My Tribute to Chinese Love Poetry...

From the book, 'My Secret Heart', by Samishii Suzume...



...When...

When, a beggar beholds you

He forgets, his need for bread,

When the sorrowful and lonely behold you

They, forget their dread,



When the depressed and forlorn glimps you

Moving like a song,

All misery vanishes instantly

All care and sadness--gone,



When a rider beholds you at dusk

He stops his horse, mid-stride,

He feels as if the rays of a new born Sun

Have struck him in the eyes,



How magnificent you are

A woman, of such true grace and ease,

As refreshing as a waterfall

And yet, as calming,

As,

a living..

breeze...




...Samishii Suzume~...
