ABDILLAH SM : SASTERA - Poetry In English / Panji

panji


here is the ladder
ever we lent
too long at the top
you phantasized
day dream

pretending to forget
we who keep waiting
promises and turns
arrogantly you pushed
this ladder to fall on us
who had given you
a pass!

never will you forget
purpose of a ladder

so,
we are now pushing
the same ladder once again
to your door
before you realize
you are simply
a panji

say this ladder fails
calling you down right
beware our kindness
have you swallowed as long
starts turning your palace
inferno
poisoning
your essential nature

don’t wait till
the statues
talking try
the candles
learning cry.
