the followings are stuff that i have written during the years, since i got into university, usually when i was in a mood or something, or when some huge events occurred around the world. i guess these stuff can't be known as poems or stuff like that, but they're truly from my heart, they're what i felt at very moment~~~
request (21.02.2003)
in the conference gathered with audiences
sitting, waiting and praying to learn the message of peace
on the stage conquered by comedians
planning, arguing and fighting to redefine the meaning of peace
north korea releases her demand
we need power we need food
give us a break or lend us coal
le us have nuclear or we will quit
bush claims his request
i need glory i need blood
give me oil or grant me permission
let us have war or i will sue
statistics (11.11.2002)
a Tuesday morning
the twin towers collapsed
three buildings being attacked
four planes crashed
five continents stunned and terrified
ten seconds of astonishment flashed
hundreds of miles covered with dust and horror
thousands of unnamed heroes made their sacrifices
ten thousands of innocents got injured or lost their lives
hundred thousands of families lost their beloved
millions of citizens got involved in the rescues
hundred millions of peoples witnessed the attacks
and billions of humans sat down and made their prayers
countless tears shed
countless moaning occurred
countless lives changed
countless souls shadowed
a year of terror gone
a minute of silence passed
a huge empty space in that once most famous twin tower building remained
yet
no one in the universe
male or female
young or old
kind or evil
white or black
alive or dead
can ever forget this very darkened day
never
and here I pray to our lord
that all souls in heaven or on earth
can regain peace in their ways to remake dreams and hopes for the future and for the past
that 11 sept 2001 did not happen in silence or without lessons
a horror movie (13.09.2001)
on 11th sept 2001
Die Hard Terror started to be filmed
suddenly
in a short notice
scenes of plane crushes building collapses fire explosion people’s escapes screams deaths were shot in many different angles
tens of thousands of free-lanced people were involuntarily and unexpectedly called to be cast in it
Die Hard Terror surely was a nation-wide production
Immediately it was inevitable witnessed globally and was echoed unbelievably
The movie became the spark of the world
Promoted by the media day and night
With detailed descriptions reports analysis live shows interviews talk shows
Surely it was under the total spot of light;
Attention drawn prediction made criticism established survey conducted reaction resulted
Yet, it would never be a winning movie for its highly over budget;
Four planes being crashed into nothing especially for the making
Buildings being damaged thousands of lives being wasted and thousands more being injured
Together with that the global economy recessed for it and with the anger and terror arose
The movie became a notorious hit
Sadly speaking, the cost of it was so huge and unbearable that no one was willing to do the aftermath
From being curious, people turned to be discontented and furious
Outraged audiences came out to the street to make their demand of a stop;
“Nonsense and insane!” she cried
“Lives back!” he cried
“Cruse the director!” some mounted
“Damn the producer!” many others moaned
with just one day
the world was united
one single day
the world was terrified
with peace forever disturbed
that night
i had a dream
about myself sitting in front of my TV in my living room watching a horror movie titled
Die Hard Terror
me
screaming trembling crying praying
wishing i was just dreaming
感動了的承諾 (22.05.2002)
那時候的甜言蜜語
那一刻的承諾
帶來了剎那間的感動
縱然
承諾不一定能夠天長地久
甚至變得虛幻
即使
甜言成為謊言
蜜語變得負累
感動
卻不會消逝
是屬於
那一刻的
你和我的感動
真真切切
曾經
有一刻
剎那間的
存在過於我的心裡
幸福 (20.09.2000)
幸福
從來都不是必然
但 有時間
突然其來的幸福
卻 令人吃不消
使人害怕 起來
是沈重的
重得透不到氣
要去躲避
但
這種幸福
卻是人 一直嚮往
不斷 追尋
可能是
適應不來 變得害怕
怕 這一切一切
都不是人所求 所承受到的
或者是
當人醒來時
發覺 原本所有的
只是夢境一場
幸福 你知道嗎?
你 好沈重……
心動 (02.02.2000)
心動
是沒有理由的
那怕只是一廂情願
那怕只是一面之緣
心動
控制不了
即使努力壓止
亦停不下來
明知走不在一起
仍希望
我的心動
能令你的心 動
願望 (22.02.2000)
我有一個願望
當有一天
我將要離開
請不要懷念
只因為我的一切
從不值掛念
願
所有的苦與愁
和我一起離開
剩下的
只是那一張潔白的紙
彷似不曾被誰塗污過
望
讓我從你們的回憶中消失
就如我將在你們人生中消逝
就讓我的離去
變成一切的新開始
我想
這樣會是較幸福吧
09.02.2000
可否慢下來
去仔細聽完要說的話
不要打斷話柄
可否靜下來
去尋回屬於心靈的一把聲音
再次做回自己
可否停下來
去品嚐別人和自己的甜與苦
體會一下生命之理
09.02.2000
人生在世
有時實在太匆忙
沒有一刻的恬靜
使人忘懷了許多 失去了更多
什麼時候
才可以鼓起勇氣
慢下來 停下來
18.11.1999
surrounded
with people
i am alone
Here in this planet
Where i call it home
rain (09.05.1999)
sunday
cloudy day for resting
in peace
somewhere
in between earth and heaven
there is rain
shedding above lonely
pouring below
becomes flood silently
colourless and red mixing up
in dreams
walking searching
for a shelter people
nothing in sight
a desert
sunshine ahead
sparking and hot
like a fire ball
spark lights into eyes
there come three suns
sunday
sunshine gone
rain keeps falling
colourless and red
onto people’s faces
everything is silently
still and
mourning for
three suns
the dream.
love (13.04.1999)
what can love be?
love can be
everything, and
nothing
something, or
anything
or, love can be a verb or a noun
as a verb
love can be active or passive
both ways are proper ways
love needs a subject and an object
in order to make it complete
without either
love is not love
as a noun
love is countless
you can never measure
the deepness of love of
a person in love, or
the different kinds of emotions that
love totally contains
what can love be?
love can be feelings, emotions
passions and sex
love can be a romantic movie
touching everyone’s heart
love can be a poem
showing the elegance and passion
what can love be?
to a married woman, love can be everything
to a heartless man, love can be nothing
to a teenage girl, love can be a dream
to a teenage boy, love can be a joke
to an aged couple, love can be timeless
to an infant, love can be meaningless
what can love be?
i have been trying to find out
the result
i cannot tell
for love has numerous forms
you can never tell in which form
love appears when it approaches you
what can love be?
love can be, just love
love cannot be defined
nor well analyzed
for its universal definition never exists
it means different things to you and me
it has different meanings to me at different stages
what can love be?
i cannot tell.
survivor (02.04.1999)
night
i’m cold
here by myself
alone in the middle
of this peacefully great ocean
after hours of horrifying stormy roaring
ceased
and silent
nothing by whispers
of waves and breath
inhaled and exhaled in silence
heavily with mind thinking nothing but
swim
legs moving
and hands searching
in order to survive
keeping track with those heartbeats
booming showing some signs of living
exist
looking around
nothing but water
and sky so calm
no signs of the swallowing
nor that any other living creatures
nearby
no one
but me survived
alive but bearing forever
the picture of tonight’s ocean
with blissful and unbearable hopes of
survival.
Six o’clock news (30.03.199)
Turn on the TV please!
It’s six o’clock news
Things are as usual
Some robbery cases
Some car crashes
More scandals
More arrests
Oh, there’s a big one!
Look, there’s a war
A war in another side of the world
A world that is so remote from us
That we have nothing to do with it
Then why do we have to care?
Let’s not waste time on it
It has nothing to do with us.
They say it is a war for peace!
Therefore they must fight and die
On behalf of the global peace
Peace? War?
It’s such a brilliant invention
To try to put peace and war together
But it is always a funny myth to me
of how to put them together
still, it is a great invention
shedding blood in order to save some lives
the greatest kindness of humanity.
Listen, they say WE are winning the war!
Looking at those scenes
Using my imagination
On yeah
i can see OUR victory
from the eyes of those heroic soldiers
from the faces of those hopeful refugees
yes, WE are winning the war
wait, it reminds me of something!
Oh, remember that movie we have seen?
That’s right, it’s almost the same
And those actors!
They are the ones should have been given the Oscar rewards
Though i think the bombing thing in that movie is more real
Don’t you think so too?
There’s not even any dead body shown here!
And they call it WAR!
Oh, it’s six twenty already!
Will they story ever end?
Enough for this story
It’s just a war in another side of the world
a world that has nothing to do with us
i want to see the weather report
i just want to make sure, that
tomorrow should be a sunny day for me
i don’t have a life time to sit here and hear about wars
i could have gone to the movies
If i want to see these killings and bombings
It’s nothing but a story
Just turn off the TV please
Enough for this six o’clock news.
30.03.1999
we are living in vanity
and they call it reality
all things are in such insanity
but they say this is humanity
27.02.1999
i have been floating in the sea
i have been searching in the sea
to the east
to the west
to places where no one has conquered
to places where too many people have set a foot in
it’s such a boundless ocean
it’s such a confined ocean
floating around
floating alone
hardly knowing where i am
hardly knowing where to go
suddenly i see a land
suddenly i see my paradise
i have found my hopes
i have found my direction
XXXX
can you see
in that big dark sky
there is a tiny little star?
it is not the biggest
it is not the brightest
yet, it is still a star in the sky
guiding and accompanying you
through the dark period of your life.
XXXX
You’re here
Right in front of me
It’s you
i can see with my eyes
we’re so close
yet, we’re so far away
there’s no one in your eyes
its’ just me
it’s just me standing in front of you
i’m here…
XXXX
today’s sorrow may become tomorrow’s joy
tears shed today may help clear the road ahead
XXXX
underneath the same big sky
there are millions of ‘you’ and ‘me’
yet, in this giant circle
this ‘you’ and this ‘me’
happen to have found each other
and entered a friendship
that may last for a life time
