I was born Indonesia and I wrote a lot of verses since high school. Some were published in local newspaper supplement. When I was in London UK I wrote a few.

and plea for the present to last
before the future beckons me to...

You promised to build a beautiful castle
Where we could live in our ethereal dreams
But our real life is not what it seems
As most of the time we have to wrestle
With our substantial...
