___
The Oriental Enchantress
Moths pounce onto
Onto the only source of light in the darkness
Their breakable wings
Wings that dangle through the flames
realizing the light
is not palpable
For mortals
This person, I know
She hurt me, I know
She will probably again, I know
I should stay away, I know
That I cannot, I know
That she knows, I know
Lingering on the last breath
Encountering irresistible fascination
Mnemonic traces
Shadows transmuted into images
Appears extraneous to the appearance
An inflorescence standing revealed before,
The pre-existing nature.
Witness this in silence
Seduce our starved soul
Within the enclosure of consciousness
Unveiling the swelling universe
Burying the reminiscent traces of curse
The whole world
Is enclosed
Within one eye of hers
The moonlight shines tonight
in her chamber, she watches alone
Her cloud-like hair is sweet with mist,
Her jade arms cold in the clear moonlight.
When shall she lean in the empty window,
in brightness, and tears dried up?
Darling
I let you fly
Flying like a kite
With a single string attached
When I pull it gently
You feel the pain in your heart
