Each and every dayIt forces me to watch the street of hubbubMy ears are also an abhorrent devilWho wants me to forget your from the bottom of my heartHow can this be realized? Each and every nightIt forces me to listen to the song wafting from the back laneO my distant lover ...
The Silent LoverMy eyes are an awesome monster
Who wants me to erase you from the bottom of my heart
How can this be realized? Each and every day
It forces me to watch the street of hubbub
My ears are also an abhorrent devil
Who wants me to forget your from the bottom of my heart
How can this be realized? Each and every night
It forces me to listen to the song wafting from the back lane
O my distant lover
Be quick to play your flute
Don’t you know their intention
O my distant lover
Be quick to open your eyes
Please open a peachblossom-like smile
And a megranate-flower-like smile
Alas, my lover is always all smiles
What on earth, has made him so taciturn
Hualianmeilun, April, 1955Wafting FlowersThere is a kind of flowers which, upon warmth and heat, will melt
A patch of polygonal water mark will be left , on the palm
There is a kind of flowers, which love to rest on the brow and hair
Silently, it will dye the dark years white
There is a kind of flowers, which can deliver cold pieces of letter, into the pupil
To express the message of trembling coldness
There is a kind of flowers, which are dancing all over the sky, wafting with the wind
They become water upon touching water and become mud upon touching mud
There is a kind of flowers, which broadcast their ideal towards the wasteland
And they exploit the dreamland of frontier in the footsteps of flocks and herds
There is a kind of flowers, which are rootless, leafless, and odorless
And their career and fortune, is quite like me, and my name is
Snowflake
Water BirdFrom a corner where it defies watching
Your beautiful posture of gliding
A water bird flies hither by fluttering its wings
Trippingly, your soft and tender web
Has stepped upon the lake of my face
With that, it has dived into the deep eddy
And is immersed
You skin-dive into the depth, exploring
And you have held in the mouth some joys, and some surprises
Oh! To swim away
You swim and swim leisurely
Across my neck, tender like water
And on a tiny raised shoal, you come to a stop
You comb your hair, and your feather elegantly
Sitting silently for incubation, and you know that
A warm spring
Has already been, approaching
Taipei, 1975
