Angel on earth

Angel on earth

I saw myself flying high, above the sky
to the snow mountain, to the end of the
Planet.

I saw tears flying down on my cheek

The white dress covered my face, covered my tears…
I felt like an angel…

Flying high….

With tears flying down on my arm
I was flying like an angel

I saw myself flying high
With horizon disappearing in my eye

The white snow mountain
The wind blows the horizon





Purple

Please take a deep breath
Please listen to your heart closely
Please forget my name if you don’t remember my face,
Please think of a girl, in a beautiful afternoon,
When the rainbow starts arising,
When the air is full of your breath,
When the wind starts breezing, dear!
When you’re drinking your coffee at Starbucks
Please think…think of a girl

16 years old, walking toward you
with a velvet trend
with a pinnacle light on her hand

her cloth is so white, like the moonlight,
she remembers that night, the moon also was so bright
that night, how the lightning breaking through
the surface of her tide.

Tonight,
The moon blossoming like lotus
She walking down your window
like a purple lilac
bringing you the ancient fragrance
With the ocean’s breath



A Raining Day in Los Angeles


It’s a raining day in Los Angeles,
darling, I opened my window cause
I want to see you.
to see you as a stranger, to see you as a lover
to see you as my echo
to see a beautiful soul covered with fear

If not for me,
What’s the meaning of living?
If not for me,
What’s the point to live in the city of angels?

Mama said she will be right back
Papa said his hair turned white

I closed my window, then I want to go back to Colorado
Go back to Aspen…
Go back to where I came from…
Hiding in those pine trees and never never miss you
again.

I want to leave this city just for you
I want to save all my tears in my heart,
just for you.
darling, you promised me
you will be right back…

It’s a raining day in Los Angeles.




(Hollywood, afternoon, when the sun comes out…)



Autumn Song

It’s the first day of October.
It’s a shining rain on your back, falling
Like you left me , without saying anything

I closed my eyes, then I saw your face,
Every time when I close my eyes, I see your face,
beautiful, cautious, real, like a mirror,
I can see my heart beating, bleeding.

It’s the first day of October,
It’s a day will end everything.
I ran, ran, like a child,
But I can never fill your dream, like a baby,
falling, falling…
faded away
eventually.

I sing, I sing,
I travel like a sunflower.
The gold petals are my tears,
My frozen dream is like you left me without saying
Without saying: this world is wonderful,
Without
Saying: “Hi, baby, let me take you away…”

Your smile is like sunshine,
Warm me on the first day.
But I can’t see anything;
my tongue is frozen because you’re leaving,
maybe also because it’s raining.
It’s raining.

On the way I’m looking for your shadow,
Please don’t, don’t hide from my window.

I’m on my way, thunderstorm, and lightning,
baby, I’m on my way.

To leave you is to be with you,
To love you is to sing this song for you.



Good-bye, My Love


The pacific is flowing for whom?
The sunset singing for whom?

The phoenix dying for whom?
The Everest snow- melting for whom?
The sun
The air
The morning water drop on the grass
Tip.
The red roses, white clouds…
They are blossoming for whom?
If you see you will understand
If you love you will understand
If you wait if you pray
If you weep, you will never leave.

I have been waiting for you before
I was even born
My heart is beating in the darkest of my dream…

The Middle East’s gunshots
The Iraq’s blood
China’s 2008, Olympic
Baby, how can you not know, how can you not seen?

My heart is beating, just for a cosmic reason.

The yellow river sings for whom?
The great wall standing for whom?
The people, the Everest
The Sahara’s tears
The phoenix’s cheek

Darling if you understand this woman,
You will know the air is filled of my
Finger tip.
They are shining just like the dream shinning in your boyhood
I love you, I love the sky full of light
I love my heart is open for a democratic reason

This is my fondest dream
For you, my darling,
Waiting for you,
And never return.
like the brightest of the sky in your eye

Darling, if you understand this woman
You will understand the air is full of her finger tip

I love you!
I love the sky full of light!
I love your past and I love your dream’s strength and weakness
I cry cause I love
I sing cause I love
I write cause I love
I fly…
Cause
I
Love.

I love my heart open for a secret
For a man I can never reach…

The luminous sky and Niki’s eye
Tom Cruise standing on the far side of my roof

The Yangtze river
The three dams
My bed is buried in the red boiling current, then I think of a boy
And that is you, my love, I know I won’t have to sleep inside the river forever, and I can always
escape.

I can’t escape cause I love

From now on I am going to flow like a leaf
fly like a song, fly like a lie
flow like a child can fly
from now on, I am going to knock on your door all the time, feed you with my milk
picking up the bloody old flowers.
from now on, I’m going to leave you, leave you and never never come back

From now on, I’m going to refused Hamburgers and potato chips
From now on, I’m going to let pacific wash my sin and dust, from now on, I am going to leave you, leave you and never come back, from now on,

From now on, I am going to let Everest’s snow bury my fondest dreams,

From now on, the Everest is going to collapse in my backyard, from now on I am going to disappear, disappear just for you, just for you.
Good-bye, my love.



Sweet Pie ( The coldness of Los Angeles)

My gaze at your forehead
My roof under your eye
I can never forget
I can never escape
from your little secret

I’m like a flame
Losing it’s very bright
I’m like a bird
try to heal the old wounds
I am like an alien
Look into your window

But you are NOT there
You are not there my friend
The sky covered everything up
I’m just staying in my little cold room
Listening “The Man who Sold the world”

Am I looking for connection?
Am I seeking your shadow?
Or it’s your innocence melted the dark side of my dream

I don’t know
I am like a lost child
I gazed you from another planet
I gazed you from my last breath
I gazed you with my both hands trembling in the wind
I gazed you with that confusion and innocence
Like a lost child finally found home

It’s a cold day in Los angles
The cold air sneaked in to my bones
I’m thinking of you
I’m thinking of you cause I love
I’m thinking of you cause I am lost
I’m thinking of you cause I finally found home

The rain poured in May
The strangers’ eye pass by
I’m like an alien lost my direction
But sure this is not the end

This is not the end baby
I am looking for your shadow,
Like I’m looking for sunbeam
In this rainy day
Under my roof

I’m looking for you cause I love
I’m looking cause I care
Maybe too much

I miss you not because one soul betrayed another
I miss you cause you are an angel

This is a rainy day in Los Angeles
I am looking for you like I’m looking for my last life
Like I’m looking for shadow in the dazzling bright sunlight
Which created who I am

I miss you yes I am innocent
I’m not guilty cause you are sensitive enough to figure it all
Out

I miss you cause I am an angle too

I want to touch your fingertips
I want to have a road trip

I want to kiss your hair
I want to reach your soul

How long it takes to break my sin?
How long it takes to make a love complete?

I am waiting for you
In the shadow

I am waiting for you
In my own cube

I’m waiting for you
Cause I love

I miss you
Cause I am an angel too.



Gaze

You are beautiful
You are an angel

You are a soldier
You are my mirror
You are my fear
you are my long lost pal

Gaze you like sex
Looking into your soul
I cried

I cried like a leaf falling down the
River

I cried
After you warmed the very center of my
fear

I know
This is not the end

Gaze at you
Like heaven coming to earth
Like your tears shine on my finger
tips.

let’s go to Mars
Let’s drink coffee on Sunset blvd
Let’s make love in the forest
When the moon shine in your blood

Let’s laugh
Let’s cry
Let’s live with decency
Let’s be outrageous
Let’s be gentle
Like fire
Like water
Like ice cube in your glass.


A gentle touch of love


I'm suffering...
am I?


I am dreaming
am I?
I saw this gentle love around my arm
I feel angel watching me sleep


Am I dreaming?

Am I suffering?

I feel LOVE dancing all over my Apt.
in Hollywood.
