Mimpi

Tutuplah pintu
Malam segera merenggut jiwa
Matikan lampu
Biarkan rembulan membara

Hentikan segala suara
Agar kelam bebas bersenandung
Menyanyikan melodi hampa
Buat dunia mimpi puas
Dengan tangisan dan rintihan

Karena aku hanya inginkan
Lagu cinta tercipta pada mentari pagi
Hingga napas ini berhembus lega
Lega karena hanya dalam realita
Keindahan sejati bisa dirasakan hati

A Poem to a Beautiful Evening

Above the water
in the lake
I can see your smile

In the winter wind that blows
I can hear your laughs

Autumn has gone, my love
Winter has come
May your love will never be frozen
Hope it is always summertime for you and me

Jazz

Tunes of jazz
Playing all the tunes
Singing the sweetness of night
With the beats of the dancing soul
And lyrics that spake the rhythm of dreams
I am drowning in the depths of mystic love
Poetic in the language no one sees
Swaying the grasses uneasy
Restless with the warmth
Of the grieving morning

To Her (Red Rose)

To her,
a red rose is for
A kiss to a heart that has melted me
Just when the sun warmly shines
fading away the cold nights

To her,
a red rose is for
where the beauty comes endlessly
the address of every single heart beat
in unforgotten memories of your smile

Let me think of you,
Think of you fondly
Put away the loneliness

Let me hold you,
Hold you eternally
take away my weary mind

of waiting until the dawn comes

(this poem has been composed as a song)

MEMPELAI HATI

Kutitipkan padamu setangkai hati Sirami setiap hari, jangan kau siakan Ingatlah setiap pagi tak 'kan pernah mati Walau musim berganti, jangan kau lupakan Kutitipkan untukmu segenggam harapan untuk kita tuai, tak lama lagi Ingatlah selalu tak 'kan pernah padam Ia tetap menyala, walau ku tak disini Rayakanlah cinta kita setiap hari Dengan bunga-bunga yang mewangi Dendangkanlah syair, buanglah sepi Senyumlah kurniaku, kau tak sendiri Rayakanlah semua mimpi-mimpi Tunggulah aku, sari hidupku Empat musim lagi ku akan kembali Untuk bersama mu, mempelai hatiku Martin Manurung Diatas pesawat Batavia Air, 19/8/05
