CR-A3

Memang buat ke toko buku itu kita kudu teliti, gak jarang buku yang bagus and unik tersembunyi di antara buku-buku yang hanya menarik pada sampulnya saja. Memang disini aku nggak bilang kalo buku yang lain itu cuma bagus sampulnya, mungkin cuma masalah selera buku aja, tiap orang punya kesukaan yang berbeda-beda. 

Aku nemuin sebuah buku di rak bagian sastra, terletak dibagian bawah sendiri dan sampulnya udah lecek, iseng buka aja sih buku yang judulnya Fruits-Flavours of Life ini, ternyata isinya kumpulan puisi bahasa inggris dan ada beberapa puisi bahasa indonesia-nya. Kagetnya liat harganya, 20.000 dan didiskon 70% jadi 6.000 doang. Agak kasian sih sama buku ini kesannya kurang apresiasi. Tanpa pikir panjang langsung bawa buku ini ke kasir selain karna udah malem, juga toko bukunya udah mau tutup, sampe kasir penjaga kasirnya pun kaget begitu liat harganya :)

Menariknya buku ini selain berisi puisi-puisi karangan Marrysa tentang kehidupan sehari-hari juga packaging nya lucu, banyak gambar buahnya di beberapa puisi, itu salah satu alasan kenapa aku beli buku ini. Aku tulisin beberapa puisinya ya..

Stupid Poem

Do you love me?

Just answer my question as simple as the question!

Do you love me?

Why so much trouble just for a question?

Do you love me?

Bullshit with all the sad songs and sentences!

All I need is just an answer for...

Do you love me?

Simply by yes or no

And all the consequence will be all on my side

What is this??!!

You respond a question with a question!

What kind of answer is that!

Okay I will answer yours,

Yes I love you!

And if I don't love you,

I will find the way to love you!

Now,

Do you love me?

Upon Blue

Oh blue sky,

Have you anything to say to me?

Oh blue sky,

Have you heard music in the night?

Oh blue sky,

Have you seen my sunset?

if you have

Would you take me there?

Oh ocean blue,

Have you seen a mermaid before?

Oh Ocean blue,

Have you seen my sunrise?

Oh Ocean blue,

Have you heard the song of the green meadow?

So if you have

Would you tell me?

Begawan-Bali, 1990

Flawlessness

I am a pain virgin

Thy used to call me endless

But you can call me whatever you like

When I talk about

love

It inscribes my first name

Extraordinary thing happens

When I smile

My sweat turns into honey

And when I hum

The entire roses bloom

Birds singing, 

Horses running, 

Butterflies acting upon ballet in the air

I am a pain virgin

You will adore me

Once you spell my name

I am an anthology of desire

Can you spell it?

Sick Rose
