POETRY

Toward Twilight

A lonely hallway, a narrow wall

A footstep that approaching

I am waiting for beloved

Retract the needle from my pulse

Fragrant the roses that become black

Fall and buried

The hand of a little angel

Touch my cheek gently

The twilight that confront me

Eventually disappear

Oh God, forgive these sins

A million dream that delayed

I hear the angel sing

Sing a song about the dream

The sweet dreams that I left

Everything is dark, the world without rainbow

This poetry tell about where someone is in the last time of his life. Twilight means the condition where he almost die. It tells about all his feelings. On the fifth and sixth line mean his condition is getting old. On the last distich means he knows if good thing would come, but he realize if he is not sacred. He realize if his life is full of sins and mistakes, so he feel everything wouldn't be okay.
