Poem of fourteen lines

Do you live in the dark?

The stars fall down on your courtyard

Still you wake up in the midnight

qith eye-full of dreams

Fogs gather on the window night swings like banana leaf

White flowers will bloom on all over your bed.

Are you like flower? If it is flower, it would be white

Fragrance of moonbeams will roll over, like marbles

In afterlife you”ll roll away all the pains and sufferings

Songs of life will be heard from all sides

There”s a wide wild river between you and me

Like silvery tape, and scars of pains are all over

Cold cool water drench slim bare legs

Legs are adored with a pair of jingles

Jingles gather rusts, days become coppery

You”ve loved me, but all debts are cleared
