self portrait
after Red Cone & KS
my eyes
could be
a simple line
a way the pencil
will not go
so let's keep them closed!
I can't draw either
a stroke for smile
or lack thereof
let's hide behind
a thick moustache
a poker face
where nothing's shown
ought to be
simple enough
betrayal!
in the end
my pencil knows
how to portray
a sadness
mataku
setarik garis
hitam pensil
ketidakmampuan
menggambar
biarlah mereka tertutup!
tak bisa pula
tertoreh senyum
atau ketiadaannya
biarlah ia tersembunyi
di balik kumis tebal
wajah datar
tanpa rasa
lukisan
sederhana
pengkhianatan!
pada akhirnya
pensilku menuang
yang tak tertangkap
kesedihanku

lovely, and the tinge of humour with the last word works so well. ( Nice drawing too)
