Poetry a blend of vulnerability and power. Capturing feelings through lyrical language and poigant imagery~
Perfect blend of earnest duty of scholar, sharp eyes of general, dragon tears, phoenix yearnings, qilin's healing essence and nature's embrac...
To meet you; was it destiny or serendipity? From the peak of serenity to summit of life and death, A lover of letters, lives thousands tales of lives We share a constellation of existence.
Like autumn water rushing by, hearts swiftly understand Cool as cucumber in the summer, warm as winter's wine Who buys wine with earnings from selling poetry? A literati's home is literature; I await you there, To drink the wine of immortality.
We created a universe of our own, a path to immortality Precious ruby, spiritual jade ornaments, Only the Moon witnesses our symphony.
Broke a willow branch for each other,** Prayed to the deities for protection and prosperity, "To ascend is human, to descend is also human" For you and I, a world of rivers, mountains, Life, death, immortals, ghost, heavenly emperors, dragons, poor scholars, celestial wonders to share.
Who was the one who consoled me and everyone? As sacred as the blue moon, you drape me in moonlight Adversity, a river, wade through waters in a jade boat The bamboo and wind chimes dispelling misfortune Writing this verse to you is akin to seeing me, "With heaven official's blessings, May all taboos be shattered"
A literati's home is literature; With the brightest smile, I await you there, To drink the wine of immortality.

[ Poet's note: ]
*The term jianghu, literally means rivers and lake, is linked to cultures other than those pertaining to martial arts in wuxia stories.
**To break a Willow's Branch is a traditional way of saying goodbye for a long journey. Thin willow branch is symbol of the fragile feelings and reluctance to be separated from loved ones
