A Bright Star In The High Poem by PINONDANG SITUMEANG

Eagle fly over to heaven
On the way to Yogjakarta Sultanate
Next to Prambanan love's legend temple
Extend in the higher study

Eager in discussion class
Seated beside a brights's eyes girl
Behind a color jilbab Moslem scarf
A pair eyeball who steal my heart
Like sparkling star in the high

Father's cheek redden shocked
Met at floor style dinner Marlboro
The curtain drop close, no more play
The sky turn dark without a star

The class full of students, feel empty
Breaking news of star engagement
Sobbed shake my hand in the wedding
Seated to a stranger she never knew
From the stereo set, turn a song
Ing tawang ono lintang cah ayu.....*)
