Forbidden Fruit & Other Poems
by Rose Lu (Bing hua) Tr. East Sea Fairy  
Forbidden Fruit
In the Garden of Eden
A bright blossom
Bears a smiling red fruit
That enables the green leaves around it
To hide their greed
But a wind from afar
Picks that apple without a hitch
And carries away
The floating-off shade of Eve
Leaving behind a faint scent of the forbidden fruit
Lingering on
In the empty Garden    
 
Childhood Friendship
—To Hongzhu, My Friend
To those without close affinity,
Parting means to be parted forever
You and me, having strong appeal to each other
Are fated to meet again to continue our friendship.
When we meet again after an interval of more than twenty years
I see you are still so pure, though suffering a little hair loss.
Others appraise your today
But I can tell what you were when you were a little girl
Who says you are already middle-aged?
That skip before my eyes are clearly
Your childhood smiling face and glow
There are shadows of your childhood
In every of your moves
I can make you return to the childhood you
Even without turning into a fairy to do it.
The brave you once took a pair of scissors
And cut my long braids short
With one stroke.
In those years
We led a sweet life
With empty purses
In those years
We were as charming as lily
Though we couldn’t afford slip dresses.
We used to play under the same clover tree
That was a pure land that refused pollution
We used to sing in the same boat
On a holy water that didn’t tolerate infringement.
The puerility we made
And the junior years we got through together
Typecast both your life and mine.
Your childhood is mine
And mine is yours
It’s true
That mountains may changed into seas
And seas may change into mulberry fields
But the unchangeable is childhood friendship,
It’s the most beautiful broad accent
It’s the origin of life
From there a cluster of white doves
Sets out on a flight toward future.
Midsummer Fallen Leaves
When I drove passing a small street
Today
I saw fallen leaves drifting profusely, like rain
Then I realized, and saw
They were all very sad
Having been used to a lush life
Aloft the green trees
They really don’t want to come down
Outside of my glass window, one after another leaves sweep past
I don’t know why my eyes rain a flood of tears
And in no time at the corners of my mouth something salty and bitter appears
Each leave has to experience up and down
No one is particular enough to shun
Today’s distress is that
They don’t fall in autumn in which they are due to fall
But in the heat of this summer day

       禁果
      《侨报》副刊，2010年3月15日
　　伊甸园里
　　一朵艳丽的花
　　结出了红红的苹果
　　
　　周围的绿叶
　　垂涎欲滴
　　
　　远来的风
　　却顺手摘去了那个苹果
　　也卷走了
　　夏娃远逝的身影
　　
　　留下了丝丝禁果的滋味
　　在空荡荡的园中
　　久久不散 
 
      童年的友爱
     《侨报》副刊，2011年9月29日
　　缘浅的人啊
　　分开就是永远
　　缘深的你与我
　　命定再拥抱再续前缘
　　二十多年再相见
　　秀发略减 清纯依然
　　别人恭维的是你的今天
　　我却能说出你的童年
　　谁说已是人到中年
　　跳跃在眼前的分明是
　　儿时的神采与笑颜
　　举手投足间
　　处处有童年的影子沉淀
　　我不用化作神仙
　　就能把你还原成童孩
　　
　　勇敢的你
　　曾一剪子
　　把我的长辩子剪短
　　那时的我们
　　兜里没有钱
　　日子却过得很甜
　　那时的我们
　　没穿过吊带裙
　　一样美丽如莲
　　曾在同一棵丁香树下嘻闹
　　那是一片净土拒绝污染
　　曾在同一条船上歌唱
　　那是一汪圣水不容侵犯
　　一起酿造的稚嫩
　　共同交织的青涩
　　浇铸了彼此的生命
　　你的童年就是我的童年
　　我的童年也是你的童年
　　真的
　　高山可以变沧海
　　沧海也能变桑田
　　不变的是童年的友爱
　　童年的友爱是最美的乡音
　　那是人生的源头
　　一群洁白的鸽子
　　从那里出发飞向未来
 

盛夏的落叶
今日我开着车
通过一条小街
落叶纷纷扬扬如雨飘落
我读懂了看到了
它们都很难过
过惯了高高在上
绿绿阴阴的生活
真没成想真不愿飘落
片片叶子在玻璃窗外掠过
不知为啥我泪水如梭
顷刻嘴角有了浓密的咸涩
每片叶子都得经历的落
没有特殊的可以躲过
今天的悲哀在于
它们不是落在应落的秋色
而是落在了夏日的炎热
可怜片片叶子的夭折
我送它们一首诗歌
可这首诗歌的收件人
竟然变成了我自个儿
