Typhoon Is Not Coming

It missed the appointment
Emotions accumulated in the air
Depressed the bougainvillea speetabilis on the balcony
And the parrot’s rap

The clouds are very light and thin
Like the white woman passing by downstairs
I wonder who she is about to meet
The lucky one
May also wait for the wind

I get used to wait 
And overlook for something
I believe the sun-like promise 
Will be realized in a sudden moment of raising my head

I get used to be patient and tolerant
This season has one typhoon after another
The route is too ambiguous 
and too mysterious

This poem is fantastic. Your imagery wonderful. These lines should not be edited in any way, Stina. I especially liked this "The clouds are very light and thin Like the white woman passing by downstairs" Bravo!

Thank you Caren. I am not very confident about the wording. Please give me some suggestions if you like.
