Bonsai of Thoughts (Translated)

Bonsai of Thoughts: One Hundred Eighty

1. Looking at my name and address,
it's easy
to form misconceptions about me!

2. Excessively good people
are sometimes excessively tiresome.

3. The one who breaks my silence,
I awaken in the infinite.

4. It begins with the heart's urgency,
moves forward to the lips' urgency,
ends with the body's urgency.

5. A kiss—
does it happen only lip to lip?

6. When I measure night with my eyelids,
that's when our eyes meet.

7. Your womb-born fire
burns to ash every moment
the timid moonlight.

8. In the pyre's flames fly the ashes
not of the young girl, but of her dreams.

9. I mend other people's hearts.
I search for someone to mend my own.

10. You came...
as if the moon came in shadow's flesh!

11. Sometimes I feel like
gathering all my courage
to listen to my heart's voice
one last time!

12. Everything is fine,
only the bond is shaky!

13. Look at the sky quietly,
roam there, play... whatever you wish;
just keep the sky safe!

14. In your greed to reach out and touch,
did you end up breaking the person?

15. In sunset's dust I leave behind my sins,
in sunrise's wounds
only curses accumulate...

16. When pen kisses page,
that's when I celebrate!

17. Termites drown in love
with all those poetry books
written to make women fall in love.

18. Touch the eyes... clouds!
Touch the body... rain!

19. Twilight stands at the door,
the lamp caught in evening's breeze!

20. Ah! In the moon's weeping
even the Milky Way breaks!
