Flower Spoon

Flower Spoon

By Cheng Lie

As though the smile
is a name that never being bored,
like twilight streamlet,
sound of silence flowing
and all the titles of gentle eyes.
The earth creates a bedstead
hazy love fills it up then,
sparkling light from heavens,
leads anguished exiles in the dust
with inexhaustible codes of vocabulary
to bow out of material desire hastily
then boundless space straight forward
the vast, the stars voiceless---
and finally, come to a rose
to be reborn, fortunately.
At that moment, deeply
there's nowhere to hide but
being a convert to hometown of Love.

花之匙

程烈

仿佛微笑
一个永不厌倦的名字，
如暮光之水
寂静流淌的声音
以及对柔顺目光全部的称谓。
大地创造出一张床
朦胧的爱再将它填满，
天庭上闪耀的光，引领着
尘埃中羁绊的流亡者
带着词汇无穷的编码
弓身穿越物欲匆匆
然后是无限辽阔
无限辽阔，恒星的静默——
来到一朵玫瑰面前
获得幸福的重生。
那一刻，深深恍然
除了皈依爱的故乡
世界已无处藏身。
