In That Valley I Waiting For You

By Ilham Pujangga

Twilight increasingly fall to the ground
Soon the night writhing merrily
My boat silent motionless
Desolate snowy canyons

I picked up the sounds of frogs
That singging accompany my soul
Singing hum the longing
That spill all upset

In that valley I waiting for you
With the time that rolling
Your eyes that gleaming
Anesthetize the entire body

In that valley I waiting for you
Until no longer starry night

Silence

By Indy Maya Prameswari

He has been around the ocean
Successive sailing paper boats crowded
Although the waves rolled and scratched
Not at all he faded
Several times the fishermen say 'hello'
Net sulking as if to seduce his home
But he remained silent, silent
Because he just wanted to wander the ocean
In order to recognize the universe
That he was the strongest

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

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

smile

By August Suhardono

On Sunday, this is what makes happy
When the moment arrives
but tomorrow
there is still the sun shines
in the dark fog
When we must rise up and live.

All The Time

By Susy Ayu

you're my fuel barge
you jail me at your altar
my longing rose into the sky
as the prayer paper ash

when i'm drunk your incense
would you still accuse me cold and frozen?

while I waited eternal
i miss dying
frozen into a statue
in your temples
