Linlin's Poetry

A Stranger In The Crowd

It’s me again
Writing to you everything I’m afraid to say
Every word, every thought, every pain

You are so far
You won’t read what I write
This therapy I call art

You don’t care so it’s fine
I just need to share this all with someone
A stranger to tell all my life
So all my fears and pain will be finally gone

You don’t know me
You won’t read it
It’s fine, I just need to pour it down
Make the lines flow to touch someone’s heart
Read it or not
I just need to share every word

Just a stranger in the crowd
I tell the story of everyday life
Remaining silent I want to cry loud
Every pain living still inside
I want to share everything with you
Though you don’t read it all, do you?

I’m just a stranger to you
Just none
That’s my sad truth
But I hope
One moment can change everything
Though it sounds like an unreal dream

Keep It

I found you when there was no light
You brought it into my life
Became my sunshine so warm and bright

They call you cold prince
But you bring warmth
They call you emotionless
Though you were never cold
You brought me back feeling of home

I saw you when the sun shine bright
But your light was brighter
Velvet sweetness of misummer night
Tasted like rice wine and laughter

White peony so innocent and pure
Petals covered with dew were so tender
Daring dreams were more I could endure
But those I will keep in heart forever

You came into my life when I needed light the most
Wandering in the darkness like blind
I finally found that I thought was ever lost

You brought me back my home and heart
Please, keep it now safe
For every deep feel and oath of love
Keep it dear for me till the end

Be Real

Live here and now
Tomorrow may never come
Live here and now
Don’t look back, years flow by

We run and run
From yesterday to another tomorrow
Forgetting about today
We run and run
From tears and darkness of sorrow
To see the light in the end

Tell me the story of bright today
Give me hope to find the way
To see future without fear
Give me hope to live now and here

I paint with verses and lines
Through the pale days I live again and again
Like an endless tale time flies
Through deep hidden pain

I’ve seen betrayal and cruel smiles
I’ve heard accusations and lies
From those I thought to be friends
Though it came to a logical end

I’ve seen the beauty of spring
I’ve heard silent whisper of the wind
And felt sweet scent of hope
There could be another world

Those who fled and thought they were right
Left so far behind
I wish I could say I wish them all the best
But I couldn’t care less

Live free from sorrows and pain
Go for your dream, try again and again
Feel, live and follow your dreams
Be honest, be real

Fairy Tale

I believe in fairy tales
You drew once on the sand
I believe in those lines
You told through your rhymes

You sing about senselessness and senses
You write the world bright with black and white pictures
Like there is war in your heart
Like there is nothing left inside

I see pale and faded world outside
Even in a sunny day
I see no colours inside
Like everything is gone away

Only light that is bright I find in you
I still believe that dreams can come true

To Be Heard

Do you see the clouds flowing with the wind?
Do you feel the touch of light upon your skin?
Do you know the legend of far white shores?
Do you know sweet feel of love?

I wish I could tell you the story
As beautiful as fading melody
I wish I could sing you a lullaby from the childhood
So dear, never withered in memories

Tell me your tale
Unveil your soul
Never let this moment fade
Until the end of the world

I open my heart to the world
See the sincerity within every word
I cry through the rhyme and verse
To have a chance to be heard

Live

You have your own life
As do I
You have your wishes and passions
As do I
Interests and hobbies
Pains and emotions

We both live through everyday routine life
Morning coffee, day fleeting by fast
But two different paths

Life in rush, always moving ahead
And days moving one by one like in slow motion
New faces, plastic smiles, envy flowing in the air
Poisonous words, fears and hidden emotions
Silent tears, endless stress, desperation
The feeling like there is no way and no end

We both live in one world
Though different
I hear and see you from afar, moving along
The way without knowing the end

You live your own life
Living with your own passions and desires
I live my life hoping to survive
To see you one day with my own eyes

I beg you just live
Live your life and be happy
Let your smile and eyes shine
Let your heart burn with its fire
I beg you don’t betray your heart
Let your soul follow your desire

We both live our own lives
We walk our own paths
Keeping the dearest things deep in our hearts
Not letting the others inside

No Word

No word can tell what I feel
No rhyme can describe the depth of this real
I’m living in day by day

I dream of bright sunlight cascading upon the leaves
Of sweet blossom of spring
I dream of your smile and eyes looking at me
I dream with hope that never disappears
And be gone with another dawn
Like it used to be before

No word can tell what I feel
No line written from heart can paint the scenery
I see deep in a dream

Through the wind of neverending winter I cry
Hear my fading voice through this far
All the verses I write, they come from heart

Don’t push me away, please
I’ve never meant any harm, just understanding
Let me tell all this feeling
Let me paint you the world from my dreams

All My Heart

Lines run down describing the story
Of unreal love through years
Line by line the tale blooms in its glory
Like a memory without griefs

I write a story with a happy love end
As I want you so bad
I write a story hoping you’ll read it
I write falling asleep to dream
Of you reading it real

Happy love tale with blossom and laughter
Dreamcatching glances in a sunny day
Advice of a friend, sweet whisper of a lover
One smile, one kiss to take all the pain away

All those lines I wrote
Every poem, every rhyme
All the dreams I still hold
Deep in soul and in my mind
To find the way to tell you
All my heart true

You Don’t Know Me

You know me not
But does it matter
If heart lives in hope
Believing that things could be better

You know me not
Don’t know me real
Though I fell in love
So recklessly and totally

We’ve never met, we’ve never talked
Though I feel your soul through miles and years
Through the dreams it sounds like a silent call
A whisper of wind in the leaves and waves

I feel you real
You see me hidden
Among the lines
I write and write
But they are still unread
Though my hope is never dead

Until my heart beats
I will try over and over again
To reach these dreams
They all call unreal
I will try over through the pain
To touch the realm
That lies beneath that pale real

Keep It Safe

All the walls I’ve built around
Turned into a dungeon
It all was ruined with one only look
Every step I take to you
I take it away from that prison
I’ve been living for ages

Through the dark I see your face
So dear, so full of grace
Embraced by pure halo
Reviving me from this nightmare
I follow the light hidden deep in your heart
Trying to reach the stars shining in your eyes
I’m just mesmerized
By your light, your inner glow

Share yourself with the world, but not until the end
Save your heart within
Keep every your dream
Don’t open your soul to everyone, keep it safe
