其实

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

自由鱼 He Set Her Free


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

Simplicity


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

Today Is Like Yesterday

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

Love Blooms

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

Date Night

Let’s go to Luna Park at night
When exhausted children heading home with big smiles
You and I go for rides in empty carts

We warm up with Ferris Wheel slowly climbs into the sky
watching twinkling lights

Bring back teenager romance on the Tango Train
Our breaths and bodies pulled in one by physics

Loosen ourselves on the Boomerang Rollercoaster
Momentarily break off restraint like horizontal yoyos

Before Mr Whippy’s iconic ice cream treat
Catch the thrill of the Hair Raiser
We get temporary hairdos
Mistaken our stomachs for hearts

I had a wonderful night darling
You made me smile and shine
We kissed under the lights
falling once again in each other’s eyes

Green

Baby leaves in new spring
Eye full of hope
The lawn outside our picket fence
Freshly cut grass
The forest we trekked through
Your eyes
The peaceable 💚 for sins forgiven
The graveyard our love rested upon

September Rain


Love didn’t die
It disappeared into our memory
Hot tears vouch for her existence
When our song comes on
September rain drenches pale leaves
Diving headfirst
Irrevocable

Good Morning


The city is dressed in rain this morning
Cars snail along in rush hour
Muted colour umbrellas move in steady waves glistening in the wet light

His eyes sparkle watching her snow-white beret twinkles in the grey crowd
brighter than any moving composition
He ploughs through the mass
greets her with a kiss of the morning dew

Ripple

My life flows like peaceful water
You come like ripples on a quiet lake
Leaving a mark of joy
Silence is a song that feels like poetry
The unimaginable beauty
All because of you
