Once Upon a Time On a Bench

(16/03/2013)

I’ve tangled my pointer with my hair 
While looking up to gaze on the smiling sun
Over hundred times,
On a bench, 
Waiting for your presence

I’ve become boredom conqueror 
And unearthed those buried stones under 
After I’ve had enough of my android,
On a bench, 
You’re still not here

I’ve sent the sun home
And kissed the clouds goodbye
I’ve lost my spirit 
And sighed out my stupidity,
Off that bench,
You’re a disappointment

I Dream In a Dream

(08/10/2011)

I dream in a dream
Where in my dream, I’m a perfect 
already
A perfect girl dreaming about her 
perfection
I don’t want to leave this 
imagination

I dream in a dream
In my dream of a dream, I’m 
untouchable
Where rain can’t wet my clothes 
Where winds can only beautifully 
wave my hair

I dream in a dream
While I'm  tight asleep hugged by 
blanket,
In my dream you sleep next to me
In this dream of a dream,
In your arms I look of course flawlessly 
pretty 

I dream in a dream
In my dream, you adore me so
In my dream of a dream, I’m your 
only one
In my sleeps, I repeat those 
gleaming memories,
In this two-stage dream,
You are mine, I am yours
*Aah* my brain is the best 
imaginations factory

My Soul For You 'My Heart For You 2'

(11/11/2011)

Here is my soul saved from treachery’s tip
Caress it with your touch, shield it from the weep
Inside your soul, please plant it deep
Seal it from every soulless creep

No need to check or even peep
You'll know if it's ripe and ready to reap
For its sweet to your veins will sip
That’ll be time, your heart to swim in my warmth dip

Thanx Susan Burch :)

Twice Is Enough

If you think one time, you'll make a step
Think twice, you'll make big step
Think thrice, you'll probably never make any

The Convention

(27/06/2011)

There I was, the only woman
With three others
I was the most nervous one
I looked at other tables
There he was, the poet who can act in his words 
While at the other table groups
All woman, four other poets
Chit-chatting in chattering
I could only look down, no eager of confidence

Back to observe my own table
Next to me was a calm and gentle poet
Yet his words act like blades
Gently black at times
Full of flowery romance at the same time
Next to him was other gentleman
Who masters all the topics
From social to politics
The other one, very keen
With his wisdom words and sweet writings
You have no idea how grateful I was
Being counted in such a massive convention
Sitting equally with artists in words
I lifted my head then and blended-in
I was one amongst the perfections

At my table:
Myself  - Dinda Minardi
Calm and gentle poet with sharp words - Michael J. Falotico
Gentleman who masters all the topics - Dr. Ram Mehta
Wisdom and sweet writings gentleman -  Rick Berry

Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta*

(26/08/2011)

If only I could make it then,
To the place I call second hometown
To the city I long for four years
To the souls of my real relatives

Just to talk about it brings me tears
Where my best Eid-El Fitrs* took place
If only I could close my eyes and click my heels
I’d trade what I own to have the first pace
So I could go there again, and put smile on Dad’s face
To arrive at grandma’s place, to the city that is grace


* Yogyakarta is one of the cities in the Middle Java (I live in East Java). It’s my dad’s hometown and my second city to be called home.
* Eid-El Fitr is two days after we, Moslems did our fasting in one whole month. 
In Indonesia we have this tradition to ‘come home’ to our origin hometown in Eid-El Fitr, whether you are moslems or not, because of the holidays. And as described in this poem, I really miss that city I call home.

Things Will Get Better

(30/12/2011)

Let’s hold hands together
I’ll make the troubles smothered
As I believe,
Worst thing can only get better

Let’s lighten our path up, life’s like a game
This zig zag will never be the same
As you walked through it once
Hard will never be your word twice

Let’s jump on this gap, leap by leap
There’s no trend to weep
Stack your bolds in a heap
You’ll defeat foggy life trip

Critical Thinking

(15/09/2011)

Being criticized never tasty
But in critics, we need to be greedy
Improving personality to add ability
Since opportunity nowadays meeting scarcity

Propaganda

(27/02/2012)

Do you know how to make wrong things right?
Just sprinkle a bit of propaganda on it
And let’s wait for it to be absorbed
The taste will affect how you burp

Propaganda can drag you to your zero
And guide onto what they want you think it is
Want some proofs? 
Some might think Hitler was a hero
Need more examples?
On the other case, how about Osama’s fame?
How many people had shared his demonic brain pattern?
Or to flip it up, 
Did you think he was dangerous if media hadn't chased his tail?
They say Saddam Hussein was an evil
Do you have any idea he was a hero for his people?
What about Mao Zedong? Or even Lenin and Stalin?
They were sure three persons shared one hell’s praline

Those people were mean, but try to count their lovers
How massive it was how they manipulated their bloopers
From speed up hoax to media coverage
Propaganda leans on people with money and power
So, peek in to both sides of propaganda leverage
Before you become victim of news platter

---------------------------------------------

*Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. They can be manifested in the form of posters, nonobjective news coverage, etc. Usually propaganda used in politics to affect people of the country that what they do is the right things and for their sake. 

It is very interesting to study propaganda (for me :D), they can be affected by idiosyncratic of a leader and also education level of the citizen. The more educated they are, the more they will be saved from propaganda. As they can analyse things from both sides.

How Much Is Enough

(Dec 20, 2011)

How much is ‘enough’ will cost you your thoughts?
Will it be too much to think of? Since these days we’re too tired to sweat this thing
Or we were never born to think, just to do things?
If one says let go, will I strong enough to do so?
If one says let’s go, will I join and never think of ‘no’?
How much will ‘enough’ word cost?
Will it make you happier or bring out worst?

Dilemmatic choices make me dizzy some of the time
But I lose myself almost all the time
Make me forget of what I want and what I’ve learned
But as long as I enjoy, I think it’s okay to get burned
Just follow where your heart takes you
Even if eventually it will make you feel blue
You will easily let go of that false clue
‘Cos, hey! It’s always easier for you to forgive you

We live among choices
Demanded only for one best decision
We make different mime faces
But we know only one that suits the finest ambition

So how much is enough? –Priceless
No matter how deen a man is, he’s not a self-less
