[诗词] Forever

I drowned
my infatuation in the sea.
But
Was struggling in the sea;
Was gasping -
For you.

You were there smiling.
You were still beautiful.
That day
I drowned
your beauty in the sea.

I placed a picture frame
around us. Then
I drowned
myself in the sea.

Someday
Both of us will buoy on the sea.

Like corpses -
And nothing else.

Forever.

(chinese version)

i like the idea of the poem but it feels really chinese... it feels as if you've directly translated the poem from chinese ot english. you're gonna hate me but i think i see grammar mistakes here and there... sorry!!! didn't mean to be mean.

Thanks for reading. ^^ Yeah, I actually come up with something in chinese, and you're right, I translated it.

I'm happy to receive comments ^^"
But the problem is... if there are grammar mistakes here and there... would you mind to point them out for me? So that I can improve. Umm well, unless it is too tiring to list them out since there are too much. >_<

I will work hard. And thanks again ^o^ for both 'anonymouses', hehe.

Honestly, I didn't translated it. I got some ideas, and I started writing in english... it's just the idea was in chinese, and I finished the whole thing without thinking in chinese. While I DID translated the english one to the chinese... and no one noticed. Lolz.

Ok... probably it's my thinking method too 'chinese'... so I'll work hard for my next attempt. ^^
