Lagu Rindu

Pada tetes embun selaksa kali menggores batu,
Pada air mata yang silih berganti bersihkan kabur,
Pada malam sejuta bintang tanpa sulam cahaya bertirai fana,
Pada liukan jalan berjenjang tatkala hijau meraba,
Pada gersang ketika ingin dahaga membelai rasa,
Pada kelam yang punahkan kesangsian di jiwa,
Pada marah dan siksa yang berujung cambuk pendobrak sukma,
Pada hampa swara swasana sisihkan gurauan lantang menggoda,
Pada dera mencerai menerpa bisikkan sutra terhunus duri petaka,
Pada badai, petir, ombak menyambar menguji bahtera,
Pada cacian hina durjana berhias tiara berbias takhta...

Setiyo W. Widodo, 16/5/2009., untuk orang-orang terkasih.

Flattering

When I go down you catch me in
When I'm away you send a prayer
When I get lost you trace me back
When I'm asleep your angel guards
When I'm awake you never leave

It's when only hope can fill the room

It is never too late till it is late

When the Three Musketeers spell "all for one, one for all", no bullets or swords will hurt. Though aging times shadows, though exhausts bruise their fleshes and bones.
Fighting for the honor in agony, easing the paralysed hope of their fellows. They stand on pain, the stand on wound.
One for all the messages, which say "never give up!". All for one hope, "nothing's impossible".
The kit they wear is the kit of million tears and joys. The kit they wear is one that denies impossibilities.
When the Three Musketeers step up to the battlefield, their hearts are greater than their fellows' dreams. Their blood runs faster than our nervous skins.
If they should die, I want them to die with honor badge around their shoulders. As what they've done so far has been great.
Tribute to the Three Musketeers of Rossoneri: Paolo Maldini, Massimo Ambrosini, and Filippo Inzaghi.
FORZA MILAN !
