Bonfire

In mid winter’s grip, the fallen branches we clear,

Lighting a fire, bringing warmth to the backyard cold weather. 

With bare hands, paths you etched, logs chopped, 

a symbol of resilience, viva la vie unclogged.

On the porch, weeds from the past uproot, 

New blossoms set in place to shoot. 

Plants of hope, 

Symbol of renewal in vibrant petals cast, 

A vow endearing, real and steadfast. 

Kindlings spark and intense they glow, 

yet fade them easily away, 

Stay and the logs burn slow, 

a lasting flame. 

Longevity displays

True test in faith.

In our memory, this day a chapter is marked, 

one wintry bonfire to unite two loving hearts. 

隆冬时节，我们清理落枝，

点燃篝火，为寒冷的后院带来温暖。

你赤手空拳，清除杂草，砍开木头，

象征着坚韧不拔，畅通无阻地生活。

门廊上，昔日的杂草被连根拔起，

新的花朵绽放。

希望的植物，

象征着新生，绽放出鲜艳的花瓣，

誓言动人心弦，真实而坚定。

燃点幼枝火花四溅，光芒四射，

却轻易消逝，

木柴缓缓燃烧，

化作长久的火焰。

永恒地展现着

对信念的真正考验。

在我们的记忆中，

这一天注定了一个新篇章，

一场冬日篝火，

将两颗相爱的心紧紧相连。

Earlier draft by AI

“In the winter’s grip, we clear the fallen, 

Set a fire, bring warmth to the cold. 

Paths etched, logs sawed, 

A symbol of resilience, love so bold.

On the porch, we uproot the past, 

Plant seeds of hope, blooming anew. 

Life’s renewal, in petals cast, 

A love enduring, steadfast and true.

Kindlings spark and fade away, 

But the logs burn slow, a lasting flame. 

Love’s true test in longevity’s sway, 

Deep in the heart, it engraves a name.”

20250703 Ticket for our journey

 03072025 The ticket for our journeys

That's the ticket for our journeys,

Nature has intended for a guy and his lady.

We will brave the waters and climb up hills,

Cherish the moments with our steadfast will.

We'll watch the sun dip behind the trees,

whisper dreams on the evening breeze.

Through tangled roots and creeks that run dry,

Wit will bind us like Gemini.

"I will be your guide, 

my dear,

Two kisses is all you need to qualify."

这就是我们旅程的门票，

大自然为一对男女精心安排。

我们将勇闯江湖，攀登高峰，

用我们坚定的意志珍惜每一刻。

我们将看夕阳西下，

在晚风中轻声细语，诉说着梦想。

穿过纠结的树根和干涸的小溪，

智慧将像双子座一样将我们紧紧相连。

“我会成为你的向导，

亲爱的，

你只需要给两个吻就能让你过关”

Clinging on 

Hands I reached out he shunned away, not from lack—

but from knowing emotions would crack

against the jagged edge of fate,

so he chose the distance, chose the weight.

He gave me a wound that spared the knife, 

Not to save his heart, but mine,

He built the firewall, he drew the line.

And in that longing for mercy soaked in pain,

I lost him—not once, but time and again.

—After knowing the Why—

I did not lose him— he still walks and talks

heartbeat and breath

in the same hush between, 

I could sense his easing,

But that feeling for him though, has shed its skin. 

Ain’t broken, not betrayed—

I just reassembled, thoughts and emotions softly frayed.

No longer heart, body and soul aligned,

but something quieter, redefined.

And now the whole of him I see—Truthfully,

too gently severed to be the past we.

抓住

我伸出的手，他却躲开了，并非因为缺乏——

而是因为他知道感情终将在

命运的锯齿边缘破碎，

所以他选择了距离，选择了负担。

他给了我一道免于刀刺的伤口，

不是为了拯救他自己，而是为了拯救我的心，

他筑起了防火墙，划清了界限。

在痛苦中渴望怜悯，

我失去了他——不止一次，而是一次又一次。

——在知道“为什么”之后——

我没有失去他——他依然行走、说话，

心跳和呼吸

在同样的静谧中，

我能感受到他的放松，

但对他的那份暇想与情怀，却已褪去。

没有破碎，没有背叛——

我只是重新组合，情感轻轻地磨损。

不再是心、身、灵的统一，

而是某种更安静、更清晰的东西。

如今我已看清他的全貌——真实地，

被温柔地割断，不再是过去的我们。

20250723 Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay

On Buck Moon day, at Half Moon Bay,

the rusting Cerberus witnessed:

relentless tides above the horizon rose,

unforgiving waves gushed in,

onto bystanders sprinkled the warning mist’s constraint. 

Brine on surfaces, splashed like vice’s memory—

slowly corroding the layer of lustrous paint.

Her Majesty’s Victorian Ship, once mighty, 

now sunken, worn, 

War and battles long gone.

Polyps proliferated, corals sing; deep in peace, 

The colonial ship becomes home to life marine. 

Let not salt’s harm seep beneath; 

soft rain away the old angst and pain rinsed,

You and I, both entrenched, 

Give our friendship a chance to glow anew from within.

-Forget the past, let the new chapter begin

雄鹿月满那天，在半月湾，

锈迹斑斑的 Cerberus  号见证了

海平面上无情的潮水涨潮，

和翻天的巨浪涌来，

向旁观者洒下警示性的约束。

海水溅到船体表面，如同罪恶的记忆——

慢慢腐蚀着那层光亮的油漆。

维多利亚女王时代战轮，曾经雄伟壮观，

如今沉没，破败不堪，

战争和搏斗早已远去。

珊瑚虫繁衍，珊瑚在宁静的深处歌唱：

这艘殖民船已成为海洋生物的家园。

别让盐的腐蚀渗透到底层；

让柔和的雨水冲去旧日的焦虑和痛苦，

你和我，都坚守着，

让我们那“友情之船”有机会从内而外

焕发新的光彩。

——忘记过去，开启新的篇章吧
