Two Birds and the White Roses

Two birds
Fly in front of my window every day
Next to my window 
In the White rose bushes
Singing and dancing

 
When the Sun arises
I am lazily lying in the bed
Hear them singing
Then I see the hope and laughter in life

When the twilight comes 
I compassion for the beauty of the sunset 
Pity for it is near dusk
See their dances
Then I feel that life is glorious
From sunrise to twilight 
From birth to death 
Like a travel 
From the beginning to the end 
With singing and dancing 
On the way 

When it is raining 
I can not see their shadows
Only hear their songs 
They are standing side by side under the roofs
Sniffing the fragrance of the White roses far faraway from the window 
I see the warmth of love
and the power of the beauty 

 
When the daylight fades 
In the golden halo of flash 
surrounded by the peachy sunset glow 
I see them flying away together
With their marvelous wings
into the sky 

They sing and dance in front of my White rose bushes day and day 
Those White pieces of petals are weaving a dream of clothe 
For their beauty and grace 

Until one day
Only one of them comes to my window
He fly around  the White Rose bushes in circle and circle 
Glances from right to the left
Eventually 
He dangles a piece of White petal in his mouth 
Wanders and hesitates 
In the falling sunset 
flying away

Not far, 
His beloved one is lying quietly on the grass,
That White piece of Petal in his mouth with a pure teardrop 
Are landed softly
On his lover's body

From then on
I never see their shadows again
My White rose bushes
Alone 
Waiting in front of my window
So lonely and dreary

Rational and Emotional

I am intoxicated in the emotional nets
However I  am Lost in rational sky 
I despise my own superficial
And holding  self-esteem and vanity in my palms and shouting:
"It's a shining diamond,
Who could understand its precious? "
In fact, I only kept telling the story of drops in the ocean
Twirling between the gains and Losses


I dream that there is one new sky breaking  through the emotional nets 
After all it just fall into the darkness of reasons
That sublime rational, the reason which I yearn to die
It is like a  holy lotus growing in the iceberg 
My lazy and aloof soul
Can only pay homage to it 
But would never get its favor


The more I struggle in the emotional nets
The more rational travels farther away from me
It is like a parent to abandon me
Leaving me to  the hopeless and helpless

My emotions 
Often as the  tide surging
Starting to flood the rational boat
Another of me
In the emotion of the sea
Are struggling  and crying......
I
Sadly 
Can not afford to save another of is an


I only can see my emotions raging
Can hear my rational shouting 
Letting my emotions struggling inside the  nets
Letting  the rational  boat to be flooded 


My reasons and emotions
Then fight in this Cold War 
Never can tell who wins and who loses
Leaving only pieces of the wreckage after war
then
I
like a poor orphan 
is coldly abandoned between rational and emotional

If I Could See You Again

If I could see you again 
I prefer to see you in the twilight 
In a quiet park 
surrounded by White roses 
Standing not too close to you 
I can only see your face 
but cannot see your eyes 
inside with the disappointment  and sorrow 
I can only smell the fragrance of the roses 
But can not smell the bitterness of your tears 
and the loneliness of your soul 
I can only see the golden halo of flash behind of you 
But cannot see your face with the hope of not letting me go 

Therefore, I don't need to worry about if you can let me go  
Therefore, I don't need to see your sad tears when I go 
Therefore, you will stay in my memory 
Like a golden shadow in the twilight 
Forever  beautiful and peaceful

A Young Boy With a Brave Heart

This poem is dedicated to a person I know who had been abused and abandoned by his parents when he was a young boy, but with his hard working and great  mind, now he becomes a very successful business person...

A young boy 
Was sitting alone on the road
In the cold 
Shivering 
Big innocent eyes
Were full of forlorn 

People were walking on the road
With a glance at him  
Children were held in their parents' arms
Those happy smiles 
Were so strange to him 

Tears was in his eyes
Coldness was on his face
The color of the world 
Under the Sun 
In his eyes
Was pale  

He was struggling to find
A way to survive 
Nobody in the world with care 
Only the night wind kissing his face 
And Moonlight whispering to his ears

His body became cold
So did his heart 
No one can touch 
The world was like a cursed land 
A huge net 
Covering his heart 
With darkness
Without warmth 


He began to cry inside 
Nobody cared in the world dry 
He dreamed to be strong like the earth 
To be free like the sky 
Surviving became the courage
With a sensitive brave heart 

Whatever he accepted was for him
Whatever he rejected shall never touch him
There was a divine purpose 
For him 
To grow

And today he smiles
Embraces the World with his sensitive love

Burning In the Snow

-To a Pianist who does not believe emotion and soul 

You are sitting in front of your White piano, 
Shutter fingers are on the keys.
Your voice penetrated through the air, 
Gone with charm and beauty.

You say that you play only with patterns, 
I see that feelings in your heart burn,
Kissing the charming tunes of the music, 
Such as flame, 
In White snow, 
Melting the cold, 
Feeling the pure.

You say that you do not believe spirit,
I see that a free spirit flying like an angle, 
Dancing with the sexy sound of your singing, 
Such as snow lotus,
On the snow-capped mountain,
In the clod, 
Blossom.

The change of the seasons,
With the greatness of your thoughts, 
Changing the world,
Embracing the abundance of your destiny,
Opening to the universe. 

Somewhere deep within you, 
On the perfect centre of your soul,
Desiring to reach a place, 
With peace, love and beauty.
Touching your heart, 
It is the secret tenderness, 
Inside of you. 

You need to ask, 
And it should be given,
Like the amazing sound of musics, 
Naturally grow, 
With unconditional love.

When I Sit Quietly

-The feeling of listen to the piano music "Voice of Compassion"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UlZyuFiGks&feature=related


When I sit quietly
I could see my heart
My heart is gentle and delicate
Accompanied by the soft music
Dancing between the piano keys

I am caressing my heart
Touching my face
My face suffused with a charming light flush
My smile bloosms in the charm  
such as  roses blooming on the piano 
Such as cloves floating in the streams 

My poetry in my fingers pondering
The wonderful music
With my poetry flying
As  gently flowing clouds
In the morning after the rain
Kissing  the dreamlike rainbow 

I hear the legend Pianist playing on the ocean 
I see the beautiful face of a girl appearing in the sea 
I feel the charming deaf  piano lady kissing the waves
With her playing deeply from her heart 
Are full of passion and love 
like beautiful roses bloosm on the piano 
Those petals that  between piano keys 
lightly drop upon my heart 

I am navigating my boat 
My fingers are weaving a dream cloth for  my poetry
My boat is floating  on the faraway centre ocean 
Loaded with all romance 
Drifting away 

I am sitting quietly, facing toward the sea
My lips are dancing among the petals 
My heart 
Never pure as this moment 
Turning to  a wave of mist
Into the sky
Gone with the wind

I Do Not Know Who You Are

I do not know where you are come from
I only feel you are like a star is sparkling on the sky 
Appearing in my life 
Touching the tenderness of my soul 

I do not know where you will go 
I only see your passion with love burning in the snow 
Soon moving away from me 
Leaving all the beauty inside my lonely soul 

I am puzzled and ask 
Who are you  
Come and go 
Without a clear trace 
Only made me sorrow 
Like the Halley’s Comet, 
Flying across the sky
Until waiting for almost 100 years 
May come to my earth again
Meeting with my next human soul

The Smoking Girl

That young girl 
Is Fair skin
And tall waist
Is howling shaking
On the terrace after the rain
Smoking fiercely
 
Her glamorous body is trembling and
Beautiful eyes are filled with hatred and confusion
Being narcosis
In the hazy smoke
Getting lost
In the lonely sorrow 

She
Is coldly watching passers
Disdains revealing suffers 

A rebellious drama
On the way to nowhere
Vigorously being staged 
The main character of the drama 
Is sucking the poison to murder her own
In the coldness of the rain
Trying to jump out from the misery 
But deeply immersing in the abyss of ignorance

In the Middle of the Night, My Hearts Feels the Most Wonderful

In the middle of the night
My heart feels the most wonderful
Without the hustle and bustle of the day
Without the secular noisy
Thus, I can drink wine and recite poetry with LI Bai about Romance (Note: Li Bai is one of the most famous ancient Chinese Romantic poets)  
I can speak my mind freely with Zhuangzi about life (Note: Zhuangzi, is an influential ancient Chinese philosopher)

In the middle of the night
My heart feels the most wonderful
I can touch my heart gently to say “Darling, here you are”
I can feel the tenderness of Beethoven’s “For Alice”
I can share the passion of Mozart's “Symphony of Destiny”

My heart feels so wonderful
When the lights are turned off
Only the moon light
Throwing into the window frames
Touching my tiring body softly
Kissing my dry lips gently 

Only in the middle of the night 
My heart feels so wonderful
I imagine my dreamed lover affectionately smiling to me 
Sweet like a surge of springs
Subtle like a beautiful rainbow

Only in the middle of the night
My heart feels so wonderful
I dance with beautiful ladies in the Moon, 
I kiss the stars with the blue sky 
The Moon casts her tenderness to me
The stars whisper to me secretly 
I am like a newborn baby 
With the love of the universe 
Sleeping slowly and deeply

Only in the middle of the night 
My heart feels the most wonderful

Thief and Police

Thief and police 

My thought is like a thief
My mind is like a police 
Thief is always running
Police is always chasing 
A voice shouts out 
“Stop!”

My mind stops chasing 
It starts only watching the thoughts running 
Suddenly all 
Become still 
Pureness arrives 

My tears 
Say “thank you.”
My heart holds the tears up
All becomes fresh frog
Soon disappear in the air
