A Night Of Questions Poem by Geger Riyanto

Does life has color?
Yes. And it is lovely.
Now, ask me another nonsense
Because, perhaps, I love you
I love you and, yes,
Stars grow on the sea
Wind loves to sing and
Horizon drawn by pencil
My pencil

Oh, such folly and
The long road home and
The failed silence.
On this night of questions
Silly, wondrous questions
My breathless mind wonder
If the confession could stay,
Like my throbbing heart,
Forever inside
Was a smile a confession?
Was gazing at your
Heavenly eyes
A confession?
Was my burst of joy
Deep beneath
A confession?

The sky is lifeless
I know
The water reflection of the city
We could not live there
You know
But let us dive down there and, perhaps,
We could laugh together
To our foolishness
And what matters more
Than that?

Ask me again- as senseless and dumb
As it could be
We could be doing the most difficult
math equation now
But, why?
The questions
More than anyone we already know,
They would stop
The unpretentious felicity
Gone- be as we know it would be
Then, again, I will awake to the pain,
To the curse, to the suffocation
To a loss that lasts forever
For a hapiness that lasts seconds

Thus, let us take the seconds
That is ours
The innocence
That has yet to be betrayed
Ask me and let me tell you
What the night whispered to me
And, no, she will not stay
longer with us
But, yes, she will cherish us
As I couldn't go without cherishing her

Ask me because I know
Every meaningless answer to everything
Everything
But one
One question
That I know
Would never be asked
One question that
I long or I don't long
I don't know
But the answer, perhaps,
It is an answer
That never need the question
An answer that perhaps come
On the day that would
Or would never come

Ask me just because
On this once, this very moment
I'm still with you
And you're still
With me
