A Dawn Message

Pada akhirnya, orang yang kita cintai adalah orang yang paling berhak tahu bahwa dirinya dicintai.
sometimes, I think how funny it is, that I have shared the so-called secret about my feeling for you with my friends (and I have A LOT of friends, thank you very much), while you are still...well...oblivious. Or so I thought.
Padahal orang yang seharusnya paling merasakan manfaat cinta itu adalah orang-orang yang terlibat dalam cinta itu sendiri, ya kan? Para pecinta. Orang-orang yang dicinta.

Apa yang sudah saya lakukan dalam hidup kamu, hei? Apa yang sudah kamu terima dari saya? Sebandingkah dengan kebahagiaan dan kesempatan bertumbuh yang sadar tak sadar kamu antarkan ke depan pintu saya? Sudahkah saya membawa manfaat untukmu hari ini, selain doa-doa yang saya daraskan untukmu tiap dini hari? 

...
yes. at the very least I want you to know that you are worth every teardrops, every prayers, every tangled emotions.
You are so worth it.

-deine Vera, jetzt und hoffentlich immer-

Der Erlkoenig (The Elf King), A Poem By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Image
One of my favourite Goethe Poem. The bleak ambience and the story makes me weep. If you don't understand German, no problem, there's an English translation down there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) Illustration of Der Erlkoenig by Frank Kirchbach Der Erlkönig Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.   "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."   "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand , Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."   "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind.&qu

Sentimental Hours

'Twas a car ride at night and old tunes from a band.  Looking out, raindrops raced on the window glass. Houses passed, red bricks and orange lights. Messages sent to radios, probably were never heard. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. 'Twas a lazy afternoon and indescribable longing. A poem hastily scribed, of a girl  peeking from behind the curtain.  There you were, a boy of pale face, of mismatched socks, of silly attire. For a while you lived there, a fixture of short future. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. You are a thousand things that were and never were :  The smell of bookstores, Murakami on the shelves, Spanish Romance from a music box, withered messages in a bottle, a smiling face on the screen, unfinished poetry written on tattered pages. Still I only dreamt of becoming, and never being. Bandung, 15 April 2020 Vera F. Maharani

Day #1 : 10 Things That Makes Me Happy (PART 2)

Greetings, random lurkers  of the dark alleys of internet, it is nice to see you again. I hope you are not waiting everyday for my post, because I have been cheating on this challenge by not posting in consecutive days. But trust me, I have prepared this post for quite some time.  So let's just forget my inconsistency, and on to the part 2, shall we? Credit : This post was written (and posted) after urging from Aulia Dewantari. Go check her entries here .  For the first part of my post, click here . 6.Germany win in a major competition Actually it doesn't have to be major competition. My mood escalates drastically every time the German national football team win a match, no matter how trivial that match is. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when Germany won the 2014 World Cup. One of the major reasons why I think 2014 is among the best year of my life so far. Some of you might think, why Germany? That, my friend, is a hard question. You might need to subje
