Endless River

Cliff Lijuan

The sea collected another me

You put your heart on an island

Block the shipping lanes of all rescue

A long silence, at the end of which was the Dead Sea

Missing, is it a noun or a verb

My inspiration has no direction

Drowning poems, bitterness and so on returning eyes salvaged

None of them are crocodiles and they can't swim ashore

Seaweed wrapped around the oars, and the love boat collapsed

The axe of life splits a deep strait

The claustrophobic silent heart has since been afraid of the waves

——————————————————

Poetry floating in the sea

A poem, floating in the sea

Hope you find it

The eye jumped over the bovo of the title and read straight down

"I loved it when I was young, but I didn't know..."

This sentence looms

The sound of the waves of the sea drowned it out

Please pause to imagine

This woman who once loved you deeply

When writing poems, frown, whisper, sigh

Tearful look

Please listen carefully

Murmuring in the sound of the waves

Her heart was turbulent

Helpless restraint, like a reef

The detritus of youth are blown away by the sea breeze

Perhaps, a few lines of poetry, long and short

It's already her life

If love has a source

Trace the source and see it

The passion of youth

Sparkling

Face the endless flow of water alone

Loneliness pats the reef

The pure sky, the blue of despair

Let the thoughts double down

You, close at hand, are far away at the end of the world

A thousand sails pull wordless love

Eighty thousand miles of breeze

Blowing can't be dispersed, and the mist of affection is incomprehensible

Like an amnesiac seabird flying in the rivers and lakes

Waiting, near eternity

Always at night when you have insomnia

Gather tears and poems and sing for your affection

Stretching through this life, like an endless river

stranding

When I was young, I used to fantasize

The body and mind are devoted to loving someone as if they were

Write a poem carefully

Write, write

People to middle age

The love in my heart is lost

Words that have lost their souls

Together with the poetry of rafting love

Because of despair, at the same time

———————————————————

Sea Dream

I dreamed of a sea

The sun poured freely on the beach

White sand grains are blown together or separated by the sea breeze

In the sun, palms, spread out and closed

Hold a handful of sand and whizz cool

Slide through the palm of your hand

The end of the sea

The dream is dimmed with a blue aperture

A crystal teardrop

Dance alone on your eyelashes

Slowly, slowly

Raindrops that rotate into the sun

Dizziness and pain

Get lost

Sit in front of the window and practice rhetorical comparisons

I don't know how to phrase it

She was lost

Overlapping imagery, chaotic rhythms

Let her go, trance-like, panicked

It's like love suddenly comes

Line after line of text, staggered

It is a cry of heartfelt words

It's also a trick

Thereafter, on every gloomy day

Her poems would be in the form of rain

Wet him

Swim across

The wind comes from different directions

Rain, panic drifting

Ferry port in the past life

The river rushes with the sediment of destiny

Time is the wand

Swim across you

I stayed on the shore alone

Across the clouds, a distance of 108,000 miles

Like a stone of hopelessness

Looking forward to infinity

The Boat of Feelings

At the speed of the wind

Catch up with time

The night took away the confession

Scrutinize your thoughts

This moment is all beautiful imagery

Elope in disguise

Both pain and pain are in the text

The night took away

All confessions

silent

Than night

More impressive

despair

These days

Sleepless nights

WeChat is full

Unforgettable thoughts

Long and short sentences

Like a beautiful elf

Play a melody in the night sky

Inspiration dances

Construct words and sentences

All the past

ultimately

Write it into poetry

In the poem

We are deeply in love

In reality

We had no choice but to part ways

Winter wind

I know the wind this winter

Stubborn, stubborn, its fingers

Tuck your messy hair into your hat

Heating. The eyes under the brim of the cap are patrolling

There is no praise for its willfulness

The wind pulled the trees closer and farther apart

Fallen leaves dance in its song

Turn into pieces of fine scraps of paper

And it flies into the earth brown butterfly

At every fork in the road

The wind stood in the unknown, trembling

At the moment, drifting in the shoes

The feet began to recognize each other on the way home

It touched the heart of lamentation

In the flow of people returning home

A cracking sound echoed
