Women on the Horizon
Work: Edy Samudra Kertagama
Woman on the horizon
Your inner self is in mega orange
I’m amazed, my soul is calling you from here
That you cannot embrace your lover’s heart.
Until everything became quiet, so the temples collapsed
By the roar of the waves that come to hit you.
Wounds, women’s wounds on the horizon
Crying, crying woman under the light of the Rainbow
Women on the Horizon
Is an angel soaked in tears
The ceiling of the room also became damp
Without sleeper longing for her womb.
Woman on the horizon
A woman swallowed by the jungle of her life
Shivering in half the shining light
Until his body was burned by the sun.
Oh, Woman on the horizon
Can you see the sky again?
So that your longing is no longer anxious, then drips with drizzle
all over your body.

Choice Woman
Work: Edy Samudra Kertagama
The more often you are in front of the mirror
The more it looks like your face has been taken away by force
Come on, throw away everything that has ever existed
Let’s have a conversation so that everything stabs
No longer dare to come when it rains Want to wet the body.
choice woman,
What a charm the moon is in your lap
And I can take it to complete the proposal
So that the light doesn’t dim
When I want to take you to your place.
choice woman,
How many memories have you recorded?
Even though once we were in a pile of burning coals
In the long night.

Women at the End of the Year
Work: Edy Samudra Kertagama
Your eyes Hepolita,
Your pattern is water in a bowl
And you’re no stranger
About sparks between dry grass
Because all horses can’t do it
To touch you until you’re wet.
Maybe this is very threatening to you
Where the wind continues to come until late at night
To take you to places of upheaval
Over the meadow.
Women at the end of the year,
Your eyes are bee, December is your holiday
And an Announcer never smells your body
because you are a more romantic Eve
From the story of Romeo and Juliet.

This is Love
Work: Edy Samudra Kertagama
No, you remember that hugWhen we are under the rainBecause it has long been buried with dew In a green, flowery field. You can just countHow many stars will there be when the full moon comes?Or how many leaves have fallen Just to remember if we ever walked along the road To find a dream that we will later dream of In quiet fields. In the past, I once picked a flowerTo complete the dowry, along with words full of seduction Which has never existed in a hundred of my love poems Because I thought it was too romantic, then I let it goBecause I’m afraid of being trapped and not being able to get out of it.
Oh, this is what love is like for me, when wisdom is always questioned
Then it became a dream, while I have loved you for so long
When the light disappears somewhere.
