Love Poems
I am as soft as butter
I melt in your heat
Let me not slip through
------
How can I give you my song?
My voice is choked
My musical instrument shy
--------
The brook passes frolicsome
The forest is heavy
With bird-songs
-----------
You play with my lean fingers
And sing of some flower-bud
Am I that flower-bud?
------------
You are bad, very bad
You have stolen my windows
I cannot close them
-------------
My milky white breasts
Like forest pigeons
Seek safe nest
When wind gathers storm
-----------
You are shameless
You drop your coverings
Behind the winter mist
-------------
In absence of mind
I forgot you were here
On this dreamy blue lake
-------------
I was asleep sick of your absence
And could not hear your footsteps
Breathless at my window
-----------
Your amorous laughter
Is a brief refrain
To my evening song
----------
I am doe-eyed
You say day and night
You have killed the doe
My vision is blurred
------------
You are a gifted woodpecker
You have made room
In my love-dried heart
-----------
Is my bedroom your playground?
I am sick of your love
Go back to your forest
And play tunes to water fowls
------------
We slept near a cataract
Waters falling down
Like your desires
I was blinded by their atoms
-----------
It’s waters off a duck’s back
My words are futile
I must kiss you last
And close my lips
------------
Sometimes you are a purring cat
Sometimes a scratching mouse
Where am I in this cat and mouse game?
------------
Your love makes me sad
You love me like water
And I am a pond
-------------
Boatman sings songs of absence
Mountain clouds are slow moon
My eyes are dry in the evening lamplight
Room of swirling mists
--------------
Years slipped into centuries
Old snow coiled the mountain top
I heard with deep shudder
Distant rumbling of thunder
My lover's profound kisses
