
Soul through sense & spirit swims
Through the pregnant porphyry
Dome of lapiz-lazuli:-
Heart of silence, hush our hymns.
Come my darling; let us dance
Through the golden galaxies
Rythmic swell of circumstance
Beaming passion’s argosies:
Ecstacy entwined with ease,
Terrene joy transcending trance!
Thou my scarlet concubine
Draining heart’s blood to the lees
To empurple those divine
Lips with living luxuries
Life importunate to appease
Drought insatiable of wine!
Tunis in the tremendous trance
Rests from day’s incestuous
Traffic with the radiance
Of her sire-& over us
Gleams the intoxicating glance
Of the Moon & Sirius.
Take the ardour of my impearled
Essence that my shoulders seek
To intensify the curled
Candour of the eyes oblique,
Eyes that see the seraphic sleek
Lust bewitch the wanton world.
Come, my love, my dove, & pour
From thy cup the serpent wine
Brimmed & breathless -secret store
Of my crimson concubine
Surfeit spirit in the shrine-
Devil -Godess -Virgin -Whore.
Afric sands ensorcel us,
Afric seas & skies entrance
Velvet, lewd & luminous
Night surveys our soul askance!
Come my love, & let us dance
To the Moon and Sirius!

Quetch
Tendril wafted dunes
of barren sands waffle,
swirl across mile
upon mile in every direction-
your face appears a horizon away,
there is little comfort found
in accompanying echoes.
Drifting sticks
wail in the pitched wind,
stretched on distant recollection-
stylus of the scribe named Regret;
each flurrying breeze
turns a new page,
taking with it freshly shed tears.
Foetid droppings
of some wastrel desert vagabond
provide a vivid reminder
of how it can never be again,
to kick it away
would only contaminate
these well worn wandering shoes.
Head facing forward
wherever the nose points
except in the back of the mind
where the oasis burbles-
each leafy frond conceals
intimate moments now buried
within the unmindful desert's gut.

Are you for real, or just a figment of my imagination?
Could you be the one I’ve been searching for all my life?
Are you just a dream I dreamt once awaken in tears
Are you the vision I am holding onto so desperately?
Your eyes captivate my soul as a look into them
Your lips like cherry wine that fountain I want to drink from
Your skin so silky smooth glowing in the evening sky
Your hair shiny as the goddess of the night you are
Is it nothing more than a chance meeting?
Has fate raised its head smiling on me once more?
Has hope once again come knocking at my door?
Are bluer skies once again to shine light into my dismal world?
Please don’t be an illusion, a mirage for long I’ve spent in the desert
You are an oasis unseen coloring my world with your magical touch
You are paradise on earth for unsurpassed beauty never I’ve seen before
You are the light to still the savage seas to calmer shores to bring
Pinch me for I must be dreaming illicitly
If I am dreaming, don’t wake me for Nirvana I’ve truly found
If my eyes should never open again, I have seen god’s greatest creation
No more shall I wonder effortlessly in the wilderness of life
I beg you, please, please, be real for my heart cannot stand the pain
I want nothing more than to hold you for the rest of my life
I want to kiss you passionately like no other before
I want to fill your days with enchantment and joy everlasting
I will be hopelessly under your spell and filled with devotion
I will bring you neither harm nor fear for you I will always care
I will worship the very ground you walk on
I will be your hippie for you are the drug I want to be hooked on
I will be grateful just to breathe the same air as you
I will move mountains out of your way
I will cross great distances to be by your side
I will vanquish any foe that is an obstacle to your happiness
I will give my immortal soul for your embrace
I will be the court jester to put a smile on your face
I will walk across molten lava just to drink of your lips
I will dance in the fiery flames of Hades just for your amusement
This I swear as an oath to you, I shall never want another
I will kiss your lips and touch you gently for you are my world
The earth shall stand still and the rivers will flow at your whim
I will make you feel like the goddess and the queen of all desires
O’ please, please, please be real for you are a dream come true
My heart will no longer beat for another
Every beat my heartbeats is for you my sole desire
With you by my side, the world would melt away as I spend my days with you

Like A Lizard
They easily expose their nakedness to the public eye,
Like a lizard in the heat of the sun;
Wake up and cover yourselves!
Dress up and be very wise at all times.
My eyes cannot see your nakedness,
Like our feet to the shadow of death;
Righteousness and peace,
Joy with my heart in the Holy spirit;
The lusts of the flesh is like,
She who is passing the bloom of her youth.
Love builds the home and knowledge carries one to grow,
But my message is free of charge;
Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk?
Plow in hope and sow in tears in this life;
For your haverst will be great!
Do not beat the air and,
Do not run aimlessly;
Because this message is written for our admonition.

Where Did You Sleep?
You pushed away your rocking chair
Your seven years of living
Choose to think it over, you could try
You held beauty on your knee
You felt you were so giving
You made one feel special, then goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
It's so in you're nature
To keep your face well hidden
Make a fox feel proud, you're so sly
Cannot play this game
My heart's tired, are we sinking?
You made me once feel special, say goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
INSTRUMENTAL
So push away you're rocking chair
That seven years of giving
No time to think it over, so don't try
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Where did you sleep last night?
Where did you sleep last night?

A Choosen Song
Leaving cheeky girl in Borneo junggle
Took a palm tree seed along to isolated island
Savu island, my empty soul to be heal
Facing brilliant sun set in the horizon
Misery told to a light black nice girl
With a bright eyes and sweet smile
Heart beat harder, face to face so close
Tempted lips full of jokes make my days
Play a guitar skilfully singing a song
Oo nawani tana ee, li ta b'ole ballo *)
I send the song to my parent home
But they preferred sing chosen song
Situmorang - Situmorang
My passion grows like a brighter sun
A red roses start to blossom
But soon whiter by old cultures
By chosen uncle girl, Situmorang
Her fingers still play the guitar
Drink lontar brem while sing duo
Her gaze never left my eyes, asking
Should I choose Savu or Batak song
*) My sister never leave me alone

I Want You To Need Me
I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you feel you breathe you need you
I want you to need me
Like I need you
I want to be the eyes that look deep into your soul
I want to be the world to you
I just want it all
I want to be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish
I'm all you ever need
[Chorus]
More than you could know
And I need you
To never never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are....
I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between

A Box of Hearts
You have my heart in a silver box
wrapped in a sly smile
and you creep in my corner eye
stealthily.
You make no effort to acknowledge this
or even to open it
to take a peek
at what was given you long ago
by mistake.
The key is hidden in some secret place
and I search for it
even while unsure if my goal is to soothe
or retrieve;
yet I cannot be content; keyless.
I approach you at times
search your eyes
silently asking
where is my
missing soul?
You smile
that beautiful smile
flip your hair the way you do
engorged as you are with
numerous hearts in that silver box.
In the bad time nights
I wonder if you'd be soulless
without that silver box
like a collector with no quivering specimens.
I think probably;
and that helps me sleep
vowing relentlessly to seek
that hidden key
you have nonchalantly
swallowed
preventing me
from moving on
or to stay and get what I need.
