Aubade, 2

Di dalam hatimu, kau meminta
Puisi yang melengking seperti anjing.
Tak ada yang lain lagi, selain matahari
Yang terbenam selamanya.

Aku berikan puisi sebagai hutan bagi anjingmu,
Bagi sepetak rumah di hatimu.
Tak ada yang lain lagi, selain taman
Yang membentang selamanya

Di dalam hatimu, kau meminta
Puisi yang deras seperti hujan.
Tak ada yang lain lagi, selain awan
Yang gelap selamanya.

Aku berikan puisi sebagai sungai bagi hujanmu.
Bagi sumur dan kolam kecil, juga taman di hatimu.
Tak ada yang lain lagi, selain danau
Yang menggenang selamanya.

Aku kenang engkau sebagai anjing
Di taman itu. Dan kau mengenangku
Sebagai lengkingannya.

[Bode Riswandi]

Like A Boy

Pull up your pants, just like him
Take out the trash, just like him
Getting your cash like him, fast like him
Girl you wanna act like he did

I'm talking 'bout, security codes on everything
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
A foreign account
And another one he don't know about

Wish we could switch up the roles and I could be that
Tell you 'I love you' but when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me, like 'Where you be at ?'
'Cuz I'm out, four in the morning on the corner rolling doing my own thing

What if I had a thing on the side, made you cry
Would the rules change up or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

Can't be getting mad, but you mad, can't handle that ?

Girl go ahead and be just like him
Go run the streets just like him
Go home missin' sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front wit' your friends, act hard when you with them like him

Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an air tight alibi
Keep it hid in the dark
What he don't know won't break his heart

If I was always gone, hit the sun getting home
Told you I was with my crew when I knew it wasn't true
If I act like you, walked a mile off in your shoes
Messing with your head again, dose of your own medicine

Here's the clutch

If I paged you, would you like that ?
Had friends, would you like that ?
With a car, would you like that ?
Hell nah, you wouldn't like that, no

What if I made you cry, would they still apply
What if I, if I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

Can't handle that ?

Eyes On Fire

I'll seek you out
Flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Feeling any foe with my gaze

I'm taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Feeling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
