Windmills of Your Mind
Sting - Windmills of Your Mind (From The Movie "Thomas Crown Affair")
Lirik:
Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking allong the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Until
Sting - Until (From The Movie "Kate & Leopold")
Lirik:
If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until...
One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon and we would ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until...

Desert Rose
Sting featuring Cheb Mami - Desert Rose.
Diambil dari album Sting Brand New Day, keluaran September, 1999. Menampilkan vokalis Aljazair Cheb Mami.
Lirik:
Layli ya layli ya (Oh night oh night)
Hadi muda tweela (It's been too long)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzali (That I've been looking for my loved one)
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
Aman aman aman (Peace peace)
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Omri feek entiya (You have my life)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall
Ya lili ah ya leel (My night, oh night).....

Puisi 005 | Awal Dari Akhir Sebuah Keyakinan
kala itu
arus sungai bebatuan mengetatkan pegangan
teramat sedikit memberi pilihan
kelebat ranting yang menjulur memompa kehati-hatian
serentak menunda segala pertimbangan
gelap pekat lebatnya dedaunan
menyesakkan pengap terbitnya harapan
......
kali ini
jalan cadas bebatuan menyentakkan pegangan
tak mungkin memusatkan perhatian
lebat pepohonan menghalangi pandangan
sedikit menyisakan bekal keadaan
gelap pekatnya awan meniadakan bayangan
menambah suasana temaram semakin kelam
walau ...
pada keduanya
aroma rerumputan tercium menyegarkan
menyentuh palung terdalam kesadaran
cericit bisik serangga menyuarakan alam
mengingatkan diri akan ketidak sendirian
semerbak rindu tanah kala pertama disapu hujan
memastikan siklus kehidupan yang pasti berulang
namun ...
roda perjalanan terasa begitu membosankan
melantur dari jalur tanpa kesan tanpa hiasan
alur-ulir urutan tak tentu arah tujuan
seakan meniti lingkaran labirin malam
seberat penat menyeret kaki berjalan
tak jua temukan damai pemberhentian
kalau pun ada janji oase di kejauhan
sekedar cuplikan sebuah sinetron malam
inikah kehidupan ...?
sekedar peran
dari sang sutradara malam ...?
peran figuran
dari sebuah alur cerita murahan ...?
ataukah ...
sekedar bidak permainan
dari Sang Pencipta Alam ... ?

Puisi 004 | Titik Nadir
lahir. titik awal dari kehidupan
sebentuk tubuh mungil bergeliat
refleksi ruh suci menyusup jasad
tanpa sejarah tak berriwayat
putih, bersih dari noda dan noktah
handai sahaya menjulurkan tangan
sekedar menyentuh mengalirkan minat
akan kekuasaan Pencipta segala zat
pada manusia dalam membekali harkat
untuk usaha meneruskan umat
......
nadir. titik akhir dari kekuasaan
sebongkah tubuh ringkih merintih
refleksi ruh basi menusuk hayat
tanpa sejarah tak berriwayat
jerih, perih dari daya yang payah
begal sang dajal mengepalkan tangan
sekedar menyumpah melemparkan hujat
akan ketamakan sang sakaguru umat
yang lalai memagari martabat
dan abai mengayomi rakyat
......
metamorfosis ruh suci yang membasi
masihkah terjadi bila berbekal nurani?

Carpet Crawlers

Peter Gabriel - vocals
ge
Lirik:
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
For my second sight of people, theyve more lifeblood than before.
Theyre moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
Theres only one direction in the faces that I see;
Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing theyre free.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing
Bright.
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack.
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.

dua, tiga, laki, perempuan, anak alam
di sudut temaram perempatan jalan
bercengkeram riang, tak tampak suram
berbekal gitar dan sekedar tetabuhan
gantung menyilang melekat pinggang
menatap malam mengikat pandang
pada lampu tiga warna berganti terang
jelang kesempatan pada merah menghadang
kala lalu jalan berganti diam
tiba peluang mengais uang
dari sepasang-dua orang tua alam
dua, tiga dan terus berulang
dicengkeram kepapaan riang

dua, tiga ratus warga kehormatan
di sudut jalan wilayah kenamaan
dalam kilap mobil penuh pancaran
bergelak riang penuh harapan
tembus gerbang berpenjagaan
bersolek pakaian gemerlapan
lengkap dengan seruntut perhiasan
berbondong riang ke meja pesanan
dalam sebuah pagelaran malam
pameran dan lelang gaun impian
menggalang derma bencana alam
yang lahirkan ribuan anak alam
dua, tiga ratus juta uang tergalang
dua, tiga puluh gaun terpesan
dalam derai tawa riang para dermawan
....
tigapuluh tiga kali ku ingin mencoba
untuk mengambil pihak di antara dua
keyakinan semu seakan memberi makna
akan keberadaan yang tidak di mana-mana
kala sang kala menebarkan warta
“itu semua sia-sia…”
kegamangan pun telah meredam asa
hingga riang tak lagi ada
gelak tawa ku pun tak lagi menyuarakan nada

Puisi 002 | 16 Tahun
kala itu sang raja masih bertahta
duduk dengan pongahnya di tengah ponggawa
sementara itu aku masih memupuk asa
untuk jelang masa yang tak kan kemana
sesosok wajah belia menampakkan dirinya
dengan senyum tak ada dua
dan aku masih belajar menimba
untuk bersikap apa dan bagaimana
ketika sang kala tak lagi di sana
ketika sosok belia semakin dewasa
ku masih berkutat dengan seribu makna
hingga suatu masa, terompet tanda mulai bersuara
tanda masa tertinggal kereta
tatap hampa lama bersisa
16 tahun lamanya di mata
....
kali ini sang raja tengah perlaya
rebah merana tanpa ponggawa
sementara aku masih (terus!) memupuk asa
untuk jelang masa yang entah kemana
sesosok wajah belia menampakkan dirinya
dengan senyum yang pernah ada
kini aku telah banyak menimba
untuk bersikap apa dan bagaimana
ketika sang kala mulai tampak kembali melata
ketika sosok belia mulai bertanya-tanya
ku masih berkutat dengan tanya yang sama
hanya kini ku tak akan lagi terlena
saat terompet tanda mulai bersuara
masa dan belia pun ku ajak serta
tatap mata hampa tak lagi bersisa
selang 16 tahun menampakkan makna
tak pernah terkira cara Tuhan bekerja

Desain Poster "The Grand Parade Of Genesis' Art Rock Packaging"
Merupakan suatu tantangan yang mengasyikan saat penulis secara sambil lalu diberikan "tugas" untuk membuat desain grafis untuk penyelenggaraan pertunjukan musik yang akan diselenggarakan oleh penulis bersama Ibrahim "Ibam" Luddin dan Yudi Gumilar di bawah nama enterprise imajiner D&H Enterprise.
Ibam merupakan teman lama (sejak masa perkuliahan di F. H. Unpad dan di masa-masa penulis aktif di sebuah pemancar radio "gelap" panutan anak-anak muda pada masanya, 101 FM) dalam mengapresiakan musik dari koleksi masing-masing. Baik itu musik jazz, progressive rock, bahkan lagu-lagu "basah". Istilah kita dalam mengelompokkan musik yang bagi orang tergolong cengeng, tapi kita amat teramat menyukainya.
Yudi Gumilar adalah mitra penulis sejak lama, khususnya penyelenggaraan pertunjukan musik jazz, diawali dengan keberanian kita dalam menyelenggarakan pertunjukan musik jazz 6 (enam!) malam berturut-turut di Hotel Preanger di pertengahan tahun 2005, tanpa sponsor(!), dalam tajuk Pekan Jazz Priangan.
Tugas di atas tadi adalah tugas mendisain poster untuk acara musik retro kelompok progressive rock Genesis. Suatu pengalihan yang mengasyikan untuk penulis dari yang sebelumnya membuat desain-desain khusus Klab Jazz.
Catatan Kehidupan ...
Berkat facebook, ingatan-ingatan masa lampau di sel-sel kelabu benak ini, yang sebelumnya dipasrahkan untuk hilang digerogoti waktu, ternyata ... berhasil "ditarik" kembali ke permukaan, dan menjadi bagian dari hiasan cerita tentang riwayat diri saat hayat masih dikandung badan selama ini. Walau tergolong tidak mudah, tapi dengan perjalanan waktu, ingatan-ingatan masa lampau ini, dengan segala suka-dukanya ... sedikit ... demi ... sedikit, terangkai, bak kita tengah bermain puzzle 18.000 keping.... walau disadari akan memakan waktu yang tidak singkat, namun sekilas bentuk yang telah tersusun, walau sedikit, mampu membawa benak ini kepada kenangan yang terjadi di sekelilingnya... dan ... ini sekarang telah menjadi salahsatu motivasi yang mengasyikkan dari hidup, dan untuk tetap hidup ...
Telah menjadi pertanyaan di diri sejak lama, tentang bagaimana sel-sel kelabu di benak kita bekerja. Bagaimana bisa sepotong kenangan di usia 4 tahun terus terngiang-ngiang, sementara dua tahun setelah itu ... blank ... kosong ..., seolah terhapus.
