Thinking of a thing
Only one sole thing. A waste —
Of time or important?

Dandruff – haiku
Dark and gloomy sky —
Dried scalp under cold hoody
As dandruff fall off.

Circle – haiku
Moving a circle,
Connecting two dots: She is
Making a Zen Art.
I am the one holding Zen Art T-shirt and Zen Art painting. The smiling lady is the artist – the one making the Zen Art.

Purified Soul – haiku
Flesh, blood won’t ascend.
Your sacred, good breath and deed
Are reaching Heaven.
Eid Mubarak!
I’m spraying the earth and all sacrificed beings with love….
Your life is loved & purified, ready to depart to the next cycle….
May you be good beings with good Karma.
Atma namaste….
Salaaam….
Love,
Rike to the Earth & sacrificed Beings.
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar….
Laa ilaaha illallaaahu Allaahu Akbar….
Allahu Akbar wa lillaahil Hamd.

Fish – haiku ended with a free verse
Fish in frozen pond
It is swimming to the sun.
Hopes for hotter air —
Fish, water and sun —
Forming a natural cycle —
Win life together.
Fish, can you feel me
Stir the water to get you
Out of frozen pond.
Fish stare at my eyes.
They beg me to stop and go,
To find other funs.
Fish….
Me….
Life….
Like
Fish….
Water….
Sun….
Can I play with this life the I want?
I know I can.
But like a fish that can’t live in frozen pond – waiting for
The sun to melt it down.
I am a fish in a life full of water under the sun.

A word – haiku
Pronouncing good word,
Parrot is nodding its head.
When word is just word.
What does a word mean when it is uttered by a bird, it only repeating what it has heard from environment without knowing what it means. It means…. Meaning is not everything but it is more essential than just the pronounced lining letters.
Life, teach me about what essential when I pronounce a good word as I am not a parrot or any other copiers.

Scorching Month Day #9 – haiku
Brown river flows east,
Bringing rubbish, logs, deads —
Flood of west debris.

Focused – haiku
She’s bulging her eyes.
A brown dot in a ground street.
Good God! It’s a dog!
===
A story of me and my fellow creature, a beautiful dog
And I don’t know to whom I am asking these questions…. And, I find myself in the middle of a market…. Everyone is shouting, everyone is selling, everyone is focusing on what words they’re saying.
Eveyone is speaking, but no one is listening, everyone is living alone….
When I saw a dog in a steet, a dusty ground street. I asked him where I ought to go…. And, he just looked at me without a word passing by me away….
Every one is living, every one is breathing, every one is busy with oneself….
Every one is walking, but no one was stopping, just to care what life is in the other’s end….
Then I chased the dog passing by me. I said, “Hello, Dog. Where are you going? Can I go with you until the next cross roads”. He nodded his head and smiled….
Then we went ahead together. No cross road ahead we found and we decided to go ahead together until we really had to quit….
Life is about sharing even with a dog. Thank you, God for sending me a dog that has been so focused on walking down the path of life.

When all is fine,
Air, water, wind, land, wood would approve
You — to sing and dance.

Suddenly she wants —
To own a field of rice and flower.
A fragrant farmer.

Coloring Mandala – Haiku
I’ve been coloring mandalas in a book entitled Coloring Mandala 4 For Confidence, Energy, and Purpose by Susanne F. Fincher. It’s fun, really fun. And while coloring the mandalas, my imagination is unlimitedly wandering around my cosmic awareness. My fingers become relaxed as much as my mind is….
Swirling pencils
Push me to a colorful valley —
Submerged in joy.
Some of the colored mandalas, please enjoy….

Haiku – Vibration
Touching my chest
I hear throbbing pulses there —
Sign of life.
==========================
Breezing wind
Sweeps my hair and curtain, flying —
Cool air.
==========================
Coarse sand
And soil cover my skin and hair —
Earth is here.
==========================
Today I just want to emit vibration of love to all animals and underprivileged people in the world to support them in silence. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are loved, you are loved, you are loved. You are safe, you are safe, you are safe….. Mother Earth is helping you, protecting you all from harmful human beings. Be strong, be strong, be strong….. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are loved, you are loved, you are loved. You are safe, you are safe, you are safe…..

Splash of water
Gently sweeps a left shoe swaying
To the river bank

[Haiku Biografi] – [Rike Jokanan]
evening star
bengawan Solo flushed a jar
of placenta away
a nine-month old gal
ran in a speed uncontrolled
ended in a shrub
a wagon full of stuffs
carried tears and friendship away
to another mountain
colorful ribbons fly
overhead of jumpy monkeys
welcoming campus life
wrinkle skin and falling hair
glowing eyes staring at the moon
never ending gratitude
=====
bintang senjakala
bengawan Solo menghanyutkan
sebokor ari-ari
balita sembilan purnama
berlari tanpa haluan
nyungsep di semak
bak mobil penuh barang
bawa sahabat dan air mata
ke gunung nan jauh
berwarna-warni pita
beterbangan di atas monyet
jelang dunia kampus
berubah kulit dan rambut
gerlap mata menatap bulan
syukur tiada akhir
Tangerang – Bandung, 21 Juni 2011 – lepas Isya hingga dini hari
