Three Poems

      

By Yuan Hongri Translated by Yuanbing Zhang

Yuan Hongri   I Was Originally The God of the Gods   I shall change seawater into honey， smelt the stone into the gold， the bitter is namely sweet， the sun is born from the womb of the night.   Oh, my God！No matter what if you are really the God Oh, the devil! No matter how many tricks you have today, I am neither living nor dying I want to put you all into the golden tripod of time.   I am originally outside of the earth I will leave one day although I have forgotten many years but I woke up finally today   From a little drop of water the world came into being It was originally a tear of mine I was originally the God of the Gods . 4.30.2011   The World Is in a Box   The world is in a box the little timeworn world the countries of Lilliput the President of the king's prime minister those kings，premiers and presidents those dwarfs in the scroll of time’s picture   They do not believe the additional sun both like a diamond and like gold make you warm in winter make you cool in summer   Neither have they seen the sweet ocean nor have they known heaven outside time forgotten those gods who like mountains are the ones the former ancients owned 9.1.2012 The King of The Diamonds   The sun was rising in my breast I woke up finally said goodbye to the night's nightmare the world was lit up by me this is actually the real me   There is no longer day and night there are no longer newborns and death I got myself back before there was no earth and heaven I have existed from the beginning   The world is just my works： a picture, a poem a symphony. Give me a stone I will turn it into the king of the diamonds. 9.3.2012 Bio:Yuan Hongri (born 1962) is a renowned Chinese mystic, poet, and philosopher.
