Perfect Love

A picture says a thousand words

This kind of love

I adore

Apology

( image from psychologytoday.com )

I wish

I could be satisfied with only you

I wish

I could say once in a life time

I wish

I could allow you to touch my heart

I wish

I could tell you ‘you are my world’

I wish

I could sleep sweet by your side

I wish

I could bundle all my disappointment

I wish

I could let it burn in our passion

I wish

I could be all in one

for you

February 14

Violet comes in many shades
Accustomed to how black I feel today
Letting perfect to be its own play
Enter the stage is trespassing
Nothing in life is perfect
Time is certainly becoming my witness
In the remote distance you are my perfection
No smell, no touch, no taste
Euphoria is where wild imagination stays

Aura

( Image from buildingbeautifulsouls.com )

It has been a while

her locks are golden brown

before that

were honey amber and chestnut.

Today

I saw her in the mirror

contemplating her glory.

Will I defeat the fear of goth

crown her dark silky velvet?

It has been a while

She is green, indigo and violet,

before that

was yellow and red.

A Kiss

( Last Kiss – painting by Leonid )

Running my finger tip from

your nose, philtrum

Landed on your lips

like a cross

zapped your urge to be funny

Sealing your lips with unspoken words

more gratifying than honey…

Run! Run!

Running…running…

look at the dancing flames though my eyes and

Stop!

Instead, lay bare and open before my eyes

waiting for my gaze

I fix my eyes to your vulnerability in

absolute stillness

I caress every bit of you with my glance

your body temperature is elevating under my viewing

and your being is raising to salute

Run! Run!

Run before I devour you with passion…

Wanderlust

( Image from wpmisc.com )

A fragile dandelion

carried by the wind

with broken wings

wandering off to the end of the horizon

the pain in her only heals by wanderlust

In my waking moments

I long for another glimpse of her

By night

My soul sings to the edge of the sea

Oh my little fragile dandelion!

蒲公英
吹了
散了
漫遍天涯
无处不安家
每次遇见
蒲公英
都会想起他(她)
无处不在
浪迹天涯

Naughty little secret

( Image from medium.com )

I am your naughty little secret

only comes alive at night

you watch me dancing in the dark

delete after each show

I only hide in the cloud

every now and then

I surprise you with a peek-a-boo

holding our secret close

我是你的秘密
悄悄埋在夜里
偷窥后要删除
调皮躲在云里
不时露出惊讶
慌心诚守秘密

Hope in pain

I am rendering 4 walls

in my heart

because my baby is dying

the anticipating pain

I cannot bear

night is my enemy

it tricks me to hear my baby is crying

I bow my face to the ground

oh Lord!

Your promise of life

will not return void

This is my only hope

in the tomb I am preparing in my heart

for my baby’s burial

from this life to eternity

Mercy!

My heart shattered by his pain

I long for his smile in the shower of your light

on earth as it is in heaven

So young he is, I beg

restore his childlike innocence

wisdom only comes with time

A dying child, a dying mother’s wish and

only hope!

The bitter root

I love this city in dark silence

The vibrant and intellectual day fades into alluring artistic night scene

The hills lay off a man’s duty by day

The boy in me leaped out walking the streets

The songs came again from the car radio afar

My lips were chanting the familiar melodies my father once loved

I tilted my head up towards the moonlight

Holding the rolling tears in the well of my eyes

Big boys don’t cry!

Perhaps it’s the invitation of the blood moon night,

the open arms of the January assertive silence

I let out the forbidden wailing

Anguish to the lies, to the betrayal, to the abandonment

The boy in me were fueled by rawness of hurt

My howling to the moonlight returned needles on my skull

I grew in rage

Forcefully a man rose to stand tall

Declared vows and judgements

only God will break
