TELAGA KISAH

"aku ingin melompat dan renangi telaga kisah kasihmu," terdengar suara entah dari belahan jiwa sebelah mana menghilir lirih. "bukankah kita telah berbasah basah?". "hmm ya, baru sebatas percik..." lalu kita pun berbahagia. bersama berenang di telaga kisah itu. kita, meski sebentar, benar benar telah menyelam didalam telaga. tak hanya celap celup percik. tak hanya kecipak goyang tapak tapak kaki. guyur deburi daging tubuh dengan kata kita. sebab ia-lah doa, gigil rinding yang rindang. direndam kisah kasih telaga warna. sapa kita ialah rintik airmata baur. serupa bulu bulu angsa menulisi buku harian, genang bulir air mata, senyum dan celupan jari jari, deraskan larik larik cerita hingga pasangsurutkan ketenangan telaga. di rindang daun pepohonan doa, di setiap relug dan damai kisah kasihNYA **********( dimuat di antologi puisi: Senja Dibatas Kata) ***** bandung Juli 2011.................
