Chinese Poetic Writober 2025.
Notes:
• A collection of poems about various characters written during the Asiatober 2025 #asiatober_zoya25 • This year, I'd like to participate in this event with the poems in English. There is a collection like this in Russian on my FicBook profile (2024) • Maybe, not each day will be covered • The name of the collection is based on two Chinese idioms: 比翼双飞 bǐ yì shuāng fēi - to fly wing to wing (figuratively: to live in a perfect harmony, to be inseparable) 海枯石烂 hǎi kū shí làn - [until] the sea dries up and the stones rot (usually in oaths; figuratively: forever, forever and ever)

It feels as a new rebirth — from abstract ideas to real pain, From faceless colors to real people, Further from complex but hollow lyrics: In the fire reviving as phoenix… You helped me, Made me believe In myself again: That’s you; Seeded, deleted The salty grain. So what? How come? Drawing in the night, Spoiling one sheet after another, In this crazy fight Seeing your eyes frightens rather Than drowning in the deep of water; Acknowledging you On the other side. Is that your rebirth? Standing firmly on the earth, I promise you to finish — you are out although not leaving a single trace; You name me as one: and I will stay your secret ace.
