Golden Lion

Artwork by Gary Plummer ⇔ Poetry by Hongri Yuan 

The dark nights is howling outside the window

There is the smell of wolf in the city

My golden lion flew near me from the heaven

I’m going to ride it and start

The devil is twinkling in the mirror

A capricious face

Tonight you will nowhere to run

My sword is the lightning of gods

金狮 之一

黑夜在窗外嚎叫

城市有狼的气味

我的金狮从天庭飞临

我要骑上它开始出发

魔王在镜子里闪烁

一张变幻莫测的脸

今夜你无处可逃

我的剑是诸神的闪电

Golden Lion

When will the golden lion of my body wake up

Today I miss you inexplicably

You came from the heaven many years ago

Into my body quietly

Garrisonthing the temple of my soul for me

Your roar is a purple light of god

Let the size of the demons to flee

They repaid a lot of gems

Embedded in the huge sword which given me by the gods

金狮  之二

我体内的金狮何时醒来

今天  我莫名把你思念

许多年前  你从天庭降临

悄然进入了我的身躯

为我驻守灵魂的圣殿

你的吼叫是一道紫金的神光

让大小的妖魔望风而逃

它们还偿了一颗颗宝石

镶嵌在诸神赠我的巨剑之上
