 On Every Blank Page I Create a New World

On Every Blank Page I Create a New World

“To fall in love is to create a religion

that has a fallible god.”

                                  ---Jorge Luis Borges

There will always be a lonesome man
and a heart-broken woman
across the ocean called Destiny
building a bridge with stars & tears

The love letters they write to each other
are filled with fecund flowers
and dreams from sleepless nights. Love
grows no matter how hard the wind blows

Every new world I create on a blank page
tells the same old story, beautiful and wet
One never get tired of listening to her song
I never get tired of retelling his secrets

Time after time, I become sensitive and nurtured
I can hear her footsteps, bare feet on the clouds
I can smell her sweet body blossoming
though dark mountains keep us apart

On every blank page I create a new “you”
elegantly dressed, sometimes nude
you often shy away from my impatient request
then you get closer holding up your breasts

We drink words from each other’s mouth
We make love on the unlit stairs
while angels holding up the lamp. Shhhhh!
Be quiet buddy, we can manage without God!

Poetry and Love.
Life and Death.
God or no God.
What’s the difference does it make?

[painting by Chagall, "At the Gate of Heaven"]

一張白紙，一個故事

世間總有些孤獨的男人
還有些心碎的女人
想用星星和淚水
搭建跨越命運之海的橋梁

往來的情書
滿是怒放的鮮花
和無眠之夜的美夢。愛
生長著，不管風吹得有多猛

我在每張白紙上寫下的新篇章
都述說同一個古老的故事，那麽美麗，那麽濕濡
從未有人厭倦聽她唱歌
我也不倦地重複他的秘密

日成年，年成歲月，習慣漸成敏感
我聽得見她赤腳在雲端漫步
我聞得到她身體散發的芬芳
那怕深山將我們遠隔兩旁

一張張白紙上，我描繪一個個全新的‘你’
有時裝束高雅，有時一絲不掛
你總是羞澀地躲避我的渴欲
又凝胸向我靠攏

我們從親吻中盡飲呢喃
我們在黑暗的階梯上交歡
天使為我們掌燈。噓~~！
悄點聲，夥計，沒有上帝，我們也能愛

詩和愛
生與死
是否有上帝
有何幹係？
