Ismail Nasution Apr 2018
A poet is such a loser
Who only speaks through words;
Hoping a blue moon would occur
Sometime in the future.
But Future is too wild to capture;
Galloping, rushing in a herd.
Soaring like a free bird.

And who am I really?
Just another loser
Who can barely bear
To look you in the eye.
Nothing can compare.
Ismail Nasution Nov 2017
Deru dan hening turun ke hilir
Ingatan kita hanyut menuju muara

Angin meniupkan wangimu
Rindu menyala di perapian
Melahirkan kehidupan tanpa suara

Sedang awan berdusta tentang hujan
Yang tak seindah dari balik jendela
Namun aku lebih membenci jarak
Yang membangun antara sebelum kita

Everyone has had
their say
enough--no more-
goodbye is the final word
as we silently walk away.

Calling out into the canyon,
Echoing, echoing, echoing.
Sometimes I think I'll die there in the morning light, but then--
a Buzzing. You ask if I'm coming home.
I hear the rumbling of the semi trucks
and they sound so tired. They sound like me.
The Gray enshrouds me and it gets hard to breathe.
I think about that night so often.
I thought we would be a Long time
but you disappeared right before my eyes.
Steam rising from my flesh, with my last breath I ask you to stay;
you remind me that I held the blade.

When the shards of glass Pierced
your skin I felt the Stinging
alongside you.
Mouth gone Dry,
at last I see how my love turned Blind
for nothing more than a Flicker and a Shadow.

in the end
we will be back home
and find love

I hope the rain would
Come sooner than tomorrow.

I hope the leaves would
Fall quicker than snow.

I hope you would
Find me up in the sky

I hope
So . . .
Ismail Nasution Nov 2017
I was drowning
in tears of lies,
barely could breathe
in the air of reality

You spilled the ink
of hatred over
on our memories,
intentionally
