Maria Sudibyo Poems

The authoritarian only wants praise
The shy scared about what they’ll say
The confident wants to prove
The humble with get improved
...

There again
I saw your other face
I saw your other expression
That I never had before
...

Nine immortal chosen
Beauty and longevity
Love and hope
Name and curse
...

In interview
There are two or more emotions working
There are two or more minds and ways of thinking
There are two or more personalities talking
...

Look up the sky
Look at the stars
They speak to me
About silent cries
...

Help me, help me
My love was gone
Tell me if you find
My mind’s now blind
...

Many nights
Many fears
But hush-hush
Tell nothing more
...

Don’t open your eyes
But set your ears wide
Pretend you heavy rest
But don’t lower your guard
...

You adore me like sunlight
You give me all of your love
But I don’t have the same feeling
You are my friend
...
