Maria Sudibyo Poems

It is a hot hot day
You have to go
And you are late
You are feeling sick
...

All the sweets give all to me
All the toys set all for me
All the affection pour all to me
All the attention shine all to me
...

It gives comfort of rest
It brings shadow of protection
It provides time of contemplation
Let the dark be the covering veil
...

If you can’t change the sun
Change the direction where you stand
River doesn’t go straightly to the sea
It flows following hills, valleys
...

O, regret
Always comes to late
Always catches in your weakest state
But you know not to let it reign
...

My love is like a dim light
Flicker desperately to keep a hope
And there you are in front of me
Offering a hand to warm the cold
...

Hujan, terus hujan sepanjang hari
Hujan yang tak henti
Seperti ingin mendinginkan bumi yang panas
Hingga kembali mengeras
...
