One:  Bridge Is it the bridge Between, Now and forever? The bridge of fear When will you be crossing over? Is it the bridge between Possibility and doubt And will we stay strong Or are we willing to drown? Is it the bridge between Who we are and Where we lust and love? Would the distance, Abide Or will it be us merged, eventually? Are we ready To venture, to cross this bridge To our destiny but no future? Freeze your breath and listen to the breeze A bridge, the transparent gap We are inclined If you are, to cross the bridge That leads to one. Love. Two: Reunion When seagull whistles we all came together at this reunion day World has changed since we've seen each other Although remained love never goes away Where covered faces shades blessing Without understanding of their souls We think we know a lot about each other But some things we will never know Disgust in uncertain eyes and exhausted looks A lady in red walks off into silver lake As a space shuttle pulls away they will never know her hidden pain At least not on this reunion day.

Qixi— Two Undelivered Emails
Milky constellations studied for centuries by astronomers Form a floating river separating two lovers Every night they ponder At which moment they could have started over But not once does the daughter of the heavens Repent on her escapade onto Earth Nor the ox-herder regret his walk along the river For never would their souls have stayed entwined for lifetimes otherwise Was this eternal story of love always destined to end like this But is this the end or merely a beginning For if birds adorned in feathers of the night’s colors Can be moved by their fathomless love To craft a cosmic bridge on the seventh day of the seventh cycle of the moon For a reunion that brings tears to clouds and smiles to the stars Who is to say That there won’t be a day When that bridge will stay Forever in the skies
