her name is Layla
a woman who’s broke by love
her tears falling quietly
but she smiles
her name is Layla
a woman who trapped in the bitter of love
her heart shattered into pieces
but still she smiles
though passion has died
her soul still hovered in hope
thoughts was dragged into reverie
and living like a broken mirror
her name is Layla
a woman who wondering
whether there any love left
smiles unhesitatingly

let me know
bring it into my dream
whether sweet as honey
or bitter as gall
oh poet
write a poem about love
create me as the lines of your poem
just to understand
at morning bird sings
awake without a tender touch
emptiness seeps to the recesses of soul
without love …… how fragile this life would be

His Light
there are
thousand of words sitting in head
but none willing to stand up
to be marched in verses of poetry
while
the imagination is getting tired of waiting
and it went along with a day passing
today
they were unwilling to coöperate
really disappointing
nothing could do but wait
till they meet in a mood
when?
O… so sorry
no one knows
perhaps later, … tomorrow
or
the day after tomorrow

I am not a cigarette
inhaled, removed and crushed
I am not a shadow
that missing in the dark
if you ask
who am I
even me do not know
maybe I am a visionary
who always haunt the mind
maybe I am a dreamer
who just living in the dream
I might be the verses of poem
which now read

come back home Minah….
without you I felt lonely
you’ve been gone for 4 days, 7 hours, 21 minutes
felt like thousand years
perhaps the clock works so slow
please be back my dear
I cannot live without you
… indeed I was wrong
I’ve tried
to make you happy
but you know exactly how big my income is
I am just an administrative employees
how could be able to buy homes, cars and diamonds as you wish
do I have to corrupt?
you should be proud
for having me, Minah
poor but honest
Minah …., come home
I miss you
trust me dear
my love is greater than houses, cars, diamonds
and even bigger than this earth
I promised
if later you come home
I will take you to ride the bus
we will see the lights at the Thamrin road
while eating the warm fried tofu
I bet you will be happy
so please come
I feel want to die
but better die than being a corrupter
didn’t I told you before?
for not too much chatting with neighbors
eventually turn out this way
Minah …., Minah

o sky bird….
sows the seed of love to each empty heart
let the trees of compassion grow
o rain….
wets those dry and barren feelings
so the passionate of love could thrive
o earth….
let the roots of brotherhood spreads to each soul
to remove anger and envies
o wind….
blow the sense of love to the world
whisper the beauty of togetherness
then
invite them to unite in peaceful

I played this song
to convey my admiration
of Thy greatness
the guitar strings
interlace the rhythm
to the verses of praise
actually
I want you to listen
but I feel ashamed
because my voice is discordant
O Allah
I just realized
anyhow You will heard
though it sung in my heart

the night is getting old
I closed the window
turn off the light
lay this body
on the mattress
and closed my eyes
sudden I remembered
gee ….
I forgot to say
“thanks for everything God”
