FLOWERY AGE


By Bing Hua (Rose Lu) 


Tr. By Richard Tornello




Youth’s flowering
released  free untethered.
In love, showered her love, to you
with the jewel of her youth and beauty

She worshiped her god
and on a pedestal you were placed.
Love brings sorrow and joy
laughter and tears, she embraced them all
you her god.

Now that infatuation of youth is torn asunder
and reality brings different tears.
Maturity, only then the taste of true tears of love.

All that is past is past
ossified solid  dead is dead
don't bother to seek the past.
There is no need.





花 季


冰花

初春的时节
象放风筝一样
放飞过自己
也曾用玛瑙  水晶
雕塑过你
用钻石  玉珠
镶嵌过你

以至顶的虔诚
将你膜拜  高举
喜怒哀乐
因你而更替

偶像碎啦
绝望的泪水
沐浴出不绝望的自己

过去的一切
凝固在句号里
句号里的究竟
无需再寻觅

If Only I Were the Wind By Bing Hua Translated By Liu Mei 如果我是风 作者 冰花 英译 柳湄 If Only I Were the Wind By Bing Hua Translated By Liu Mei If only I were the wind I would fly to Spring To blow the withered grass green And blow the buds blooming So that I could enjoy my sound sleep in the floral scent If only I were the wind I would fly to the sea To blow the waves dancing trippingly And waken up the morning sunglow So that I could hear the seawater Sing a cappella with the first rays If only I were the wind I would fly and fly To linger on his shoulders If only I were the wind I would blow and blow, Till my tender love dips into his heart It’s simply because He is my Spring My Grand Sea My Future Distance And my Justification How I wish I were The wind

Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose review by Deng Li （邓丽）

Top reviews from the United States KH 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose! Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024 Verified Purchase Bing Hua is one of my favorite Chinese poets. Her poetry is simple yet rich—simple to invite readers to read, yet rich in feelings and images. A good example is the poem "A Hand Fan:" “One side is spring, the other autumn.” Another good one is "Your Leaves and My Water:" “Your leaves / Have fallen into my yard / My water / Has wetted your lawn.” These words draw readers in and explore new realm of experiences. Bing Hua also has a magic way to express love through different seasons. She puts just enough ingredients to make her lines “taste” and “smell” good. Mr. Xu did a very good job to catch the 100 poems’ essences and styles in his translation. I highly recommend this book especially in this season.
