One Poem Is Too Short Poem by Cigeng Zhang

One Poem Is Too Short

Rating: 5.0


You come to meet me once a year, yourself
Waiting for me to present you a poem
A poem is too short, only one poem -
What I want to say to you is not enough

I love to give you poetry, emotion and my heart
The only chance I cherish is like a dream
The cold rain is always falling when you come
The rainy season's rain is a heavenly gift

Well, I'm not afraid of the rain, it's alright
In my poem, there are rainbow, eaves and magpies
But you only come to meet me once a year
How I want to give you all my feelings with no tears

A poem is too short, only one poem -
What I want to say to you is not enough

This is a poignant poem - You are showing so much gratitude and readiness for someone in your life. Feelings like these are time travelers, they're already living partly in the future. And because your feelings are genuine, they are telling you the truth: someday it won't be a poem about love, it will be the experience of love, in all of its tenderness and wonder! What matters now is that you are preparing your heart to be the house of love, with thoughts that are generous, feelings that are true, and hopes that are vibrant. This is what I always admire in a poet - who is rehearsing the role she wants to play right now, and will be fully engaged in the future. Poetry and Love are the two ways you become a complete human being. Right, Li Po? Yes, you're right Daniel - True, John Keats? Yes, it's true, Cigeng.
