Ten latest short poems

1.
Subway
Nine o'clock in the morning
I'm leaving from your city
I'll leave the memories there
And I don't know
What should I say?
Because longing is always waiting At
the subway station
The one in your city.
2.
Salt Wounds
Salt wounds on your body
"Of course it doesn't exist, right?"
Because everyone
It has become water droplets
On coral fragments
Yes, that salt wound
It's very difficult for me to interpret
And finally
Everything turned to stone.
3.
Ripple Waves
The clouds sway
Water falls on flowers
While you,
Request a sailing ship
Dock immediately
To welcome
Love collector
By bringing
Bitter memories
Who fell
Above the waves.
4.
On Nada
I'm always wise
To wait for you to come
I like keroncong music
Also jazz, so you
Always in the tone
What I play, while
I looked at the rainbow
In the sky spread out.
5.
Kencana Poetry
From the gentle waves
You came bringing longing
And if you
Still feeling thirsty
Hurry up and read the poetry
What I wrote for you
Who knows the words
Can be reincarnated
Like the story of Romeo
& Juliet
In a carriage.
6.
Like Mona Lisa
Where's the taste of wine?
The one we used to have
Is it gone?
Because of howling wolves
It always hurts the night
Until all the longing is gone
Until morning
Perhaps, we need sightseeing
And forget love
Stoned by the wind then fell
Which can't come back again
So sentence
"The silence of the night always
carries a gentle message
Like on Monalisa's face"
7.
Sweet Taste at Night
Plisplanan berjois
Stupid consumer
Abstruse philosophy
Friendly collapses
So it's about love
No need to make it
Drunk again
You say we know
What is there to worry about? Maybe
a dream
It's a sweet taste
Which is hard to forget
When he entertains sleep
In the evening.
8.
Tears
Those little screams as if to break it
apart a piece of rock which squeezes
the body and if it's just that a
reminder, perhaps we were there too
saw people fall down because the
body is injured with tired tears looking
for a place, where about to be shed.
9.
Vibrating Dew
I've forgotten everything
About us ever visiting
To a place at dusk
While we look at the birds
who want to go home
Bamboo grove
Oh, you
Fallen dew
Do you still miss it?
To reside
On the branches, if still
Let you be vibrating
For a little song of longing.
10.
Marina in love
Twelve o'clock at night
Your city at the peak
of the full moon
And can
I Take you there
Even though
I know it's a cloud
I miss making it rain.
Oh, Marina
Since I was alone
You are the flower
Which never buds
Among the complaints
Which is caressed by light
In the early hours of
the morning.
