Poems from China

My Essences

Lotus pond at night

The original can be found at 荷塘月色

By the fragrant lotus
...behind the jade curtains
.....the symphony of the pond
.......waves ripples all around

Under the sultry moon shine
...deep in the dreaming land
.....the beautiful lunar idol
.......lies drunken in her roll

Aromatic lily emerges a pretty face
...as if a beauty out of a steamy bath
.....Scented air brings an affectionate breath
.......like a messenger with a divine grace

Perfumed pond exhales pulsating gusts
...as if an Anemoi expelling the lonesome nuisance
.....Shiny moon spreads lingering sights
.......like a Selene exposing the forlorn silence

My first day in America (Written in 1988)Happy Halloween
