Folding Seasons

By the Blackwater River, ink-black and white Dusk fades away, light shines in all its glory Quicksand follows the river, all for your sake May your face stay young for a thousand years The world has shattered into imperfect fragments Growing up can no longer fulfill the promises left unkept You sing of this life's mottled years, while time settles in my eyes The endless years vanish in an instant Where our gazes linger in vain, please forget the blood, tears, and hatred What does it matter if fate toys with us? Must we wait until our youth has faded? From new moon to full, obsession endures; Luoyang is ever bustling The past has come to nothing; in this life, we will never part ways And all the confusion of our youth will eventually become the tenderness that remains after romance has run its course Let the wind sweep away the clouds. Come watch the morning clouds and evening glow with me. What do you say? [Note: I've been updating like crazy lately, but once school starts, I won't be able to update at all. So, what do you think: should I post more now, or save the chapters for later?]
