Tanka...Cedar Forest in Spring

深碧の闇を投ずる杉山に春光さして先のきはめむ

cedar forests

casting shadows of dark green

spring light

makes their fine edge

reach the sky

Tanka...Aufheben 止揚 ...a201904

うたかたの煩ひなるとおぼゆるも流れ止揚し難を解くべし

even though

thinking of my worry

as a bubble

I should aufheben the flow

to solve the problem

《让一个吻 不要留痕》 文/田宇 让一个吻 不要留痕， 就像秋天的枫叶， 红透了倒影， 却 寂寞得最深。 绽一束灯， 把爱幻成温存。 结束了漫天的落絮， 唯有空白的书页， 依然可爱 温暖每颗伤心。 似吹动爱的颜色， 在最好的日子， 不是相拥 而是找到归来的感觉。 用蓬勃的胸怀 接受预定的感动， 接受 你的体温。 让一个吻 不要留痕， 就像洁白的樱树， 美丽着美丽， 却 寂寞得最深。 【<Let a Kiss Leave No Traces> Author/Tian Yu Let a kiss leave no trace. Like the maple leaves of autumn, Red and reflective. But the deepest loneliness. Blooming a light, Make love warm. The end of the day's debris, Only blank pages. Still lovely warm every wounded heart. Like the color of love, On the best day, It's not hugging each other, it's finding the feeling of coming back. Accept the scheduled touches with a vigorous mind. Accept your temperature. Let a kiss leave no trace. Like a white cherry tree, Beauty is beautiful. But the deepest loneliness.】

拂霓裳•观丁香结之有题》 文/田宇 作幽深。

自羁花色向云心。

生翠袖，落题无教满香襟。

秋千何处试，钗燕不堪寻。

叹闲沉。客易来、头岁又春阴。 佳人恰似，青结断、独琼簪。

枝碧锁，乱风哀怨弄骚琴。

红楼犹可入，媚蝶欲为侵。

忘啼森。晓昏中、寒盏且平斟。 【<A Poem Written After Appreciating the Beauty of Clove Flowers> Author/Tian Yu Cloves grow in secluded places. They all hide their colors in deep places. Green branches and leaves grow in spring. People can't help wondering how they can't write their fragrance. Where do they swing like girls? Flowers like headdresses are so charming. I lament their freedom. Every time a visitor comes to see them, spring has arrived. They really look like beautiful women. By the time youth passed, only hairpins were left. Now when they were young, The breeze blows like the sound of a piano, a little sad. Now beautiful boudoirs can go in. But butterfly's dream always makes people suddenly wake up. Forget those sad thoughts. Let's talk about wine day and night.】

香山望海有叹》 文/田宇 四表光华生万象，波澜只望复何如？ 云中有限空劳雁，海上无穷不足鱼。 日月为风真可远，乾坤乃气实堪虚。 新人故夜清寒句，未入桑田竟入书。 【<Looking at the Sea in Xiangshan City> Author/Tian Yu The prosperity on all sides makes people feel surging. But what if the endless waves can't be in my hands? As far as I can see, the clouds in the sky are not as high as a goose. Although the sea is endless, it is not as good as swimming fish swimming far. The sun and the moon can be seen as a gust of wind and light farther away. Heaven and earth are just like air. A young man like me wrote poems on an ancient land. I don't want it to be immortal. I just want someone to understand it.】

街灯の灯りは薄く鶸色で溶け込む街に桜の若芽

night fell on the streets..
filled the world with darkness..
light crept through Windows following my senses ...
my heart flew away over the seas 
reached the north land of cold ... but it full of soul's warmness.

I adore the rain
My tongue savors each sweet drop
I'm in bliss today

Tanka ...Higanake 彼岸明け a 201904

各々の選(よ)りし場に発(た)つ彼岸明け一期一会のやさしさに満ち

finishing higan --

each leaves for the place

where each chose

… filled with tender heart

of once-in -a-lifetime chance

※Higan is the equinoctial week in spring and autumn in Japanese.

In this work, it means "Vernal Equinox".

《答友有题》 文/田宇 纵剪幽光同璧月，繁华破艳与流尘。 三尊酒对无知己，一笑萍逢是故人。 寂寞常嗟难过日，芳菲每叹错容身。 当头请趁相停处，落杏违期自看春。 【<Answer a Friend's Question> Author/Tian Yu Even if the quiet moonlight is sheared to the heart, It's just that it's too short to last long. Judging friendship by the amount of alcohol you drink, It's not as emotional as the old knowledge I met in other places. When lonely, people always want to be quiet. Where is the time flowing to our youth? Now that we meet, we don't have to cover up any more. Let's be happy in spring, a season of flowers.】
