With Heart Into Art, Then Art Into Heart: August 2009

Deacy

Baksa Kembang Dance is one of traditional dance from Kalimantan Selatan. It describes some pretty girls having fun in the flower garden. They pick up flowers, make bunch, then dance with it happily.

The history tells the dance was beginned in Kingdom of Banjar, restricted for aristocrate (princesses of kingdom attracted it). Afterwards, it extended so folks able to learn it too. Danced by group of girls called "galuh banjar" for entertaining empire family.

Nowadays, Baksa Kembang Dance showed in a welcome ceremony for honour guests and celebration days as well. Usually played a group with uneven amount e.g. one, three, or five girls. The beautiful dance use hand properties called "kembang bogam" which is couple bunch of rose, jasmine, kenanga, and kantil. You should be mesmerized by its softness.

For your information, when still young, my mother was great in dancing it and other Banjarese dance. With, my dad played music behind.... Hmmm, how romantic...

Now, she give dance training as extracurricular lesson for girls of junior high school.

Ok,that`s all my review about Baksa Kembang Dance. Hope you`ll get chance visit my lovely city to see this beautiful dance and other amazing traditional art. Just enjoy it!

Kryptonite

Deacy

By: Guy Sebastian

From the very second baby I already knew
I'll end up head over heels in love with you
Turns out I'm right

I couldn't tell if you were feeling what i felt for you
So i nonchalantly tried to play it cool
I'm tired of lying

But i get lost when I look in your Eyes
Cos my love is so hard to disguise

[Chorus]
Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing i can do
So I'm giving up tonight
Cos baby you're my kryptonite

Cos i can't stop thinking of you
I'll be trying not to love you
I'm helpless, girl it's true
So I'm giving up tonight
Cos baby you're my kryptonite

You're love is like a pendulum that's swinging side to side
Got me in a spell and now I can't deny
Girl I'm hypnotised
Cos baby it's the same tomorrow, yesterday, tonight
And i swear that nothing's ever felt so right
I'm yours for life

I get lost when I look in your eyes
Cos my love is so hard to disguise

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to let you go
But I can't escape the way I feel inside
Way beyond denial that we are meant to be in love
So girl I give up, yeah

[Chorus]

Beautiful song that remind me to my dear Aunt Diah.....

She told how sad she felt whenever she listen the song. At that moment, i had the same point of view with her.... I remember thought: "well, it`s titled Kryptonite - the stone make superman powerless - then Guy`s voice sounded so sorrowful"

Then i listened it carefully... Guess what? It`s an in love song!!!!

Hmm, Auntie, we have lot stories together..... I miss you... Just hope you`ll find your Kryptonite

Cast Away

Deacy

I cast away
drift in the wave
float over the foam
and dog tired

I cast away
drink a half of the ocean
my stomach puffed up
It`s give hard measure

I cast away
I just follow the sea
to find paradise island
But there`s thousand ways
and million vehicle
Hold one`s piece

I cast away
Wide sky above
I try follow the bird
they only catch the fish
CRUEL

I cast away
deep world beneath
I try follow the turtle
they only lay eggs
COLD

I cast away
Isn`t anyone trying to find me?
It`s a damn cold night
cracking my bones into pieces
I hold by the emptiness

In fear of the darkness
In low spirits
In great passion
In tears
In two minds
In the end…
CAST AWAY

I wrote this poem when I was still in high school. Ha, what a precious memory it was.

I remember about feeling in confusing and empty, so I poured it into paper…voila! That`s how this poem created. It was a periode i`ve been so crazy in writing. Seemed so cheerful with Evony and Queen Devil. We were deeply sinking down into Peter Pan`s world, weren`t we?

The Dance

Deacy

"Consciousness expresses itself trough creation. This world we live in this dance of the creator. Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on. On many an occasion when i`m dancing, I have felt touched by something sacred. In those moment, I felt my spirit soar and become one with everything that exist.

I become the stars and the moon. I become the lover and the beloved. I become the victor and the vanquished. I become the master and the slave. I become the singer and the song. I become the knower and the known. I keep on dancing then it is the eternal dance of creation. The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy. I keep on dancing… and dancing, until there`s only the dance".

It is taken from Michael Jackson`s album which belongs to Evony. When casset was still being king of music. The cover showed his eagle eyes, stab to the heart. It was his voice within. Something attracted me so much was that it`s describing how someone found his truly place in this world. He definetely in love about what he did. He merge into it. It seems so beautiful at all… I think he was one of the most gorgeous artist the world ever had… Don`t you remember that legendary peaceful song “Heal The World”… But I feel so sorry about the cases dropped into him… What an awful ending… Ouch, I don’t feel happy for it… I do…
