◎ 內容簡介

LOVE AND SURVIVAL

Though not easy to find love

With endurance of the faraway spirit

I come close to finding you in my down time

So lucky and so fortunate

Your appearance is the Heavenly Glory

◎ 內文試閱

〈PREFACE〉

　　This book contains thirty seven poems, and one short film script for screenwriting class when I attended the Graduate School of Filmmaking and TV Production at NYU (written in October 1977, second year first semester), and three term papers for three different classes while I attended the Graduate School of Drama Department at NYU (written from 1975 to 1976 total three semesters).

　　The thirty seven poems were written from 2015 to 2017. All are about Love.

　　Let work speak for itself.

　　No Love, No Peace for human existence.

〈Love and Survival〉

Though not easy to find love

With endurance of the faraway spirit

I come close to finding you in my down time

So lucky and so fortunate

Your appearance is the Heavenly Glory

Surviving from the decadence of soul and body

Nothing is too trivial in the face of love

You said to me that missing is not loving

Missing is only part of loving

For such a note in the rhythm of my unsatisfactory life

I found I am surviving in the fast fading existence

〈MY NEVER FULFILLED DREAM〉

Saturday afternoon in the severe cold windy atmosphere

On the Flushing streets

Looking forward walking to the Garden

With you only one more block away from Franklin street

Abruptly I stopped to say good-bye to you

Oh do not feel surprised by my sudden decision

For it is too unbearable to anticipate the upcoming pain

For the pain coming too fast

Before getting hurt

Good-bye is the only word I can utter
