“Return of Innocence”
Alf Sukatmo. 2015.
Pencil on paper.

Sudikah kau diam sejenak
Tanpa membantah atau mengeluh
Hingga tertidur di sampingku
Lalu biarkan kubetulkan letak tubuhmu
Membuka sepatu
Membasuh kakimu
Menyelimutimu
      Tak lupa kulepas juga topeng cantikmu

Aku akan diam-diam memandang wajahmu
Agar kau tak terbangun
Biar kuusap
Kerut duka di sana-sini dan bekas air mata
Mengeras seperti batu kapur
Tak lama lagi kau buta karenanya
Lalu kuhapus
Gincu pada bibir yang tetap cantik saat mencium puluhan laki-laki
      Sungguh aku tak butuh perawan suci, cukuplah yang tahu diri

Saat kau bangun esok pagi
Tak akan kau temukan topengmu
Hanya ada wajah
Yang makin cantik tanpa kerut duka dan batu air mata
Kau boleh merabanya di depan cermin
Itulah kau
Tanpa gincu di bibir yang tetap cantik tanpa perlu mencium puluhan laki-laki
      Bila kau merasa lelah, carilah aku di tepian hatimu.
      Aku ada di situ

Thanks, Yaz!

Somehow I think this image totally fits that song of the same title by Enigma. Lovely!

I like Return To Innocence by Enigma. But i think song by My Dear Addiction with the same title have fit with this image as well as Enigma.

  You’re welcome, Alf. Out of curiosity, about how long did this take you to do?

    This is a small piece, an A4 (22 cm x 30 cm), Patsy. It took a day to draw this, the details on the Javanese shadow puppet (wayang) are difficult to draw.
    I usually draw the small pieces like this as my amusement while drawing the bigger artwork.

      Wow! Good for you, Alf. I usually have more than one project in the works, too. 🙂

Yang begitu indah. Sekeping pemanasan manis dan jantung penulisan.

  Why, doesn’t it work?
  - Alf Sukatmo says: 30/04/2015 at 10:18
    
    No, it doesn’t. The sentences are totally wrong.

      Thanks for letting me know, my friend.
