BUATAN ZAMAN


tak ada yang mengharuskanku untuk segera pergi,
tatap yang penuh tanya, senyum berteka-teki
di wajahmu yang tak lagi pucat pasi: berseri,
usah ragu, hadirku bukan untuk mati

     hadirku untuk menyampaikan rangkaian kisah
     rekam jejak manusia di pusaran sejarah
     ah! kutahu dirimu tak sabar diamuk gelisah
     dada deru debar - mata berkaca-kaca, basah.

matamu berkaca-kaca mengharap nyata,
kabut mesti tersibak, hilang musnah dusta
namun, mestikah luka lama biar menganga?
dendam kesumat saatnya dilupa.

     tak ada yang menghendaki luka kembali.
     tak ada yang mengharuskanmu untuk pergi.

PRODUCT OF THE ERA


no one told me to leave immediately,
your staring eyes, asking smile
in your face, no longer pale: radiantly,
do not hesitate, I come here now, not to die.

     I came to deliver a series of stories
     humanity track record in the vortex of history
     Ah! I know you wait to be restless not
     your chest pounding- eyes teary, wet.

tears falling for expecting the truth,
the mist must be parted, no more lie
but, should the old wound let open?
vengeful resentment, to be forgotten.

     no one wants the wounds to return,
     no one asked you to leave soon.

Great work @ayakasih. You followed all guidelines perfectly.

Love that you are working in your mother tongue and English. I expect great things here! Your poetic sense is definitely there and I appreciate you sharing your writing skills.

Placing you in the Beginner category (for english) but don't be surprised if you move up to Intermediate because I see you have tons of experience with writing. You're an excellent poet. I think it will transfer to English in a short period :-D

Thank you for joining this challenge. Be sure to join class if you can each day at 7 PM GMT :-)

Thank you very much, @d-pend. You are doing a huge project and still have time to write. I admire you. 👍

I love to join class if I still awake. It's 2 AM here 😅
