Your Tearing Face Is Like A Flower With Dew Poem by East Sea Fairy Xing Yi

By MAO Pang Translated by East-sea Fairy

Covered with tears, your face
Gives the impression of a flower with beads of dew.
Between your eyebrows sorrows and sadness interlace,
which look like range upon range of hills true.
I'm right here sharing it with you,
so you're not alone, my bird,
in suffering the feeling of saying adieu.
Gazing long at each other with our eyes tear-blurred,
we can't say a word.

The clouds spread.
stopped the rain.
It makes me feel dread
for all blisses aren't going to remain
and from now on for days and months I have to suffer the pain
of loneliness my heart and soul fed and catered.
In a monks' cottage plain
on the mountain tonight I'm going to keep my body anchored,
but with the tides will be back to you my broken heart unaltered.
