Joker's Wild Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Joker's Wild

☆ Poetry by Kewayne Wadley


Fell in love with my friend,
I told my heart in confidence,
But it didn't listen,
I loved her deeply, I explained to my heart,
Instead it began to beat faster,
Each thought of her grew,
I told my heart to listen, it began to speak instead,
Was I a victim of fear,
Was my heart cupid and she the target of it's bow,
Was I left all alone,
I grew ashamed of my thoughts,
As they couldn't hide themselves,
My heart began to beat louder,
Loud enough to be heard,
I saw her as the day, my heart saw her as the sun,
We became bitter enemies,
My heart and I,
A bittersweet symphony as the only time we spoke,
Was when her heart spoke first

★ 小丑也疯狂

☆ [美国] 克韦恩•沃德利 (1987-) 诗
☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954-) 译


爱上我的朋友
我秘密地告诉我的心
但心不听
我深深地爱着她，我向我的心解释
相反，心开始更快跳动
一想到她长大
我告诉我的心去听，心开始说不
我是一个恐惧的受害者吗？
我的心是丘比特，她是丘比特的弓对准的靶吗？
我独自一人离去
我产生羞愧感
羞愧感显露
我的心开始汩汩跳动
声音大到足以被听见
我看到她像白天，我的心看见她像太阳
我的心和我
成了死敌
苦乐参半交响曲，我们唯一一次说话
她的心先说话了
