CELL
Let us take a stroll
to trace back the corridor after the corridor
to know again
span after span
which is familiar,
maybe too familiar,
to us.
No, no, do not ask.
Just walk, walk around, only walk,
because here,
and beyond,
we know,
there is no answer
--in room after room
only complaints, mournings,
babbles that sound—
Let us take a stroll
around, and around, and just walking around,
trying to be amazed
by something maybe neglected,
trying to continue to love
what maybe cast-off.
No, no, do not ask where to go,
as it has been long time ago
since we know
that the streets,
the corridors,
were deadlocked
--in room by room,
there are more and more
complaints, lamentations,
babbles—
Here
Maybe, what we need to do is waiting,
just waiting,
between the walls of time
behind the lattices of days
the sun passes by,
goes by.
Here
in a room which is not spacious,
maybe what we need to do is waiting,
just waiting,
the days go by
pass by
until the turnkey comes
and opens the door
to open the door...

I really like how this can be interpreted in different ways. A physical room or a room in your mind are 2 that come to mind. So many of us get trapped by our own minds it is like a cell waiting to be opened up and let out. Very nice poem.
Thank you for your appreciation...
@zaimrofiqi you're very welcome :)
I really love the message of just trusting, waiting, walking without knowing where to go. I need to remember that sometimes. Thank you <3

Oh, it's about a prison cell? The first picture mislead me and took my mind somewhere else at first. Great stuff! :-)
Like literary works generally, this poem is also free to be interpreted according to your wish...;)
I think a work of art is called successful if it gives the possibility of various interpretations for its readers ...
