Maria Sudibyo Poems

Little light in the dark night
Calling with soft voice
“Up here! Up here! ”
Like fireplace, like morning dew
...

One hand enough to caress, but it needs two hands to clasp
One hand enough to grasp, but it needs two hands to pull it up
One hand enough to make agreement, but it needs two hands to clap
One hand enough to create, but it needs two hands to balance
...

Sometimes we don’t realize that we have been hurt
Until the bruise comes out and turns blue
Until the wound closed and leaves scar
Until the pain numb and still unhealed
...

Power
Is like fire
It always attracts people to go and close into it
To feel the warmth, the light, the hope
...

The thing I’m afraid the most
No word interests me
No love touches me
No beauty awes me
...

Idea
is like star in the darkness of mind
It shines bright in the night
But fade when we want to bring to the dawn
...

in any perfect world you tend to create
always leave a hole for the unexpected
called exception
in any perfect world you dream to make
...
