The Journey to the West

Though we journey to the West We pray to the East More or less that's the way Each day begins and ends It’s a tale everyone ...

The Willow (by Li Shang Yin)


Brought to life by spring
Without limit
Your branches tremble
Without cease

As daylight breaks
I’d pay a pretty penny
To hear whatever words you
Would choose to speak

But your only answer
Is to continue dancing
While inside flutters a
Butterfly’s wing
And an oriole sings
For a taste of your
Sweet nectar


Even an empire falls
Short of the grandeur
With which your
Lithe body speaks
Though a shrug of the brow
Is your meager  reward







動春何限葉
撼曉幾多枝

解有相思否
應無不舞時

絮飛藏皓蝶
帶弱露黃鸝

傾國宜通體
-->
誰來獨賞眉
