Sep 2014
Trembling feet in the depths of this cold sand,
Moist and tender just like this lover’s dream.
Distant waves crashes in and kisses my shore.
An abandoned boat of life near the fore,
My solitude moment waits for another journey.

Ripples of your image comes and goes,
An unknown memory that was lost long ago.
Comes and goes just like these distant waves.
It’s never ending melody leaving me breathless.

The enchanting moon has risen over the horizon,
Your face carved dreamily on its sphere.
Splashes its magical aura onto my page of work;
Pure and clear as a beached shell.

I listen to the low and high tide,
Hoping to hear you breathe into my soul,
Then its softness drowns,
In the warning cry of a baby seagull,
Lurching on the bars of waves;
Lost and stretched across the sound.

Each breaker’s damp reaches my fingertips,
Pillowed by the rocks,
My mouth tries to whisper your name.
Alas, the evil wind drives my words elsewhere.

Selfish waves just keep its lust alive,
Kissing the shore, indulged in its own fantasy,
Drowns the name of my love with its hunger,
What a futile effort of mine I wonder.
Every grain of sand is wild tonight,
You stand before me;
Yet my touch reminisces in its plight.
Surely I shall not give up this endless fight.

I am getting old with these broken seashells and stains.
Heart of mine is like a mask in twilight,
Shadow of my love is embezzled by the waves.
Oh dear Moon, you gaze upon with such passion,
Take this chance and cross the vast ocean.

Helpless shore in the midst of dimness,
Run to me from your horizon.
Blend with me with your splendor,
If only you could make these waves dissolve in mid-air.
Then a reunion it shall be called once more.
