Flower in Your Hair

is that a flower in your hair?
or am i hallucinating in despair?
it’s been a while since i’ve lost for words…
now they’re jumpin’ outta my tongue, fly like birds…

do i see stars inside those eyes?
or am i looking too hard for a surprise?
it’s been too long for this soul o’mine…
searching for a touch, so tender, so fine…

is that a flower in your hair?
or am i hallucinating in despair?

(Okki Kameswara, Bandung, 2001)

This poem was written by old good friend, Okki or we called him Bunna. He's funny, a bit sarcastic, a bit cynical yet very romantic. And  I don't cross out the word 'very'. Mweeeee -_-
We went to the same campus, I used to read, listen, and look at his works (he also creates songs and drawing illustrations).
A few weeks ago I found this poem, and I told him. He just laughed and guessing  who the girl was on his mind at the time that inspired him. Phffffttt :p
