to the moon, about her
Yohanes Apr 4
her smile glowing like a moonlight in the sky,
soft as feather, brighter than a star.
my eyes can't process how beautiful
all i can do is admire it

i asked the moon, “why do I feel this way?
why do the stars all dim everytime i saw her?”
it sighed, “because her light outshines the night
she’s not just beauty, she’s the reason why.”

“i wish i were beside her,” i sighed to the moon.
“what would you do?” it asked, softening its glow.
my heart beating fast, “just let her know
she’s my dream, and i want it to be true.”

beautiful garden (you)
Yohanes Mar 23
2 / eternal
walking through the rocks and bushes
in silence, alone but keep going
everything looks like monochrome
even black and white are together
i'm jealous
but one time from far away
i found a garden
gorgeous, has all the colors of flowers that i've lost
i admire it
while walking there i was careless and broke some flowers
i feel cruel, heart burn, tied neck
trying to take care of this garden
my beautiful garden

420 miles
Yohanes Mar 23
distance
a word that explain the world's vastness
a distance from paris to venice
the road from rome to milan
a flight from jakarta to manila
and a joy from nusa dua to solo
420 miles? its just a number
i will make it to zero
must be a dream
my body lifting up
holding you tight
keeping you safe
soft lips, gorgeous eyes
best day of my life

it's pouring outside,
thunder strikes endlessly,
the sky speaks in rage,
yet i stand, calm, mostly.

why do I feel at peace,
when the world trembles with sound?
am i hiding my fear,
or am i just tired?

the storm asks of me,
how deep is your soul's fight?
am i fearless or numb,
to the chaos of night?

thunder strike once again
ask my soul for the last time
am i not scared?
or there's something else?

deeply breath told myself
after all this time
i'm just too shattered into pieces
what more can harm me, when i've felt every ache?

apology
Yohanes Mar 23
1 / eternal
i apologize
deeply
my head is noisy
millions, billions words were spoken in my head
one word couldn't even come out from my tounge, even a single letter
stuck in my head below the moon
the same moon illuminates our dim night
i'm weak, it's hard to breath
ache on my heart, regret everything what i've lied to you
but i know "sorry" is a funny word
looking for a clue to have a redemption
and hoping there's still us

vision
Yohanes Mar 27
tell me, what do you see when you look my way?
is it the same vision I hold each day?
cause in my eyes i can see
a glimpse of the masterpiece God made

i walk through the world
i catch reflections of love in a million ways.
is it the same as the beauty you hold in your heart?
a masterpiece crafted, a divine work of art.

is your vision touched by the stars above,
reflecting the light of the heavens' love?
or do you see what I see in my soul,
a perfect image of beauty

and its you

L.O.V.E
Yohanes Apr 9
someone please explain to me
what is love?
how does it feel?
how do I navigate it?

if i’m in love,
how will i know?
is it real, or just a fleeting dream?
what should i do?

love,
does it bring pain?
i'm scared
what if i ruin it?

the storm you made
Yohanes Apr 9
there's something inside my soul you've touch
it's a spark, a flame, a sign, and i can't deny
how to explain this feeling?
it feels tender, warm, and it's real

it's a storm you've made
not a single on my thought that can explain how i feel right now
who are you? tell me
do you hold some secret, some superpower?

did the stars bring you close to me?
or is it fate that whispers "stay here"
my body trembles, losing control
but my soul’s singing what my lips haven’t told

— The End —
