A Lucky Jasmine

March 14, 2023March 19, 2023 Annabel

I heard the rain dripping on lime spring meadow, I heard the school bells ringing in a familiar tune, but I couldn’t hear your voice calling my name still, Why didn’t I realise meeting you was the best thing in my life? Maybe I was busy dreaming and weeping, busy chasing the shooting stars from… Continue reading A Lucky Jasmine

Next Dawn

January 24, 2023February 4, 2023 Annabel

Do not wake me up even with the genial kisses of today's sunrise, I am planting a sweet dream that will bloom for a thousand times, from this mortal moment to next eternity, yet how long is a forever? A little life is a human life, short years with a cup of tear latte, a… Continue reading Next Dawn

The Best Gift

December 4, 2022March 25, 2023 Annabel26 Comments

They have confessed their love for you, for each one saw a fragment of your soul that mysteriously kindling their very own, gentle as falling petals tickling the senses. But when these fragments eventually piece back in front of you, only you have the chance to fall in love with such wholesomeness, and becoming the… Continue reading The Best Gift

The Mystery

September 6, 2022February 4, 2023 Annabel24 Comments

I once saw a galaxy of grass knitting the mountain top, strongly, steadily, expanding and claiming territories. From there grew new suns, moons and fresh constellations. They reminded me of you. Your face and your smiles, I only vaguely remember, But Dear, I need not see you to know you are here. Your breath of… Continue reading The Mystery

To Youth

August 22, 2022September 10, 2022 Annabel27 Comments

How the time of youth is to be spent? One day in despair and another in dreaming, One step to heaven and another to the cliff. Yet no spring beauty nor summer passion has such grace in the harsh face of your pestilence, for these wrinkles tell a story of fever wishes, and our righteousness… Continue reading To Youth

Why Do I Love You

Why Do I Love You

August 16, 2022September 10, 2022 Annabel

I was born by the river in the caress of snow mountains, in the season of dead lotus that had driven out most saints, Seagulls lamenting the icy cold and the angels sliding away. while the aged oak trees loyally stood in the rage of winds, The dusky of liquor blent in wintry rainfall and… Continue reading Why Do I Love You

Muted Castle

Muted Castle

June 22, 2022 Annabel26 Comments

When the great fear came, I grew muted- When the great sorrow came, I grew muted- When the great success came, I was muted- When the great love came, I was again, muted- Oh yes, I lived in a muted marble castle, with only the language of wind and the melody of rain. And the… Continue reading Muted Castle

A Girl In Painting

May 12, 2022May 28, 2022 Annabel30 Comments

She could be in my dreams or a yellow-paged painting, the smallest girl staring from afar with her freckled cheeks, her sun-burned face red as ripe tropical lychees, her hands always hide behind blue chiffon curtains for she never tells you what she thinks, but her heart pounding hard in rhythmic sonata On Christmas,cold and… Continue reading A Girl In Painting

I Can Fly

I Can Fly

April 26, 2022April 26, 2022 Annabel46 Comments

Love is in your eyes, sitting silent by my side Going on, holding hands, walking through the night Hold me up, hold me tight, lift me up to touch the sky Teaching me to love with heart, helping me open my mind I can fly, I'm proud that I can fly To give the best… Continue reading I Can Fly

Two Poppyseeds

Two Poppyseeds

March 2, 2022February 4, 2023 Annabel26 Comments

It is true that every time I write, I want you to be near. So close and so near, I'd drop two poppyseeds in both of your eyes, one is lilac-purple, another be Christmas-red, See they grow and bloom, pollinated by my gaze, showered first in morning rain then evening breeze, Next summer, I'll come… Continue reading Two Poppyseeds

Imperfect Lover

Imperfect Lover

February 14, 2022February 15, 2022 Annabel22 Comments

In synchronicity, We found one another. In escaping, We were encircled by Shadows. When the dark ships move through melting shores, When storms surge tenfold flung up endless cyclones, I see again my bright ironical names in capital letters. In this shimmering, ever glowing and peace-finding voyage, Which wave on her way will stitch my… Continue reading Imperfect Lover

December Passacaglia

December 22, 2021 Annabel26 Comments

December is an aged nostalgic song, with ancient accents in delicate monotone, Aglow and behold weary souls with happy tears, And each note leads to cadence of mystical visions. Can you feel the beauty of heaven’s stars shine upon, with millions of velvet dreams flowing within you? Such is the grace of a tender prayer,… Continue reading December Passacaglia

Second Life

Second Life

November 12, 2021November 12, 2021 Annabel26 Comments

The twilight of your face, the unseen meadow in your voice, drew me to your eyes’spring solace. When we hear the din of our aloneness, When we risk the change that creates and destroys, Is this the last incarnation of a sacred living breath? I grieve the deleted passage, I regret the untold truth, It… Continue reading Second Life

Unnamed Selfie

September 7, 2021 Annabel17 Comments

I started committing various suicides in my various dreams as a 1st grader. what kind of child was only allowed To keep tears and bruise to herself.. I started jumping down from agitated skyscrapers in my agitated dreams as a relentless crusader. what kind of crusader pursued virtual death with such unwavering passion and obsession..… Continue reading Unnamed Selfie

A Beautiful Passerby

August 5, 2021August 5, 2021 Annabel22 Comments

There is the pausing silence in my prayers, and the quietness of falling leaves landing on my breath, As I reach out my limbs to be showered by earliest dawn lights, she sends me away with the coldest scorn and the gentlest breeze! Yet my feet are restlessly undisturbed, matching still, in meaningless tandem. There… Continue reading A Beautiful Passerby

A Good Life

June 10, 2021July 25, 2021 Annabel23 Comments

When daisies pied and violets azure And mayflowers all milky-white, When cuckoo-buds burst out first yellow hue, Do paint the meadows with your choice of pursue. My friends, the things I do admire In a good life be these, I find: The work decent, efforts spent without pain, The leisure plenty, is squandered without shame,… Continue reading A Good Life
