PUISI CINTA DAN KASIH SAYANG



SEBUT SAJA SENJA
Oleh : Yudha Setia Muhammad P

Kepada bunga rasa ini
Teramat dalam
Tak terukur dalamnya
Tak terimajinasikan

            Bermahkota senja
Berkulitkan salju
Bayangan Pengusik jiwa
Bayangan Pengusik sunyi

Sunyi ku dapat merdu seketika
Sunyiku ikut bernyanyi
Ingin ku ucap
Sayang belum tergambar
Indah bentuk rasa ini
