~DESIR~


Pagi yang tak biasa
Matahari terlalu malu bicara
Aku yang tertegun rindu dibuatnya
Kau lahap semua mimpi tadi malam

Bidak jenuhmu
melenggang bebas di hitam putih hatiku
aku yang termenung gundah dibuatnya
kau ucap semua kata dalam diam

aku terbaring dalam desir harapan
yang tak bisa ku genggam dan tak bisa ku relakan
aku terhanyut dalam desir kenyamanan
yang hanya singgah di pelupuk mata

aku tak isyaratkan
kau tuk terangi malam
atau menunggu esok hari
tuk bawakan mentari

lampu di persimpangan
tak pernah aku nyalakan
berhentilah mencari-cari
tempat untuk mengisi

harapan hanya delusi...



~Desir~ (feat. Dhea Febrina)
