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
...

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,
...

your light, diminishes slowly
dark shadow slips in through the cracks on the wall
then!
i see you, fall
...
