A sprig of carnations

you gave me yesterday afternoon

When dusk was shining

Under the sprawling kemuning tree

The fragrance was not swept away by the breeze

A sprig of carnations rolling with love

Carving love in the soul

Striking a burning longing

Just for a moment

Just a second of time passed

A sprig of carnations a sign of your love

A sign of the last flower

That I don't want to forget you

Even though we are separated in plain sight

Because you are more loved by the Creator

Let me keep a sprig of carnations in my soul

A sign that our love is unforgettable

AKU TAK BAIK-BAIK SAJA

 Karya Niken Haidar

Sejuta kata ingin kutuangkan

sumpah serapah yang mengiang

beban rasa, beban jiwa

ingin kulemparkan ke angkasa

ingin kuhilangkan dari pelupuk mata

ingin kuhilangkan dari lubuk jiwa

entah dosa atau tidak

tiada kugubris sudah

bila mentari dikatakan rembulan

rembulan dikatakan senja

Sebatas apa?

Itu tanya yang kuberikan ?

karena kini kuakui

aku tak baik-baik saja
