Maria Sudibyo Poems

For those who love
For those who hate
For those who skeptical
For those who yearn
...

Flower of flame
Bucket of light
Trees of people
Heart of stone
...

In this world everybody is said to have right to live
But to be treated as human sometimes killing the human inside
In this world everybody can love anybody they like
But to be treated as human you can’t fall to the wrong person
...

I need to say it by word
Try to get strength and not run away
From what I’ve decided to do
I need to say it by word
...

divided
drown
thrown
crying
...

To put a name, it needs something to be memorized
To use a name, it needs someone who recognizes where it belongs
To know a name, it needs sometime to open understanding
To test a name, it needs someplace to get appropriate space
...

Don’t hide from me
I will find it soon
You can’t hide from me
I always know
...

Tear
Is like hanged wet cloth
Some looks shiny
Some looks cheap
...

I want to write a poem
Maybe it will be forever on paper
But time makes it fragile
And flame could burn it
...
