Tick-tock, pendulum

When will it be my turn

One day, pendulum

Finally you will return

Waiting for so long

And singing that same old song

Waiting patiently

For when you’ll come back to me

Holding on to what you said

And the things you gave to me

An umbrella and so much pain

« If you can’t live, live for me »

Holding tight the umbrella

Drip-drop, rain is falling

A forest, a red sedan

A beautiful bride sitting

800 years, pendulum

That’s how long I’ve been searching

But I’m sure pendulum

It has been worth waiting

[tgcfpoetry]

During those 800 years

Following the wind

Wandering

In the forest

Searching

Who am I, but who I was before

Who was I, I can’t tell anymore

A young prince, a kingdom

A failure, a disaster

Busking, collecting scraps

Staying alive for now

Living day after day

Even I wonder why

Maybe to find a purpose

Maybe to punish myself

The leaves are falling, it is fall

Then maybe start again

San Lang

Light autumn breeze

Ox cart through maple leaves

A red stranger

Our first encounter

He was the third son

Because he had a family

It meant he was loved

Even wanted, maybe

Young and joyous

Smart, mischievous

But he had good manners

Rich but humble

The son of a noble

Nothing like Hong Hong er

Tall and fair

White jade skin

Long black hair

His complexion pristine

Crafted for you

Carved skillfully

Butterfly made anew

A perfect devotee

To keep you near

As to not scare you away

It was my biggest fear

That you would leave one stay

When you’d see all of my flaws

Missing an eye, scary demon

How could you like someone so low

And not despise this horrible person

It took time to create

Hone every detail

Couldn’t afford to fail

This gentle twist of fate

Now the ox cart stopped

And we reached our destination

It’s already more than I hoped

Better than my wildest ambition

Somehow you weren’t scared

Even wanted to see more

And how could I refuse

When you’re the one I long for

But not right now, I’m not prepared

The sun was down, sunset hues

I looked back to sneak a glance

Though I don’t want to ruin my chance

I think you deserve honesty

Maybe somehow you’ll accept me

[tgcfpoetry]

(Translation : you know what I mean)

Just realized my writing method might not be the best, I have literally no idea what I wanted to do here

Devotion

A flame on the shore

White cultivator

I wonder little flame

What holds you in this world

A pair of gentle arms

And a quiet whisper

Umbrella in the rain

A chance encounter

The white-clad man nodded

And asked the small fire

Then tell me little one

What do you desire

To protect the loved one

Or to be loved one day

To return what I got

To give what’s been given

And for you, Your Highness

Death is a simple deed

You only have to ask

I will do anything

A sad smile on his face

The cultivator said

I’m sorry little one

But forget this nonsense

Don’t believe in the prince

Who no longer exists

Deserted by his friends

Powerless and stupid

The flame had more to say

But scared to cross the line

Watched as the white man stood

Vanished into the night

Not enough power yet

But willing to progress

Believe me Your Highness,

For I will not forget

[tgcfpoetry]

Hong er

It was a child

But not many cared

Under the bandage

Deep scars on his face

Still it was a child

Not older than ten

Fragile heart hidden

By hatred and pain

Now there was the child

Falling to his death

Until arms caught him

Said he’ll be ok

Even now a child

Though so much older

Seeking for those arms

A home to return

[tgcfpoetry]

Reunion

While you’re gone

I’ll plant a flower

White ambrosia

I’ll create a path

Easy to follow

Snow has melted

But I’m still waiting

I promised I would

Searching for your face

In the sunset hues

While you’re gone

I’ll plant a tree

Tall and strong

I’ll build us a home

Where you’ll be welcomed

Lanterns in the night

I sigh at the sky

The day we met

I did not notice

Now it’s so easy

An embrace, a kiss

[tgcfpoetry]

The ring

Ashes ashes

Around your neck

It’s your choice

It’s an old custom

Dangerous devotion

Wishing to stay

Willing to die

For I shall not exist

If you don’t want me to

[tgcfpoetry]

Wu Ming

Lonely flower

Waiting to be picked

Please come back one day

Beautiful flower

While I’m still waiting

Has withered away

Red were the petals

No tear drop left

I’m glad we could meet

Though you’ve gone away

Dark clouds, black sword

You looked back to me,

who is still so weak

I begged you to stay

Crimson red flower

I’ve not forgotten

Under the lanterns

I’ll find you again

[tgcfpoetry]

Mu Qing

A grudge

Jealousy

It’s always easy to you

Darling of Heaven

Or son of peasant

After all is said

Not so different

Grudge or envy

Still not sure

To catch up to you

Or walk beside you

From your pedestal

How could you notice

Great general

Or scrap collector

After all is done

Still there’s resentment

On that bridge

But it’s different

You offered your hand

It took an instant

I admired you

Since the first moment
