Homecoming

Eyes cast to leeward piping drink in hand, When arctic rains cut in the deep of night, Thoughts rolling homeward to loved ones on land, The arc of her smile warm beige candlelight.

When deafened by the howling northwest wind, When freezing fog steals all fair stars from sight, The lilt of her laugh harmonies do find.

Her dark eyes glint celestial and bright.

To toil that knows no night or day farewell, Poseidon’s tricks and fickle skies adieu, Though now there be some mermaids tales to tell, Old wanderlust lies sated under yew.

In dawn breaks chill she watches from on high, Our ship appears and tears fall from the skies!

回家 （十四行诗）

瞭望背风面手捧着一杯热饮

黑夜里当北极雨刺骨的时候

对陆地上佳人的思念随浪远行

暖暖的米色烛光里她微笑的弧度

当震耳欲聋的西北风狂吼

当寒冷的大雾遮住天上的星星

她迷人的笑声能找到和声

她深邃的眼眸若天体般的璀璨

不知昼夜的劳苦命再见

海王的诡计、善变的天再会

虽然现在有美人鱼的故事可讲

可是餍足了的旅行癖身葬紫衫树之下

冰冷的黎明里她站在高处瞭望着

我们的船出现在天际而上苍喜极而泣！
