Poetry of Sri Wintala Achmad

STUDENTS UNLIKE THE FORMULA OF X + X = 2X

By their teacher, students
are thought about the formula
x + x = 2x. therefore
they are angry. Caused that
it is an exact thing
which shan’t make them rich
as ones living in the poor country
opens the door for all thieves. Then
they like that it is x + x ? 2x
no paying attention with others
living in the sadness

SONG FOR DEAREST

Night’ sky has no light
Her moon and stars I’ve stolen
For my dearest who don’t know
Where the street she’ll come home
When the cloud covers fullly her heart

Don’t cry, my dear
Caused that your sadness
Only needs light
:The God you’ve forgotten
As the lamp of life

REFLECTION

When the morning has come
Open the window
In order to see
The life still flaws
Like the river in front of our house

When the evening has come
Close the window
In order to see
The life must be reviewed
Like the mirror in our room

THE SEA

The sea is mother’s love
Reflected by its green color

The sea is a couple of sadness and happiness
Reflected by its wave

The sea is poetry book
Reflected by its mysterious

The sea you has seen well
Your life that is as hard as its rock

LESSON ABOUT GOD

In the darkness
You’ll look at night
;The God who lives
In your sad heart

LESSON ABOUT FATE

The card you’ve received well
As yourselves fate given by God
So, don’t cry although it’s sadness
Caused that it’s like the night
Whose darkness shall change
To be a sun flower

EARLY MORNING

The door you’ve opened
For nobody, but sun
Sending a message
:The fight shall be begun
For men who are proud
With blood, no tear

WHEN THE LOVE IS DEAD

The love you ever assumed as God
It’s just the lamp having no light
When your dearest sells her heart
To the prostitution markets, then
What will you hope from her
But the body that is owned by dead women

NO NEW THING YOU WRITE IN THE DAILY BOOK

Why do you still write in the daily book
If the sun rises from east and shines to west
There are no new things, but
The routine activity making a cause
You want to kill yourselves

Indonesia, 2009


POEM YOU’VE WRITTEN

No poem you’ve written
but words that make a nice dream
Although they are only fire balls
Related each other as the sun
Burning you before the door you open
Going from home to fight
With yourselves fate

Indonesia, 2009


THE VILLAGE CHILDREN’ SONG

Before sleeping, our parents never tell about the animal stories
But the television that shall make us as dreamers
About the big house whose yard is always seem by us
There are flower-plants and luxurious cars
Up to the morning time in which we must cry hard
Caused that the dream is just a modern game
Given by men from the rainbow-country

Indonesia, 2009
