Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa

I am taking Aspresiasi Sastera for co-curriculum this semester and yes, the reason I'm taking it all because BAHASA JIWA BANGSA and not because I (we) thought it was in English since it was written "LITERATURE APPRECIATION" on the course outline. So, after being tortured half of the semester I only succeed writing two poems, ops, sajak. IT WAS A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT and I don't know why I am writing with the caps lock on. The poems are both completely raw and unedited.

Ternyata Alpa.

Ketika candra bersuluh tidak,

Ketika kejora berkelip tidak,

Malam ternyata kelam,

Namun, 

Ketika mentari bersinar megah,

Malam ternyata alpa. 

Sangkar Kamsatu

Nur rembulan mengintai

sepi tanpa kata,

hening tanpa bicara.

Cahaya kartika menyuluh

Kau dan Aku,

Kita...

Kita,

Kau dan Aku,

Terkunci kata,

Membatu diri,

Mencari, meraba dalam kelam

Malam yang kudus,

Kita,

dambakan malam yang kudus.

Namun,

Terperangkap, terjerat kerana kalbu

dan

tiada bersihnya di dalam

Sangkar kamsatu itu.
