Evidence Of Existence Poem by Ali Kristianto Budiman

Evidence Of Existence

Rating: 5.0


Will these words fade as the time goes by?
Will I be welcome here after this long goodbye?

This time is ticking,
And I’m still struggling
This is too much for me to take
Sooner or later I will bend and break

If I cant tame this wild chaotic world
These words will be the only thing I can hold
If I cant adapt and cope
Let this be my only hope

Even if now has become the past
I hope these words would last
If I cant no longer be found, any time or distance
Let this incomplete cartography find my evidence of existence

Ali I agree with David and Duncan both of them know what they are talking about. They are both very good poets. they have found a young sprouting poet and I have too, don't let any one discourage you/just let the pen do the work if you do this the pen will take over and you will become a true poet, like Dunan and David. cheers Sylvie
