Frieska's Poem

Setelah lama gak update blog, Frieska akhirnya update blog juga. Sudah ditunggu-tunggu banget. Blognya itu insightful dan juga tenang. Kayak tempat retreat gitu deh. Hehehe. Kadang kalau buka blog dia dan belum ada update, gw akhirnya bakal cuma terdiam doang pas musiknya terputar sambil merenung sebentar tentang apa aja.

Jadi si Frieska ini baru upload puisi lagi. Cukup dalam si maknanya dan bikin gw jadi mikir sebentar, merenung sebentar dan rasanya jadi pingin tulis ulang (beneran ditulis ulang gitu) puisi dia dengan editan di sini dan di sana. Jadi inilah hasil edit-edit itu:

(Untitled)

Maybe we took it too slow

And kept it too low

But now you know

We couldn’t meet our vow

Still I remember, though

When the spring was blown

And everything you sowed

Let’s prune all that ever grow

I want to let them go

And trade all the sorrow

Because I believe so

We are made to glow

Alone or in a row

All credit goes to Frieska

What do you think?

Tantalize

tan·ta·lize [tan-tl-ahyz]

–verb (used with object), -lized, -liz·ing.

to torment with, or as if with, the sight of something desired but out of reach;

tease by arousing expectations that are repeatedly disappointed.

When there is something that you want but are not able to reach it.

You know how it feels...
