Hearts And Love ~ by Speed

People nowadays regularly used the word Sayang(Care), as a substitute for the word Cinta(Love) in their Vocabulary. It is as if saying Love to a boyfriend/girlfriend is inappropriate and embarrassing so saying Care is deemed as a better alternative in a personal relationship. What sort of phenomenon is this that erodes the meaning of the word "Love"? Is it related to the character of people who prefer freedom and dislike commitment ( the consequence of love)? This is an interesting phenomenon that must be recognized and discussed.

What is the true meaning of Love? The complex and multi-dimensional nature of love...( from physical, hormonal, emotional and right through its spiritual aspects) makes it difficult to comprehend. Love transport people into a new world filled with beauty, energy, ecstasy, but it also instills an astounding sense of recklessness in people. Love is the reason why a pair of lovers can stay up through the night just to watch the sunrise, take unnecessary risks just to see each other, or defy the boundaries of race and culture just to be together. That is the magic of love. A magic that blurs the line between sanity and insanity. Love does not just take us to see the heart that is full of joy, it also forces us to dive into the heart to see the sorrow and pain.
Keep the Lamp Of Love burning with scented oil that burns forever, because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west but Love rises in the heart and sets after the death.

Mencari Hakikat

Semalam yang pergi... meninggalkan seribu rindu
pada alam dan gemersik suara...
kita berlari merentasi masa
mencari hakikat tersembunyi

Semalam yang pergi... adalah satu sejarah abadi
tersimpan dalam kenangan
tanpa sekelumit terbuang
dari ingatan yang pasti teguh

Semalam yang pergi... meniup semangat harapan
agar esok dan seterusnya
akan dilalui dengan pasti
damai seceria hari ini... buatku

Hari ini... aku sedang berdiri disini
mengintip serpihan luka
dari sketsa kehancuran
akan kucantumkan... bajai...
untuk...
menyuburkan kisah dan harapan
untuk hari esok ~
