help me to help myself

and for I have never experienced being poor, never accepted circumstances which make me feel so. for I was born wealthy and never lack a thing. for I was educated with pride, independence and self-sufficiency.

think I need a hand to understand. a voice to tell me to stay. for I was always eventually leave before it hurts, while it require poverty and wealth to really be us.

and it's nothing to do with materials.

"The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved." - Mother Teresa

dalam tatapan, aku sedang menjalankan perintah kitab suci

senyummu membikin aku jadi enggan mereguk bibir itu,

bagaimana bisa sebuah pertunjukan agung para dewa kurusak demi fana manusia?

dan ukirannya, sudut janggal di ujungnya;

ah, betapa mudah alam menyampaikan lembah terdalam dan puncak tertinggi jiwa di aneka derajat busur bibir kita. 

apa yang tidak terjawab oleh kecup panjang dan senggama panas, adalah sesederhanya senyum:

kasih.
