Coffee

Bitter coffee, with some sugar, tastes like something
When you have someone missing.
The wind across the Pacific Ocean is suddenly shaking
Aeolian bells at the front door which , of course, is ringing.

Bitter winter is freezing up this white wandering
Deep inside, beautiful feeling is growing.
Who can really tell where it's going
Leave it to the wind far away carrying.

You all are great, thank you!

I am learning to write poetry in English. As a start, I'll translate some poems of mine, as well as some other Chinese poets, into English. Some grammatic mistakes will show up from time to time, please feel free to point them out, that way I will be able to improve.

A peaceful mind leaded by a clear vision
Calmly made a long lasting desicion

Laoha - another lovely write:

The wind across the Pacific Ocean is suddenly shaking

Ohh to just feel that wind again - would be Heaven -
and yes "Bitter coffee, with some sugar, tastes like something
When you have someone missing."
So very true - so very heartfelt - I love your new perspective xxoo

Deep inside, beautiful feeling is growing.
Who can really tell where it's going

I absolutely love this verse.
says so much. Hope that beautiful feeling goes where you want it to.

adding this to my library.
