My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness, -
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees,
In some melodious plot
Of beechen green and shadows numberless,
Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,
Tasting of Flora and the country green,
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
O for a beaker full of the warm South,
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
And purple-stained mouth;
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
And with thee fade away into the forest dim:
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.
Away! away! for I will fly to thee,
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards,
But on the viewless wings of Poesy,
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards:
Already with thee! tender is the night,
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne,
Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays;
But here there is no light,
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways.
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs,
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet
Wherewith the seasonable month endows
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves;
And mid-May's eldest child,
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain -
To thy high requiem become a sod.
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!
No hungry generations tread thee down;
The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor and clown:
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
The same that oft-times hath
Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell
To toll me back from thee to my sole self!
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well
As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf.
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: - Do I wake or sleep?
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
heran karena cuaca yang semakin tak menentu. meski sudah bulan juni tapi masih saja sering hujan. lebih baik mensyukuri segala yang ada dengan indah. seperti indahnya puisi ini:
tak ada yang lebih tabah dari hujan bulan juni
dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya kepada pohon berbunga itu
tak ada yang lebih bijak dari hujan bulan juni
dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu
tak ada yang lebih arif dari hujan bulan juni
dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan diserap akar pohon bunga itu
Nothing is tougher than the rain of June.
It keeps its own little miss to that flowered tree.
Nothing is wiser than the rain of June.
It vanishes its own foot traces which was doubtful along the way.
Nothing is more kind than the rain of June.
It lets what was untold absorbed by that flowered tree.
in my prayer this morning you became the sky that the whole night did not close its eyes, a spotted spread ready to receive the first light, a curve of silence in wait of sound/
Dalam doaku subuh ini kau menjelma langit yang semalaman tak memejamkan mata, yang meluas bening siap menerima cahaya pertama, yang melengkung hening karena akan menerima suara-suara
as the sun drifted above my head, you became in my prayer the tips of pines, eternally green and forever provoking abstruse questions to the wind that hisses from direction unknown/
Ketika matahari mengambang tenang di atas kepala, dalam doaku kau menjelma pucuk-pucuk cemara yang hijau senantiasa, yang tak henti-hentinya mengajukan pertanyaan muskil kepada angin yang mendesau entah dari mana
in my prayer at dusk you become the sparrow that fluffed its feathers in the mist, alighted on the branch and felled the tassel of guava flowers, that in sudden excitement flew away to alight on the mango branch/
Dalam doaku sore ini kau menjelma seekor burung gereja yang mengibas-ibaskan bulunya dalam gerimis, yang hinggap di ranting dan menggugurkan bulu-bulu bunga jambu, yang tiba-tiba gelisah dan terbang lalu hinggap di dahan mangga itu
this evening in my prayer you become the distant wind that descended ever so slowly, tiptoed down the path and slipped through the cracks of the panes and door to press its cheeks and lips against my hair, chin and eyelashes/
Maghrib ini dalam doaku kau menjelma angin yang turun sangat perlahan dari nun di sana, bersijingkat di jalan dan menyentuh-nyentuhkan pipi dan bibirnya di rambut, dahi, dan bulu-bulu mataku
in my prayer tonight you become the beating of my heart that has so patiently endured what seems limitless pain and faithfully revealed one secret after another, the unending song of my life/
Dalam doa malamku kau menjelma denyut jantungku, yang dengan sabar bersitahan terhadap rasa sakit yang entah batasnya, yang setia mengusut rahasia demi rahasia, yang tak putus-putusnya bernyanyi bagi kehidupanku
i love you, and for that reason, will never stop praying for your well being/
Aku mencintaimu. Itu sebabnya aku takkan pernah selesai mendoakan keselamatanmu
*given by pak iyan "the inspiring teacher" -dwizan-
to my restless soul
please take some rest
relax
let the pain go away
may tomorrow you'll be restful
good night
sweet dream
sleep tight
don't let the bed bugs bite
i miss you now and then
truly i hate myself when my mind is overwhelmed by the thoughts of you
without knowing whether you are thinking of me or not
just like today
when i started my day missing you
i tried to get my mind rid off it
so i started to remember all the stupid things you did
the way we yelled at each other
the reasons you made me cry
the simple things that you did wrong
the hatred that i felt for you
coz you're not here
coz you're not around
coz i miss you like s***
then i give up
the harder i try the deeper i fall
you made me..
then i realize that
the more that i hate you the more that i love you
i hate myself for loving you this much and more
i hate myself coz i could fall for you over again
have you ever been in love?
so much deeply in love
desperately in love
that was the moment when....
you can't pass a single day without him/her besides you
you can't identify yourself without putting his/her name on it
you lost yourself in his/her charm
you lost your way when you're not holding his/her hand
you lost your mind when you stop thinking about him/her
you care so much about him/her
you care so much about being with him/her
you care so much about making him/her happy
you care so much about showing him/her how deep your love is
in his/her eyes
you see your faith
you see your future
you see the real you
you see your heaven's being created
you see your dreams come true all at once
yes i have
once i was desperately in love
then i realized that it was just too much
too much love
too much to care
too much to bear
too much to share
then...
i'm too afraid of falling
i'm too afraid of failing
i'm too afraid of hating
i'm too afraid of loosing
i'm too afraid of cracking
i'm too afraid of everything or nothing
so, i let it go
they say, i should just let it flow
but i let it go
once and for all
i've ever been in love
that much
and it was just too much
here i am lying between you and him it is you that i love it is he that pouring all the love for me it is you that i miss it is he that fulfilling all my story it is you that i adore it is he that makes me a princess it is you that i want it is he that holding me tight in his arm it is you that i dream of it is he that occupies my reality so here i am lying between you and him i always wanted to be yours but it is he that i belong to
Love is when your lust is fed. When your dreams come true outside your head. When the sun above you smiles and nods. And you've found real peace against the odds. Love is when your heart is tumbling, when you feel the earth beneath you rumbling, when you pray and light shines down upon you, and you sparkle with hope to all around you. Love is when you found a place, where you filled with joy an empty space. when your words are true and you speak with pride, And you leave spies mouths open wide. Love is what you breath and eat, when you feel it tingle down to your feet. When you look in ones eyes and you see your fate, and know from now that life will be great. Love is when the angels smile, when you dream of mermaids in the Nile. When anything you doubted is suddenly clear, and peace of mind replaces your fear. Love is what we dream upon, when we're stuck and don't know how to move on. When its your very hands that shake, and you know the next move you should make. Love is here in front of your eyes, just look,you'll see I speak no lies. Love's all around you ,inside and out, cuz if God is there then love is about!
for not loving you as much as you do for not loving you as lovingly as you do for not loving you as sincerely as you do for not loving you as deeply as you do for not loving you as long as you do
i said i'm sorry for loving you just this much for loving you just the way i do
i said i'm sorry so often i feel complete without you so often i feel free without you so often i feel happy without you so often i feel comfort without you
i said i'm sorry so often i feel i don't need you so often i feel i don't feel you
i said i'm sorry would you please forgive me??????
so many thoughts and feelings that i have for my students i really am a teacher but i learn a lot from my students suppose i can say a word or two to thank them to show them how worthy they are to me but the following poem may have glaring presentation of mine to my students who are like YOU
Students Like You
With students like you, teaching is easy I look forward to each day; Your wondering minds keep me on my toes; You make teaching more like play.Students like you make teaching rewarding; When I go home, I’m content; You pay attention, you learn—giving me A sense of accomplishment.Thank you for being the way you are, For making my job so much fun. I’ll remember how good you made me feel, Even when my teaching is done.
In a far distance away We're holding and longing to each other Counting the nights without Wondering of how many days should we wait for each other hands To reach To hold To be Together
In the darkest night you've sailed Through the hardest day I live You and I We Just Remember.....
