Wandering Through the Endless Night 在漫漫长夜里流浪
Drifting through the gloom of autumn and winter,Veering off from the swallows’ visits,Imprisoned on an island of fatigue,Enslaved by the rush of schedules,And fed up with the hustle of life.At last, I seize a night dark and windy,Draped in a cloak of deepest black.Tonight, I have a face unknown. With a five-pound note in my…

No title 无题
Gazing at the reflections on the window glass from afar,I suddenly wish it were a street market in the sky.Above a shallow river of starsWalk people, talking and laughing. The next time I look up,I hope to carry a lantern made of shooting stars,So I can travel through the vast, boundless universe,Passing through a night…

London’s fire alarm tonight 伦敦今夜的火警
It’s time to seek out some surprises,To suddenly awaken in the night,Like a passerby in a dreamWho in an instant traverses a thousand years. It’s time to seek out some surprises,To let lights spark when least expected.Disordered footsteps, the whooshing cold wind,Mark’s London’s fire alarm tonight. 8 January 2022 in London. Writing during a fire…

No title 无题
The same moonlight, the same starlight.The same loneliness, the same sorrow.The sky is so bright tonight,Because I have hung the world on the wall. 4 January 2022 in London 无题 一样的月色，一样的星光。一样的寂寞，一样的忧伤。今晚夜空如此明亮，因为我把世界挂在了墙上。 2022年1月4日于伦敦

Possessing the moment 拥有此时
Evening breeze,can no longer brighten the moonlight.Passerby,Still quietly savour their sweetness and sorrows.In their confusion,They own this moment.But who endures for them,The silence and unnoticed pride? Beneath the quiet night skyare the quiet bedroom and windowpossessing the moment.There is no moon tonightso I write a poem and wait on behalf of the worldfor tomorrow’s reply,Speaking…

Summer Night 夏夜
All beauty of the breeze gathers here,All coincidences solidify here.Lilies and cicadas,Through the roots of the banyan tree,Share tales under the moonlight. I long to return to the summer night,To admire the ground scattered with starlight,The corners where rain has passed,Hide a willing heart,Reflecting elegance and a quiet desire. The buzzling by my ear,Isn’t it…

Dream of the Night 黑夜幻想
You know the colour of night; I do not.Born in the dark, yet sinking in twilight,I wander the void of this world,Venturing into the realms of phantoms. On this meticulously crafted night,I partition the world with a red curtain.When I fall silent,Wild beasts come here to explore,Seeking imaginations within the flames. Dawn breaks, and only…

No title 无题
Sometimes I feel this contradiction:I wish for sunlight all around,Yet hope the sun above isn’t too bright –Why should the sun sway before the window of the soul? 19 November 2021 in London 有时候我会感到这样一种矛盾既希望身边充满了阳光又希望头顶的太阳不要照得太亮——何必要在心灵的窗前摇荡？ 2021年11月19日于伦敦

Impression London – autumn rain 印象伦敦—秋雨
On sunless days,The world lives beneath miles of glaciers.Those hazy coloursintoxicate the poet behind the window-blinds,Blurring the London captured in his mind. If the whooshing cold windcannot sweep away the flute rustling on the trail,Then what is this kind of powerthat transforms the extensive silver screeninto sprinkling gold scattered on the ground? 12 November 2021…

Hermit 隐者
One day,I want to be a hermitWandering through the high mountainsAs if swimming into a dream,Where people would become water in a bottleAnd I would become a cloud in the sky Work with the sunlight,Rest with the sunsetUntil one day,When my eyes are filled with the sea,I would roll forward with the endless cornfield,Together with…

Impression London – Hyde Park 印象伦敦——海德公园
Among the deep green sky, little white flowers were scattered by,Flickered across the fields were the dances of butterflies.Among the deep blue sky, patches of white flowers were scattered by,Lingered among the clouds were the songs of delight. 29 September 2021 in London 碧绿的天空里，白花点点 蝴蝶的舞姿游荡于田野 蔚蓝的天空上，白花片片 清脆的歌声萦绕于云间 吴润天 2021年9月29日于伦敦

Chinatown 唐人街
You bid farewell to your parents with bitterness Farewell to the hometown where you’ve grown Take the compass and set foot on the boat, Sailing into the distance in the flames of war – Who knows what destinations you’ll head onto? Walking into the dilapidated village, I caught a glimpse of an old man in…

For Fuzhou No.3 High School 寄语福州三中
Three years ago, I approached you gently, looking up at your great name.Three years later, you watched me gently depart from Hudong Street.The fleeting three years, like night-blooming cereus, etch a lifetime of memories.The group photo,Constantly reminds me of your name,Keeps reviving in my dreams,Those people, those events, those times we spent together. I long…
