吻之色彩

如果色彩有話要說
黃色的輕聲細語
似乎就在耳畔溫柔響起

而綠色卻尋覓隱身起來
躲在高地斜坡上
一點秘密也沒有

有人想讚歎香蕉之美卻窮於辭彙
香蕉的滋味是言語難以道出的
果實的熟成乃大自然的智慧結晶

黃色的這般質地
像充滿了未知與青春柔軟的一個初吻

比起味道較容易被品嘗出來
色彩具有說出更高深的真理之力量

色彩一吻
不可不懂






The Colour of Kiss

if colour spoke
yellow would be a whisper
gentle upon the ear

while green would seek to hide
on high plantation shelves
revealing no secrets

Some may price banana beyond our means
or the taste beyond our words
while the fruit matures as wisdom knows

the texture of the yellow
a first kiss of unknown youthful softness

colour speaks of deeper truth
than taste is prone to reveal

one kiss of colour
is to know
