Saying Good-bye to the New Year Eve
By Rose Lu
Fireworks scorched the night sky
At the saddest moment of the world
You said good-bye and took off once again
You had bestowed me love
But now were gone
Like a gust of wind leaving no trace
One tide
After another
Weeping in songs
That mesmerized the audience
But you had already switched the “ channel ”
One vernal wave
After another
Sighing in front of the screen
The streets were filled with gossips
But you had already turned off the phone
You grabbed my poetic mood
With the hooklike moon
But were as intangible as the moonlight
The rain
Soaked my cuirass
While my skirt
Swayed in the wind
Snow
Froze my scarf
And my dress
In the years with your presence
Collecting all the glories
Intimacy pulling apart
Gaining reproducing losing
The precious pearls
Are hard to gather back
The frosty past
The aged beauty
Only the memory
Is as fresh as the green leaves
Soon we will split
But I really can’t bear
Another parting in another year
