The Red Flag Princess

The Red Flag Princess

Laijon Liu 20240330

you are the bad coming, you thirteenth child

you green eye redhead frightens your old man

you come on a bad start, all the way to a sad end

your whole existence is a bloody mistake

you the weak gender in the pride

makes your household scatter into the wild

the things you touch all breaks

and prayers you say works like curses

so you give up on your miracle and magics

and let your silence be judged

the world has wronged you, you endure

the one fell head over heel for you wants you burnt

maybe that flock of crows constantly over you will transform

they may swoop down and carry you back to where you belong.

The Hand with the Knife

 

The Hand with the Knife

your hands made to tickle and cuddle

thru time will heal the old opening wound

your hands tuck her under a warm blanket

give her sweet dreams and a safe harbor

your hands stretch out, embrace tight

your hands push her out to the barren field

her bony arms, tiny hands, pitied by an elf

her image of your past exact you resent

the heath you dwell on offers nothing but decays

and you wish it burns til it no longer exists

the feud she suffers and she must endure

it cuts thru anything with miraculous power

what rends your heart, severed her blessed arm

her fragile figure wanders off, lost in the wasteland.

You Poor Little Thing – The Stolen Pennies

 

You Poor Little Thing – The Stolen Pennies

Laijon Liu 200240316

Two pennies for the poor you pinch tightly

yummy flavor of biscuit savors on your tongue

that secret guilt you bury in the ground

makes you toss and turn on your death bed

you’ve been a good boy, mommy’s angel

you’ve done all your chores all your life

but for that little pleasure you are judged

your sin you do not forgive in your grave

fallen thru the crack of heaven, falling

and stuck in a hole, peeping thru the eye of needle

your mind fixated on two rusty coins

you kneel down and rummage, to salvage

poor, guilt, pleasures, and secrets

clock chimes on our mind, thru lost we are found.

The Nightingale and the Blind Worm

 

The Nightingale and the Blind Worm

Laijon Liu 20240310

I sing of love that makes a blind see

Oh, sweet melody soothes your pain

sing of the night of dreams of splendor

thru the winter and embraces the spring

love is trust makes your world complete

and the vision of your faith you kindly give

the notes dangling in the wind and rain

harmony longs for your lover and love nest

higher and higher in the heart-shaped leaves

rise and fall between the branches and scales

love is blind, love is kind, love you must find

you would give the world or hell-bent on revenge

enchanting voice, melting, piercing and renders

rondo in the Summer’s day; solo of the Bright star.

Note:

The nightingale and the blind worm are a couple. The blind worm obviously loves and adores the night singer whole-heartily for her songs and her singing talent. I wonder her song must be so beautiful to make listener to die for to give everything. It’s a love, betrayal and revenge seeking short tale.
