Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
For Thee…Oo my Love
I hand over all of love and life of mine
In the name of life
whose sharp claws have a grip on the heart of death
In the name of love
whose flapping wings cool down the flare-up of hate
I surrender
Because
Thou are all in all to my love and life.

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
I imagine a universe without god
What a powerful man !
I imagine a world without man
What a lovely place !
I imagine a country without politicians
What a peaceful land !
I imagine daily trade without businessmen
What a simple life !
I imagine a way of life without machines
What a romantic life !
I imagine a day without women
What a quiet day of rest !
But when I imagine my own self without you
Who I am then …

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
Let’s look at our wars, rebellions,
riots and disturbances
which have been burning our world up till now.
Baghdad, Jerusalem, Gaza, West Bank, Mindanao,
Ambon, Aceh and many other places in the world
have been burnt out.
So much blood has shed
Too many lives have lost in vain
What have we really been looking for?
What have we really been showing off?
Looking for an honor?
Keeping world peace?
Reaching a glory?
Winning a victory?
Showing off patriotism, nationalism?
Striving for jihad or the spirit of religion?
No. Absolutely not
We have not been doing anything of the sorts
but for our own sake only,
that is to satisfy our evil passions.
We have, of course, found nothing except
bigger and bigger hatred which spread
all around the world
We have exactly showed off nothing except
our greed to own what other people own.
Let’s look at again and again
the crashes our doings have resulted,
the chaos our actions have caused.
People, children and women who are innocent
have been killed by our bullets, missiles and bombs
Let’s ask our inner heart some questions:
Is that in a fair way to reach our world peace?
Is that in a fair way to unite our mankind?
Is that also in a fair way to affirm our humanity?
We all certainly will answer at once :
No. Absolutely not
(But of course
who is the man will plead himself his insanity …
None!
We are all in fact though.
(It is exactly we all who have become insane.)

Hello Heaven!
May I sit down
beside you...

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
In a quiet night
I heard voices from above
I did not know for sure
where they came from
I thought
they might hail from heaven
or hell
I hesitated for a second
and would not care about such thing no longer
Then I supposed
perhaps the voices were just sound effects
which had gone to other worlds
and came back to us
somewhere, sometime.
Who knows?

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
Oo…The Holy Light my love
Thou are my ultimate light I long for
I would not like to pay attention to light
sparkling on the Giza pyramid
I do not take an interest in light
glistering on the Borobudur’s summit
Also I do not care about the blistering shine of the sun
spouting to the Kaaba
and the bright light of the moon
spraying to the Canterbury Cathedral
As the only feeling I have is
a deep longing for Thee
to dissolve myself into Thy unlimited and lovely Light.
Oo…The Holy Light
who is beyond all of the shiny beam
I wish I would be destroyed
in Thy glorious gleam.

Logic of the heart:
A phenomenology
One plus one must not be the same with two.
Someone would say ' I'd prefer not to say"
Or perhaps ' I do not know'
maybe 'what do you want me to say?'
it could be also 'whatever you say I agree with'
And it's not impossible for me to say
'Honey, what's in the number, small or large one, i will love you forever after'.

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
When I ask Thou:
Oo…Love
Where are Thou from
and where will we go to ?
Then Thou answer:
Oo…my lover
I am from the big bang deep down in your heart.
My presence is like a lovely white speck
which spouts out from
and then overflows
the black hole of your transitory life
and together with you
we will go to the purely different world
which has no space, time or relativity,
no dream and also no desire,
no-think and nothing.
And somehow or other you do not know it now
we certainly will live in the unthought-of realm happily
and will never die

Tavip Endro Yuwono Poem
(In front of me
little kids are absorbed in their singing and playing.)
I see you singing and playing, Oo…my little friends
and am touched by your natural manner
It is you who are the beauty to me
Beauty is your face with a sweet smile
Warmness is your little fingers when you wave me on
Happiness is all that shines from your beautiful
and clear eyes.
Oo…my Lord
I wish I were the little kid
The owner of everything that is beautiful
In Thy heaven.
(Dedicated to:My dear beloved kid, Viani Karinda Aisha)
