芥子51期 －詩三首：留 (星熒)

留

星熒

為甚麼你要走？
為甚麼不肯留？
是否？
可思念的 都會走
最美麗的 總是不能留

於是 留給我一整夜風雨
你悄悄地一個人走
踏上北歸的途程
帶走了 周遭的一切
僅留下 一個含笑的倩影
為什麼啊？ 你不曾
將那一句諾言 再加一點思念
留給 這風雨中的送行人

Leave Here

Why do you leave here?
Why can’t you stay here?
Whether it be true or not,
Those we would like to remember eventually leave.
The most beautiful are unlikely to stay.

Hence - - leaving the storm all night to me,
You silently leave here.
Starting a journey, returning North,
You take with you everything around here,
But an image of a lovely smile
(is the only thing you leave with me. )
Why will you not
Leave a word of promise and a little yearning
To the one who is standing in the storm and seeing you off?
