I hang my afternoon on a wandering wind; the old shadow of time seems old in stale photo box; a sunbeam at the end of the day climbing over my shoulder and falling asleep as if it’s a bit faded…

Another fact
I received a thousand wishes for myself
And maybe yesterday was the most wine day
I suddenly realized a truth
Is another fact
So sweet!
But your miss was thrown at me
By sharp words
If stepping foot on thorns and says it doesn’t hurt, then you’re probably not telling the truth
Honestly I don’t know since when my soul has been hardened
I can’t see the scratch in your heart, maybe it’s by the shirt
The button, the knot, the belt are dignified
Wrong when hearing the sound of beer to congratulate each other so beautiful
Until coming home alone at night to take off the sadness, I can feel all the pain
There is only a wide and long river, not a square one
You are back and what kind of nice word is left
On the other side hanging half a full moon
Half-life’s mouth inclining to my zone!
With valentine
Tonight the mind returning to my small zone
Forever with memories that can’t be erased
Tell each other about the joys long time ago
But you said that we meet again unexpectedly…
The smell of lilies from the room
What to have after a wake night
Spring hasn’t said it yet to forget, but seems like it’s not remembered
Thank you for giving me a little bit of silent sunshine
No more excuses dropping a button to looking for
The fireworks you brought back have been withered
So keep your doubts down in prayer beds
Who knows, it can keep a little bit of a purple day
Can’t let the coddle leaves become addicted to the wind
I borrow the crunch to blow my heart
If can’t get valentine, then to be a little bird
Standing on the porch singing for the dawn…
The heart anchored, don’t know which side of the river to erode
That you left all these memories
No matter it is said, yesterday can’t return to open the door
The road passing too far, though it rains, I get wet
Don’t know what to do when the mask covering the face but can’t cover the loneliness
As where did you leave this afternoon without foretelling me
The last station, alone in dilemma
Regardless of who say flying words?
The blue bird has flown away, what for keeping the cage
There is no anger to say shady words
The blind cicada can still be presented in summer
We are not so young
To grow old in the limpo afternoons
That day come back and stand by the river to think
As if the rain doesn’t care
You left all these memories as I just flew out of bubbles
The heart anchored, don’t know which side of the river to erode…
Hanging afternoon on a wind
I hang my afternoon on a wandering wind
The old shadow of time seems old in stale photo box
A sunbeam at the end of the day climbing over my shoulder and falling asleep
As if it’s a bit faded…
A face that intending not to talk about the shadow of time
But in the dream, many times still see myself in high school
The wandering wind confusing the hair
Wiping the top of reed flowers
This afternoon why does the sky keep thinking about the day-blooming flowers?
Enduring the waving sun words
The mushrooms just blooming in the garden are not visible to anyone passing by
I’m like the afternoon hanging out of your memory
Sunbeams at the end of the day finally left the afternoon yard
Yesterday wind blew differently
I see my tears also knowing how to cheat
Afraid to cry in the afternoon forgetting everything…
