Afar

I see you better
when I close my eyes
I hear you clearly
in echoes
when I shout out your name
You are near
when we are strangers

卵石和竹林

如果你是河底的卵石
我愿是你周围的竹林
守望着你洁白的平静
时光见证我们的永恒

Roses And A Bee

The roses are fragrant clouds
resting upon my keen attention
the bee flutters
drowning in nectar
losing its mind

Such frantic love
moves me to regret
Overwhelming beauty
deserves deep dives
liberating from
any hope of tomorrow
or freedom of life

River

Living Poetry prompt – River

I wanted to be a lake
But you made me a river
Passion gushed from my sanctuary
Earnestly flowed toward you

You were an island
But I wanted you to be a raft
I was so far gone with my mind
incapable of being tied down

My tears broke the flood gate
Forever gone with the stream

See And Seeing Not

She doesn’t want to be seen
covering herself
with piercings
and dark eyeliner

He sees her quiet wit
That’s how
a blind man
falls in love

Before Sunrise

Long Reef lookout, Sydney, Australia


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

心动

I added the audio of this piece because it rhythms.


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

Pieces of Me


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

You and Me

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?

月相连

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
