USMAN AWANG

Kekasih (Beloved)

I'l twine the froth of the sea

into a rope

to tie you

I'll weave the waves

into a carpet

for your bedchamber

I'll spin the clouds

into a veil

for your hair

I'll sew the mountain clouds

into a nightgown

for you

I'll pluck the star of the East

a brooch to sparkle

on your breast

I'll bring down the darkened moon

a lamp to light

my desire

I'll sink the sun

embrace your seas of night

drink your crystals of honey

My beloved how many dreams

murder reality

with illusions of heaven
