I watch these two
before Sunrise
Knowing my father
values my son’s company
more than the glorious sun
He is an old man
seen many sunrises
My son
for the first time
experiences the magnificence
of a new day
with his favourite person
I love watching sunrise
But my eyes
cannot move pass
the love between them
They are worth
missing the sunrise for
素颜的女生最可爱
微卷着半脸的刘海
韵香随着微风扑来
她不觉察我在发呆
花树下心动的男孩
English translation by meaning:
The plain face girl is the cutest
Her wavy bang covers half of her face
The breeze sends her sweet scent straight to me
She doesn’t notice that I am in a trance
A boy who is falling in love standing underneath a blossom tree
My footprints left on your floorboard
Strands of hair clung to the drain
Perfume stained the collar of your shirt
Whisper of ‘I love you’ echoed in your thoughts
Pieces of me stayed in love
with you
I love you because
I carry you wherever
I go.
You are neurons.
You dictate how
I feel.
We are inseparable
in sleep or waking moments.
Will death ever do us apart?
The Chinese mid-autumn festival traditionaly is a reunion time for family and love ones. I thought to write a love poem to celebrate. I hope google translator does this poem justice 🙃.
你的微笑是我院里的桃花
你的寂寞是我窗外的梧桐
你的挂念是留声机的情歌
你流的泪成了我天空的雨
此时是中秋佳节明月当空
让我的皓月照亮你的阴云
其实
我很简单
你想象中的复杂
只是
一个过去失落的我
其实
空气很自然
只是
有时呀
我们忘记了呼吸
其实
你也很简单
只是
我们幼稚的爱
寻求多余的复杂
他说
天上的星星不亮了
因为你带走了光环
他还说
水里的鱼儿自由了
因为你剪断了情丝
可是
我不是很相信他
因为
他每天都漏网捕鱼
他每晚都抬头望星
He says
The stars in the sky are not shining
Because you took away the halo
He also says
The fish in the water are free
Because you cut the love thread
But
I don’t quite believe him
Because
He fishes with a broken net by day
He looks up at the stary sky by night
I don’t get tired of
watching people
listening to the rain
and
thinking of you
Today is a good day
I get to write about
thinking of you
while
listening to the rain
and
watching people
Simple things are beautiful
I don’t mind experiencing them
on repeat
every day
I remember your breath on my skin
I responded in goosebumps
Your touch kept me secured
in the shape of a heart
You called me a cute name
I paused, melted and became undone
There are so many moments I remember
They match every moment of our today
I fall deeper and deeper in love with you
You brought me sunrise
When darkness covered my mind
Morning dew diluted last night’s tears
My lashes tasted sweet upon your lips
You tendered me with a crown of frangipanis
Within the distance of our breaths
A butterfly fluttered frantically
twining around the invisible bloom between us
