The Scribbles of a Lonely Traveller

[angliholic]

I wish one day
I could somnambulate to the lake
where you used to lie on its bank
and contemplate your beautiful face
on the surface
of the mysterious water

Being a caterpillar
I guess I'd also gaze
long not at my own reflection
but your enthralling reincarnation
the swaying daffodil
graceful like a pretty girl

If I could
borrow some delightful petals from you
to cover my blue
perhaps I wouldn't consider
plunging myself into the water

[angliholic]

Dozens of springs have passed
since I saw you last

Now it must be snowing
in your world
I hope the snowflakes will bring
you romance and love
instead of staying on your silky tresses
which I did long to caress

By the way
keep the old timer far far away
in case he may plow a lonely furrow
on your pretty face
which I can't bear to face
and is sure to leave me in deep sorrow

If your sweet smile
is a forever cheerful daffodil
in spring
never growing old or withering
in my heart
then why not
let's simply miss each other

[angliholic]

Your beauty
is like the soothing sunshine
in icy January
enthralling and sublime
but I dare not take off my clothing
and reveal my true feeling
for I realize
you're definitely not a blessing in disguise

If I expose this amorous heart
to your freezing weather
it'll get frost bite
in a short moment
which can be as poignant
as love bite

[angliholic]

In May
I got swept away
by a little white jasmine flower
and wrote a poem for her
but she preferred the fervent sunlight
and took no delight
in appreciating my writing

Now the wind is howling
and the temperature is freezing
She stands hopeless
alone and flowerless
in the garden
seeming to beg my pardon

Despite feeling pity for her
yet I'm in no mood to play the lyre

Love the last one! Getting fed up is a hard emotion to overcome. Enjoying the honest nature of your scribbles. Be well!

My lass
You're pretty as a red rose
yet you can't deny
there are other forms of beauty
in this colorful universe
with various charming shapes or figures

Take for example
the purple leaves of a maple
they can be charming as
the love in the mist
and the orchid in the valley
may not be less lovely
than the daffodil in the spring
or the buttercup in June

Thanks, Buh, for the like and the kind words

Having had enough
of this cold windy weather
I guess I'd better
turn it off
by gently closing my eyes
Hence
returning to a warmer sunny day
in my mind's eye
when I was taking a rest
in your shade

Blowing out of nowhere
a playful summer breeze
scattered your pure white petals
all over the floor
and onto the humble clothing
of mine
I was wondering why ...
why you smelt so aromatic to me
since I wasn't a butterfly
or a honey bee

Now I guess
not only are you pretty
as a fragrant lass
but also witty
for you intended to grab me
to spread your sweet memory
in the air
via my poetry
in the monotonous winter

[angliholic]

During the dark night
to let you dance in delight
and hold onto like a love handle
I've to keep burning myself
like a candle

At dawn
I'm as good as a pool of red tears
and you a weary moth
burned and lying motionlessly
on the cold floor

If this is the sweet fruit
of our burning love we enjoy so much
then it's better
that we keep each other
at a long distance

[angliholic]

I have to say goodbye now!
I have to go with the summer wind
to find out the meanings of life,
to see why there are so many flowers on earth
as charming as you!

When you miss me,
you might as well⋯⋯
take a look at the wandering clouds,
floating like them,
I'm traveling everywhere.

When you see a shooting star
on a darkest night,
you'll know it's my life
short but
leaving a delightful trail of light!

The sparrows are flitting around
from branch to branch
in the woods
in this green paradise
especially bustling
on this sunny morning
It appears that they're telling
one another it's coming

The spring is coming

Let's get busy
busy as the noisy city
not very far away
just outside the fence
busy making a decent house
busy looking for a pretty spouse
busy having a nest of lovely fledglings
so that each human being
won't miss our singing
come next spring

Very nice, so cheerful just like springtime.

Thanks, free, for the like, and the cheerful feedback

On a drizzling night
a brunette with goo goo eyes
was standing alone
under a bleary street light
apparently having lost all direction in life
like a forlorn wife

I'd take her to my house
if only I lived in a spacious residence
in the countryside

So I regret deeply
to say it's really not very convenient
in a crowded city
to keep a canine pet

[angliholic]

I'm not bragging
but I've never seen any human being
with creamy legs as slim as yours are
sweet as a chocolate bar

You take my breath away
when I see the way
you move with elegance
along with your amorous glance

You're almost perfect
except for the long long neck
which's tall as a lighthouse
yet definitely not my ideal spouse
though I can tolerate your unique habit
eating green leaves on a tree
