i want to tell you.
i really do.
i'd love to spill my secrets, my issues to you.
yet i can't comprehend it.
i can't communicate it to you.
and the fact you could leave me.
it makes my heart a tearful blue.
you already look at me as if i'm broken.
what do i have to lose?
i want to tell you.
i really do.
yet i can't cope with the fact.
the fact your presence may fade.
vanish without a trace.
except you'd still have that key.
the key that can unlock the darkness in my brain.

this poem is in honour of my teacher who wants me to know that i can talk to him. but it's nearing the end of the year and he may not be my teacher next year. i fear that if i tell him too much i won't be able to cope that next year he might be wandering around with the burden of my thoughts i selfishly put on him without being able to do much to help me. and that i won't be able to connect with another teacher like i have with him. so, in general, this poem isn't really about telling him about my issues. it's about the fact that i might lose his presence in my life and that he's one of the last things that's keeping me sane. this poem is about loss. XD sorry for the mini rant i just needed to get this out there y'know.

MOONLIGHT LOVER.

MOONLIGHT LOVER.

The moon sings to the crimson red flower, to bloom at midnight hour. Harmonizing with the pale lover's song, with languid movements of her own. Curling her blossoms, shaking her leafs — being as pretty as can be.

I watch as the rose gives itself to the moon, to luminescent light and angelic tune.
And while I lay in your arms, your glory bequeathed with a laurel wreath, our love promised with a diamond ring, I realize that the rose and I might just be the same thing.

Inspired and dedicated to the one that makes my dew-covered eyelashes flutter with happiness upon waking up next to them. My muse. My love.

Just because I'm...

Just because I'm...

Just because I'm the older sister
Doesn't mean I'm always positive
Doesn't mean I can't be sad
And doesn't mean 10 years old is very old
Just because my sister is younger
Doesn't mean I suddenly know everything
Doesn't mean I should suddenly give everything to my sister
And I sometimes get tired too
Just because I'm the older sister
Doesn't mean I've grown up
Is there a place at the table for me?

Nothing to be proud of

Nothing to be proud of

The world meets my brain in acidic red
Puffy-eyed, childlike, wrong side of the bed
Swollen feet fumble for steps that seek only
To placate the mind for each baby bird moment

My golden track winds out to the sea
But it's empty
And I'm riding the much simpler bronze one
And not making it easy
Let this be our secret
We messed up, so quick
Pile on the dirt
And don't mark my grave

idiot in love

idiot in love

An idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
Then they’re willing to do anything,
For the person they’re in awe of.

Whether its building a new world,
Or burning the old one down,
They’ll stop at nothing,
To give their love a crown.

Now if that love fades,
And they are left weeping,
They could take one of two paths,
Both will leave an empty heart unsleeping.

Path one is war and rampage,
Destroy everything in their way,
Path two is depression and tears,
They may cause their own doomsday.

Either way an idiot is harmless,
Until that idiot falls in love,
And if you happen to cross that idiot,
Beware for they do not care, they are deprived of---------

i might be an idiot in love.

I Sat Down To Write A Poem

I Sat Down To Write A Poem

I sat down to write another poem
Spill out a slew of rhyme
Sat down to write another poem
Jot down a mess of lines
Conjure up a new idea
Knock loose my noggin in finding it
I sat down to write another poem
But nothing comes to mind

I sat down to write another poem
Not too lame, not too deep
Sat down to write another poem
To entertain both you and me
Climb rhymes tree to the furthest limb
The one with the swing to take a swim
I sat down to write another poem
But can't seem to take the leap

I sat down to write another poem
Of all I have to say
Sat down to write another poem
But this blank wall is in my way
With inspiration everywhere
But it's over there and I'm stuck over here
I sat down to write another poem
Perhaps today is not the day

-YOU ARE LOVED-

-YOU ARE LOVED-

When I think of what, a Mother is;
You are at
the top,
of the most special list.
-
Your touch is as soft,
as a fluffy, white cloud;
I'm always Blessed,
when you are around.
-
You always have time,
to spend with me;
You certainly are,
a Blessing indeed.
-
So on this Merry Christmas Mom,
I wish I could give you,
more than this song;
I'd give you the World, I'd give you the Stars,
and I'd help you to see,
how special you are.

Keraguan.

Keraguan.

Kemarin malam
Keheningan datang merayu
Untuk memulai sebuah percakapan denganmu
Dengan topik ringan tentang kehidupan
Duduk di atas motor berboncengan
Sesekali kamu mencuri pandang melalui kaca spion sambil tersenyum
Sedangkan aku berusaha mengendalikan debar di dada
Ah, senyummu sungguh mempesona
Tapi, apakah kita bisa bersama?
