My soft body is as white as jade My belly is like silk Apricot face, peach cheeks, eyebrows like a sprout moon I, a magic spider transformed into a fairy Everyone says that flowers open, flowers die. Time runs like water, my sweet I think of you in dreams and in the night I cannot sleep Fragrance fades, my body becomes thin, empty loneliness sinks in Ten thousand pieces of gold cannot buy one beautiful spring night like this Let’s rock the dragon and flip the phoenix Until our minds float away
