Set fire in rain

I see fire
that are dancing in rain
They will not extinguish
because the rain which is rinsing them
is already anguished

Bodies can be destroyed 
but not souls
Water perish the life of fire
but fire gets immortal in the water

I see sparks 
that are still bouncing in rain
Gradually disappearing
but clearly existing 

Left or Right

I’m standing in front of an intersection
wondering which way to go
Road on the left is wide and flat
Road on the right is narrow and bumpy

I see lots of footprint are going left
but fews are going right
People with different minds
choose for a different side

I’m halting in the middle of two roads
watching people passing by

As me
they stop and then they go
But unlike them
I am still hesitated

Roads on the left has such a nice blue sky
Roads on the right has such a dangerous forest
I want to enjoy the joy under the pure blue sky
but also want to take an adventure in the dark forest

I’m standing in front of an intersection
tossing a coin

People say
tossing is just an action
and coin is just an promotion
You already get your answer
when the coin is still in air

I look up at the coin
which’s keep flipping in the air
I start running 
toward the road I choose
with no pity and regret

3 Surprises

Certainly,
people love surprises,
who doesn’t?

Unfortunately,
I don’t .

When I was ten,
my cousin who was over 200 pounds
jumped on my back suddenly.
This big surprise had broken my rib;
I laid in bed for a month.

When I was sixteen,
I stumbled in a football game accidentally,
then I heard a crack sound of my broken femur;
Crack! Crack!
Thanks to this great surprise,
I laid in bed for 3 months.

When I was twenty four,
I was hit by a car with a drunk driver in it.
Luckily I did not die,
but I couldn’t feel my limbs anymore.
I was paralyzed. 
What a unexpected surprise!
I think I finally could spend my whole life in bed.

Therefore,
you still want surprises?
Here are three and take them all;
I’ll be appreciated. 

Red

Red is the colour of blood
which may bring damage and agony
Like an apple bleeding in vain
and a shy peach blushing in the heat from the sun

Red is a signal of stillness
You drive and you stop
when you see a sign that hints you pause

Red is a drunk heart
beating within your living body
It gives you the vague choices
of living or dying

Black

Black is the colour of evil
which sometimes will guild you 
to the wrong direction
like an unbeatable curse
and a spinning tornado in the storm 

Black is a signal of danger
You will face life risks 
when you disobey the rule 
which given from devil

Black is a quiet eld
sitting there silently and patiently 
He waits for the coming of death
and smiles until the time has gone
