Addicted To Each Other (Yan Li) Poem by Denis Mair
Addicted To Each Other (Yan Li)
by Yan Li
(translated by D Mair)
A
If only love could be refined into a drug
To get people hooked on each other
And give them even greater contempt for hatred
I often remind myself when going out each morning
To cancel out all dreams
That can cancel each other out
To save me from spinning circles in this world
I have been looking for the route
That goes by way of myself to reach others
Just as I've maintained all these years
I may take off umpteen times
But I can only land on mankind's runway
B
Nobody can take away my freedom to fly toward you
Though I can only fly by inventing
A posture that disdains tradition
But I have set forth on the path
That goes by way of you to reach myself
So now that I've run into you
I won't go off to catch rays in some darker place
I have no doubt we two are getting addicted
The Lord's prescription may have come a few seasons late
But for us it is only the onset
So now that I've run into you I won't go off to catch rays in some darker place I have no doubts we two are getting addicted The Lord's prescription may have come a few seasons late But for us it is only the onset - - - - - - - - - As I do not know Chinese, I can not possibly say much about Li Yan's work.But I must say that this poem is a wonderful poem of love.
The Lord's prescription may have come a few seasons late but for us it is only the onset. Every line of Yan Li's brilliant poem is nicely translated by you. This is interesting sharing done...10

What is intriguing to me about Yan Li's poetry is the fact that he has a poetic soul, no subject handed to him could be innoculated against his insistence to bring it to bear fruit and meaning.
