    Cave


    Cave


    Hands heavy,
    I search for a cure
    in the darkness of the cave
    inside the scar of a child
    who never played.

    Conduits of confusion
    cannot extinguish
    this shimmering light,
    giving me courage
    to feel my fingers through
    this suffocating carpet
    of suffering.

    What is called faith
    is the adamantine conviction
    that at the end of this durgeon,
    a door opens to a mirror,
    wherein the whole existence
    is illuminated.

    Improvision in sleep



    Improvision in sleep


    We are treading the line
    on the sidewalk
    of a street separating
    day and night.

    In the quivering candle light,
    fingers in darkness
    stroked through
    landscape in the mist
    that covered
    pulsation of your waking life.

    Clouds of impermanence
    pressing on, reminding us
    that all these
    could be a flashback
    of a forgotten time,
    in a single blink of
    our weary eyes.

    May this instant,
    may this instant last
    till my tears run dry?
    you cried.

    I hushed.
    For what else could eternity be,
    than the unison of our souls
    over the rising and ebbing
    of this moonlit evening tide?

    Margarita


    Margarita


    Margarita Margarita,
    tear drops are on your petals,
    blinking
    in the misty sunshine
    of the reincarnating spring.

    Where comes the grief
    that trembles in
    the fragile stems,
    barely withstanding
    turmoils of the frosty wind?

    What is this emptiness
    possessing the heart of your blossoming limbs?
    What is this yearning
    streaming through
    iris of melancholic green?

    Margarita Margarita
    do not weep;
    for if you cry because you miss the sunrise' glory
    you will also miss
    the melody of the hymning rain.

    蜘蛛


    蜘蛛


    优雅的细腿
    却长满了忧郁的绒毛。
    乌黑透亮的眼眸中
    浮动着孤独的仇怨。

    血红的背脊上
    刻印着岁月的伤。
    心如死灰的寡妇
    编织着漫漫的死亡之网。

    颤颤巍巍的我
    问你能否松开我的绑
    让我尝尝久违的阳光?

    冷笑的你
    却把毒牙扎入我的脊梁。
    灵魂的抽搐
    提醒我被束缚的宿命
    无处可藏。

    何时,何时
    何时能让我
    逃出囹圄?

    那时
    我宁愿
    把这腐朽的肢体
    化成清晨雏菊花瓣上的泪光。

    Just when I thought



    Just when I thought I was free
    you returned
    without any warning
    so formidable are your breaths
    pressing me down on my knees

    Just when I thought I could be
    without your maternal tyranny
    shrieking cries pierced
    all pillars of my temples
    each cold glance
    penetrated my sensibility

    Just when I thought I could leave
    you threw me a fierce slap
    and reminded me with a scream:
    look, here are your chains!

    Just when I thought
    that
    I could live

    live?
    you think?
    for life might as well be
    these oppressing dreams
    that never cease.

    Free me
    free me
    free me

    蝶,之二




    之二

    鬱金香,鬱金香,
    你何時綻放?
    淡藍的花蕾中
    孕育著哪种顔色的渴望?

    鬱金香,鬱金香,
    你爲何彷徨?
    早春的餘寒
    是否仍舊難以抵擋?

    鬱金香,鬱金香,
    我得繼續流浪
    否則,二月的殘雪
    將會凍僵我的翅膀。

    鬱金香,鬱金香,
    不要悲傷;
    隨我輕唱:
    春氣長發的那天,
    我與你
    迎著暖風
    在燦爛的陽光下
    舞動彩虹般的夢想。

    Butterfly
    II

    Tulip tulip,
    when will you blossom?
    Delicate bud in light sleep
    what kind of affection is it concealing?

    Tulip tulip
    why are you hesitating?
    Is it the memory of winter
    flooded your heart that is awakening?

    Tulip tulip
    I have to leave.
    The snow of early March
    will otherwise freeze my fragile wings.

    Tulip tulip
    do not grieve.
    Sing with me:
    at the height of spring
    you and me
    against the soothing breeze
    facing the smiling sunshine
    dancing,
    petals and wings;
    the continuation of
    our rainbow-coloured dreams.

    混沌外殼裏
    依然柔弱的你
    追問明天
    有否穿透濃霧的陽光。

    新鮮的肢體内
    萃聚著誕生的渴望。
    抽動的背脊中
    孕育著飛升的力量。

    破蛹而出之時,
    北方夜空
    將有三顆明星
    點亮你的翅膀。

    Butterfly

    Through that opaque membrane
    I hear your questioning:
    tomorrow will there be
    fervent sunshine penetrating this mist?
    When comes the bliss,
    the bitter-sweetness of liberty?

    Be resolved.
    I say.

    In your elegant limbs
    yearnings for rebirth is consolidating.
    Along your contracting spine
    immense power of ascension is awakening.

    The hour of elation is near.
    I say.

    The moment this chrysalis breaks,
    in the northern heaven
    three shining stars
    shall illuminate your newborn wings!

    Le menuet


    Le menuet


    For Zdeňka


    Your eyes are transparent;
    yet the world is full of mist.
    Your hairs are strings
    from a harp of an ancient myth.
    On the delicate fingertips,
    nocturne of liberation sings.

    Hesitating with each tiptoed beat,
    for the first time,
    you dance with the minuet
    that I composed with my calm breaths.
    Colourful notes skid
    along the edges of your eyebrows,
    till the deepness of silence intervenes.

    May we keep on dancing,
    till we heal our broken dreams.

    是故,空中無色,無受、想、行、識;
    無眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意;
    無色、聲、香、味、觸、法;
    無眼界,乃至無意識界;
    無無明亦無無明盡,
    乃至無老死亦無老死盡;
    無苦、集、滅、道;
    無智,亦無得

    夢吟

    寒夢獨游心湖碧,
    問佛岸邊身何尋?
    白玉塔旁重山麓,
    蓬頭閑坐便是你!
    渡水恰逢法會祭,
    釋迦頭蓬衣如乞。
    會心一笑乘風去,
    耳旁尚殘般若語。

    Oedipus' Dilemma


    Wie kann man die Frage Sphinx beantworten, wenn sie zufragen ablehnt? Ohne die richtige Antwort darf man weder weitergehen, noch zur Freiheit hinaufsteigen. Denn es liegt daneben noch den Orthus, der Höllenhund, der Knecht von Sphinx, der den Ausgang überwacht. Er ist stets bereit, den unschuldige, unwissende Reisender zu attackieren.

    So ist Ödipus Dilemma. Obgleich er schon die Antwort laut kennt: "Ja, das wäre dann der Mensch!", ist er zutiefst verstricken.

    Denn was am schrecklichsten ist, ist nicht der Kuss Sphinx, sondern ihr Schweigen...

    Subversive structure of Love


    *Curtain up*

    (Man and woman. The two are separated by a mutant sculpture composed of eyes, ears, tongues,nose, fingers and a purple tree form, representing the six senses. Both facing the audience,sitting; dim lighting on both. The man is wearing a outfit half black, half white, with a red hat. The woman is curled up, naked.)

    -- (man, loud, assertive) Do you understand what I'm saying?
    -- (woman, meek, insecure) ......more or less......

    -- Are you sure?
    -- Yes, I understand what you mean.......

    -- I'm talking about the subversive structure of love, an oscillation between Eros and Thanatos.
    -- ......I hear all your words and sentences, but they hardly make any sense together.

    -- My participation in this relationship is the results of the war between those two principles. It's a duet between the light and the dark, body and mind, creation and destruction. I could either bring myself in and flood you with affection and warmth; or I could also pull myself out any time and observe your sufferings in a cold indifference.
    -- ......You lost me somewhere, mon cheri.

    -- It is the term in our contract I am delivering. If you jump into this thing, you will suffer without knowing when and why. I shall play dice with my devil to decide who gets the wheel. Since I have the absolute power, I will therefore become absolute corrupt. You shall then have the illusion of happiness, the reality of loneliness and pain.
    -- ......But I like it when you are around.

    -- I am no liar in words, but in actions. It's a theatre play, and I am a good actor. I can take any role I want and everything feels real. For "all world is a stage; all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances.
    And one man in his time plays many parts."
    (pause)
    You shall feel the illusion of real love when I enter. But you will be torn apart when I exit.
    (pause)
    It is not only you who cannot distinguish the play from reality. I will also forget that I am just playing, while I am at it.
    -- ......No matter what you say, I want to be with you.

    -- Is that your decision?
    -- ......sort of.

    -- (stands up, aggressive) No, it's not, the decision is mine! You don't know yourself enough to make a decision.
    -- (passive)......perhaps.

    -- Should I then make the decision for you? To cut it away?
    -- (anxious) No!

    -- That's dumb.
    -- ......let it be dumb. I know I will get hurt. But if one is afraid of pain, she will never go into a relationship. With or without you, it is painful for me. So I choose the "with".

    -- That's even dumber.
    -- ......whatever you say, I'm staying.

    -- You will be abused.
    -- ......you will not abuse me.

    -- You will see. You have been warned.
    -- I have been warned

    -- now then.
    (longer pause)
    I love you
    -- (immediately) I love you too.

    (long-lasting silence)

    (lights off)
    *Curtain down*
    *End*

    Fountain of doubts


    Doubts


    One day
    the fountain of youth may just run dry.
    what desperation!

    You offered me your body and mind,
    you naiveté and your smile.
    I shall carry your love and you
    so heavy is conscience that I bow.

    From your delicate finger tips
    my child,
    awakened my ancient desires,
    being your lover, your guide
    your father, your king.

    As I shall now pronounce the word,
    how anxious I am!
    For what if the fountain of life runs dry?
    What if I again fall trapped?
    And what if the Creator dies?

    On that day,
    when the fountain of wisdom runs dry,
    I shall paint my heaven with despair,
    and tear the canvas into pieces.
    Sunshine breaks in,
    through the bleeding chasm
    between two lonesome souls.

    Hotel Anima


    Hotel Anima

    for Barbara

    This cosy room of hotel anima
    solaced melancholy of my lonesome heart.
    Blue windows of your soul
    inspire new paths to unfold.

    Brunette curtains absorbed my past
    four-leaf clover as Mandala.
    Lavender fragrance of intimacy
    flourished in trust and certainty.

    But I must leave your part
    for my journey is still long way up.
    The ridge of great transition
    must be overcome without hesitation.

    So I bid farewell to hotel anima.
    And disappeared in La Montaña del alma.
