“At Noon Time,” Puisi oleh Gerard N Bibang

AT NOON LOVE

(Untukmu yang tidak di sini)

At noon time or rain or shine; You make my day; I am always wordless gaining the courage to tell you; How much I feel inside, you already know; My love for you will never die; This poem is to the special one; Is for you; Is for love coz you are you.

At noon time desires come to have you; To tell you every time I feel; Time makes us apart, I nearly cry; Coz the feelings inside of me are strong; Just like heavy rain fall on and on; There are soft boundaries that needed to be screamed out; At this noon I wait and watch wishing; That I would like to tell you; How much I feel inside.

Time makes us apart; Not only at this noon time; But who dares to say that love is absent thru the absence? You and me have a word and life. It is true that love is not just a word: It’s worth a life;  On you, which depends all the while; It takes lot of guts to say “I Love You”; It takes even more to live my dreams alongside you;  Time keeps on testing us; This may seem to loosen the bond of love that we are in.

At this noon, I am here and you are over there; But you are here essentially; Our love is our being; Not depends on the place where we live; Love means me being there for you, you for me; And silence kills the meaning of what you mean to me; So as being apart; But my heart jumps in joy when I see you smile; When I see you chattering and sharing all the while; Then why do you question the silence has to be part of Love?.

At noon time, I gain the meaning of silence; If silence was always there, we would never have fallen in love; At times it’s good to say a few things;  To let the thoughts out;  Be it good or bad, but it’s good to say; That’s when I will understand your view and maybe, out of the blue; I will be able to let myself out and say ‘I Love you’
