Love Flowers on White Snow


buds of life
like red roses blooming upon sunshine
time shortly flies like sky clouds changing their shapes
inmist feelings of water bubbles
drops of sadness hang on the moon
tear-drops swim above the rivers
cold snow blossoms the bud of heart

i miss you
from joyful days, each wing of leaves played in the wind
you came from the night's jungle of thousand miles
where the singing voice of the wrens wishes to rouse for the love
you've gone upon the nautical miles
ship of journey will be the lone sailor
remain for me, withered smiles and memories on my lips
echo vibratorily like sculptured souvenir

from the bottom of sandy well in the desert
i enumerate drops of fallen rain and paint thousand water bubbles
cold cloud, nightfall, are you cold much tonight ?
flowers of fallen snow, i see having stroke of sadness
from the veil of white long-dress, already whitened the youthful age

i look at you in dreams
only gently look without stepping forward
months and days drift, you've already floated away from a very far distance
sad candles because of mournful shadows
you came and went from my beckoned hand
waves of melancholic ocean, this evening, the drifting winds already set sail...
