那一晚

文/李華 Leanne Li

夜幕遲遲不肯降臨

Myers Walk 人跡罕至

遠處納涼的蜻蜓屏住呼吸

任憑鴛鴦在餘暉交錯的河心嬉戲

 

那一晚

我的湖心膨脹決堤

船兒被湧動的淚珠擠出了港灣

Myers Walk 密鎖起周遭商業大樓喧囂的愁

風使勁攪動著浸入河邊的柳枝

藍天和白雲相擁

你的手牽起了我的手

 

那一晚

海鷗煽動著翅膀 在綿延的河道打轉

如同遠處隱匿的孩童

偶爾窺視到了伊甸園裡

你深情撫弄的我的發絲纏住了您的袖扣

而戲謔地笑

 

那一晚

風兒不停的親吻著空氣

如同您的唇觸碰到我的唇

漣漪四起 圈圈蕩漾

您聽著我的詩指點江山

我心靈的琴弦

禁不住在您的笑語裡奏嚮

 

那一晚

夜幕遲遲依然沒有來臨

我伸開雙臂

閉上雙眼

任您帶我飛上藍天

一睹宇宙迷人的風景

 

那一晚

遠處的煙花滑進夜空

在希望的藍天升騰到了頂點

我拿起筆在您的林子裡

畫起一架鋼琴

88個鍵都寫滿您的名字


That evening

Leanne Li

 

That evening

The darkness had not yet fallen, yet darkness was upon us

Myers Walk was an unbeaten track

The anchored boats held their breath

Letting the love birds swing wildly over the Thames

 

That evening

The boat swept out of the harbour on a surge of tears

Myers Walk locked up the

hustle and bustle of thoughts from

the surrounding commercial buildings

The wind stirred the willow branches

dipped in the river

Blue sky and white clouds embraced

Your hand held up my hand

 

That evening

Seagulls twitched their wings and spun in the stretch of the Thames

Like the hidden children far away

Occasionally peeping into the Garden of Eden

Spotting and laughing

My hair wrapped around your cufflink

because of your fondling with deep feeling

 

That evening

The wind kept on kissing the air

As your lip touched my lip gently

The waves left faint water ripples in my heart

Wreaths swept away.

Listening to my poems

Making comments on current affairs

The strings of my heart

playing in your charming smile

 

That evening

The darkness still had not come

Reaching out arms

Closing eyes

Let our hearts dissolve together in Myers Walk

 

That evening

Fireworks faraway slid into the night sky

The blue sky of hope rose to the top

I picked up a pen

Drew a piano in your woods

All 88 keys filled with your name
