Postlove Poet

Postlove Poet

After a short-lived marriage she survived

Her poetic turn of mind revived

“Even if you lift me up from the snow ground

 I shall requite you with another downfall.”

How many lovers fall victim of love’s crevasse

And never regret but long with more forever

But I have matured into a kind of wisdom

To know Love is the Goddess Mt. Everest

That is to be worshiped  but scarcely reached

And once there you lost yourself

I would like to convince her of the truth

And relieve her the pain and vain of struggle

But inwardly there is my decaying age

And jealousy that she is still a virile poet

While I have degenerate to an arid sage

爱情之后

走出一次短暂而幻灭的爱情

她又重拾赖以为生诗情

“如果你再一次从雪地上扶起我

我还是以跌倒回报你。”

有多少追求爱情的人跌入冰隙

有些人前赴后继，从不后悔

但我已经成熟为一个智者

明白爱情是一座珠穆朗玛

只能膜拜，不可高攀  

会当绝顶，只有失去自己

好想劝她相信这一真相

让她免去这无谓的追求

但内心深处却是自身的衰颓

还有嫉妒---她仍是一个无畏的诗人

而我已蜕变成了一个无欲无求的圣人
