Vows


Pucat wajahmu tak redupkan aura,
genggaman tangan dan tautan rasa lekat,
mengusung frase batas usia,
tenggelamkan di dasar samudera.


Keringat basahi keningmu,
lengkapi sekotak nyeri di hatiku.
Kupungut sejumlah asa baik-baik,
tanpa satu yang tertinggal.


To have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish...
