Maria Sudibyo Poems

Life is a golden book
It is not enough just read once
First we cry, laugh, and cry again
Easy to come, easy to go
...

Whether you stop or start a new one
Whether you reverse or twist it
Whether you fight or run away
Rebel for a good cause and alter your life
...

Bright and clear blue sky
Running outside be bathed by warm sun
All in mercy of God
...

I forget not to remember
I forget everything is already over
It's slipping in my mind state
Like broken lock gate
...

Even though we are related with blood
Our life seems unconnected
We are reluctant to converse lightly
Like a stranger in a room
...

Just want to see other's suffering
Just look to read other's angst
So I will not admit
That this is closer than I think
...

Your flame, my flame
Who's gonna be burnt first?
Fire inside, fire outside
Who's gonna turn into ashes?
...
