I wrote this poem about a beautiful Asian woman

 

 

The way light nimbly paints your cheek as with the master’s brush 
 
And exposes the even contours 
 
Of a face where beauty reigns 
 
You smile with your eyes
 
That smile rising up to your face 
 
As it lifts the corners of your mouth
 
Brightening the space about you 
 
Painting an aura felt, but not seen
 
Your dark hair frames your face
 
As it should 
 
You slightly lift a shoulder as you laugh 
 
I have never gazed on one such as you 
 
Your gentle gestures appealing not just to the eye but to ones hearts as well 
 
For you can pierce a heart by the way
 
You hold your lips and glimpse across the room and return 
 
How your neck moves slightly with the motion of your eyes 
 
Your movements like dawn on water’s surface 
 
So still and in a wind so gentle 
 
That I can see my breath on a summer’s day 
 
Yet the one who gives such pleasure 
 
To my senses
 
Fails to know 
 
Her own eloquence 
 
And trades her beauty For a doubt  

 

 

 

 那轻吻在你脸颊上的光线正如主人的毛刷
勾勒出你脸颊的轮廓
 那是美人自己独有的脸蛋
你微笑的时候你的眼睛也在笑
笑容爬上了你的脸蛋
当轻轻地抬起你的嘴角时候
也照亮了你内心的某个地方
为你绘画一个你都够感知但却看不见的光环
你乌黑的长发紧贴你的脸蛋
它也应该是
你大笑的时候你的肩膀也微微地抬起
我从没凝望一个人像你这样
你优雅的姿势吸引我的不仅仅是我的眼睛还有我的心
你总是可以用这样的方式来深深打动我的心
你抿着你的嘴唇,到处扫视房间
你的脖子轻轻挪动时还有那眼神
你的动作就像黎明倒映在水面
 就像在风中那样温柔
在夏天的某一天,我可以看见我的气息
 然而这位令我如此愉悦的人
在我的意识里
 她应该不知道
 她的口才
交易着她的美丽
是一个疑问

So beautifully expressed. I was about to share it with my Asian lady, but she brushed it off rushing out of the house to accomplish her whirlwind of daily duties. I will be sure to share it with her at a quieter time. I wish I had written this for her.
