Yatti Sadeli's poetry
SILHOUETTE
The room I was in felt quiet
The night wind cuts your skin
Moonlight illuminates
darkness
And in the arc of the sky in the gaps of wind and mirage
There was a beautiful silhouette before my eyes
Who dances in the light of the full moon
Which continues to haunt my consciousness
Which makes me lulled into the embrace of the night
The moon with its rays is so beautiful
And a red line at the edge of the sky
Like a watercolor painting
Like that silhouette in the twilight
The leaves sparkle in the gentle breeze
Lying face down on the grass
Looking at the moon hoping to fall asleep lulled by dreams about you
Between the twinkling stars
I speak to myself and convey the words of my heart
Where are you, dear heart?
I miss dancing in silent song
When the silhouette of your incarnation moves away
I mourn the loss that brings so much pain to my heart
Because you are the beauty that was created
Who always illuminates the darkness
You are the creation of the creator's masterpiece
Leave things for a moment
Accompany me in the darkness of the night
But you still go in silence
Leave an inch of loneliness behind
In the silent song that you whisper.
