I know
I am a mystery to you
because even I
the mystery to myself.
–
I know
I was not able to protect your heart
so not to wounded by many battles
on sheets of your incidents
for I was not a commander
your taste and language.
–
I know
I had been failed you thousands of times
because I couldn’t antagonize your enemies
due even I won’t able to arouse hatred
to them who against me.
–
I know
I could not make you happy
for your heart was not in my hand
so that I can paint it
as happy in the caste you want
–
I know
I do not know anything
about you and about me
except for the skin
can be noted by sensory.
–
I know
as long as there are You and I
we will never be able
understand Love as it is.

Thank you very much, Jasmine. If I could know what you liked about the poem, I would be very happy.
to Albert Herdiante Widjojo:
You are so fluent in the use of Languages verbs and adjectives pounding emotion of the poem into Place. To day I noticed the change in the range of usual English grammar and Idiom flow, I wish I could patch in the normal order or words where English would GO, but I know the burning of genius in Poetic creation lights a path in Its own flow and Show.
You’ve made me blush, John. Honestly, I sometimes feel hesitant in grammar, for that please give me feedback if there is something important to adjust. For your caring and appreciation, thank you very much, John
