Unattainable


We are more isolated
yet
we are closer than ever
go figure
At times
we are so lonely
when
we are so close to someone
Other times
we are filled with joy
just
to be connected with someone
through
data transmission
striking and upright
in bloom overalls
your generous smile
portrays sincerity
faithfulness and honour
are your characters
the sword fitting for a king

An interpretation of Jun’s poem
你总傻呆去想她
青春早过又几载
眼脑心才懂得爱
精神食粮却总缺
徬徨半世总无耐
落花时节更相思
You know the one
The one you once loved so tenderly
Her smile filled your daydreams
When you look back to connect the dots
Your heart leapt for her
Your mind set on ambitions
You eyes were distracted
Now time and place passed
She has long gone
You are hunger for love
You are deprived of spiritual food
You have spent half of your life in wander
Autumn leaves falling in the melancholy of missing her



You said your life was filled with farewells
Whenever you met a kindred spirit
they left before your smile settled
I left without saying goodbye
You must have pretended that I went solo sailing
You checked on the anniversary
and thought
the sea must have been a bit too rough that year
When I appeared like the sudden rain
You brought out beers to celebrate
the trophy of safe home coming

Your scarred hand caught my heart
wrapped around the chambers and vessels
housed the over stimulated nerves
When you placed my heart back into the void
I covered your hand on my heart
the song of redemption played to heal us
A scar knows a bare nerve
Two broken mend at once
Three lined poetry is one stanza too many
