When I first came across
Humpty Dumpty,
the one who sat on the wall
and had a great fall,
I was twenty,
and couldn't but fancy
what moral
in it there was.
Now,
all the king's horses
and all the king's men
can't put me together again
since I've had myself
many a great fall
along this journey.
Life is so cruel
that I can't help being regretful
for having been a fool.
On second thought,
if there were
no stormy weather,
how could you and I gather
many a windfall?

Supposing
you're the water flowing
down a hill,
I'm a mountain stream
that carries you,
winding through the forest,
past the mill.
Without you,
a stream would be nothing
but empty
Without me,
the water would stand still,
becoming a dead sea.

Humbly love you,
and that's why
I'm writing this poem for you.
I swear to the blue sky
I'm no longer
the notorious guy
that I used be,
but could you believe me?
Honestly,
I've penned hundreds for you,
but didn't send you.
You're not to read this either
because I'll forever
keep it a secret from you,
because I truly love you.

I wrote a poem
for you
but didn't send it through,
still kept in a bottle
beside a bunch of honeysuckle.
Although you're half a world away,
there's always a way
for you
to read my mind
if we're two of the same kind
just as a humming bird
is able to perceive the fragrant word
of golden honeysuckle
from a thousand miles away.

If you grace my humble place
in the snowy season,
I'll efface the bleak wind and rain
from the horizon
for you,
leaving only snowflakes,
falling like colorful petals from heaven
on sunny lakes.
To do the trick,
I don't have to perform magic,
for you
are sure to bring along with you
a light red carnation,
inclusive of my inspiration.

It's drizzling and colder today
than yesterday,
but it's still a blissful day
like everyday for me.
It's not because
I can taste your strawberry,
or I'll win the lottery,
but because
I don't mind
whether it's rain or shine
so long as
I can maintain a peaceful mind.

You and I used to enjoy taking
a walk in the afternoon
while it was raining
in June.
It's still the same rain,
but I'll groan in pain
if you're leaving
in the winter rain.
It's still the same you
that I knew,
but why
are rains in my eye
when I see you waning
under the January blue sky?

I'm perfectly all right now
if you could only
erase those brooding clouds
from my window pane.
I couldn't feel better now
if you could only
efface those footprints
you left on my quiet lane.
Don't you worry about me now
if you could only
find me a needle
to stitch up
those broken pieces of pain.

It's a long road
where there's no turning
on the horizon.
The instant it stops raining,
I'm sure
you'll be beaming.
It's an eternal winter
when there's no hope for spring
but gloomy weather.
Once the sun starts shining,
I bet,
you'll be flying.

Supposing
to be immortal
is as good as
to be a withered willow
or a faded rose petal,
supposing
it's frightful
to look forward to tomorrow,
and supposing
life is not beautiful
but sorrow,
then I'd choose
to be a morning glory,
smiling gorgeously
in the morning
and floating
handsomely
away in the evening.

It's freezing
cold and raining.
Simply because
I have bigger fish to fry,
I have no choice
but to keep on trekking
along an endless lane,
which will lead me to heaven,
a castle in the air,
or nowhere~
it's anyone's guess.
Under a gloomy sullen sky,
I have to imagine
the scintillating spring
is still here
and the icy tear
of winter
on my face is nothing
but summer rain.

Supposing
a good poem
can be compared to
a pretty girl,
then without a doubt,
you're the prettiest poem
I've ever read.
I fell head over heels
in love with you
at first sight.
Now the more
I read you,
the more
I'm attached to you
as well as
your profound fragrance.
I have no choice
but to commit you
to my memory
in case
you might leave me
one day
without bidding me
adieu.

All of a sudden,
without rhyme or reason,
you're sadly sobbing
like a crying baby
this morning.
Wasn't it reported yesterday
that you're going to shine
for many a day
to come?
After many an autumn
have slipped away,
you're still lucky
to remain bewitching
yet moody
like a sentimental lady
at play.
