Embracement of Dreams

I hear the whine of people singing my name pretending everything is fine hiding in their own shame Disgusting the very stance of vanity, wiltting flowers who seek the pleasure of glance of beauty from criers Then finally blushing red within the very voice of Love from the sweetest lad in short, dreamless sleep I have Days sicken every fiber of my beings and I'm searching for darkness where there are no moan and feelings only Love I brought from sickness Then finally find him there waiting in the quiet battlefield smiling so true everywhere and his soft face become my shield In his embrace I shall rise

Embracement of Liest

I sit here in the middle of existence questioning the very truth of life trying to understand every changes and lies are my company When all reasons is fading sins and awe know no bounds I'm trying to listen and to believe and lies are my company Real pains feel so true while faraway Love feels so far I don't know what can save me and lies are my company Facing every perilous enemy with reasons as shields and armor defending thousand piercing words and lies are my company When all my shield broke armors breached and sword fell with no castle to return to and lies are my company I became the witness of truth and hopes of every grandest dreams that will soon perish and lies are my only company

Red Lullaby

Come, Princess of Rose Step to your chamber Away to the bed of slumber. Let the veils turn close. I'll sing you the song Of macabre and tombstone. Sleep, my rosy tone. See the Love you miss so long. Bade your dress of lace. Close your eyes benerath the Red. Sweet, give me your sweet pet. I'll sing of your sweet face. Dear my Rose, see you again In eternal dream and shadow. Go to the silent meadow And wake up in the land of foreign. Dear my Rose, dream of me' Beside you I'll walk the way To your dream I'll go away. Sleep, my Love, I'll always see.

The Last Wish

if I try to describe this silence, no voice over my head silence, no authority instead my point of view became a hiss and if I try to utter the word fight, is what I've been doing fight, no more battle and fighting the blue have reached my lonely world that we should keep our promises I know that proverb far too well and I saw the tiring battle so well maybe my hope already faithless all the blood and sweat I tear and those of them in my skin my sword fell, shield running thin the ground is near, but I feel no more fear if there is death between lives if there is lie between deeds I want them to know I fought hard if there is doubt between steps if there is tear between sins I want them to know I believe if there is Love in world then I've seen it

THE RAIN IN JUNE

Nobody resolute Rather than the rain in June Its yearning-drizzle is hidden To the tree which has bloom Nobody wise Rather than the rain in June His footprints is erased Which hesitant in the way Nobody skillful Rather than the rain in June The unspoken thing is ignored Absorbed by the root of the flower tree source : Sapardi Djoko Darmono

ONE DAY LATER

One day later My body will die But in the distich of this poem I wouldn’t acquiesce you alone One day later My voice wouldn’t be heard again Yet among rows of this poem I will steadfast investigate you One day later My vision will be unrecognized again Yet, in the letter cracks of this poem I’ll look for you forever
