Chinese ideogram enigma .
Haiku wisdom caressing
mount Fuji .
I imagine you ,lost
in the Seoul crowd ,
gazing at the bay of Along .
Fragile ballerina
that for millennia
has slept
in the Angkor stone ...
She dances gracefully
on her silk thread .
I feel a long walk in her eyes
and black and red rivers
casting a veil of secret monsoons...
Is she a water dragon ?
Or serpent of fire ?
Your lips,have the modest shape
of a moon watching
over the rice paddy ...
She looks up at me
but doesn't see me ...
I don't belong to your heritage .
She tells the story of storms
from another age ...
But so free of passion .
'' OOh ! Give me hug ,
need your love ! ''
Are these lyrics without song ?
She closes the mysteries
of her computer ,
leaving a touch of jasmin
in the teacup .
Delicate hand running through
the cascade of her night hair ...
She's leaving in so many arrivals.
And without a smile ,
seems at last to grant me a life ...

Although ignorant of the Chinese language this poem holds many plays on Chinese words or at least close approximations in English and the word play is delightful while it weaves a great and most artistic picture of a stereotypical oriental image. Most lovely
Mount fuji .Japan.
Angkor temples .Cambodgia.
Seoul capital of Korea.
Along bay.Viet nam.
Stereotypical and eternal asian image .
But a computer as modern style life !
Great write
Thanks a lot Tony !
You're welcome
A smooth fusion of geography and soul lends your poem the feeling of delicate, almost mystical painting. A beautiful work! Here, you are a pilgrim through foreign worlds, a catcher of scents and shadows — one who seeks not to possess, but to understand.
a portrait that blends tradition and modernity .
The dragon and the computer !
