Memories

By De Fear Destiny

Time may make us forget something previous days
But the least we do not want to forget the past
The day passed
Make us pass the time with a new sheet
Which then become the memories that could foster a new spirit

Memories are memories
Sweet memories too beautiful to be remembered
Bitter memories too hard to forget
Bitter and sweet memories That's a lesson

If yesterday was a memorable
So today is the challenge
And if tomorrow is a hope
Of course the day after a victory that got

the naive

By Hamdan Hidayat

the naive feeling on the rise
consider two markets explored
I will got upset confused
invisibility of apathetic gaping exceeded
he leadeth start
one by one fabric that I tired
tired tired of seeing this
but helpless in whole
so tired of it
not to mention how the naive
never mind it was
because we did not bring home the trophy

In a Tomb

By Haris Fadhillah

I can not remember the way home
any sign, missing
to wind the folded and
frangipani flowers in my lap
long sadness draped in a quiet, silent: suddenly felt
can not be everywhere
