Love in Poetry

Pasin Blo Tingting

Mi missim yu, mi missim yu
Mi sidaun sore stap
lo maunten bilong Karokata,
na naispla kol win iraunim mi
na mi salim tintin igo lo yu
my Rorovana

Yu silip sore olsem mi
lo nambis daun bilo lo lek bilong mi.
Yu drin wara Pine
na hamamas.
Na olgeta de yu lukluk not
na driman lo meri Buka
yu say em stap lo aiwei rot
na singsing mo.

Na taim san igo daun
baksait lo asples Donsiro
yu karai na mi sore na karai tu.
Mitupla krai wanem taim bai em kam
dispela meri Buka
na aiwei kar i lap
na go.

Pokpok Island

My little sunshine
always sucking my two breasts
o love, and sweet future.

Mother

My mum ain't a myth
but the milk of the day
and the warmth of the night...
Long live mama,
oh Bougainville

Invisible Sting

In the skin there was hope
of a gleaming future.
Fully fledged was my devotion
to the Banoni lass.
Our nooky nights were unrelenting
as the moon said so.
But then,
the sun never came
and gone was the song
with the wind of the December nights
and estranged I was
in pure wonder.
