远远的
你站着
长长身影
默默地
我望着
喃喃自语
心灵的对话
越不过的闸
跨不过的域
无奈
远远的
你站着
长长身影
默默地
我望着
喃喃自语
心灵的对话
越不过的闸
跨不过的域

Origami Souls
A collaborative effort of me and Benjamin Grossman.
The bountiful lilac purple wisterias curtain our bedroom window
The humidity of summer and the sound of cicadas wake us
My breasts swell in the cup of your hands
The curve of my body lazily responding to your offering
There is only one line you fit between
Fold me into origami with nothing but your tongue
Our bodies contort into a paper crane
Loving for 1000 years till we turn grey
Our souls take flight through the lilac purple haze into the flush blue eternity.
Numbered
Magnolias broke out at below zero, blushed, hung on naked branches.
For one long year, half heartedly, I accepted defeat over the quarter you bet wearing a devilish grin.
With satisfaction, you drew an infinity on my wrist with wet finger, marked the beginning of a decade’s promises.
A dozen yellow roses wilted on the teak table where conversations, laughter and passion are still lingering.
The bare magnolia tree, shamefully, stretches out towards the winter sun.
Secret Garden
This piece of writing is in response to Denise’s six sentence story prompt word – Dream.
I want to ride a cloud to your bedside
and make it into a silky soft pillow
for your overthinking head to rest on.
I want to sing love songs into your dream
of thousands of sunflowers in Tuscany.
In response, you flicker your sickle moon lashes,
mumbling an affectionate language only we know.
Even the nightingale stops singing and listen.
Touch-me-nots open without shame
waiting to hear the interpretation.
The secret garden comes alive.
Desire
The autumn wind combs the sunlight into golden locks
Resting on his heaving chest from a satisfying afternoon nap
Her chestnut eyes crackling in the fire of longing
Such desire, too wild to tame
#songshare – Jealous
I’m jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It’s closer than my hands have been
I’m jealous of the rain
I’m jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It’s closer than your shadow
Oh, I’m jealous of the wind, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
I’m jealous of the nights
That I don’t spend with you
I’m wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I’m jealous of the nights
I’m jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I’m jealous of the love, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day
Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There’s nothing to forgive
But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way
You’re happy without me
Love Stays
I remember
You said
We would argue in poetry
The same way
We would show love in poems
All these years
I keep writing
Because
I haven’t stopped
Loving you
Action Says It All
He is a pragmatic man with few words
He’ll do anything to make her smile
Acting like a clown and telling hilarious jokes
Serving her breakfast in bed or a cup of tea when she is sad
Installing a hammock by the firepit for her home winter retreat
Building a zen pond and filling it with waterlilies and fish to cure her homesickness
Moving country to support her career
There is nothing he won’t do to make her happy
He is a pragmatic man with few words
Support
When you are hurting
I want to be your pillow on the starless and sleepless night
Soft, quiet and ready for hugs
信箱钥匙
信箱里堆满了被遗忘的记忆
垃圾广告埋藏着真爱的信笺
钥匙翻涛在漫无目的的云海
不忍心打开堆积情感的遗憾
The Letter Box Key
The mailbox is full of forgotten memories
Junk ads hide the letter of true love
The key tossing in the aimless sea of clouds
I can’t bear to open up the regrets of accumulated emotions
Flicker of Thoughts
