I Am the Flower on the Side of the Road
I am an Indonesian poet. Familiar is called Isykariman, known through his poems that use the figure of speech and romantic words.
I am the flower on the edge of the road
What you always adore in your dreams
To foster a speck of hope to meet
Through the breeze that spoiled nan
When the twilight sulks to lull
In everlasting loneliness
I am the one you miss at the end of the night
When the wind greets your skin
And make you shiver with cold
Before the encounter happened
Capture the sad story
Who dwells in your soul
At the edge of a quiet street, I had indeed stood
Bend spoiled at the greeting wind
Sometimes take refuge in the Motherland
Ducking hits the ground
Which emits the aroma of loyalty
Watch nature dance
On the street also a gust of wind made me aware
It moves me slowly
Declaring a life still exists to me
Although the Sun moved toward the twilight
The sound of the wind continued to howl in my hearing
Raising a deep soul
I watched the trees fall
When the Bayu with the appearance of a storm coming as fast as lightning
Crashing and ravaging everything
Makes me thankful for the weeds
Although worn and full of dust
At least stay until you find me
Meeting at the End of Dusk
The long-awaited night has finally come
Meetings were no longer inevitable
Lighted candles greeted him with solemnity
With the fragrance of the sweet flower of the night
Who finishes the twilight color
Heading to the Lord of the Night
I am the flower on the edge of the road
On the beautiful table, you put me slowly
You clean the dust attached
On the leaves and also my flower petals
Until the sparkling light suddenly glowed perfectly
That night I could only surrender in silence
Look in amazement at your fingers
Who can emit beautiful light from within me
Like a new star is born
Until I do not believe in my own eyes
The next second I gave myself a look at your shady face
Who sincerely picked me up
From the lonely road that was quiet at that time
When I was in submission waiting for death
Laying perfectly in lying Motherland
I still vividly remember the meeting at the end of the evening
There are no strings attached in the corner of your eye
The observant see flowers covered with street dust
Pick and re-radiate the light
Reveal the beauty that was born from your fingers
End of the Dusk Wait
Twilight spoiled when part of my soul floated
At that time you embraced my soul under the dim candlelight
Until the fog slowly enveloped the encounter
Unite a divided soul
End the long wait of the dusk
I am the flower on the edge of the road
Although the night wind no longer recognizes me
Glow from the corner of your room
Has shown the way to the wind
Until my friendship with him didn't just end
We were indeed together when the wind greeted us at the end of the evening
And united when the hurricane comes
We have also enjoyed the surge of life
In a holy peace
When the wind blows fiercely
Now I can no longer be seen at the curb
Silence no longer torments me
The wind was reluctant to bother me
With you the warmth is present
Completing the long wait of the dusk
With you now I am
The wind has indeed brought me to you
Ending a long wait
With the twilight that faithfully accompanies
Watch your fingers
Pick me slowly
Beautiful Night
The cloud blocked the moon that night
The fog also helped perfect the dim light
I still remember you touched my leaf gently
Even though the flower has a good night's aroma
You always don't move from me
The candlelight suddenly faded
A breeze turned out to be tempting
Enter slowly through the window gap
complete darkness seized until the whole room
Although the dim light leaves little hope
I see you're still staring at me softly
With a charming smile
I say it's a beautiful night
Because the fog also sang a soft song
Warms the heart that has frozen
Revive my soul that almost died
Night Whispers
I heard your heart flutter faintly
His voice is unmistakable between your breaths
Perfecting my light
Which was once extinguished by the night wind
Those dreams have been waiting for a long time
Urgent night brings me to you
But always stay in your dreams
And the wait was quiet again
Endless real in the morning
Gray nights keep coming to hold you
Fog increasingly blankets the coldness of your heart
Perfects the cold in your soul
Until my presence seemed meaningless
Creating a lot of questions over the phrase miss
What you stated that night
I don't believe in your waiting
Even though your eyes always convince me
And the honesty of your heart shines clearly in your shady eyes
Your longing is genuine
Until the night also whispered the truth to me
I became unsure of my light
Because he has long been extinguished from me
It was the touch of your fingers that made me glow
Giving birth to the beauty of flowers by the roadside
Until I realized that light wasn't from inside me
You're the source of the light
I refract it
I am a mirror to you
When dust no longer clings to my leaves and flower petals
The light is perfectly refracted
As if out of me
The Path of Light
The road was completely deserted
Even a cup of black coffee has gone
Accompanying you sitting enjoying the night is my happiness now
Until morning pick up
I lean happily on your shoulders
There is no longer any doubt in my leaf's motion now
Also no more fidgeting on my flower petals
I am the flower on the edge of the road
I have seen the path of light with you
Towards the perfection of life
The light is in the southwest
When your fingers show that light
The light was there for me at once
And I don't have to walk to it
To deny my lifeline as a plant
I am the thatch flower
The faithful stand on the holy land
In your light embrace
My life has been perfect
Become a beautiful flower
Full of gratitude beyond measure
Ever since you picked that day
I have become a flower in your heart
Melt the ice in your soul
Although not as fragrant as the savory flower of the night
Being meaningful to you is my happiness
And there is no more happiness than being with you
I am the flower on the edge of the road
That was once covered in dust and sparkling world
There are no beautiful notes about me
Before submission and sincerity accept life changes everything
Because the light knows where it will refract
