After China

 

When I look into your eyes

I see China, the gardens there

A history of rain-blue silken raiment

 

That reaches through behind waterfalls

There is water dropping in your laughter

Some would seek to mate with you

 

But I must follow where the snow whispers

Where the rain calls me like how

The temple rings, why does the temple bell ring?

 

When I look into your eyes

I feel the haunt of streaking moonlight

Love songs from strangled forests

 

Bamboo swaying in the wind

Your lips are tucked inside a window

From another planet's terrestrial view

 

A history of the evolution of a species

Neatly summarized, maybe it is not my own.

Another "I wish I had a love like this" moment. The italicized lines are fantastic... the imagery is exceptional.
