The flower, scattered
The leaves, old
The riverbed, iced
You not yet appeared
...
What is behind the poet?
A lonely heart through a night
What is behind the moon?
...
New skylight covers your old rooftops
Your hands shield your wrinkled smile
In faith, how I want to see your face
So, don't be shy - don't be so shy!
...
Once to the sky of my childhood
I blew countless soap bubbles, and
Looked up, murmuring some words
...
some pieces of fallen leaves of last year
turned very silky like cicada's wings
kept well in a book
...
I hope my wall
Fully hung with your pictures
Each expression on your face
is my memory clearly on you
...
Leaves are silently falling
A sea of butterfly rippling
How I want to lie down
...
I know your heart
Gentle like floret
Want to talk to you
Your lips closed tight
...
The lotus in the pond
bursts into bloom for me? !
I dare not to disturb
the perfection of her grace
...
stand at the silver sparrow pavilion
gaze into the distant horizon
someone starts moving toward
...
Lightly drizzling
through the whole night
A whisper of mumbling
like a poet's heart, fit most
...
in the lakewater near a farmyard
smiling faces mirrored in rouge red
happy foreheads
...
I worry the clouds are parting
My eyes are getting lonesome
I worry the wind is roaring
...
You are different from the other
Why, you look so deep and heavy
Your artery turns into inky color
Hills around you are all lively
...
Why is everything so short, so short?
Just like a flowering day quickly past
But I always remember the briefness
that concentrates your life full of vitalities
...
I see a vast field of brown colored flowers
in a countryside, like small chocolate balls
This's a clear sign of the mid-autumn festival
...
Always work on it, won't stop poeming for I adore a heart of the poetic. My world turns purer and more supernatural because of poetry. Poetry is my soulmate who helps me release my heart of joy and pains. Thanks to POETRY, you know my lonely heart that becomes talkative in this lyrical garden. How wonderful!)
Still For You
The flower, scattered
The leaves, old
The riverbed, iced
You not yet appeared
The wind, heavy
The fog, hazy
The coral, reddened
I'm coming in sincerity
Like a sheeny canary
I sing an easy ballad
Sing your name repeatedly
Along the road you passed
