A Man
It’s easy to say you are a man
It’s easy to say you are a gentleman
Even if you want to say you are a superman
It’s still easy to say you are a man
But it’s not only about a man
When you are talking about a gentleman
And you need more than the word man
If you really want to be a superman
Siti Purwaningsih (26 September 2011)
No Fear
Like the dolphin
I will race the ocean
Like the rain
I will wash the dry land
Dark in the upperland
I will show all my light
High in the mountain
I will keep to fight
Have no fear, have the brave
Then I will be strong to face the life
Endah P. R (25 September 2011)
We Do Prevail
Living high, roaming on the sky high
I put my cigarette on my hand
Lift it up facing god
Look! They go home when the sun goes down
Ironic
The world never sleeps
Make our rights, stand, still
Hopes will prevail
Norman C. Dethan (26 September 2011)
In My Heart
There’s something in my heart
Knocking really hard
And just seconds by the start
I got to the dark
Deep inside my heart
There’s somewhere you are guarded
Bounded by endless love
A love of mine
And deep inside my heart
You’re knocking really hard
Draw me to the dark
Let me feel in you
Let me love you
Taofiq (26 September 2011)
Twilight Fairy
She is a twilight fairy in the night
Everyone likes your light
Make them show their might
They trapped at rumble fight
If She shows her wings and flying
The flower is blooming in the spring
She spreads a miracle thing
Everyone is smiling
But, there is one thing
It is me, an useless thing
I am nothing
The weakest man who has nothing
I am frozen and solid
No one cannot break it
If the fairy try break the seal
It is pure kindness heal

Peaceful Sensing
Frightening is the one will never come this far
If we stay in this land
Which we have built since we are kid
Though we are not young enough to laugh this life
In fact life itself is fun enough to laugh
But we are believers instead of a joker
Just treat the best to one another
Keep on your feet and gravity will stay
Full charge battery of laughter
A tower of an anti sadness
Grab your ticket and sailing here
Reprise your heart and we’ll becoming
Talenta Mahardika (23 September 2011)
Bitter Sweet
Burning up the cigarette chain
Regaining the power of cocaine
The pleasure of novacaine
Draw the line between insecure and insane
Live a parade in the rain
Feel the pride over the pain
It’s not an overwhelming sensation
It’s a melodramatic symphony
A black comedy
A joy tragedy
A blur photography
It’s just a childhood memory
Taste you won’t forget
Thing you can’t regret
Time you can’t bring back
Farizza Noor Amalia (27 September 2011)
Sound of My Heart
Please tell me
What should I do
I do love you more
But I can’t tell you more
I get teary if hearing you
I can’t smile if looking you
With all my sadness
You just give that loveless
My heart is calling for you
The sad word is flowing to you
But you can’t hear this scream
And you leave me with the times
I’m sorry for this love
I’m cursing and getting crazy of you
Day after day I live my life
Hoping to end up loving you
I try to deny it
I try to forget you
I bite my lips to hold it
But my love is just for you
Khory Wandira Ambarsari (25 September 2011)
You
I just wanna make you smile
not only for a while
Just because of me
’cause you mean a lot to me
You are my powerful light
teaching me how to fight
give me your best
love me without a rest
You touch my heart gently
you know me perfectly
fill my soul with spirit
like my heartbeat
Rena Indratwuri (26 September 2011)
While Duty Calls
We get the meaning of our stay
hope can live together someday
keep writing, talking, and planning
but everything’s changing
No words to say
It’s hard to go away
Don’t see me in that way
Don’t cry while I’m away
Wait me until that day
I try to find my better way
And please here to stay
cause I’ll be back soon anyway
Arif Rachman A (26 September 2011)
Deadly Feeling
Outside the door heavy is rain
Hiding my sadness is really pain
Slowly the winds come and whisper
Surely I will stand no longer
You always make a fake mistake
You know it’s hurt for Goddess sake
Only good bye I want to say
And nothing no more you have to pay
No sun
No fun
All done
Soon gone
Anna Maria Niera D A (26 September 2011)
Night Bell
We have passed the dawn
With many things have already done
We always welcome the morning sun
With our new spirit
Now we in the noon
Without know what will happen
When sound of night bell is ringing
I wish to the owner of the highest power
He takes us together
Then no one feels alone
Hilda Nency (24 September 2011)
Goodbye
In the end of the night
Angels hold my hands tight
They come from east and west
Always try to give me the best
Can I see your smile
though it just for awhile
I never want to stop there
I always here if you care
When I am dreaming and when I wake
I know all my dreams you take
All I want is the angels just take me away
Cause the world knows how hard to say goodbye
Annisa S Rini (26 September 2011)
Time
Tic toc tic toc
The time goes by
Tic toc tic toc
Nobody realizes what will happen next
Tic toc tic toc
When everybody realizes
It’s too late
Tic toc tic toc
The time is running fast
Tic toc tic toc
Everybody is trapped in frozen time
Can’t escape and save their life
Tic toc tic toc
The time is laughing and running faster
Left everybody behind without any mercy
While the people realize that it’s too late,
They regret it
Nurma Dwi Setyorini (26 September 2011)
Love
Unseen,
Untouch,
Unvoice,
But can be felt
Real, does exist
Seeing everything is beauty
Touching everything is tenderly
Hearing everything is as melody
Smelling everything is sweet
It’s love
Vivi era yuniar (26 Sept 2011)
Precious Feeling
In the middle of the night
I feel something strange
I get the power like a knight
It brings me the strenght
‘Cause you give me something like a beautiful flower
It looks vulnerable but it brings a power
It is more precious than diamond
’Cause it can bring me beautiful mind
However, it can bring a disaster
And it looks like a monster
If you and me break its heart
So, you must be down to earth
Radea Meiqal (26 September 2011)
The Power of Love
I am awake from my sleep
Picking up the dream that you keep
Like the beauty of a rose
Paralyzing my doubts by the ruse
Passing year, month, day
I will never stop to try
Before the dream I reach
It is like your speech
‘Don’t give up before you start’
Slowly the sentence passes through my heart
Fire spirit guide my pace
Only by remembering your face
Anna Salisah K (25 September 2011)
Buried Love
It’s hard to think
it’s hard to say
if you know this heart
if you know this love
I close my eyes
when your shadows in windows
the days like a nightmare
if I do not see your smile
Not all feeling can be showed
not all love can be revealed
my love is so great
it could not be said
You like stars in the sky
that are too high to reach
you are just a dream to me
which could not be come in my reality
Adelia Wulandari (27 September 2011)
I Can
A day to remember
A day when a life fall apart
my life at December
just like a donkey playing smart
The day you left me
The day all things being impossible
A reason you wanted to be free
because with the things seem disable
So hard to get up
to get everything fixed up
because now i’m on my own
doing everything all alone
I’ve put all faith in you
but things going not so right
Now I try not to be blue
because i’d like to see my bright...
Titis F. Parasyantri (25 September 2011)
Written in the Sky
Peace with my love tonight
I wish no more fight
I’ll give you a light
And everything will be alright
Remember!
Closer and deeper!
The day when we met
The happiness then we get
Look! The moon smiles at us
And the stars sing for us
Please, waste away the doubtfulness
Smile for me and don’t be shy
Because our togetherness
Was written in the sky
Elly Prasetya Utami (26 Sept, 2011)
My Little Angel
When I see your face
I look your nice smile in your small lips
When I touch your skin
I always wanna touch and touch it again
I feel worry if you cry
I feel afraid to lose you
However I feel so happy
I feel so amazing
You make me so special
When I have you
You bring me joy
Cause you are the precious thing in my life
Nita Ratnasari (26 September 20011)
Only You
Just show that my love so strong
I’ll never let you go even you’re wrong
I wish to see you everyday
‘Till no one can take you away
You’re angel sent from above
Who brings passion of love
Be still in my heart
Cause my heart like heaven in the earth
Eka Diah Aryuni (26 September 20011)
My Feeling
This feeling was possible
When I met you
It was like bubble
That tempted my feeling too
This feeling came so quick
Like the wind that came every night
And when I without you, I became weak
Because you are my might
Nurul (26 September 2011)
The Journey
Hope as a friend
In every single part of this strange journey
And it will never have the end…
Still they are waiting for something
Waiting for the unclear answer
To be the one of the world’s loving…..
God… please hear me
The sun is not always the sun
Would you make the future clearer to see?
