asmaradhana is an exploratory space in reflecting life experiences by Maria Melania Lallo. Most of her work is inspired by culture, tradition, and spiritualism.

Live in New York

You got me lying on the ground, but if you find me don’t mess me round.
— The SIGIT

 

If by any chance someone has truly touched your heart,

all those who follow will only find uncertainty.

 

When you asked me about love, I saw the fate of humankind.

Accursed beings with a too short arm span and too lengthy desires,

here in New York.

When I asked you about love,

you gazed at the clear sky overhead… a delight to those who look on it

but which cannot be possessed,

here in New York.

 

If I could live in New York…

If I could live in New York with you

If only I could live in New York.

 

Ketika Sampai Pada Akhirnya
