Back when my face was curtained with bangs, I would pick flowers, playing by the door. You rode your stick horse toward me rounding the bench, knocking off the fresh plums. Together we lived in Changgan, the two little ones without suspicion. At 14, I became wife to you, shy glances hiding my smile. I dipped my head toward the gloomy walls of your thousands of gentle calls. At 15, my expressions relaxed, and I longed for our dust and ashes to be mingled forever. I trusted like the one holding a pillar in a storm; why do I still climb, anticipating your visit? At 16, my lord traveled far from home, through the Qutang gorge and floods of Yu. For five months we made no contact, monkeys mourning overhead. By the doorway are your hesitant footprints, slowly growing in with moss. The coating is deep, it cannot be swept away—the early Autumn Winds bring leaf-fall. August’s butterflies turn yellow flying two-by-two to Western orchards. My heart is wounded at this, I sit anxiously and my youth fades. Sooner or later you’ll cross down through Sanba, sending a letter in advance your return. To reunite with you, no matter the distance—I will go all the way to Changfensha.

"The River Merchant's Wife" (original by Li Bai, translated by me)
In those golden times When you’re up and so fine I remember you. In your silence and solitude Where you can’t be found I remember you In your laughters and smiles Celebrating each victorious moment I remember you In your heartbreaks, pain Frustrations and burden I remember you As you feel so broken Picking up pieces of yourself I remember you When you’re on a pedestal Chin up, Head high I remember you When you feel nervous and sweat out a lot I remember you When you rub your nose just because you’re shy I remember you Fake dimple, sweet smile Enamoring brown eyes I remember you Fluffy tummy, **** arms Simple stuffs i dearly love I remember you The gentlest giant I’ve ever known with words like sugar cone I remember you So dear, so true The only one I am glad to remember you As you reach out along with those butterflies I remember you Hope this will not come as a surprise It is felt rather than said that i remember you And there was never been a “never” ‘coz you’ll forever be always (always be forever) and I remember you!

I Remember You
None of this bliss is better Come what may, soon it will be over With radiance you are welcomed A glistening beauty you will welcome Enchanted by the immensity of your dimension Allured with this mere fascination Been charmed when you look back Yet end up just a slack Up above I yonder Beyond your lanterns that hover You have always been out of reach Can someone explain the twitch? You came along with goodbye Now I’m left with a sigh It doesn’t matter how far Just be who you are, my Star

Just Be Who You Are, my Star
Lantern in the hour of darkness While daylight lies behind the mountains Radiance tone in the atmosphere thou displayed As if I crave for your twinkling angle, edge to edge. Day seems to be good But even the nights play to be better And thy presence be the centre of magnitude For numerous eyes will gaze on you and stare All by myself and all that I know Of a certain thought about you Can enlighten happiness and rub out sorrow Contentment, satisfaction can be obtained with you Now a shade of red, now a hue of blue Glimmering curtains in the sky And as cracking of dawn will be through It’s time to say goodbye.

Even the Nights are Better
You’re the prettiest You are the cutest And if I had to make a new word It would be beautifulest You’re the most charming You are amazing And why I find you pretty and sweet I would say that you’re my heart’s beat I see you grin from ear to ear And dissolve into laughter But I know you’re still stick in a labyrinth Where you’re drown in pain When you smile (cry) When you laugh (break down) I want my presence to be with you And stop the skies for turning into blue If you place your heart in my hand I will keep it safe for me I will cherish, care, protect, love And treat it compassionately I imagine that you’re like a glass A glass that can easily be broken And I want it on me to last So that I can guard it even until the end You as a woman is fragile When broken into pieces, it’s painful to clean up You may stick it up, but you’ll notice The cracks still remain I want to collapse into you When your heart is bursting And I want to hold you When your bones are chilling Everything on you is labeled fragile And I don’t want to break anything on it I just want to handle you with all my care You are precious, you are wonderful.. Ever

You're Fragile
Named specifically by angels, legendary Even people in this age considered it a mystery Lovely for true that I can say, “I love you” Visible, beautiful and that’s all I knew It gallops with a long white horn and Every night I dream, to touch you, Starhorn.

Starhorn
Halfway down the stairs is where I sit There isn’t any other stair quite like it Sometimes in the bottom, sometimes at the top So this is the spot where I always stop My heart and mind is set every glorious day Waiting for you to beep me, that’s why I stay I am waiting here not with an open but with close arms For me, at the dawn, to keep warm Time passes by slowly Seconds, minutes and even for hours Making me a little bit crazy For patience and time are at war It’s around 4:30 in the morning To the stairs I’m positively sitting Stretching my legs alone and gladly waiting Still blissful and joyful cause I got this feeling I love the topics when we chat Coz’ it is one of the many ways to smile in difficult time, and I feel that Greetings, smileys and sweet sticker Well, it made my day even better In that stairs, you’re always worth the wait Even if… even if waiting is forever And I will never get tired waiting As long as you’re there, I will never… ever Now halfway up the stairs Isn’t down and it isn’t up Then you suddenly show up And my head is filled with cheerful and sweet thoughts for me to go back
