Back to My Past

It's been a while since I posted "Lupa Bahasa Indonesia? Masa?" Honestly I don't have any idea after that article was posted. What should I post then? Since I have so many random night and random moment here and there, I try to arrange those randomness into poetry. This poem is written while I mused my past and see over the windows in.....KOPAJA..yes..you read it right...That greeny public bus in Jakarta. This poem is written on my way to office. I said, i have a bunch of random moments that others don't know about. Maybe some of you who read this poem will think that I write this when I fall into someone. NO NO you got me wrong. Curious? just read and follow your imagination :)

Aku ingin kau menjadi seperti

Matahari yang tak pernah tenggelam

Bulan yang tak meredup

dan laut yang tak menyurut

Cintaku memang tak sesederhana puisi Sapardi*

atau seromantis puisi Sanusi*

Apa perlu kesederhanaan dalam cinta?

Sedang mawarpun terbalut duri untuk dikagumi

dan hujan harus dimaki sebelum terbit pelangi

Apa aku harus terjatuh berkali-kali seperti hujan

Atau menusuk seperti duri mawar?
