Romantic Poems

We both already know
there is nothing eternal
in this world
nothing is ageless

My body's getting weak
My hair's getting gray

Out there, the sky is already
full of stars...

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

I have never really known
How I want to believe
That you are really exist
... thus in silent

(Free translation of Ken Fitria poem titled 'Demikian dalam diam')

We have never known,
what is our duty of sad
in this World?
perhaps, for you
it is to love me,
try to understand
every passed question
and every swallowed answer...

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

Can't you say a word to me
in this burning day,
so my heart would be as cool
as a deep lake surrounded by those
leafy trees, watered from
the faraway mountain behind
the clouds that shade our steps

Hope you are not tired
though I always drink your water
I explore it for each thirsty gulp
that always pack and fly...

kissing your existence...

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

Good night life
I need put to sleep
my shadow
in your darkness

(Ihsan abdul Salam)

I am sad
I miss you when I am lonely
but, i really miss you when I am happy

I feel this very deep desire
but I can't understand it...

I just stare at you a whole second
you don't need to quite remember me
watch my smile, perhaps the worst smile
how bad it is so you can't even forget it
in half second

I am the sweet smile, a very sweet smile
that makes you remind it the whole life
then it would be left in your memory
and you never want to forget it...

that's exactly what's gonna happen to you...

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

In my heart I cry happily
since you are my eyes drop light
and I will keep this tears that
has your light, in my memory,
in my life pulse that has no passion

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
and I don't long for tomorrow
for I hope today would never changed
never run, stop, leaving you
I love the miracle of your light
in every drop particle of my eyes

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

What should I tell you
so this sleepy becomes
comfortable in the breezing wind
after the rain that has just stopped

Don't you disturb my story about
the night that full of stars

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

I am not something miracle,
not a dark night without no light
I am not a dream that sneak
to freak you out in your dream

I am something you are not dreaming about,
something you are not thinking about,
something you can't imagine,
something you don't know...

I am your love

The deepest sadness is
living a life without loving
but isn't it the same sadness,
to leave this world without
saying to someone you love
that you love them,
you really need them,
that you really really care about them.

So, I start it with the most difficult one:
I love you so I can go through this difficult life.

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

If my love has ended
I won't be crying
since there is you
who knows the price
of more painful cry

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

It's time for me
to say good bye to you lady
The birds outside has already
started singing to escort my steps
The horses have already crackled
can't wait for me any longer

Don't even blink for a second
when I am leaving,
please...
Once, I have lived
under the shade of your light

I will never forget you...

(Ihsan Abdul Salam)

After the first embrace from you my senses knew
The look of love was in your eyes
and after we first make love our senses
tingle to The touch oh how we hypnotize

Holding you closer in my arms we drift to heaven
Bringing in the morning light
And after all is said and done there's only us
We can make it right
So, our love will carry on and on
Now our love will be free, be free.

And when we play, love don't delay, I hear you now
For what was then, is what is now, anyhow
As I became a guest of love's tune here again
We'll carry on together like today.

After the first embrace from you I want you too

(Renjana-Enola)

You are so fucking beautiful
as beautiful as a Goddess can be
It has nothing to do with me actually
I was just helping you to find out
this side...

It doesn't really matter whether
sooner or later you would leave me
after you have found out this side

it is just an old story of my life...

(Nobody but me)

The world is massive, lengthy, sure
but always stretching home.
Beyond the hill, the valley's next
the hilltops further on.

And still it stretches, flexes, yawns
away beyond the steeple stacks
and distant shabby barns.
High it is and wide by lengths
not yet stretched.

Thick as dark, and dense.
The world has many fences
though not for roads.
They come and go as easily as ease.

Dissents a natural thing
for roads tracking trails or rabbit holes.
No road has known a hill
it could not climb without
a chart, a map, a border marking.
However far the road goes off
come dinner milking time or evensong
it always knows the way back home.

The best and worst
that we can say of roads
is that they are dependable.

(Renjana-Enola)

Glad to see you know what to do
when you wake up in the morning,
Glad to see you learn something
outside your world,
Glad to see you step your feet
in the morning,
Glad to see you smell the soil's taste
evaporated by the last night rain,
Glad to see you learn something new
outside your cubicle

...

New things would create the passion
and open our eyes that
many things in this world
are not always going the way we want.
This life is full of surprise,
and your biggest enemy is yourself,
don't be afraid...

(Renjana - Enola)

Consider me as the dark
that always passionate to appear
as a sun on the noon,
When i find out that
the black shadow is squeezing you...

I was so sad that time,
Thousand of storms crushed
the house of my soul that is
indeed so fragile.
Then I walked along passing
every mud hole where
we used to visit together,
to find you and enjoy
the most beautiful language in the world.

...

but, you weren't there...
then I came back
to the ruins of my soul's house
and whispered silently in my heart,
"where are you my love...?"

If there are people care about you,
I am one of them.
If there is someone who cares about you,
that is me.
If there is no one cares about you,
I must have gone to heaven.

Never be sad
since you love me too much,
Never be sad
since feel of loosing me,
Never be sad
since you can not forget me,
so...
Please don't cry when I leave you,
and remember those best times
we have ever passed,
because I am just a stepped stone
when you want to jump higher...

(Sheila on 7)

Loving is not how we forget,
but how we forgive.
not how we listen,
but how we understand.
not how we see,
but how we get.
not how we let go,
but how we hold on...

When people understand
how it feels and seems to be me,
without wanting to analyze or judge me,
then,

I would grow in that kind of place...

(Anonymous)

When God opened the window of heaven,
He saw me and asked "what do you wish today?"
and I said, "God please take good care
of whom read this message..."

(Anonymous)

Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Just walk beside me,
and be my love...

(Anonymous)

There was a time that I liked you,
There was a time I dreamed of you,
There was a time I missed you,
but, it is so bad...

My love isn't for you...

(Oppie Andaresta's song)

Every soul desires a true love,
But, desire so often blinds me,
Where should I find the answer?

God, please send me a

love letter...

How can I hold the rain falls
when there is a cloud.
How can I prevent the leaves fall,
when there is a wind.
How can I not fall in love,
when there is you...

There would come a time,
when we have to stop holding on with someone.
Not because that person start hating us,
but because we find out that;
they would

be happier if we let them go...

(Anonymous)

We will know when we really love

someone,
when we want them to be happy.
Even if their happiness means
that we are not the part of it...

(Anonymous)

If someone comes to our life,
and becomes a part of us,
but for some reasons he couldn't stay,
Don't cry too much,
just be glad that our paths passed,
and somehow they made us happy,
even for a while...

The most beautiful moment is...
when you are close to me,
The most beautiful moment is...
when I see your smile,
In this most beautiful moment
I would like to say my most beautiful
feeling to you...

I give you an always sincere love,
I love

You...
