A digital painting inspired by the poem dedicated to Mardi Luhung (1)

Yusuf Achmad

Eager me to call you, sweetheart
Controlling  myself is not hard
Food-drink and descendant makes me careless
Lead imagination to fly and oppress

Eager me to call you, beloved
My soul says not the time yet
Me in trap to catch shadow
My pride is just dough

Determine my intention to be great
For you it’s easy to be regret
My dream to be powerful
You say it’s not useful
Me resolute to be idol for all

You answer it’s no meaning at all
Eager me to call you, beloved
I know it is not my deserve
