Pink over Jasmine

By Iwan Simatupang


(To Sitor Situmorang)

There was blood leak
Of care over jasmine
One and only one

There is a growing jasmine
In the kiss of the sea with the desert
Far so far away

Frozen blood
Jasmine wilt
Poultice glaze

There magpie on cactus
There is a cactus in the heart
There chirping spiked

Silent and only silent

Until My Heart Thrilled

By Sonny H. Sayangbati

Whisper something in my ear
tell the truth
I'm glad to hear it
although many jointed-books

Even harder
do not like dwarves
even the birds were heard
until my heart thrilled

After The Evening Prostration

By Dharmawan Pawitra

Besides my childs bed
When a self-prostration night
I found a white light moon
infiltrate through the ventilation holes
walls envelop their hearts
as soft colored power
Power of love, power fondly
While the children still asleep
After my evening prostration complete
I kissed cheeks and their little hands
last time I stroked their hair
as proof of the love of a father
from the simple bottom of the hearts
I love God, I love my children
Universe was quiet and calm

bridge

By Sofyan Adrimen

This bridge is so smooth
smooth as a whisper in the tip of the tongue
and sharp cut tangled,
whole distance with you
of each of the strands of hair
