Plain melodies

Simple guitar chords

Your humming to my songs

Lyrics of the heart

…and the rhymes of the moon

Make the best night music

Night music

That belongs to you and I

Closing words of “Refrain Saat Cinta Selalu Pulang” by Winna Efendi

Kahlil Gibran’s Words On Self-Knowledge

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.


And it is well you should.
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.


Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.

Tiny Poems About Love

Loving wind is to be wheez

Loving water is to be spatter

Loving mountain is to be steep

Loving fire is to be flare

Loving firmament is to cut distance

Loving you, is to be me
