Captive

By Susy Ayu

your wide love like this kind
just a strait inch between the mainland and its
as far as a dandaka forest and alengka

your wide love like this kind
distance traveled salty and bitter
boundary between the shallow and deep

my heart as your prisoner
could never I prove it
that she is a virgin

On the Morning of Christ's Nativity

By John Milton

It was the winter wild,
While the heaven-born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies;
Nature, in awe to him,
Had doffed her gaudy trim,
With her great Master so to sympathize:
It was no season then for her
To wanton with the Sun, her lusty Paramour.

---------------------------------

John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, a scholarly man of letters, and a civil servant for the Commonwealth (republic) of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost. (Wikipedia.org)

Fading Joy

By Rbe Pramono

The sky is dark and cold and gloom
and thy fragrance of love to the mist disperses;
Slowly our memories creep out of the room
where once united our two universes.
Flirting my soul with thy fading smiles,
the moon launches my senses to the emptiness.
Shall I bridge the distance of a thousand miles
and bring thee back to swim in the sea of madness?
Tonight thou come to my silent rim;
oh sweet rose, I lost the wind thou breeze,
it slips away and come what may.
Hence, through the leaves I whisper my dream
and let the bees thy crimson joy squeeze
and bequeath this love to dim light to slay

Lonely

By Nona G Muchtar

there is something I don’t realize previously
that do not need to find something to hold the tears
if one day we will find there’s no the end road
and I just need to keep the sadness in my chest behind

this day was wrapped a little tough of an old tree in front of the house
if one day we actually choose our own path to arrive
most can not be kept tears at the root
and my chest into the trunk
that even many times you try to slice, only the left thumb along the segment
You may choose to be whatever
whatever, everything
the tree will always grow
and the wind kept their leaves

I'm not up on the detection of wind rattling rhythm playing.
I'm here, on the rock... staring at the horizon without
boundaries letting the wind slapped my face repeatedly, enjoying warm sun unites the deepest recesses of the soul
and the waves gently caressing my toes.
I think nothing...
I let it all sink arise following an endless poem of life.
yes, the occasional ripple breaking my reverie. but sometimes
the vortex was like a stunt that serves delicious beauty.

I'm here.

And I Remember You as the Rain

By Skylashtar Maryam

And I remember you as the rain
points are tiptoeing thin drizzle over the top of your chest gutters
then fell to my lips
lips are numb, aching wait for a jest

hurricane shade in the dry season
dry winds flying from your eyes into my tongue
an agile tongue dance sheen babble

of you who do not know the way home
about which I can only remember

face in the rain

After the Death

By August Suhardono

Always a surprise
that bring memories to follow, the light flickering.
Why did they enter it. Like a blurry picture television spots.
Silently dripped gently on an electric substation.

Slowly go without knowing in a twilight of the rainy season
the leaves are still not want to say hello.
They are like a sheet of paper which scratched from an old record.
Many of the names listed in a quiet, cool.

Still available to enjoy the beauty of your days
but the shadows were more real than the tired bodies.
The cowboys of the hero does not really matter anymore
shelter behind all the power and arrogance.

Don’t strip me in the open dark taste

I gave up on the wides chest
Let me love you through the steps doings,
because it can only give ran with seeds embedded reins

I love you,
lustful

Waiting for burning drought withered
Be a lantern in the chaos page

Mirror

Although sometimes feel regret ever kept longing; done in vain and useless act
it's just that he walked straight without finding a mirror to stop, simply pass reportedly
so to whom he was stepping

hihi haha hehe

reflections laugh at their foolish
'trying to raised to right, you must lift the left' he exclaimed full of silliness

Always take care of you,

Light

By Sitok Srengenge

For you perhaps my attended just fictitious, though I’m not far from you
I dwell inside, is like a fire that animates the furnace
For you can be anything you want, I hope you did not hesitate my attend

Every time I watch outstretched wings that overlay an area of the universe
Translucent hands touching objects so bright
Despite the love, hate and lies, always as ephemeral mirage

I glory in the heart, in thought I was intelligent, in a follow-me beauty
I'm pointing the way, my spark of hope. Uncover the veil of knowledge,
explain my understanding. Relieve my footsteps to freedom
I'm light, making it a virtual muddy, give love

I was the rainy season, weeping bitterly begging sun series
I weather the night, the moon shined bright for the clamp
Shoots like a yearning, I swerved to reach you in vain
Flattery the body, snap soul, until one day I was devastated after dusk

True light radiating from within
Bright light outside only faint reflections
If your eyes closed universe dark
Undoubtedly an expert body when the light goes out

Mother and salted fish bites

By Febby Sahla

about mother and child on the archipelago over there

It's about the lights of the capital that we see see her twinkling. Children without protection when held in the motherland and limp without a power vacuum when cold infiltrates the soul.

Their face was so pale that no trace of a smile. Meretricious whatever dogma is so strong hit, already decaying wisdom merged in order that increasingly destroyed.
But, while enjoying the salty fish are served, my face never lost. The look on a map of every field that love I made sure never worn even more inflamed liver.

Son, Mother's not cracked... stay with you looking at, as each mouthful of salted fish trays too slowly, enjoy every chew's, was no less grateful for every crumb in an... I gently wipe the water pooled in the bitterness. Whatever sustenance served us right now.

Mother looked dazed and disheveled in a face-to-lip quiver.
Mother was a fierce thunderstorm, which delivers only have pity.
Although not so tough now, a simple prayer songs remain on the sidelines of the lake was stagnant, and love is not pinned to imagine.

This last mouthful of salted fish and rice that cools...
If no box is left later or deposits that do not live in fear, Mother's testament containers and lids of gratitude in the man of submission. Not worth it... but not difficult when you put it at the heart box and every time you open the lesson again.

{From the street on the way to learn to map any crumbs into learning}

Read it fears

By Malika Hasan

For him, every day is rainy
Who nailed the earth with fears
Song of the mountain, the vibration of trees, plants whisper
Is torture

Somehow he soak the sand with the sun
The sea behind the hills, groaned, and then die
White-backed fish, slanted eyes
Poking the boat looked lost, his mouth locked
Similar statues mossy, frozen Prophets

Perhaps in this life, travel time not as blue as Lake Sentani
Feels more lonely bitter gall, from the death of seals on a raft
Skin smashed
Just like an elegy:

A young fisherman rusty ribs
A grain of salt helpless in the stomach is full of fire
Witnessing his father's eyes glittered
Wives claim to love children
But the plant thorns, deceptive web of its own

The days were so faithful, waiting for the witch offer sunflower seeds
Then caress ash and dust settled on his self-

Does not he realize?
This is the month of May tearful drizzle
Hordes of middle-aged men want to return to the womb of the mother
"There is no sadness there, the place is paradise!"

From a distance, the sound of black hawk down sobbing at the foot of the old gods
Drifting without form, unable to rotate the earth
Everything becomes fears in his own mind
And he, silent in the noise passion
Sensing her figure filled with beetles, brown and red

Instantly silent sea,
Many thousands of flying fish to hide, like the waves of calm into the mist
He was rushed to weigh a handful of heart, oh like myself

The man with the clay body, sculpted on mangrove roots
Without a voice...

Look in the Full Moon Eyes of Ima

By Skylashtar Maryam

I'm looking for full days behind the eyes, Ima
had embeddable night, possibly abducted and missing rain
which clearly did not find any single fluorescent light in between the eyebrows and cheek
smooth cheek, which was always making out that red
full now sow drops
while the stalk was not one star that I could reap
not from the quivering lips
not from your breasts are blooming

will keep looking for that full moon, Ima
probably not above your belly,
not inside your warm womb
especially to your eyes...

To All Wishes

Calendars do not have a name day
Maybe the trees will not know
A leaf has fallen

When the scorching days
Touching the tip of the wet, on

In the deserted park
Little girl dancing, the empty flowers
Her eyes dent a river
which often became his dream
Glass slipper, glass cans, or the sky pink,
words like

While the firefly
Seeing the light, in twigs melancholy
Playing the yellow lights
between the glasses of beer
with the gratuitous jokes or laugh

Maybe someday wings
Hurry silent
When the tinkling sound
rolling, so the beer foam
futile

And if it does not have a name day calendar
Maybe there was someone
Calling us at the end of the curve

Bringing the day more than day
A piece of light blue ice cream, and flowers
to park empty
for each person

To all want
Green trees
And small cans
Everything is not
When no longer the name of the day

For later
Perhaps no kisses or blankets to sleep
To us

Alienation

By Ira Ginda

is the understanding of autism, to find and understand, how life should be addressed, although more time can not stop stealing sly, sneak up to the pores, pierced heart that no matter memories

so I'm looking for you, among the possibilities offered by the trip, because the weather will make recalcitrant pain we are ancient with an adult swing sun,

drizzle dripping, shivering like her the most fog dew, fallen leaves wake when dawn, then we enjoy the clay as a deduction restless pain of wisdom

is the nature of silent reading time I can not feel dark and light, and then blame the fact as a justification, we get drunk and crazy and perish perfect time to laugh pierced

ketika mencintai

By Dian Aza

Ketika mencintai seseorang, seperti kau kucintai. Benar kau, meski tak sempurna kata, kacau balau rasa, ketika mencintai seseorang seperti kau, aku menggenggam dunia. Menjadi buta, menjadi tuli, menjadi lumpuh, akhirnya mati, menjadi abadi.

Ketika mencintai, seseorang seperti kau, mestinya aku tak punya lidah, tak punya mata, tak punya tangan. Biar tak perlu kaudengar, kaulihat, dan kaubaca. Aku memandangmu berjalan mencari bunga matahari yang kutanam di langit pagi.

Aku menunggumu datang dan berkata,”Betapa buruk caraku menulis puisi.” Ketika mencintai seseorang seperti kucintai kau, biar puisi menuliskan dirinya sendiri, aku hanya tahu mencintai*

Airmata

By Bening Rri

Ketika airmataku menangis,
ketika tangis tangis berbicara panjang,
terus menerus
meremas hatimu,
merebahi dadamu,
menetesi jiwamu,
lenganmu,
jari jemarimu
bahkan di atas airmatamu...
Mungkin itulah kebahagiaan,
karena tangis tangisku adalah bayangan di cermin,
adalah itu adanya,
adalah kejujuran..!

Wasted

By Dalasari Pera

Future has arrived
Self transfer to waste
Lose increasingly fall
Peak aborted
Fall in calendar

Perverted tales dashed
Explore every inch of the corridor
Whether, where a longer
Fairy tales?
Corridor?
While singing the grief
was because the wound
It is gray about the cause
Grief was because the wound?
Injury was because the grief?
Becomes a roar that most melancholy
After a pair of eyes changing sea
Welcomes frantic deliver fear

Mungkin Malaikat Tahu

By Shinta Miranda

Ia tidak bosan ucapkan selamat pagi saat terbangun dari kembara semalam
Tiada mau diingat lagi dimana di atas bumi ruhnya melompat-lompat
Meski sering kali ia terlambat berangkat oleh hidupnya yang tak berharkat

Ketika hari bertambah tua lamanya , cuma satu tanyanya setiap pagi
Apakah ada pembeli sebungkus nasi hari ini untuk ia berangkat lagi
Mungkin malaikat tak pernah tahu, esok pagi ia tak akan kembali lagi ke sini

Kepada Seorang Sahabat II

By Ni Nyoman Resini

Karena di dahiku tertulis sejarah yang cemerlang?
aku terlambat memahami rasa pahit yang menjalar di tenggorokanmu
mari ke pusaraku, Ni...kau menggamit bathinku, mengajakku menyusuri lorong kelam dengan sepatuku yang melelahkan
tiga puluh lima tahun engkau dimakamkan pagi bisu,tanpa peringatan apapun,selain gundukan tanah merah dan setangkai mawar ungu
Duwh,warna itu mendadak membuatku sepi paling beku
tak ada lagi adrenalin yang bergolak saat kita berdua menatap foto dengan bingkai emas itu, sungguh tak ada lagi rasa cinta saat kita berdua menatap bola mata maskulin gambar itu

tulisan di dahimu melelahkanku,dan huruf-huruf terutama di jantungmu membuatku mati beku
kemana keindahan yang sering kau lukis pada raut rembulan?
terampas malam terhempas mendung
membadai
kuingin pertemuanku denganmu menyegarkan bunga-bunga yang layu dan membuka pintu hati yang terkunci
yang pergi biarlah pergi
dia tak akan pernah kembali
sudahi perdebatan kita yang selalu berakhir ricuh
engkau dan aku hanya dua kutub yang beda sejarah

Nyali...

By Ira Ginda

menuju jantung kota
ada degup yang debarnya sama

di persimpangan rambu tak menyala
pejalan bingung mengatur kakinya..

perempuan hanya berdiam di kiri
saat lelakinya telah mengubur nyali

lidah sepi menjilati knalpot kota
dengan kuasa, memainkan kartu tarotnya

anakanak terduduk lama
menunggu, dipanggil budak oleh ayahnya

mengeja kematian dulu, dengan perulangan ketidakan itu

Mendung di Dermaga

By Susy Ayu

cuma aku yang menunggumu
pada tiang kapal, angin barat dan perahu-perahu lelah
suaraku serak sempoyongan memanggil
kau tak jua datang
cuma sepi yang berjawaban
menggiring mendung

Kata sebuah Ombak

seperti kata sebuah ombak
aku akan mencapai pantai itu,
tapi disana banyak limbah, sisa-sisa pabrik
kata sebuah ombak lain
aahh... kamu memang begitu
pantai itu tetap pantai,
tak perlu memikirkannya, deburkanlah ombakmu.

Bau Kenangan

By Pringadi Abdi Surya

Tidak seperti aku: sebuah ucapan selamat tinggal menyesatkanku
ke arah yang jauh.
Rintik gerimis, gadis berpayung, dan jejak sepeda yang kuhitung
telah membawaku pada kenangan. "Baru saja musim kemarau,"
sambil membaiat ilalang di sudut jauh yang bergoyang-goyang
ditiup angin dari seberang. Rambutku juga berkibar-kibar pelan
membayangkan masa depan antara kau dan aku.

Untuk sebuah alasan, aku perlu, agar rasa sakit ketika kata terima
kasih itu meluncur dari bibirmu. Aku diam. Kau selalu bertanya, "Ada
apa?
"
dan aku menggelengkan kepala.

Musim barangkali sudah tak menentu. Gerimis barang tentu sudah
menyampaikan perasaanku. Tetapi,
sudahlah,
masih ada bau parfummu yang tertinggal di hangat sweaterku.

Rasa Itu

By Ricardo Marbun

Tadi aku ketemu cowok itu lagi, Ri..” Suri berkata begitu ceria.

Tadi di dalam kelas sangat tersiksa karena harus bisik – bisik curhat sama Wuri teman dekatnya. Menunggu bell pulang berbunyi minta ampun lamanya, mana jam terakhir bikin bete banget, siapa juga yang peduli ama segala macam... cerita – cerita jaman dulu, lagian kenapa juga pelajaran sejarah di tempatkan pas jam terakhir, siang bolong begini mulut tak terhitung menguap sampai rahang pegel rasanya buka tutup melulu.

Kamu samperin nggak?” Wuri berjalan agak lambat di tengah gerombolan teman – temannya.

Itulah kelebihanku, Ri. Aku tak berani menyapanya, malu tau?

Doi lagi ngapain waktu kamu lihat?

Suri senyum – senyum sendiri. Tadi pagi sewaktu berangkat sekolah dia melihat cowok itu, Suri sampai lupa mau melangkah, serasa ada lem merekat erat di bawah sol sepatunya, matanya lurus memandang cowok yang diam – diam telah mencuri perhatiannya. Cowok itu sama sekali tak melihat ke arahnya. Jantung Suri berdenyut lebih kuat merambat hingga ke pipinya yang mulus. Suri hanya mampu memperhatikan kegiatan cowok itu. Dia sedang membersihkan motor, mau persiapan kuliah sepertinya. Ingin lebih lama Suri berdiri memandang dari jauh cowok itu, tapi suara langkah kaki dari dalam rumah membuyarkan keinginan itu, segera dia berjalan tanpa menoleh siapa yang keluar dari dalam rumah. Suri berjalan sambil menundukkan kepalanya dia tak punya nyali melihat lebih dekat cowok itu.

Dari depan gerbang sekolah Suri dan Wuri langsung di samperin kernet – kernet bemo, jam pulang sekolah begini halaman luar sekolah seketika berubah seperti pasar, tak jarang kernet – kernet itu hanya alasan menawarkan bemo padahal mereka punya niat lain, mau pegang – pegang nggak jelas. Untung anak – anak SMP ini pintar menghindar dari sang kernet jail.

Terus kamu nggak lihat dia dari dekat? Gimana sih, Suri?” Wuri bertanya lagi setelah mereka duduk manis dalam bemo tujuan rumah mereka.

Suri mengelengkan kepalanya. Ikal – ikal rambutnya ikut terayun sewaktu kepalanya menggeleng. Wajah mudanya mulai memancarkan kecantikan gadis belia. Hidungnya yang bangir menyempurnakan wajahnya dengan kata cantik.

Emang dia cakep ya? Maksud aku mirip siapa gitu?

Cakep Ri, wajahnya itu lo lucu banget, ngegemesin. Ada mirip seperti Raffi Ahmad, Ri..

Tapi kita kan masih SMP, Suri? Jauh banget ama anak kuliahan? Gimana coba?

Suri mengamini pernyataan Wuri barusan, dia baru SMP kelas 1, sedang mahluk itu anak kulihan, tapi rasa itu pelan – pelan telah mengetuk serambi hatinya, dia sendiri tidak tahu kenapa rasa itu ada dan kapan datangnya. Yang Suri tahu rasa itu nikmat terasa memenuhi rongga dadanya.

negeri pluralis yang menuju keretakan

By Reni Teratai Air

bukankah kita telah memilih keyakinan masing-masing
lalu kenapa kau gunakan layarmu untuk mencekik, menyumpal mulut dan menutup mata orang-orang?

lalu kenapa kau lantangkan gema mu sementara kau pecut gema orang-orang lain?

atau telah kau siapkan layarmu untuk mencekik lehermu sendiri?
malangnya kita, berlindung di ketiak seragam yang takut dengan layar

Gong Xi Fat Chai

By Josephine Maria

di luar angan adalah angin dingin
yang berjalan jauh membumbung tembang
petani tionghoa menyusur penanggalan bulan
pada musim semi dengan menggarap harap

hikayat nian datang meradang
di bawah bulan pergantian tahun
berkelebat dari satu pintu ke pintu
mengitari kealpaan suangshi

kelebat menjadi sejarah perayaan perjamuan
semaraknya kembang api memercik sepi
bergelantungan lampion tanpa spion
menghadang nian shou dalam semalam

shishi meraya menuju purnama
shishi. gong xi fat chai

Pangkal Sangkal

By Josephine Maria

seperti kutukan, sepotong kelamin menikam malam
di lembah rerimbunan kupukupu membentuk oase
memajang molek sepanjang tebing, elok bertaut aurat

ranah yang liar telah membentuk benih aksaraku
yang tercampak dari kitab, mungkin milik para biara
bergelinjangan dalam desahan pasi masturbasi

alpa
aku acap mendengar bibir berkata mengapa
setelah nafsu bersanding kekal dengan kelamin
menjerit dalam sadar dari atas ranjang kawin

lesap
seketika benih dibekukan sperma saat meresap
aku terjaga , takkala orangorang serempak melayat
sembari membungkus kelamin dengan taurat

kupu lembah cukup memandang dari tebing
di kegelapan, semata mata memanjat mimpi
setelah airmatanya terusap oleh pangkal paha

sejumput kalimat

By Febby Sahla

aku datang menemu hadirmu dengan sederhana, jadi biarkanlah aku merajah tiap sisi raga bernama rasa dengan pisau cinta dan sayatan sayang dengan perlahan tanpa menanggalkan beban dan kehampaan... rasakanlah perihnya dengan segenap perasaan karena dari setiap tetes darah yang menyerta ku resapkan segenap rasa meski tak sempurna dan hanya sederhana saja, aku dan segalaku sedang menyertamu

bahumu...

ijinkan aku mengatakan sesuatu
ini sensitif
rambutmu sebaiknya digulung ke belakang
tak baik tergerai begitu

seandainya orang tahu
apakah kita, bercinta
tidak
bukan itu

bahumu, oohh...
batas antara kebutuhan lelaki
dan pikiranku

senang rasanya
melihatmu berambut pendek seperti itu,
senyumku

Kamu selalu pergi, bila kembali

Kamu selalu pergi

Pergi lagi ke tempat yang jauh dimana aku selalu memikirkannya
