"Stop!" I throw my white pillow to the door.

 

"OMG, I said stop!"  I shouted ragefully.  

 

A piercing scratching sound disrupted my dream in the darkness.  It seemed like a monster was striking my door but chose a more excruciating way. What was worse?  The noise fitfully rang out for the whole night, and my head followed the striking rhythm, dizzied. The room inclined, and became dim, as  vague as covered with mist. I was exhausted to fight this strange situation, like a stretch of boggy ground lying feebly on the bed. And my face was thirsty and pale reflected on the mirror.  Later, when I crept up to the door,  the demoniac sound rocked my brain again. I was scared and headache, and quickly went back to my bed. I huddled in the quilt and hold breath, fearing that monster could go inside my room. But actually, a  black shadow had invaded my mind.

 

“Who are you?" 

 

"Why you scared me?" 

 

I heard there was a sound in my deep heart trying to taklk to me. I quickly looked at the black shadow again. Nothing. There is no black shadow, but a mirror.  My headache came again, just like something struck my head over and over, same frequency as my heart beat. 

 

I remember nothing after a qualm. The sunshine came into my room. I realized that it was another day .

 

When the sun lightens the city,

every old building is dressed in a tremendous year

prosperity, honor and joy

dazzled with brilliance

 

In the corner

another world

Putrid liquids oozed down the streets,

spreading death and disease.

The air was filled with the repugnant smell of rotting fish

Chilly wind blows into windpipe

Dusts hit pedestrian’s face

Grey stubble,a tatty t-shirt,dark trousers

all around the street

 

When colorful board decorates the street

no one pays attention

no one does something

people in suits and ties

are in a hurry

with their plain face

and they,

the ragged men

stand on the crossways

with their grins

lighting up the coldness of this city
 

I should learn to be thankful

 

Every frustration,

destroying my mind

hiding the merits shown on my soul

I am falling under the depression

I am waiting in torment, every second

 

Without these friendly punishment

I would be lost, and

and don’t know how to start writing my mundane life

 

In pain,

I play a word game finding all hope

Black, white, gray

boring colors compose my missing

endlessly

 

Cannot hear the evil wind blowing flower, hurt it

Cannot see the dew touching the skin of leaves

The chain,with white wings, decorates the cage

and the cage,  locks my smooth life sailing

 

I, look for the newborn from setback fate

I, trace the live from crack,

I, seek the pure mind with few desires.

What’s more,

The shadow of wheel of time always compresses my humble past

so pathetic

Hello?
It is a beautiful night
do you want to go outside?

 

The street decorated in light
quiet and bright
a small shadow follows me behind
Alright,i don't mind,
party is waiting for me tonight.

 

Left and right
i walk down the street side
why people look at me so sad
seems like I did something bad
why my damn black kite stays so high
hardly to trace the route it flies

 

Don't cry

Throw the rose you sent, blight
I am a new dark knight tonight
in this wonderland

only can see one star bright
I named it my snow white
image she hold my hand so tight
seems like she is my real Ms.Right

 

Hello?
Don't call me again
you are nothing in my brain

My planet with spring tickles my nose
With the revival of growing lives
With the noise of whispering flowers
With the silence of my secret love
My planet with summer whooshes through my sleeves
With the gentleness of hot air
With the party of loquacious cicadas
With the passion of my love letter
My planet with the sky stands high in the fall
With the aroma of jubilant harvest
With the meeting of red rain from the hillside
With the distress of my expectation losing contact
My planet with the passed winter freezes eternity
With the sweet memory of abandoned valentine’s card
With the residual temperature of his palm
With the outdated list of favorite songs once listen together
My planet with the completed season
With the crowd seeking for love
With some are looking for something else
With some are looking for themselves
With some are looking,
but they hardly explain what they are looking for.

New age is beginning
we are the only survivors


trepidation pushes us quickly go to a ship
crowed but warm
a face is looking at the world in the water
trying to stretch out the precognition
a unicorn with rainbow mark is peering into the sky
left its expectation in this rotary world
hungry sky opens its mouth
waiting for feeding pitifully

someone shout at him hysterically,

"No food!"
a lonely back commands everything behind him
even if there is nothing but a colorful reflection
red blue yellow
interact into each other
breed a new wonderland


We are back

Starry night, mid July,
waiting for a long time to say Hi
Clean face, brilliant smile,
almost cried when I saw your eyes
hold our hands, walked into throng
still felt the warm wherever you and I
fountain and music, dark and light
first time visiting West Lake with someone

 

A sudden thought came out of my mind

“Rico!”
“Hm?”
“Catch me if you can.”


Ran, ran, ran,
chased the wind like a little kid

hided into the darker and darker


Stopped, turned-back, looked around
no one was behind

“Rico?” It was silent.
“Rico?” No one answered.
“Rico?” Can only hear the wind.

 

A shadow in the darkness moved toward me.
Next second, everything went black.
“I catched you.”

 

When I unload this burden
instead, start to believe love;
when I take away the old cheese
instead, get a new one.
Therefore, 
it doesn’t matter

who betrays at first
who steals my cheese

 

Easy come and go

without reason and promise

Forget the old mind of entreating an eternal love 

Enjoy your present

rather than tearing the future

 

Nobody will blame
when a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean
