naked

Sufficient for me is You. Sufficient for me is You. Sufficient for me is You.
Mahu aku tulis itu di udara lalu aku hirup. Biar ia tinggal dalam darah.
Pusing dalam tubuh, ke kepala ke kaki, sekali, dua kali, lagi dan lagi.
Biar setiap inci aku meyakini. Sampai mati.

Rumi's poems lebih biasa dari tidak, membuat mata terkunci di skrin komputer riba, dengan tangan kiri menongkat dagu, sambil membaca puisi yang sama dua tiga kali.

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep.

-Rumi-

if so...
naked and awake
i'd rather be.

naked and awake
i want to remain.
naked and awake
make me, let me
.
