Maria Sudibyo Poems

oh, why do we forget?
because we're getting old
because it's not important
because we don't want to remember
...

to my uncle

tell me how to grieve my love
tell me how to cry out sorrow
...

sometimes I think it's not fair
you occupy my mind, my heart
my eyes, my body
without trying hard
...

I only offer story
not the truth
I only offer fantasy
not the future
...

How many tones you have when you talk
with your wife, with your lover
with your boss, with your costumer
with your rival, with your friend
...

my lord
every brave man
every sleeping child
wants to be hero
...

How many time wasted, how many
how many promises you said, to me
how many love I sacrificed, how many
how many scar scratched, my heart
...

our love like old song in cold night
without flower and wine
only you and warmth
simple sound flows smooth and slow
...
