Penyair (Amatir) Lugas

Helooooooooo Eperibadeh! Ya udah gua mau posting lagi nih. Setelah lo muntah, ngakak, ketawa kosong, senyum-senyum gaje, nyengir, atau mungkin malah ngumpat setelah liat poto-poto yang gua pos di entri sebelumnya, gua mau share puisi bikinan gua nih. Tapi gua males nulis di Facebook Notes atau di Enta's Poems *Poems of Enta, I already changed it*. Abisnya puisinya aneeeeeeeeeeeeeh! Ya udah daripada banyak cingcong mending gua pos ye:

I still remember
The first time I found out that I was gonna be a father
It was the most exciting news for me
Because it had been my dream for a long time ago

I still remember
The first time I felt my kiddo's move
It was so impressive, that there really was a human life
As I stroked it from outside, I whispered, "Hello, there, it's your Daddy."

I still remember
The first time I found out that I would have a little girl
I was very excited
That I was gonna be a father of a soon to be beautiful princess

I still remember
The first time I heard the cry from my little girl
It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard
As I saw her face, I couldn't help but smile

I still remember
The first time I held my little girl
She looked so tiny but cute
As I stroked her cheek, I whispered, "Here's your Daddy."

I still remember
The first time my little girl was breastfed
As she ate, I stroked her hair
Admiring how beautiful and cute she was

I still remember
The first thing my little girl said
Instead me, she called her mommy
But, still, it was a sound from heaven

I still remember
When I celebrated my little girl's first birthday
She looked so cute in her dress
Deep down, I hoped she would stay in this age forever

I still remember
When my little girl was being a big sister
She was so excited about the new baby
And I knew she would be a good sister for it

I still remember
When I taught my little girl how to walk
Watched her little step and held her tiny hands
As I let her go, she finally walked by herself

I still remember
When I taught my little girl how to ride a bike
She almost fell to the grown
But finally I could see her riding her bike and laughing

I still remember
When I took my little girl to pre-school
She kept hiding behind me
And I said, "It's oke, you'll be fine."

I still remember
When my little girl went to elementary school
God, I couldn't believe how big she was getting already
But it was reality, I had to face it

I still remember
When my little girl went to middle school
She was getting bigger and bigger
I had no words to say

I still remember
When my little girl went out with her friends
She didn't let me took her
My little girl wasn't as little as she used to anymore

I still remember
When my little girl went to high school
She was a very mature teenager now
But I still called her my little girl

I still remember
When my little girl went out with her boyfriend
Deep down, I didn't want to let her go
But I would do anything that makes her happy

I still remember
When my little girl celebrated her sweet sixteen
I still didn't want to believe that she already was sixteen
But my wife whispered to me, "Believe it."

I still remember
When my little girl graduated from high school
Honestly, I didn't want to let her for college
But I had to, because it was very important for her

I still remember
When my little girl wore her engagement ring
I couldn't believe that I had to let her go for another guy
But I had to face it...for my little girl's sake

I still remember
When I was in my little girl's wedding
I couldn't help but cry
I had to let my little girl go for someone else

I still remember
When my little girl held her little girl
She had a little girl who was as beautiful as she was
My little girl already was a mommy

It's all happened in the blink of an eye
It seems like yesterday I held her as a cute little baby
But now she already is an adult, independent, mature woman
My little girl is totally grown up

Anything can happen
But she will always be my little girl
My sweet little girl
Always

Udah gua bilang ancuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur! Judul puisinya My Sweet Little Girl. Inspirasi awalnya tuh pas gua baca epilognya Love Means Everything, bagus deh *lo bayangin aja Hantuchova jadi nenek-nenek*. Terus baru kerealisasinya abis gua jalan ke Dufan bareng temen-temen gue. Bkakakak ancur deh puisinya, jadi pokoknya tuh itu puisinya tentang anak cewek dari sudut pandang bapaknya gitu. Puisi terpanjang yang pernah gue bikin tuh *kayaknya sih*, cuma mendadak gua ngebayangin kritikus sastra pada nangis darah ngebaca puisi itu hehehe.

Gua bikinnya pake bahasa Inggris *lagi*. Bukannya mau sok ke-Barat-Barat-an atau apa, tapi emang bikin puisi pake bahasa Inggris itu paling enak, karena gak perlu puitis-puitisan. Lagian gua udah kadung menyebut diri gue sebagai penyair lugas, jadi kalo baca puisi gue yang pake bahasa Indonesia udah deh lo bakal susah nemuin metafora, simile, atau konotasi di situ. Semuanya lugas, to the point aja. Itu style gue, tapi gue tau pasti banyak yang gak suka sama style gue. Ya gitu lah orang Indonesia kan kebanyakan pikirannya sempit, jadi yang ada di otak mereka puisi itu harus puitis, dan lugas itu haram dalam perpuisian. Ya mungkin karena kelugasan itulah gue 'cuma' dapet sembilan puluh delapan pas ada PR bikin puisi.

Selain puisi agak panjang, gua juga demen bikin syair pendek, jadi cuma satu bait gitu deh. Contohnya ini:

Ketika tanah liat menjadi rumput
Maka sejarah pun akan terulang
Lima tahun penantian akan terjawab
Di sini
Di Wimbledon

Ckakakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak...ajegile itu ancuuuuuuuur parah...gua harap lo pada ngerti ya maksudnya. Gak ngerti? Ya sutralah, silakan ditafsirkan sendiri *ditabok*.

Ya udah segitu saja lah...kalo ada ide lagi insya Allah dipos.

Adios.
