Listen and Write 2 - Oh! Ah! by Kim Hyung Jun

Chasing you down to every tunnel, opening every red and silver door, stumbling upon Alice. But it was too dark, everything was too surreal, too suffocating. My hand was exploring every wall, hoping to find the trace of you. But it was empty. Wonderland is a lie made of cotton and candy.


Note: This one is created while listening to Oh! Ah! by Kim Hyung Jun. After reading this, I realize maybe it's more inspired by the video instead of the song itself. The video is quite Alice, don't you think?

Listen and Write 1 - Found You by JYJ

Two of my talented friends, Runi and Sindro, persuaded me to try this new writing activity that they often do, which is to listen to a song and write down everything that comes across my mind when listening. I did my first experiment by listening to Found You by JYJ. Here's the result, and I also posted the song in case you wanna hear it.

ps: I cheated teehee. There are some parts that I edited :p



Found You

The day I found you, it was when I couldn’t control these chaotic butterflies in my tummy.
It was when I saw thousands of red balloons flying high into the sky, colouring the dark clouds.
It was when each drop of rain stopped falling, frozen by the time.
It was when I no longer heard the sound of steps at night, everything was silent still.
It was when I felt that you’re the one I should put my trust on. The one I should keep my promises to.
It was when I finally found the reason in every breath, the day I found you.

Enchanter

He, a fine enchanter, has travelled
Miraculously, to this border of the heart,
where walls are cold, where doors are keyless.

What is his spell,
that is repeatedly sung?
That gracefully roams my heart?

What is his magic,
that grants me this desperate hope,
this courageous fear, this blisful melancholy?

My day is the moon, my night is the sun.
Bewitched, bedazzled by him.

Butterflies

These butterflies in my tummy
Exploded into thousands of colours
Flying to paint your grey sky

Atom

The day fell and left the throne to the moon

Your lips, endlessly wanted, spoke silence
Words were unwritten and unuttered

Only the touch of your finger was heard,
softly guiding mine to your dear soul

Every atom was intertwined,
simultaneously moving

And the time was still

The night was ours

Crushing Tinkerbell

We're chasing fairies down the alley
Beating them with glowsticks, very funny
You may ask why, we were acting like hell
Don't get surprised, we just hate Tinkerbell

The fallen

I shall not fall.

I shall not
fall.

I shall
not
fall.

I
shall
not
fall.

Fall.

A cup of tea

This solitary cup of tea
The witness of how you abandoned me

Silence climbs the night

Silence climbs the night
singing in the hour of nothingness
Silence steals the fright
humming this magic of loneliness

Remembering Cardiff

It was the day when
riot and art were one
Was it vanity?
It was glory

Tomorrow

Tomorrow
I'm just the grey once colouring your day
Just the dust once passionately sanctifying

Tomorrow
No tears should touch our way
No sorrow should accompany our parting

Untitled #5

The road is too painful, dear
Your heart shall go no further than this
The darkness is too hollow, dear
Your moon is too glorious for this

Must pacify

Must pacify
The raging desire inside
Must hide
Even bury it deep
Where loud silence be
Where twinkling darkness be
Where no one can see

The first line came from Sindro, as a part of my experiment in writing poems. A billion thanks to her and hopefully she can help me again next time :)

I just had a collaboration with E.E. Cummings. Found the link on Sindro's site, and how interesting it is! Luckily, from all the poets provided, I got a chance to work with my fav poet ;)

all in high

All in high went my feather touching
on a soft hair of far
into the down rainbow .

declining black lights ed more and ing
the lonely darkness before.

close be they than grand tower
the bright dark darkness
the dark lonely darkness .

declining dark fame at a famous heart
the weak silence before.

letters at world went my feather touching
touching the whispers down
into the down rainbow .

declining black lights ed more and ing
the holy words before.

exhausted be they than blue dark jacket
the black famous darkness
the best more n darkness .

declining best lips at a far moments
the dramatic time before.

kisses at butterfly went my feather touching
touching the leaves down
into the down rainbow .

declining black lights ed more and ing
the dramatic fingers before.

hard be they than alone love
the together sour darkness
the grey deep darkness .

declining grey drops at the high leaves
the deep touch before.

All in high went my feather touching
on a soft hair of far
into the down rainbow .

declining black lights ed more and ing
my sadness darken kisses before.

loving you is

feeling a tiny drop of rain on my finger
is seeing a glow that dances silently forever
is whispering gently each and every letter

loving you is

absorbing every pain and hope with my body,
with the very pore

Namamu

Apa arti sebuah nama
Jika ucapkannya saja
Hati ini melompat, melaju
Mendamba imajimu?

Namamu rindu
Hanya satu dan itu

Surat yang mungkin takkan pernah kau mengerti

Kau adalah

Gelombang kejut menyeruak tiba-tiba dalam hidup
dengan cepat menjadi kerlingan hasrat berpendar terangi hati
mantramu ajaib pesonakanku, jatuhkanku, remukkanku

Entah apa dirimu saat ini
tapi sesekali dentum itu masih bergejolak
kau sadar itu?

Untitled #3

Jangan tanya apa yang kupunya hari ini
Lihat ke sini, takkan ada apa-apa
Mungkin ini saatnya
ketika hampa adalah yang nyata

Lullaby

Malam tertatih-tatih tiba
Kau dan aku ‘kan berselimutkan kelabu
Sempatkah kau lihat di gelap sana?
Ada sesuatu, jangan lupa tutup pintumu

Tick tock

Astaga, jam itu berdetak
Terlalu kencang hingga tak terlihat
Siapa bisa hentikan
Kejamnya jarum berkejaran
