Maria Sudibyo Poems

Will you tell your thought?
Because I'm not mind reader
I don't know your truth
...

It looks like a tradition
But it's actually a commemoration
It looks like a ritual
But it's actually a prayer
...

The world is too loud for me
The quiet sleep never occurs in night
The refreshing dawn always confusing my mind
A sound that doesn't exist
...

Mao kun, you are the star
You have beautiful light that makes people think twice
Whether you real or just the trick of eyes
That someone could be so lovely but determined
...

Dai chan, you are the sun
You have the brightest smile
That could outshine the most beautiful jewel
Sometimes it is hard to see you closer
...

You can steal my job
You can cut my payment
But you can't take
Anything more from me
...

If you never make a mistake
You will make a mistake
If you make a mistake
You will make another mistake
...

Is it so hard to talk to you?
When something is not like you want
You immediately put your defense wall
And attack me with your weak argument
...

In the bus I am staring outside the window
Catching a false glimpse of shadow from the past
I know I should not whine
When something is not like I want
...

From the bottom heart, or just a formal duty
By throwing pride, or only saving the face
Being sincere, or hidden manipulation
Would you hear my apology?
...
