Puisi Lama / Old Poems

Selagi bersih-bersih di kamar, saya menemukan berbagai dokumen lama yang ternyata masih saya simpan. Puisi-puisi berikut bukan karangan saya. Yang saya ingat, puisi-puisi ini saya catat dari majalah remaja terbitan Australia yang dibawa ke sekolah oleh teman saya dulu. Saya lupa siapa yang membawa majalah itu. Sudah lama sekali, mungkin sekitar 10 tahun lalu. Saya tidak catat nama majalahnya tetapi saya mencatat nama pengarang puisi seperti yang tertera di majalah.

While cleaning my room, I found many old documents that turn out I have kept all this time. These following poems are not mine. I remember copying these poems from an Australian teen magazine brought to school by my schoolmate, I forgot whom. It’s a long time ago, perhaps it’s been 10 years. I didn’t note down the name of the magazine, but I did note down the poem authors as written in the magazine.


Berikut puisi-puisi cantik itu. Here are those beautiful poems.

SOMEONE TO LOVE
-Mary, VIC-

I want someone who’ll save me from drowning when things get tough
I want someone who’ll understand me when I feel like I’ve had enough
I want someone to share my secrets with, someone who’ll hold me when I feel alone
I want someone who knows how to find me when my mind is stuck in another zone
I want someone who’ll listen to me, someone who’ll always be there
When I’m down, I just want to know that
There is someone who knows my mind
Someone who fits me like a glove
But more than anything else
I just want SOMEONE TO LOVE


THE CRUSH
-Chanelle, NSW-

Did you ever really like a guy and know he didn’t care?
Did you ever try to talk to him but he pretends that you’re not there?
Did you ever really like a guy and know he didn’t feel the same?
Did you ever hope he’d be the one who’d one day change your name?
Did you ever wish upon a star, that he’d look into your eyes?
Did you ever wish he’d say he loves you more than any other guys?
Did you know that it wouldn’t happen; that there’s no way it could ever come true?
Did you ever think it’s so unfair, no-one could love him more than you?
Did you ever feel the same as me and hope he’d understand?
Did you ever hope he’d change his mind and one day be your man?
