Run! Run!
( Image from gottfriendberlin.com )
Running…running…
look at the dancing flames though my eyes and
Stop!
Instead, lay bare and open before my eyes
waiting for my gaze
I fix my eyes to your vulnerability in
absolute stillness
I caress every bit of you with my glance
your body temperature is elevating under my viewing
and your being is raising to salute
Run! Run!
Run before I devour you with passion…
A Psalm
Today I sing a love song to you my most intimate friend
You stretched out your hands to me in my distress
You embraced me with warmth and comfort
When I was stuck in my misery, drenched in my sorrow
you came from heaven and met me where I was
You are the most high and yet you came on earth to my rescue
I love you my friend! You are worthy

There is a fine line between:
A champion and who is motivated by the joy of the journey
A clown and who tastes only pain
A craftsman and who understands his limitation to perfection
A daydreamer and who follows the dream
A giver and who also counts receiving as a blessing
A leader and who leads by serving
A performer and who sees through the performance
A providers and who leans on God’s provision
A thinker and who advances the idea
Time

What is forever?
What is now?
Travelled a life time to this moment
In eternity,
there is no time.
Wanderlust

A fragile dandelion
carried by the wind
with broken wings
wandering off to the end of the horizon
the pain in her only heals by wanderlust
In my waking moments
I long for another glimpse of her
By night
My soul sings to the edge of the sea
Oh my little fragile dandelion!
蒲公英
吹了
散了
漫遍天涯
无处不安家
每次遇见
蒲公英
都会想起他(她)
无处不在
浪迹天涯
Naughty little secret
( Image from medium.com )
I am your naughty little secret
only comes alive at night
you watch me dancing in the dark
delete after each show
I only hide in the cloud
every now and then
I surprise you with a peek-a-boo
holding our secret close
我是你的秘密
悄悄埋在夜里
偷窥后要删除
调皮躲在云里
不时露出惊讶
慌心诚守秘密
Hope in pain
I am rendering 4 walls
in my heart
because my baby is dying
the anticipating pain
I cannot bear
night is my enemy
it tricks me to hear my baby is crying
I bow my face to the ground
oh Lord!
Your promise of life
will not return void
This is my only hope
in the tomb I am preparing in my heart
for my baby’s burial
from this life to eternity
Mercy!
My heart shattered by his pain
I long for his smile in the shower of your light
on earth as it is in heaven
So young he is, I beg
restore his childlike innocence
wisdom only comes with time
A dying child, a dying mother’s wish and
only hope!
The bitter root
I love this city in dark silence
The vibrant and intellectual day fades into alluring artistic night scene
The hills lay off a man’s duty by day
The boy in me leaped out walking the streets
The songs came again from the car radio afar
My lips were chanting the familiar melodies my father once loved
I tilted my head up towards the moonlight
Holding the rolling tears in the well of my eyes
Big boys don’t cry!
Perhaps it’s the invitation of the blood moon night,
the open arms of the January assertive silence
I let out the forbidden wailing
Anguish to the lies, to the betrayal, to the abandonment
The boy in me were fueled by rawness of hurt
My howling to the moonlight returned needles on my skull
I grew in rage
Forcefully a man rose to stand tall
Declared vows and judgements
only God will break
We got a thing
The first time I saw you
I loved you… I was sweet to you
Everytime I see you
My mouth curves up to a moon, my eyes to a straight line
You can be naughty… you can be vicious… you can be cold shoulders to me
We got a thing between us my beloved
We love and affectionate to only one
Loyal, intimate and eternal
We look at each other, rub our noses
Smitten… gooey… heavenly
