His poems:
The wish
I wish I was the sunshine
Bringing light to all mankind
So that humanity never has to
Living in the gloomy dark
I wish I was the moon
In the middle of the full moon to shine
So that no more twilight nights
Shining your steps in the mist
I wish I was the ocean
Cooling in you every night
Let you not be confused
Lonely, alone in life
I wish I could bring the wind
Blowing into you full of positive energy
Let you don’t have to be weak-headed
In the midst of hardships
I wish so much, that much
Don’t know if I can do it or not
But know well that I’m looking forward to it
For you I will try everything!
The heart skips a beat
Still knowing that I’m not young anymore
To love and date like before
Still knowing that the frivolity time is over
Finding peaceful moments by myself
Thought my heart was asleep
Being content with what I have
But one day, my heart suddenly was windy
You accidentally awaken my heart
Recovering the restless sleep
And dreaming about things far away…
But realizing just bitter outcomes
By doubt with nameless sulk
Because it is not strong enough to give faith
Because it is not enough and because it is not enough
“You suddenly come and suddenly leave, I still know
It is suddenly rain or suddenly sunny for no reason.”
The lyrics are so deep down
In the heart that has just opened
I promise not to hurt myself anymore
Looking for peaceful moments again
Sleepless night
It is late, why I don’t sleep
So that the eyes keep looking at nostalgia
Outside on the porch, the wind keeps reminding
That there’s a storm in the heart
There’s nothing wrong but the awaken eyes
Life is that, just let it be
Tomorrow everything will be nothing
Just sleep, the dawn is coming
Tomorrow the game starts again
No worries, no regrets, no jealousy
There’s nothing but the heart is infatuated
Be strong to experience by the time
This life also has debts and loans
Just loaning, then trying to pay back
Paying per night, per month and forever
Can the debt of love be paid off?
Tomorrow will no longer wait for
No good morning or good night
Only regret and nostalgia remained
Don’t know what to do, let go to sleep poor me!
