Bing Hua (translated by LiuMei)

Sneak Arrow

A vow of endless love so grand
Etched on a screen by trembling hand
Glows in WeChat’s fluorescent light
Bared to the world in open sight

From shadows near yet far away
A sneak arrow speeds its way

No Cupid’s dart to spark romance
But a cruel barb from scheming trance

A venomous consort’s cold art
Born of her vicious ruthless heart

This heart just scarred now bears a hole
Pierced by this wound that takes its toll

Yet from that hole through aching pain
A song rises a bold refrain
Its melody so clear so strong
Resounds with courage all along
