fera nugroho Poems

sitting at the corner of my dream
i tasted my coffee
dripping from the brim of the wavy sea
i tried to meditate in a single drop
...

Into the dark gloomy wood I see
The shadow coming out from the tree
Filling the air in cold thick mist
Casting a damp over the morning bliss
...

under the old meranti*
a young boy sat, weary
as his tears thicken to sorrow
he casted a quest of tomorrow
...

i thought i began to write phrases
of red roses and purple haze
two hearts in one place
you called it love in a velvet case
...

i met an old and limp strumpet
down in the damp alley
at the corner of the city
enchanting melodious madrigals
...

it was dusk
the evening creeping on
the darkness thickening into night
the cold air embraced this little body
...

i stitch the moon beams
with my aching veins
and drag the gleams
with the pleated reins
...

eyes closed,
tears mingled
with the flying dust
into a ball of muddy trust
...

when i hate you
d'you feel it too?
i wish you knew
my beloved foe
...

cuppa cofee,
a bowl ol' memory,
you,
me,
...
