Musafir: Kumpulan Puisi dan Prosa [SUDAH TERBIT]

The Night Breeze

The night breeze, convey my longing for him
He is miles away from this body
I can only touch in the dream world
And embrace him in the soul

Night breeze, convey my love for him
Crows might be witnesses
In darkness and opacity
I wish to hug him in the shade of the moon

Night breeze, you know how difficult this dream is
I feel a strange feeling that I had never recognized before
Perched like a virus gnawing
This love is tangible but very quiet

O night breeze, how much more do I complain
Sigh with mortal hope
So smooth that I fell asleep
And carried breezy towards the west

Night breeze, why are you playing like a geeta?
Your raga shakes every corner of my heart
Your sur and taal are like my hum
I wish to dance in the shadow of your clouds

Night breeze, why is he so close to heart?
His face is only a small picture
But it feels thrilling my niche
His words are only strings of phrases and clauses
But it’s able to make me smile like a mad

Night breeze, maybe you know better where he is
Sometimes I'm jealous of you
You can blow on the nape of his neck
You can hit his innocent face
I wish to be a night breeze
Just like you
