"mena" poems
tell me can you love my black
even when it's about to crack
falling through gates of hell
your black don't crack but mine did
after too many lies and too many wounds that never healed before others grew
your black don't crack but mine did
after too many burns by kind actions with ill intent and too many souls that came but did not stay
your black don't crack but mine did
after too many cries of help that went unanswered and too many words that went unsaid

*Another green world
reels them in
unfledged
lovers
they yearn
to be hydro-electric
cascading over
emerald and stone
floating along
with the water hyacinth
where they evaporate
but do not falter
in the naked spring
of continuously November
jumping off
a bridge above ecosystem
a new frontier
under their nose
as souvenir:
pioneers to the fall
and yet all they really
need to remember is
this is where they
first made love*

Oh Menah
Pride of africa
Pride of the blackrace
Beautiful like d morning rose
Timid eyes like the clean morning water of "ESSURUN"
Great sense of humour
Aspiring and ambitious
Hardworking and caring
Beautiful is AFRICAN and the black race

Kembali lagi terluka
Terluka karena sebuah kata bernama cinta
Ini bukan kisah cinta dan rangga
Ini kisahku bersama dia yang ku puja
Ku#love #hurt painrang setia apa aku padanya
Melirik makhluk lain pun aku tak pernah
Kurang setia apa aku padanya
Dia marah aku tak pernah bantah
Lalu dia buat diriku semena-mena
Apa ini yang dia katakan cinta?
Apa ini yang dia katakan takkan mendua?
Apa ini yang dia katakan menjaga janji kita?
Aku hanya bisa menahan
Membungkam segala kekecewaan
Menyimpan segala kesedihan
Menutupi segala penderitaan

She cared enough to buy him
apples in the rain.
Mena his jasmine,
the love of yesterday
repaid by images of simple snow
