Verses of Love

  

“Kamu percaya pada jodoh Fahri?”

“Ya, setiap orang memiliki…”
“…jodohnya masing-masing. Itu yang selalu kamu bilang. Aku rasa Sungai Nil dan Mesir, itu jodoh. Senang ya, kalau kita bisa bertemu dengan jodoh yang diberikan Tuhan dari langit.”
“Bukan dari langit Maria, tapi dari hati…dekat sekali.”

whispers of sand in a barren land
as barren as a hollow heart
how I happened to be engaged in a difficult love..
when confidence reigned in
affection was not merely a love
sacrifice of a true love
had I placed at stake
forgive me when I was not perfect
unabled to control this love
verses of love revealed
all my love for you
when happiness began to touch
as if I could live forever
but I had to leave love when I prostrated to the almighty
