Three Poems About Love by Li Sing Wan
-----------------------------------------------------
She Is No More.
Between lost memories and newspaper headlines
Between the wars, the victories, and the defeats of history
Between cries of weeping and the sirens
Between elections and disasters
Through all these years we forgotโuntil it was already too late
She is no more and will not return
There will be no letter and no phone call
Not even a keepsake remains of her
She is no more and will not return
She was the first and the last
Love is no longer in our world
We remember when she appeared and when she vanished
She wasโand is no moreโand will not return
No pleas or tears will help, nor threats or manipulations
She took her blessing and leftโto another place, to someone else
And here hatred and anger whisper, scheming in the corner
And here sorrow and despair gather at our door
And all is in vainโwhat was lost cannot be restored
Time will not return, and love is gone
And all that remains is to wander like a ghost
Within the walls of our home and through empty streets
Searching in vain for traces and fragments of memory
She is no moreโlove is no moreโand will not return
And the sun sets upon us
And at night we cry quietly
In the darkness, unseen by anyone
The world has changed beyond recognition
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty years and more
And there is no meaning, no remedy
So play old, sad music
And weep through songs for the love that is gone
So that you will know
How much you regret and long
How much you loved her and did not dare to tell her
How much you needed herโand she is gone
Write her love poems
Fill your drawer and the walls of your heart with poems of love
With poems of longing for her
And dedicate the rest of your life to the memory of the love that is gone
Write by day and by night, when lying down and when rising
And pray for love in the world
---------------------------------------------------------------
I Could Have Been.
I could have been
Many things
But I did not know how to choose
I could have loved
Many people
But I did not know how to love
Then fate came
And said, โI will decide for youโฆ
You will be a poetโฆ
And in sorrow you will give birth to your poemsโฆ
And you will love against your willโฆ
But love will break your heart again and againโฆโ
And so it was
I could have been
I could have loved
Now I am a slave to my fate
The gate has closed upon me
And I wait
------------------------------------------------------------------
See You in Heaven.
He smiled at me and said, โWe will meet in heavenโ
Then he boarded a plane with a one-way ticket
And disappeared somewhere
No letter, no email
No phone call, no text message
Not a single wordโcomplete silence
And I wait here, growing old
In a world that is becoming a hell on earth
Hoping that one day I will meet him
After allโpromises should be kept, shouldnโt they?
