Kumpulan Puisi Karya “Pambayung”


If I were to die someday

Bring none of your tears to my grave

No sorrows shall fill the air that day

Just do what you always say

Be strong, hold on, be bold, be brave

Smile for me, sing songs, dance along

Read me poetries, bring me flowers

Roses and jasmine all are wonders

And rest me where I do belong

If you want to post my photo

It’ll trump your pain for a while

I don’t look good in most, tho

But pick the one with my best smile

For I want to show the world that I’m content

With the life God gave me until the end

Had a good life, met good people along the way

Sorry and thank you is all I can say

Balkon

Angin yang menyisir halus rambutmu

Di balkon lantai dua puluh satu itu

Apakah pernah berbisik

Tentang apa yang dirahasiakan tabir esok?

Adakah dia berkisah

Soal mobil terbang dan kucing yang berumur panjang?

Atau kala kita sudah bisa memanen teh hijau kesukaanmu menggunakan mesin-mesin berwarna putih-biru

Entahlah, yang pasti aku tahu

Kala kita sampai pada masa itu, 

Aku bakal tetap mencintaimu

Angin yang mengecup hitam rambutmu

Di lantai dua puluh satu itu

Apakah membawa pesan

Berisi doa doa yang aku panjatkan

Kepada Sang Penjaga Malam?

Adakah dia mewartakan kepadamu soal harapanku

Dan asa kita di hari esok yang gulita

Maka katakan padaku, Nona

Mana yang bakal Kau rengkuh duluan

Lenganku yang tak lelah meraih

Atau angin dan keabadian saat kau melompat?

Stray

I pet a stray cat today

On my way to the canteen,

The same path we always take when leaving

The cat was orange and small

Not the usual cat you always pet 

Before we went to the mall

I pet a stray cat today

But she doesn’t cling to me 

The way they do to you

Maybe because those cats love you

The way I do so, too

I pet a stray cat today

I pet it despite what my heart always say

“They bring germs and parasites–” I said one day

“So do not pet stray cats”

But you did it anyway

The way I did it today

I pet a stray cat today

Her eyes were sad and blue

Maybe because she misses you

The way I do so, too

I pet a stray cat today

For it is a few things I can do

To remind myself of you

Pambayung,
