Cycle of the clock
Irisa May 2021
The future that disguised in recent-like moment
and it swiftly turns into past
Time feels slow
but unknowingly fast
471 · Feb 2021
Best day:
Irisa Feb 2021
There is a worst day awaits
for that day to be pay off
432 · Sep 2021
Past
Irisa Sep 2021
I still taste the past
Lingering in my day
I thought thing that had over wouldn't last
But it still there along the way
Even if I forgot
Its existence wouldn't simply erase
Even if I remember
As a mere memory, only in my mind it stays
417 · Feb 2021
One
Irisa Feb 2021
One
It's one
And never be two
You never know
It's you
You’re the first and the last who come
To me

It's one
And there is none after
It's always you
Not others
You’re the first and the last would be
For me

Learning
Irisa Mar 2021
Mouth is shut, let it be silence and peace
Listen to the voice that will guide us how we speak
The intonation that you imitate for that is
the basic to get the knowledge that we seek
361 · Feb 2021
Good failure
Irisa Feb 2021
Failure gives more to experience
That's why with it we grow resilient
347 · Jun 2021
Do Not Quit
Irisa Jun 2021
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the chances are low and the demands are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When all is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you could never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems far,
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit
331 · Mar 2021
Reason
Irisa Mar 2021
If you come to be the reason
Then I will take the excuse
Handling whatever that could happen
For that it is a result I can't refuse
296 · Dec 2023
Andai
Irisa Dec 2023
Mungkin saja dunia ini benar-benar membenciku
Andailah aku boleh memilih untuk tidak bertahan
Tetapi tiada jalan selain berjuang
295 · Apr 2021
Priority
Irisa Apr 2021
Letting yourself stay only at the bare minimum
Not having yourself bear the weight of your own expectation
Giving most of you, little by little, piece by piece
After the long run, it seems like you vanish
But actually you spread all over everywhere
293 · Mar 2022
Fight
Irisa Mar 2022
Success is not final
Failure is not fatal

Rise from where life trampled you over
Defeat, first, not the enemy but your own fear
286 · Dec 2023
Grand
Irisa Dec 2023
Being happy is grand
A poor me can't afford that
Still the heart has its right
To feel whatever there
So when happiness is given
True it won't be long
So appreciate the moment
Before it'll forever gone
281 · Jul 2021
Dawn
Irisa Jul 2021
When the weight of your own soul feels like too much to bear
In the darkest of night, where the stars shine brighter than ever
And each one will lead you into the dawn
264 · Feb 2021
Breaking point
Irisa Feb 2021
When you silent to agree or argue
When you work but keep fail
When you stand just to fall
When you live but not alive
264 · Feb 2021
Escape
Irisa Feb 2021
Reality hits with " do you really think you can run away in the fleeting moment?"
At least, I escaped even for only a second
222 · Aug 2022
Regret
Irisa Aug 2022
If ever time could turn back again
Would I not make the same mistake?
Walking through different lane
Could've this heart of mine not ache?
222 · Feb 2021
2F
Irisa Feb 2021
2F
In your day, consider,
when something or someone
comes into your life,
Whether as a fact or fantasy
221 · Jan 2021
Seamless clouds ripple
Irisa Jan 2021
Like another ocean
With another light
Of another star
After another night

Hope
Irisa Jan 2021
"Can you hear it...this melody, the wheels of fortune are already turning.
Can the capriccio leading to destruction be stopped,I wonder.
O sorrowful warriors who must bear the cross known as peace, by the violent hands of a creature who knows not love , our paradise has been transformed into a chaotic nation where control is non-existent.
There is no way to end this calamity but to ask for you help"
156 · Mar 2021
Real
Irisa Mar 2021
Reality is not the villain
But it is what we always blame
Become real is sure hard
As dream is smooth and easy
That's why the real one last longer
Than the fleeting fantasy
151 · Jan 2021
Last bright
Irisa Jan 2021
They witnessed her destruction
Then were left to wonder why
She saw nothing but darkness
Though the stars shone in her eyes
But maybe they do forgotten
When they failed to see the cracks
That a star's light shines the brightest
When it is starting to collapse
149 · Apr 2023
Note #07
Irisa Apr 2023
O happiness
where else do you know it reside?
It is there in the past of your present
And could it be the last
148 · Jan 2021
Taste
Irisa Jan 2021
It is bitter
So bitter, life is
Yet we ought to
swallow it
147 · Apr 2023
Earthly creature
Irisa Apr 2023
Age and year
Are passing through me
Changing my phases of life
And blend me into reality
Still sometimes, it'd get me isolated
From the road I walk
From the noises around
From the busyness of town
Sometimes I gaze upon the far azure color
An earthly creature
Wondering on the divine
Isn't here I born?
Why did this heart long for the sky?
144 · Sep 2021
Into the night
Irisa Sep 2021
Behold the golden cracks of the dusk clouds
As the sun's falling below the horizon line
And the dark paint of night brushes across the sky
Its layer gets deeper
Until everything turns into a pure blankness
Ought to seek for the moon and stars
All of those that beam
Cause this entity of pitch black wideness
Is beyond my capability to handle
That my eyes alone could not hold its far
141 · Jan 2021
Inside the mind...
Irisa Jan 2021
There is tomorrow in today
And past in tonight
141 · Dec 2021
Here and nowhere else
Irisa Dec 2021
Step on the hard ground
Be where you're bound
Where else would you be living
And what's more can you do
Other than in this world where your life is given
And here is where your life is taken back too
140 · Jun 2021
Limit
Irisa Jun 2021
Matured
Like how ripped fruits is more likely
To be picked
Society's idealism is the maturity in an individual
It has been a standard that we must reach
And is even more favoured if we exceed
However, sometimes, when we push ourselves
Beyond the line
We fall as parts that can not be mend
We pass the line that meant to be our end
136 · Feb 2021
Still not late
Irisa Feb 2021
It feels like the world is turning
A little too fast
Holding on to what I get
To make this moment last
134 · Mar 2021
It stains
Irisa Mar 2021
Whatever you had done
What you left
There's prints
It becomes your past
That you bear all along your life
134 · May 2021
Disappeared
Irisa May 2021
Even though I see you
I feel far apart
I tried to reach you
But all I grasp is a piece of my broken heart
Is that really you
Or just my hope is too high?
Are you gone...
Or never there in front of my eyes?

Facing the unexpected...
Irisa Jan 2021
It is okay if different road appear

Don't be afraid of another path ahead

With the last strength you hold

Seek your future unfold
129 · Dec 2023
Clouded
Irisa Dec 2023
At times, these thoughts become not mine
It is all kind of stuffs of anger, unsatisfied feeling, sadness and excuses
That made simple thing
Way complicated
Far deviated
But though I knew
It consumed my own voice, my very word
Made my language die
129 · Feb 2021
Complicated
Irisa Feb 2021
There is power to turn the table
But what will give you greater sorrow
when it is not allowed, but  you are capable
Or you are unable, yet they allow
129 · Feb 2021
Optimistic
Irisa Feb 2021
Why do people matter
more about failure
when success is a part of
future as well?
128 · Jan 2021
It shines despite the rain
Irisa Jan 2021
It is raining tonight
The view seems blurr but it still bright
How does moonlight piercing
Though the wet mist of cold clouds
126 · Jan 2021
You should...
Irisa Jan 2021
Love the shine, love the rain
Fond the well, fond the pain
Adore your life and everything you gain
Keep memories, let your strength maintain
Step into tomorrow and strive again, surely good you will attain
126 · Jan 2021
The hot coal
Irisa Jan 2021
Burning like an ember
Though I'm not a fire
Glowing with my little gentle light

Living as an ember
Keep you a bit warmer
Even if it is not much

Only as an ember light
Couldn't make a brighter night
At least in the gloom
You could see I gleam
126 · Apr 2021
Bad News
Irisa Apr 2021
Though I pushed it away
Though I deny
It's true what they say
Then, I can only cry
126 · Apr 2021
Starting new journey
Irisa Apr 2021
You got to take your crown off now
Will face a life where you don't know how
You can no longer hold throne
Will set off to the land that is unknown
125 · Dec 2023
The love I know
Irisa Dec 2023
No love is definite cause love is infinite
Not worthy of love you say easily
Not knowing the love God bless you with endlessly
With His mercy, His care, His gentleness
You spoke such words when you don't even know how love is
Love is not a thing of possession
It is a smile of a mother to her child
Laughters with your friends
When your mistakes are forgiven
When you're in need of help, someone gives a hand
Love is... The silence people choose instead of getting mad
So the relationship is not shaken by mere anger
Love is... When you do kindness in secret
not for the feast of the eyes
Love is... Not limited to romantic affection
It is even the smallest gesture
With the sincere feeling in their heart
To show you
Or to act to themselves
This is what we are
A family
Friends
Partners
Lovers
Creatures
125 · Jan 2021
Miserable
Irisa Jan 2021
That moment tears dripped down
In linear line
Crossing the dark circle under the tired eyes
Making wet trace on the dry check
Tightly the lashes closed
Squirming hard, full of desperation

And the eyes faintly opened back
Glistening
Like glasses reflecting tiny light
It is about sparkling
Yet the eyes felt burning as it burst
The pale lip shivered,
Words stuttered

Run On
Irisa Feb 2021
She ask, " How does it feels to run for a living?"
"Well... It is a breathless feeling"
Then, his explanation continue...
"When you run, you don't actually care about things behind...
The only thing that matter is what's right in front of you...
Normally, it would be the finishing line
But today, it is you."
She thought his world is all fine
Yet those words he utters give her the clue
The worlds of these two start to align
122 · Jan 2021
Pondering... You
Irisa Jan 2021
As a loner I stay
And alone I stray
From the crowd I walk away
As I lost at the end of day
I find myself gazing upon
the line of the ocean and the sky
'Limit' is what I see but not I know
'Dream', I look for you high and low
Could I find you when night falls
Would you be hidden in the stars
If I give you my all
May I go to where you are
121 · Jan 2021
Me
Irisa Jan 2021
Me
A cry.. In cold and hazy light
About to be devoured by darkness and despair
Although the sky already pouring, her eye can go no longer bearing
Conscious that wasted on reality calculation
Exhausted, when there's the possibility of it was beyond salvation
Silence.... Deep one
Numb, dumb.... This foolish girl is still here, trapped
Thinking of how desperate I want world to favor me, with fact that world is only Dunya that is really long but ain't eternity
It's hard and just getting harder
Am I get used of running away? No good
It's not like that will lead me to a good escape....
121 · Jan 2021
Dear friend
Irisa Jan 2021
What lies within a friendship
Is only bond and connection

How it started is an incident
Whereby how it ended is a mystery

The feelings throughout it are natural
Its days are usual

Its memories are mutual
Its long-last is miracle

With whom, are given
Might be I am a decision that you don't regret
Or you are a devotion that I truly appreciate

You, my mirth and misery
I live in your life just as you live in mine
120 · Aug 2022
Murky clouds
Irisa Aug 2022
Sky is gloomy
It cries and groans
There are blizzard and storm
Showing to the whole world
its pain and sorrow
The earth wets with its tears
Even the sky...
Let go of what for it too much to endure
120 · Dec 2023
Reality
Irisa Dec 2023
All that I cherish
All that I love
They are my reality
Even losing them is also
My reality
119 · Apr 2021
Towards light
Irisa Apr 2021
Look at the ray of sun
It seems like a route, golden one
119 · Apr 2023
Dear diary...
Irisa Apr 2023
I hoped he wouldn't notice
If not, it'll be a shame
Had he knew I loss focus
When I turn at him upon hearing his name
Had he knew I froze from awkwardness
When my eyes accidentally got up to his
We are definitely nothing
And I **** all my hopes and expectations
There's not a thing left so please
Stay in the different frame
For at least
I can just look and admire
Just this far and not nearer
