The Long Stream

20.35 Mettia Indar Pratami 0 Comments


I lay upon the water
contemplate of nothing but a shelter
ah, my reflection!
creaks its own tribulation.

No need a land 
to make you understand 
to be the most captivating human being
is kind of twinging
 I'm incapable, you're extrudable!

The flow draws me from the reality
lets my body droop against its serenity
if you ask me to endure every single struggle
all I can do is giggle or even wiggle.

See, you have no choice.
Accepting is all I wish.

E M B R A CE it.

Stardust

11.28 Mettia Indar Pratami 0 Comments

You're made of a nebula that turned into floating dust
pulled the constellation, walked away in disgust
looked for a cosmic galaxy,
to build a new home, a comet for your fantasy.

When the universe exploded me on the coastal plain,
I tried to grab the trillion miles between your heart and mine
the cosmos felt closer, even hooked in my vein
yet somehow it's inane, the memories just out of my mind. 

The rhythm of the dawn started changing to red
as the shiniest light blended with the dark of night
slowly, your ecstasy drove me mad
reminded me to forget
I wasn't even a knight,
had no sword to fight.

Here I was, stopped by within the dark
dreamed of you I saw the spark
touched it wildly
went along with this absurdity.

Oh, my dearest Stardust,
only the pieces of your name that saved me from the lust.

XX,
