酷我-北美枫

[anna]

I can’t.
Instead I watch you
from the window.
The sky is blue
and bluer.

Love once glowing in your eyes
now slips from my lips
lands on the flicking candle-light.
On our short and shorter journey,
you say, take and give back.

But the leaves are shivering.
I am not the rose
that you can water and praise
nor the shore that
you can rest on and expand.
Everything could be an illusion,
like us, not itself--
burnt by a torch,
caught by a fire,
washed by a flood,
then panicking in a boat
without lifejackets.

In this world,
things are measured
by size, color and weight,
even our looks and feelings.
We are pre-set in our orbits
shouldn’t meet, collide, exile…

Still I can’t.
Knowing love is the gravity--
one day I will madly fall into…

Everything might be just an illusion,

Well, I can’t.
Instead I watch you from the window.
The sky is blue and bluer.
A lake of new silence grows in your eyes,
the candle is short and shorter like our journey.

All leaves are shivering.
I wish I could be the rose
that you water and it blooms,
or the shore that
you rest on and it expands.
But everything is just an illusion,
like ice or fire, not itself--

In this world,
things are measured
by size, color and weight,
even our looks and feelings.
We are pre-set in our orbits--
shouldn’t meet, collide, exile…
