A Little Love Poem

             A Little Love Poem

                              Fan Jinghua

This is supposed to be a love poem and I start

With this notion only, nothing else in my mind,

Because I am thinking fully about you right now.

How could I write a poem if I do not forget about the world?

Now when you read this and think what I want to say,

Nothing interesting strikes your eyes, not yet.

Do I want you to wait for a surprise? Yes, but how?

But aren’t surprises like sudden engorgement of some organs?

No, love is too delicate. I can only keep writing,

Knowing that you are still with me,

Reading with a little doubt about what may conclude all this,

But I just keep writing to keep you close in these words, dear.

Then, you reach my end, my depth, and find it’s this

Long, and I merely mean: Be with me, to the end.

　　　小情诗一首

         得一忘二

这将会是一首情诗，而我只从这个

想法开始，脑子里并没有想到别的，

因为我此刻正想着你，满脑子地想。

若不忘记世界，怎么能写成一首诗?

你现在读这些字，想着我要说什么，

没看到令你眼睛一亮的话，还没有。

我要你等到一个惊喜吗？也许是的，

可要如何呢？惊喜不就像某个器官

充血？可是，爱太娇柔了，我只能

继续写，知道这样就一直保留着你，

你读着，小小的疑惑是不知道我将

如何结束，继续写就能继续留下你。

然后你来到我的终点、深处，发现

这么长，就是说：和我一起，到底。
