Hidden Love
I keep you in the space between two hearts.
Masquerading as a lette.r, I address so far
Not sent.
My tongue is a locked gate, my eyes, two thieves.
That steal a peep, then quickly decipher.
They call my name, and I acknowledge,
Even cool- a lake that never ripples in the wind.
But underneath, a current breaks its rule.
Each time you're unwary, laughter pulls me in.
So let the world see void but the shore- I'll
Submerge in you and ask for not but the shoreline-
I'll drown in you and ask for nothing more.
Hidden Love
In the depths of my heart, a star hides,
The woman who crosses me, a whisper of thoughts in secrecy,
Though in silence, my soul belongs to her,
She feels my love, like a ray of sunshine at dawn.
In the night, my dreams weave silken desires,
Traveling in her world, on the wings of the wind,
I watch her from afar, a lullaby of love, softly,
Knowing that her heart discerns the song of my soul.
On paths of the full moon, in the silvery light of love,
We meet in a dream, in a mysterious and secret waltz,
Where time stops, letting us drink in each other's gazes,
Silence telling its story, and my heart blooming.
Though we both hide, a play of shadows and lights,
The woman I secretly love feels the tremor of my longing,
And in her soul, like an echo, resounds the vast love,
That binds us in eternity, the silence weaving its crown.
Hope watches over my days, for I know in secrecy,
She carries in her heart a fragment of my love,
And in this dream world, I head towards the horizon,
With a lifted soul, where love awaits to enthrall us.
Once the Earth was waiting too much
Flowering the best code
It look like a wedding planned
Just for it to land
The earth was blooming to much
The birds were cooing
To pleasant it with lei of love
Even the quiet was speaking too much
Waiting for it like a plant wait for the sunlight to bloom it up
It’s finally arrive, but it was eerie too much
The earth soaked calamity instead of luscious
The birds weren’t mellifluous enough
even the quite was deaf enough
The earth was sailing its own recked boat in its own land which was bloody enough
It was raining too much that the drops were salty enough
It seems like the Earth was waiting too much
Once the Earth was waiting too much
Flowering the best code
It look like a wedding planned
Just for it to land
The earth was blooming to much
The birds were cooing
To pleasant it with lei of love
Even the quiet was speaking too much
Waiting for it like a plant wait for the sunlight to bloom it up
It’s finally arrive, but it was eerie too much
The earth soaked calamity instead of luscious
The birds weren’t mellifluous enough
even the quite was deaf enough
The earth was sailing its own recked boat in its own land which was bloody enough
It was raining too much that the drops were salty enough
It seems like the Earth was waiting too much
The trap of hidden love,
Smile face in front of the future light of her life,
Feeling like flying to the moon
Whenever she meets him at noon
Heart beating so fast , oh ! Love mood
Good hearted, love circulating in her blood
Looking in his eyes,
Fake faint to test love
Fainting to see his reaction to prove
A good move,
If he is her future sunshine.
The sign of hidden love,
He rushes quick lifting her,
Calling ambulance
While she is smiling to find her soulmate
Before the ambulance reaching,
She is comfortable
With the attention given by a person
Who meant to be with,
She said silently, " He is the rose inside my heart."
Feeling over the moon,
Flying obove the ocean at after noon,
While spreading her wings like a white dove.
Good mood all over, after finding the soap of love.
Using the trap of hidden love well and
Ended up cupturing a husband to be.

Her thoughts were occupied with such happiness
but she dare not show it and her composure remained seemly
her lips felt as if someone had painted nectar upon them
and she hid her smile as she recalled their stolen kiss
she was sure her secret radiated from every pore
and she prayed her father did not recognise her flush
for had he not so recently conveyed to her he too was once young
he too had loved intensely and she again feared discovery
her mother had not spoken yet so unlike mother she thought
but she had not heard her words as she offered a perplexed look
her parents enquired as to her disposition as was their concern
they could not know the joy that filled her heart of hidden love.
Yes, I will say you nothing at all,
And I will not disturb you like wind,
And so what, I am mute, but I call,
I won't let to myself even hint.
And night flowers are sleeping all day
till the sun will hide into the wood,
Leaves are opening quietly, I say,
I can hear, heart is blooming, it's good.
Now my tired and suffering chest
breathes with damp night, I shake with my soul,
And I will not disturb you like guest,
And I will say you nothing at all.
P.S. This is my translation of poem by Afanasy Fet, 1885.
When you closed your hand about my hand,
A shivering bud that hid within my heart
Began to open,
‘MEN do not have FLOWERS in their hearts!’
I cried, in my mind,
‘CERTAINLY
MEN have LIONS!’
But the bud so softly nudged against my breast,
That I could not but pluck its opening grace
And offer it
To You,
Pure As A Smile…

You knocked, and I opened the door of my life
The welcome mat to my heart took in your first steps
You crossed the threshold and my strong foundation weakened with the weight of your words, your touch, your kiss
When you held me, all my broken pieces melted together
As we entertained the thought of being together
An emotional bond built on trust fueled a desire we couldn’t deny
While storms raged outside, threatening to wreck our world
I lay in bed wondering if you will come back to me
Two lovers denied the night, stealing moments in their days
A fire still burns inside of me, the glow of passion smolders deep within
You occupy the rooms of my soul yet I feel so abandoned
A house whose walls hold secrets not meant for others to hear
We left the doors and windows wide open
The breeze whispers through, echoing your name
The clock on the wall still chimes as time marches on
If I could stop it, I would, just for one more moment with you
It’s a place I visit often, but it’s not the same without you there
Hidden Love
deep inside the heart
one one cannot depart
to love one is willing
driven by the feeling
the heart has a lovely sound
the hidden love is found
safe the heart will keep
the feeling found so deep.

Her indifference was merely a facade
Tears fell inside with each shovel of sod
They buried him on a sunny Spring day
She stared at the hole in an offhand way
There was no stopping the rush of the past
That flowed through her head from first to the last
She'd been a child as he first lived next door
Her love was hidden - she learned to adore
He was some older but she loved him still
Knowing that with time all the gap would fill
She hadn't counted on a foreign war
Her true love was drafted and sent afar
They sent him away with a hero's tag
And welcomed him home in a body bag
She stood in silence and prayed to her God
Her indifference was merely a facade

That Hidden Love Waiting In Those Skies
She fell into my view(her charms in tow)-
I was in shock, fire within those eyes.
And sunk! How could I get her to show
That hidden love waiting in those skies.
My solitude now just a lost, dry creek
Such grace dancing in her every step.
And then! My lonely heart heard her speak
Suddenly moved, my lost soul openly wept.
Life found, this live vision to now feel-
we that found each other on that ship.
Knew for sure! Our romance was the real deal
and gaily laughed the entire ocean trip.
Land-bound, finding every lover's secluded spot
the glow intense in her soft loving eyes.
And summer heated up as our romance got hot
In love! We swore to never say sad good-byes!
She fell into my view(her charms in tow)-
I was in shock, fire within those eyes.
And sunk! How could I get her to show
That hidden love waiting in those skies.

Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de,
Khwahise mohabbat to tere dil me b h,
Dar h k tu ise kahi badal na de.
Majboor h mera dil apni aadto se,
Tujhe dekh har baar fishalta h,
Tu dur rah meri nazro se,
zra iss dil ko to sambhalne de.
Ishqe izaazat dil ko hamne naa di,
ye to teri adaaon ka maara h,
Tere pyar me mere bahke kadam,
Aur mera dil bechara h,
Sambhal leta iss dil ko,
phr socha thora tere pyar me ise jalne de.
Nazro ne dekha aur ho gai mujhse pyar ki khata,
Zra in nazro ko inke khata ki sza to Milne de.
Dil ka kya kasoor tha jb tumse nazre mili,
Dil toota kai baar, jb szaae mohabbat mili,
Rok leta dil ko apne,
phr socha zraa mohabbat me iss dil ko pighalne de.
Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de.
Every town I rode through ,
People were talking about your loveliness .
The best painter thought day and night ,
but fear to complain the king's difficult question.
I have inquired the way thousands of miles carefully ,
and wrote letters home frequently .
I'm calculating when we would wake up to see the rainbow,
and when to listen to the spring rain in a painted boat .
I have heard the lake is holy and no one can profane .
Immortals guarding folks are living on the top of the jokul.
Flowers will rain on the lake when they bathe.
and then fade when they go back without dust.
The wall hundreds of feet seems so close to me ,
and I want to gallop in the spring field.
This is my first poem translated from my Chinese rhyme .I don't know if there are many mistakes in it .Can U help me ? Thankyou .
HIDDEN LOVE
CURSES OF EMOTIONS HIDDEN BENEATH ITS SENSATION
CRACKING ABOVE ITS MOTION, RYTHEMICAL TEMPTATION
MY HEART IS TURNING, GRINDING BY THE CRUEL GRAODING
SOAKING UNDERNEATH MY EXPECTATIONS
SONGS OF LOUDLESS TALES, SAIL ME THROUGH THIS WAVES
COVER ME IN THIS FAIRTALES AND TELL ME THE SECRET OF THIS HILLS
FOR MY PASSION HAVE PRUDENT IT’S WILLS
POSSESSING MY AFFECTION IN WICKED DEEDS
TO THE DOVE OF MY HEART, DO DWELL INSIDE MY THRONE
TO THE DEER OF MY SPINE, DO DIVE INSIDE MY STORM
AS THE SILENT BREEZE HAVE BROKEN ITS PAWS
SO AS THE DARKEST FREEZE HAVE FROZEN ITS CLAWS
SUNS OF OLD RIVERS, LISTEN TO MY LONGING
FOR I’M LINGERING SOMETHING IN MY SONG WILL
YET YOU HAVE HIDDEN IT, FOR ME TO FORGET IT
...SO IM DRAWNING IN MY REMEMBERANCE
HIDDEN LOVE WAS NEVER BROKEN
HIDDEN LOVE WAS NEVER HIDDEN
FOR THE SENSES OF PERSEVEANCE INDULGES
Its PROMISES.... it’s the heart’s decision
NOTS THE MIND’S CONGREGATION or consultation
Do remember my motivation....the sounds of love.end
