----(in fact, real desert rose needs long time to form and it is really beautiful. but very cheap in Africa Market...
Sometimes poetry is just poetry... the mood is not real..
)
Desert Rose
It is cheap,
50 cents in an African Market,
sands and tiny stones congregate,
with a romantic name dried in the desert
where flowers are rare
life there
has no trace of a spring;
I bring it back
and water it with my heart,
pray and hope.
only to find--
sand is sand,
it hones streams of tear.
在非洲市场上,
它很便宜,
50分钱而已.
细沙和小石子凝聚在一起,
一个浪漫的名字干枯在
鲜花不开的沙漠.
那儿生活
没有春的痕迹.
我把它带回,
用心浇注,
祈祷和希望.
唯独发现
沙还是沙,
我泪如泉涌.
