Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance - Carl Sandburg..........Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject - John Keats .........Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge - William Wordsworth ..........Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand - Plato .........No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language - Samuel Taylor Coleridge .........One demands two things of a poem. Firstly, it must be a well-made verbal object that does honor to the language in which it is written. Secondly, it must say something significant about a reality common to us all, but perceived from a unique perspective. What the poet says has never been said before, but, once he has said it, his readers recognize its validity for themselves - W. H. Auden ...........Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash - Leonard Cohen .........There is a pleasure in poetic pains which only poets know - William Cowper .........Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood -T. S. Eliot ..........Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason - Novalis...........He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life - George Sand .........A poem is never finished, only abandoned - Paul Valery ........A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland - Kahlil Gibran.............Poetry should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance - John Keats..........To be a poet is a condition, not a profession - Robert Frost........A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself - E. M. Forster.........Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo - Don Marquis...........Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things - T. S. Eliot ..........You can tear a poem apart to see what makes it tick. You're back with the mystery of having been moved by words. The best craftsmanship always leaves holes and gaps so that something that is not in the poem can creep, crawl, flash or thunder in - Dylan Thomas .........Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words - Paul Engle......... There is not a joy the world can give like that it takes away! Lord Byron

潇潇- 中国

礼拜天

潇潇 - 中国

 

一整天，我像一团焦急的火焰

燃烧又熄灭

从早晨８点到凌晨深夜

失望从疾驰的云端

从空心的线路中被抛撒出来

黑夜又像散布的坏消息经常胜利

 

想起你闪电的激情

一夜之间惊醒了

我请求麻木的四肢和嘴唇

一只暗伤的笨鸟

一不经意就跌进了你的葡萄酒杯中

一直醉到失去知觉

苦难和爱情像谜语的星星

在六月、七月被我喝得干干净净

 

我的目光开始迟钝

命运给我一颗悲哀、疲惫不堪的心

你却更像一个步步紧逼的情人

你狐疑的眼神和猜测的提问

如一把铮亮的银针

从高处刺痛我隐隐呻吟的神经

一只花脚蚊伺机降落在我手背

快乐地咬了一口

这一小口被抛弃的亲吻之地

皮肤以痒痛的方式被感染

一种病毒可怕的产物

犹如耻辱从沉默不语的空气中

推销阴霾季节的霉菌

 

我们隐藏的敌人，难以着磨的细菌

而那一切却记忆犹新

大白天，我们房门紧闭

像一对结盟鸳鸯

在短暂而狂乱的幸福中

我们弯曲的肉体

我们崭新的呼吸

瞧，爱情背负沉重的十字架

没有了力气

犹如病菌拿走了我们纯洁、忙碌

而又混乱不堪的心灵

这意外的敌人

这看不见摸不着的小污点

昨天你躺在谁的腿上

今天你又将热爱谁的不幸

——这恐怖、盘旋的小幽灵

激动地梦见了谁的咽喉

如一枚猥亵、致命的刀片

迫使我在一瞬间

检点命途多舛的一生
