Instead of doing my job, I visited Nandia's blog and found out about this madlib-poem generator. So, instead of doing my job, or writing my own piece, I tried out the site. And ta-dah. So this is what it would've been like if Ms. Plath and I had ever crossed path. Pretty words, grammatical errors and typos =D


beautiful butterflies's beautiful butterflies
I love my poetrys and all the spirit unlocks process;
I sparkle my chemistrys and all is beam again.
(I bang I drown you up inside my clove ring.)

The secret doors go bruiseing out in jaded and stellar,
And magnificent treasure box illuminates in:
I dwell my jeweled crown and all the debauchery cherishs city lights.

I adoreed that you blasted me into canope of stars
And grab me fabulous, dissolveed me quite fine.
(I bang I drown you up inside my clove ring.)

vanity hugs from the fingertips, owl's robots bless:
entwine heart and balloons's zest:
I dwell my jeweled crown and all the debauchery cherishs city lights.

I mended you'd read the way you disentangle,
But I vanish vast and I squeeze your ghosts.
(I bang I drown you up inside my clove ring.)

I should have radiateed a orchestra instead;
At least when music answers they sprinkle back again.
I dwell my jeweled crown and all the debauchery cherishs city lights.

(I bang I drown you up inside my clove ring.)

- Runi & Sylvia Plath

basket & blanket

you can never know
when ants come to bite
or when dark clouds show up
and there's heavy rain to fight

but there are better days
of rainbows coloring the ray
of the orchestra of flowers,
flutters, sparks and drizzles

i look silly in my round hat
you do too in your napoleon
make believe of European summer
costumes and props, all in neon

and they say we're old-fashioned
true, we are, but also in passion
up and down or light and dark
you and i are a picnic in the park

mind dance

a tap on my window
a tap on my heart
you climbed up the willow
you pulled the shades apart

a tap on your window
a tap on your heart
secrets are kept i know
your sheer poetry, your art

a tap on my door
a tap on your head
a truth or a lore
not to be misread

berbaik hatilah, nila

berbaik hatilah, nila
duri itu tak perlu
di kata suku kata satu
berbaik hatilah, nila
dikira ku tak dengar
hina yang tergesa keluar
berbaik hatilah, nila
sesederhana suatu hari
ku menolak tetap di sini

taptaptap



you could have flapflapflapped
and then taptaptapped
any other window
any other set of eyes so hollow

but you did mine
the message isn't lost on my spine
as the sew, spin and weave come through
i'll be soon flapflapflapping again with you

equal mark vertical slash

i was going to let you in
the pool of reasons
of why i'm here
secrets safely stored

but you said you were bored

i am still here

do you recognize me?
do you recognize me?
do you recognize me?

i don't.

i am still here

decay in convenience

the tired old words
the ticking clock spitted
and the spite that hurts
the unsettling pity was heard

and none can say why
comforting sounds were made
fairytales instead of cries
so you not fall and break

and none can tell
the reason to linger
we've broken the spell
to feed only your hunger

say, say, say
let's say goodbye.

the tired old words
the ticking clock spitted
and the spite that hurts
the unsettling pity was heard

lelaki tua mendongeng
tentang malam hari
jatuh cinta pada terang
kerling matahari

dan gadis kecil menangis
"hanya fajar dan senja
--pun tak seberapa--
milik mereka"

tanpa satu detak
terlambat atau terburu
"dan gerhana, nak, kelak"
lelaki tua menutup buku

gadis kota

tak apa
pelangiku rupanya

merah
pantulan rem-rem yang berebut terdepan
kuning
pantulan peringatan hati-hati rebutan
hijau
pantulan tanda masuk terowongan panjang
di aspal
yang basah menyanyikan bisikan janji pulang



dan tak apa.

kerlip

adalah pendar tutur lagumu
yang kuikuti diam-diam
seperti kepik merah totol hitam
berhinggapan dari bunga melati
kuning labu dan matahari

adalah pendar tutur dongengmu
yang kukagumi diam-diam
seperti kunang-kunang kemerlip
mengedip genit memberi asa
pada malam berdegup resah

lihat, berkilauan air danau
tersiram bulan waktu malam
menari-nari gemintangan
mengikuti lagumu yang terdengar
jauh, jauh sampai hatiku berdebar

adalah itu dan semuanya
menggelembungi kau dan aku
terduduk manis terlibat embun pagi
kembali menanti kepik merah totol hitam
berhinggapan pada bunga melati

*by me and dearest Sindy

piknik setelah hujan

kupu-kupu menjadi jenuh,
katamu, berulang
kata ulang berulang-ulang


yang kau tak tahu,
bunga-bunga terompet kuning
--yang memainkan parade rahasia,
menggantikan gemuruh gendang,
di tanah, di sekeliling kau,
yang lelap dan celemotan
dengan arbei biru--
tidak gugur dari pohonnya

namun rasaku yang meluap.

Pandora

one-button-eyed teddy halted her
fuzzy pink bunny caused a stir
raggedy ann parted from rag-andy
cornered her and tried to offer candy

really, we all have tried our best
the retired fool even tried to, well, jest
united, we fought and sent SOS through the static
each and every one of us, broken toys in the attic

even the sandman with a hole on his bag
used up his very last drop, that poor ol' rag
we're sorry, but there is nothing we can do
for we have stalled while she was waiting for you

poor girl, she thought it was the pirate's chest
filled with treasures, pretty dresses and zest
but now the demon has come back to claim
a part of her that you can never, ever, tame

don't rush to the other side, dear
so cold, it'll burn you down
the monster will swallow the stars whole
and even the moon will turn pale

don't forget to remember, dear
we have our own demon to fight
the unstoppable we keep stalling
for the sake of the secret in the attic
broken toys of midnight and twilight

and yes, we will always be
running out of time, dear

come, shush, not too loud, dear
hide the chuckles beneath the whisper
come, let's dissolve in the pixie dusts
dance to the orchestra of ghosts
shush, not too loud, not too loud,

come back into the blanket, dear

jangan lupa
di awal kita juga
anak-anak berlarian
berlomba ke ayunan
kau meniup balon merah dan aku melepasnya ke angkasa
mencuri-curi detik berlari dari monster besar yang akan menangkap kalau kita melewatinya
berbisik rahasia dan tertawa dan bermain kata dan belajar merasa
melanggar aturan bersembunyi di balik bayangan dan tertawa rahasia
dikejar-kejar monster bulat bertangan dua dan berkaki satu yang berlari selalu
bernyanyi berdansa berputar-putar berputar-putar
tersenyum malu berjingkat pelan
ssst, jangan sampai ketauan
larilarilarilarilarilarilari
lari
bergandengan.


tertawa terengah-engah
aku mohon padamu, hentikan monsternya!
kalahkan! kalahkan! kalahkan! walau memang percuma
kau acungkan kepalan tinju dan menantangnya maju
"jagoanku," aku di belakangmu
larilarilarilarilarilarilari dan di balik bayangan bersembunyi lagi
kita aman di sini
terengah-engahterengah-engah
kau tiup lagi balon merah
tiup sampai begitu besar dan kita masuk ke dalamnya terbang melihat dunia berwarna karet mulur merah tipis
kita aman di sini

jangan lupa
kita,
anak-anak berlarian nakal
menyanyikan mantera memutari api unggun
menyalakan kembang api menjaga pendar-pendar menemani kunang-kunang
menemani bintang-bintang

jangan lupa
dan walau kita tersesat
jangan lupa
dan tercerai dalam gelap
jangan lupa
lelatu itu tak pernah mati
jangan lupa
lelatu itu hanya kita simpan
jangan lupa
kita juga anak-anak
berlarian senang dengan kembang api

my shoes

it's beyond caring,
it's beyond telling the truth
it is just pure spite.

selagi kalian sibuk mengepak gembira di luar
--menganyam di antara bunga--
jangan lupa akan sayapku

perbaiki dan bawa aku pergi dari sini
