ABOUT A GIRL
by Roni Sita Widyastuti
Her cheek as red as rose
Her heart as harmless as a dove
Her face as round as an apple
Her body as round as a bell
Her will as tough as nails
Her skin as white as snow
Her lips as red as a blood
She dresses as proud as a peacock
She felt as cold as a fog
She moved as graceful as a swan
She acted as gentle as a lamb
Her words as silent as a grave
A grave
A silent place where she really exist
Young girl, young dying girl
A girl
The one who was wet behind the ears
Her heart as harmless as a dove
Her face as round as an apple
Her body as round as a bell
Her will as tough as nails
Her skin as white as snow
Her lips as red as a blood
She dresses as proud as a peacock
She felt as cold as a fog
She moved as graceful as a swan
She acted as gentle as a lamb
Her words as silent as a grave
A grave
A silent place where she really exist
Young girl, young dying girl
A girl
The one who was wet behind the ears
PUISI TENTANG SEORANG GADIS
Pipinya semerah bunga mawar
Hatinya selembut merpati
Wajahnya sebulat apel
Hasratnya sekeras paku
Kulitnya seputih salju
Bibirnya semerah darah
Ia berdandan sebangga burung merak
Ia merasa sedingin kabut
Ia bergerak seanggun angsa
Ia bertindak selembut anak domba
Kata-katanya sesunyi kuburan
Kuburan
Tempat yang sunyi di mana ia benar-benar ada
Gadis muda, gadis muda yang telah tiada
Seorag gadis yang masih polos dan masih sangat belia...
