Ave Lilik Poems

Happiness to gain
Happiness to win

Will happiness be in vain
...

Bedazzled
was I- with your eye
Bedazzled
were you- with my view?
...

Everything just seems
to be insignificant
right now-
All that really matters
...

It must not be true
that we are seeking
perpetual happiness.
...

Breathing you
Gets me so high
Am flying up in the sky
So high that I fly
...

Third Americano-
still dreams sipping in.

Three shots-
...

Witnessing a miracle
do you have to be incredible?
What if you're just common
is it still possible?
...

The weakness in me
always agree
to seek comfortee-
and company.
...

They say that
before you die
comes a moment
when
...

Am leaving New York
and you behind
Taking an express route
hoping an easier ride
...

Now that I lit thee:
Thee shall melt
Spread thy scent
to embrace me.
...

Met a couple
both cannot see.
Their faithful dog
is leading the way.
...

Death is a lady
behind a veil
Men fear her
intimidated by her
...

Why do we walk away
if we can just stay?
Will life be more ok
just because we sway?
...

15.

A kiss
for you
is a hello
and getting to know.
...

At Little Napoly
in Carmel-by-the-sea
Wondering before coffee
if it's always gonna be
...

We were born
limitlessly
weak and kind-
But as we grow
...

I went into the room
to see if your presence
has left traces-
on the walls, probably-
...

And the truck is cleaning
picking up stories,
pieces of history,
bits of memory.
...

The idea of loving you
was so bright
it blinded my eyes
thus, I couldn't see.
...

Ave Lilik Biography

' Poetry for me is like the air. What is amazing to me is that when I express myself in my poems, others also breathe different feelings, even life into them. This tendency of poetry to change people’s lives forever simply through a pen, pad and a few choice words is an overwhelming reality for me.' Lilik grew up as a farmer's daughter and has spent most of her life in Batu, a small farming town in East Java-Indonesia. She loves traveling, writing and reading poems. As a local English instructor -teaching English as Foreign Language- she has students varied from children, teenagers to adults around East Java. She is also a free-lance interpreter. At the moment, she is again at another stop in her journey- struggling to answer life's never-ending questions.)
