John Florio

The road of love we both had chosen,
And together we both had taken,
I'm in love, and you are aslo in love;
Then why did all these blames come up?
...

I wish you all success and happiness,
in this Thingyan and new year;
Leave behind the past strife and stress,
move on forwards without fear.
...

A Sorrowful Boy

Thanks for the pain you gave me,
And destroyed my greatest joy;
...

Fantasy

O beloved... my sweetest darling,
To make you believe how do I say;
...

What to say how I am going on,
With this life without you;
Crying over the eternal bond,
Dried as the morning dew.
...

Her voice is sweeter than the cuckoo,
And comforting and loving, too;
He who hears her voice for a while,
Becomes happy and gets to smile.
...

"The Spring"

Entered my life like the spring,
Perfuming my day and night;
...

Were we unknown, or were we insane, —
That madly we both contracted this pain;
You couldn't keep me off that you know:
Happiness in the sea of heart would flow.
...

The more I try, the less I forget,
The less I cry, the more I wet —
Alas! no pain is seen, not its flame,
It burns me down, who's to blame.
...

Shwe....

Eyes that kept awake together,
And had dreams at night;
...

I wrote this poem to let you know,
about my love laid on you;
I don't care whether you stay or go,
as I love, I can leave you too.
...

The dream of looking up together,
the skies, shining in full moon;
Even the twinkles of myriad stars,
flickered as if they were strewn.
...

Shwe...

I have no words to express,
your happiness floods in mind;
...

Thanks to all my friends,
Who sent best wishes to me;
I hope this love never ends,
Flows like the unending sea.
...

Of late love is done on social lines
As maggots infest the rotten meat;
Rushly, they make their valentines,
Failed to control their hearts beat.
...

Your so-called five days is like five decades,
How to state my conditions, in which grades;
My heart refuses to beat, and is still and cold,
I'm almost half-dead, but no one can behold.
...

A single, pure heart you have, -
may be inexperienced and naive;
Always keep it under your eyes,
in this age of injustices and lies.
...

Baby, do not cry for that person —
who doesn't know the value of tears;
He just used, and gave you a lesson,
Of life or love, that's beyond your ears.
...

Good-night?
How can I call the lone night good—
I close eyes, but sleep runs away;
Laying on bed like a piece of wood,
...

As far as I know, it's quite different,
From some days, I had ago;
How much do I suffer at the present,
Really you won't ever know.
...
