UNDER THE PURPLE FLOWERS

UNDER THE PURPLE FLOWERS

“I suddenly remember and miss
I suddenly reminisce about his kiss
My lips bewitched with the old cicadas’ carol...”
(from the song “The First Kiss”)

In the purple flowers’ shade
You kissed me the first kiss.
The moon lit its light of jade;
The cicadas sang their song of bliss.

Then, time passed fast and blind;
You went to your studies above
Leaving the purple flowers behind
With such a dreamlike love.

In each letter sent to the old place
You said you still missed this start
With the purple flowers of grace
And this young and true heart.

I have come back each day alone
To see the old flowers obsess
And hear the cicadas groan;
I feel such a vague distress.

I have nurtured my pastoral love
Now that summer is back to see
With the purple flowers above
I become an amorous banian tree.
