POEM - JULIET, Poet - Edy Samudra Kertagama (Indonesia)

 

JULIET

Edy Samudra Kertagama (Indonesia)

The wind seems not to know

How far the waves go to the beach And it comes on Sunday

When the eyes enchant the past.

O, Juliet

You are not sick And all never understand

About the expression of meaning From your words

Because at that time,

You were fast asleep

Among prayers and tears

That fell on your lover's chest.
