Three Poems by Sri Wintala Achmad
IN LONG DRY SEASON
For the grass in long dry season
I have been taught about dew's pray
As Sufi taking the sun as a teacher, up to
The passing wind felt as soft as baby's touch
When the broken hope which burns my soul
Tempting me to do a sadistic suicide
Indonesia, 2009
THE OLD NIGHT
The moon is above house's roof
The trees are saying a holy pray
But your dearest are crying
There shall be loose
Indonesia, 2009
TREE POEMS ABOUT ROCK
(1)
Sun's my father
Sea's my mother
Rock is me
Missing the dropped water
(2)
Sun teaches me about reddish sky
Burning soul before to fight
Sea tells me about blueish wave
Touching softly before to take bath
(3)
For sun I'm proud
For sea I love more
I'm rock being peace
In the trouble world
Indonesia, 2009
Poem by Sri Wintala Achmad
BESIDE THE POOL
The boy throws a little stone
Into the pool, but
When the water vibrates
He cries, caused that
His shadow has been lost
Before coming back, the boy
Begins to unlike with his parents
Because as the pool, they
Have broken his dream
To be himself
Indonesia, 2009
The boy throws a little stone
Into the pool, but
When the water vibrates
He cries, caused that
His shadow has been lost
Before coming back, the boy
Begins to unlike with his parents
Because as the pool, they
Have broken his dream
To be himself

Poems by Sri Wintala Achmad
POEM OF LOVE
for Seda Tura
In the silence, love's
As a thieve who comes into my house
No doors and windows she has opened
In the darkness, love steals
My heart kept in the iron-box
No key she has used
When the morning, love can't
Go out from my house
Caused that I'll give more
Indonesian, 2009
LOVE SONG IN THE MORNING
If the birds don't sing again
Don't let the sun sends love
Making a blue color for sky
If the river makes a silence-flow
Don't let the fishes swim there
Caused that the love's just shadow
Making hurt in heart
If the wind doesn't make vibration
For trees' leaves, then
Don't say I love you
Caused that it had been died
In the deepest tomb
Indonesia, 2009

SPECIAL POEM FOR Katie Watkins
THE FIRST RAINY
For Katie Watkins
The cloud that flies to the north-east
Making me to remember for father
Coming come with his love
For mother, the dry ground
Burnt by the sun of silence
The first rainy is father's love
Making wet for mother's dry heart
Missing to soft touch on chest
Up to the morning is as watcher
In which the life is as green as love without dust

POEM BY SRI WINTALA ACHMAD II
SONG FOR DEAREST
Night' sky has no light
Her moon and stars I've stolen
For my dearest who don't know
Where the street she'll come home
When the cloud covers fullly her heart
Don't cry, my dear
Caused that your sadness
Only needs light
:The God you've forgotten
As the lamp of life
Indonesia, 2009
REFLECTION
When the morning has come
Open the window
In order to see
The life still flaws
Like the river in front of our house
When the evening has come
Close the window
In order to see
The life must be reviewed
Like the mirror in our room
Indonesia, 2009
THE SEA
The sea is mother's love
Reflected by its green color
The sea is a couple of sadness and happiness
Reflected by its wave
The sea is poetry book
Reflected by its mysterious
The sea you has seen well
Your life that is as hard as its rock
Indonesia, 2009
LESSON ABOUT GOD
In the darkness
You'll look at night
;The God who lives
In your sad heart
Indonesia, 2009
LESSON ABOUT FATE
The card you've received well
As yourselves fate given by God
So, don't cry although it's sadness
Caused that it's like the night
Whose darkness shall change
To be a sun flower
Indonesia, 2009
EARLY MORNING
The door you've opened
For nobody, but sun
Sending a message
:The fight shall be begun
For men who are proud
With blood, no tear
Indonesia, 2009
WHEN THE LOVE IS DEAD
The love you ever assumed as God
It's just the lamp having no light
When your dearest sells her heart
To the prostitution markets, then
What will you hope from her
But the body that is owned by dead women
Indonesia, 2009
NO NEW THING YOU WRITE IN THE DAILY BOOK
Why do you still write in the daily book
If the sun rises from east and shines to west
There are no new things, but
The routine activity making a cause
You want to kill yourselves
Indonesia, 2009
POEM YOU'VE WRITTEN
No poem you've written
but words that make a nice dream
Although they are only fire balls
Related each other as the sun
Burning you before the door you open
Going from home to fight
With yourselves fate
Indonesia, 2009
STUDENTS UNLIKE THE FORMULA OF X + X = 2X
By their teacher, students
are thought about the formula
x + x = 2x. therefore
they are angry. Caused that
it is an exact thing
which shan't make them rich
as ones living in the poor country
opens the door for all thieves. Then
they like that it is x + x ≤ 2x
no paying attention with others
living in the sadness
Indonesia, 2009
AS THE FISH
Fish which swims in the pool
: My confused brain I don;t know well
When it'll be silent in the sleep
Being free from dreams
As the fish which swims forever
No business I can do, but
Waiting for the time of death
In which I'll sleep in silence
Indonesia, 2009
THE HOUSE OF TOMB
The house where I live in
As my tomb has no candle's light
But darkness which shall kill you
Making no hurts to your body
Indonesia, 2009
THE LITTLE PIGEON
For Seda Tura
Pagupon I let to be opened its door widely
As my house of love for the little pigeon
Which shall paint by blue color
On the canvas of sky, my white silence
Before the twilight, she
shall come back to your house, my heart
In which we will give light for dark night
Like a couple of proton and electron related each other
Indonesia, 2009
Note
Pagupon (Javaness language), pigeon's house that has form of box and made from either wood or bamboo.

POEM BY SRI WINTALA ACHMAD I
MONDAY MORNING
Time's hands dug tomb at yard
for the man taking his life, because
the sun's cost was more expensive
than the rainbow's
MY SON DREW CAT
The cat my son had drawn
It face was his, after
Stealing his mother’s fried salt fish
from her plate
AFTER MAKING LOVE WITH NIGHT
Today, it's waste of coffee in the cup
and the worst dream
Fried by the sun
THE CLOUDED MORNING
By telephone someone told
:"Your mother has left old station
No waving hand and words!"
THE MACHINE MOUSE’S DEATH
Struck against the truck, the machine-mouse
His blood that flew on the street
: As smile as farmers' sweat
MY QUEEN AND MY SUN
The eyes my queen's
: A couple of silver dews
When made love to my sun
THE MAN IN THE SUNS
Shot by a time's arrow
the man's heart was burnt
by the suns
BEFORE SLEEPING
In the refrigerator
the sun kept
freezing as a time bomb
TAKING LIFE IN THE CLASS
From the teacher's blackboard
26 letters and 10 figures jumped
into my son's head
Lying in thousands viruses
LOVE I
Rose and thorn
making love on the vase
GAMBLER
Opening the second heart '10 card
After the first king
The gambler tore all
On his last death's table
BESIDE THE POOL
My son threw a little stone into the pool
creating much wave of power. But
He had been lost his shadow of dreams
IN THE OLD NIGHT
As a best night's friend
the poet buried his dream for all stars
into the poetry dug as a tomb
before the sun would kill him again
in the other fighting
CHILDREN STUDIED DRAWING IN THE CITY
All buildings the children had drawn in the city
: their tombstone of death, after
they were killed by the teachers
in a slaughter school
PLAYING GUITAR
it has fallen in love, the man
Plays guitar up to the highest scale
Bringing about one of its broken strings
tore to rags his heart
LOVE II
The black pool the man's house
Where you'd come into it
as a white lotus
MY SON AND HIS PC
In front of the PC, my son peeped at his God
Beyond the perforated windows
:"He sings love, whilst
Drinks off some bottles of Vodka, Dad!"
My son had been angry, since
the peeped God wasn't as great as the praised
in his grandfather's old Holy Script. Then
He put thousands macros into the PC, so that
the godliness would be killed intelligently
THE SCULPTURE OF STONE
The sculpture of stone the man
Had no dream again, for
His head was been sawn by time
as a nicest thieve last night
MY ROOM FRIEND IN AFTERNOON
In the room all hands of o'clock
Hunted the little boy drooping beside steel door
Locked by his father having work for a day
PARANGBOLONG IN EVENING
Diving into the sea, the sun
Put on a couple of golden fins
and swam to fishers' fish-hook
: Those metropolitan men being hungry to love
FOLDING SUN
The sun the man folded once more
: Its heat was hell
Created by him to be greatest king's crown
for queen from misty empire
: The heaven of heart
MY SON AND THE POOL
My son threw a little stone
into the pool creating its arrogance
"Dad, I don't have my shadow again"
THE CLIMBER’S PRAY
If I've been climbed on your mountain
Of course, you won't want the wind
Putting out my flag
but the signal you give forever
through its language of fire
THE DAILY BOOK
I
No leaves I look at
Making green for the earth
The sun is my daily enemy
II
Like the earth I miss sun
The man who will change
Revenge to be love
III
The window I shall open
Your heart having been closed
When the love changes to be dog pound
IV
The sun you see
The love that gives honey
By his fire burning your soul
V
Coffee you put on the table
Your love of all loves, after
We have made love in this night
VI
Taking all of dreams on the bed
Up to sleeping is as a nicest space, when
Night has been fulfilled by rainbows
VII
What long I have wait you
The dearest in my nice dream crashed
By wind when the morning comes
VIII
Seeing wave in the chest
She is an ocean teaching me
About mysterious of love
IX
The sun flowing on day’s river
Being like her burning my frozen hope
After the night the ocean of ice
X
The rainbow that makes colorful curve
Like gate in which I shall come into
The stupid jokers’ house
XI
The blue sky the poem of love
She creates for me
When the sun shall come back
To his night bed
XII
No ones I have caught
All of them pass like wind
But my heart can feel about
XIII
Being back to your home
After going around the time
As watch’s hands which wants
To stop at the end point of 00.00
XIV
Candle stirring up the desire of love
Makes you sad, when the night
Just the clot of silence is
XV
Opening the cover of daily book
When you want to stay for a moment
Visiting to the forgotten love’s home
XVI
Nothing I know where the wind comes from
Going too far no saying goodbye, after
Putting out candle’s flame in the visiting room
THE DAYTIME'S DOWNPOUR
(Short Letter for Tukoku Kamei)
Under the sky the arousing timpani of thunder
The Rain's gratings were her curving fingers
Playing the violin of defeat
For all dreams about the deteriorating sun
Buried no strewn flowers, but
Sadness the rain played on old tins
Felt by her it was the triangle
Pouring its tears out
From the deepest hurt heart
To twilight where the day
Closing its black screen
FOR POET WHO BURNS THE GOD'S HOLY BOOK
(for Mathori A. Elwa)
We'd witnessed
The poet burnt the god' script
By way of the raging egoism
On the past big wok
Dwarf men dancing
Went all around the big wok, while
Sang for poet's victory
On one dream as the god of gods
After the fire was out
And they began to be tired for dancing
The poet webbed for the sake of shortcomings
Bought by no poetry's purchasing power
As the witness
I'd written it more
The poet took his life
By way of his revenge's fire
MY SON AND ZIDAN
My son asked for plastic ball
"I dream to be Zidan, dad"
At my home yard -- as wide as bathroom
Under Zidan he trained playing soccer
"Don't be him honored as the greatest king
In gold bird's cake, when His brittle feet
aren't powerful for just one goal!"
At the soccer's field -- as wide as Senayan
My son who was a little referee
Stabbed Zidan's heart by red card
The super star was dead in long sadness
My son asked for individual ball
"Dad, I'll play soccer without him
In the prison which was wider than world."
TERBOYO TERMINAL IN THE EARLY MORNING
Suddenly, the bus visiting at terminal
Just spreading seeds of desire. But
Why did the dark sky cry for bus' howls
Going down one by one?
THE OLD CITY STATION
The old city' station you'd left behind
It was just as man's bed, after
Fighting to the sun
As fate as the singing beggar you sang about tears
On the rock which hadn't been finished for a day yet. But
When the new station had been in front of eyes
The hell your face, then
Would you still wrote poems above all dreams
Created by the train trip
THE KILLED MECHANICAL MOUSE
On the street of the center city
The mechanical mouse had been killed
Her heart was broken by police's bullet
The men having a head of wild boar
But her mouth' spittle the fragrance of farmers' sweat
The people flowing love more
As clear as river's water under green hill
To the farms burnt by the dry season' sun
The mechanical mouse had been dead
No ceremony, flower, candle, prayer, tear
And terrible news written by news papers
Cause the death had been a common case
In this country known well
As God's empire. But
It would be recorded in the books of poetry
UNDER THE WAVING FLAG
The waving flag of the old building
It was like an eagle forgotten by wind's fingers
Whose wings scratched for the red sky forever
Up to the color of twilight the country
Burnt by fire put out from its owners' heart -- the ones
Singing "Indonesia Raya" in all together. But
Their sound the hoarse trumpet's
Blown in the new years
Under the flag whose waving spirit
It Never reflected their ancestors' desire
