Daybreak Midday

Encountered by Saturday with wild-eyed wanderingPicking up one in a million starsTo accompany you en route the weekendThe morning was good The sun was brightI began the day with washing some clothesAs alwaysI did my breakfastWhen the road started roaringIt was a bit irritating As the dust of mechanical lifeDistracted my visionSo I got myself exiledFrom crowdsIt is time for mid day prayPeople are marching onWith their ceremonial fashionsStill I'm making up my mindWonder how some parts still in a rushAre they racing for the starI have told you in...

Kelambu Hitam Kelabu

Di batu kali hitam kelabuDi simpang ngarai sebuah udikSekawan ikan yang hilir mudikDalam aliran yang tembus pandangTerik makin menghunjam,dan laparpun kian merajamMengapa tetap hitam dan kelamMemecah gelombang menjadi terbelahMemberi nafas para insaniBersenda gurau tertawa lepasDi batu kali hitam kelabuSetitik asa mengapung di genanganSebaris serapah urung tersuratMengusik kalbu yang tengah ses...

Pangeran Matahari, Garuda Emas, dan Baling-baling

Elang berbulu keemasan tersebut menyendiri tepekur pada sebuah gundukan tanah rerumputan, di bawah pohon yang tidak begitu lebat daunnya. Napasnya terengah-engah, matanya sayu, dan bulu-bulunya kucel. Rupanya ia baru saja melakukan penerbangan jauh. Di depannya terdapat sebuah cerukan tanah berisi sedikit air. Sesekali ia membungkuk dan mengarahkan paruhnya ke dalam cerukan air tersebut. "glk-glk-glk..." Pada lehernya terlihat gerakan menelan air. Setelah itu ia kembali tepekur sambil memandang sekeliling, setengah melamun. Beberapa saat kemudian...

Gefunden (J. W. von Goethe)

Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Ich ging im Walde     So für mich hin,     Und nichts zu suchen,     Das war mein Sinn.           Im Schatten sah ich     Ein Blümchen stehn,     Wie Sterne leuchtend     Wie Äuglein schön.           Ich wollt es brechen,     Da sagt' es fein:     Soll ich zum Welken,     Gebrochen sein?    ...

Breath (Georgi Bratanov)

Author: Georgi Bratanov The sky inhales dusk expires light. Again and yet again... Night and day take turns Sky and dusk. Sky and light. Time is round turning and all constellations chime over my soul as bells would Again and yet again... Where am I, who am I and why My questions try To reach the white egg of mystery, To get into the living kernel of eternity And to come back along the back route. To me - me, white As a Tibet snow-man, More white, more blue, more rose, more green And more infinite than susetless down. The man in the clutches...

Awan berarak pagi itu

Bubble & Freedom (Neda Darzi)

Neda Darzi (Photo credit: Masoud Soheili) Guest poems: Neda Darzi BUBBLE Journey journey, a dream a mirage A familiarity a separation To be not to be, coming going, where to? Floated the bubbles, any one to anywhere: One to the north of the jungles One to the south of the deserts One to the east, one to the west Light, liquid, limpid and discerning bubbles Each one is a story, a pearl of secrets Is there any ability to say? Is there any hope...
