A Kiss I Stole Poem by Ravi Kopra

Rhymes of love poems floated in my mind
They lighted my soul.
While the music played in the West Garden
And I accompanied you to the dance floor,
Clouds came in floating from the West Ridge.
The lights were dim, my left hand clasping
Your right hand up in the air,
My right arm around your slender waist.
A circle of jasmine flowers around your braids.
We swung, your cheeks closer to mine,
I fleetingly kissed you, and you smiled!

Unforgettable…. - Poem by Luo Zhihai at Pomhunter
难忘

墨韵幽幽飘脑海
书香淡淡沁心怀
西园奏曲陪君舞
南岭流云入眼 来


Unforgettable

The secluded ink rhyme floating in my brain sea
The book fragrance light to penetrate my mind
In the West Garden playing music, I accompanied you to dance
In the South Ridge, the flowing clouds came into my eyes
