Encounter Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Encounter

☆ Poetry and Translation by Luo Zhihai (China)


Desiring to contact with you long time
And short parting
In being a hurried goodbye
But forgot to ask your name
And phone numbers

Don't know your name
Does not matter
In big crowd
I will recognize you

Don't know your numbers
Does not matter, too
I will communicate with your heart and pulse
Stop by neither wind nor rain

But Buddha says
Five hundred years of practice
Only exchanges for his passing
A thousand years of practice
Only pulls his fingers
This time you met by chance with him
Exhausted a hundred years waiting of you
And a thousand years of love

What year is it?
There is such
A heartbroken rule
There is such
Cannot see again in misery

I really regret
When you gave me
With your favorite look
With your filling enthusiasm
I was shyly to dodge
Timidly whispered

I was bound by secular
I was swayed by prejudice
Dare not to brave face
Your look
Your enthusiasm
Dare not to accept joyfully
Your burning hot
Your sweet honey

Buddha ah!
Can you turn back the time
To give me again
With coincidence of his passing?
To give me again
His love of mutual help and relief in time of poverty?

★ 邂逅

☆ 罗志海 新诗


渴望与你长相交
短别离
可匆匆道别
却忘了问你的名字
还有手机号码

不知道你的名字
不打紧
茫茫人海
我会一眼认出你

不知道你的号码
也不打紧
我会与你心脉相通
风雨无阻

可佛说
修炼五百年
才换来与他擦身而过
修炼一千年
才能与他牵牵手指头
你这次与他萍水相逢
已用尽你百年的等待
千年的情缘

这什么年份了
还有这种
让人断肠的规矩
还有这种
无法再见的悲苦

真后悔
当初你向我投来
喜爱的目光
洋溢的热情
我却羞赧地闪避
怯怯地喃喃私语

我被世俗所束缚
我被偏见所左右
不敢勇于面对
你的目光
你的热情
不敢欣然接受
你的火辣辣
你的甜蜜蜜

佛啊！
能不能倒流时间
再次给我
与他擦身而过的巧合？
再次给我
与他相濡以沫的情缘？


后记：今早天亮，渐渐醒了，渐渐有些诗句温暖我心怀。写好诗，才忆起，半年前火车上的邂逅。又追溯，四十年前汽车上的偶遇。生死情缘，冥冥中都有定数。翻开这么多年的每一天，每一页，相爱不成，相见不能，悲欢离合，耿耿于怀，无法排遣。真让人唏嘘不已，追悔莫及。
诗里行间，用一个女子的口吻叙说。且人称代词一再变换。说到底，诗歌所要展现的，已不是纯文本意义上的你我他她了。
昨天，与曾纪番老师几人在红海湾畔品茗饮胜。聊佛缘、尘事、情爱。拜托曾老师、徐学良老师、罗水苑老师用毛笔书写我的对联体诗。我说，新疆人和苏州人的爱情观不同。新疆人泼辣直截了当强烈地追求爱情。苏州人羞达达忸忸怩柔情万千。新疆地广人稀，方圆几千平方公里也就那么几顶帐蓬。当两个牧场流动交汇时，两家男女孩邂逅，心心相悦，要么立即相爱，要么要等候多年有缘再相逢。这多么让人始料不及，匪夷所思呀！
