Show the bottom of my soul,
I'm just an empty cup.
I devoted myself to time and no longer existed.
To tell you the truth,
I am full of adventure in the cup.
Youth, red wine flooding,
Just want to drown you with a kiss.
Girl, I'm not bragging.
I suddenly became smart,
I want to pour out my world.
Bless your black eyelashes and strange eyes. The poem Wine Glass explores the theme of time and love, and expresses the poet's yearning for eternal love while lamenting the passage of time.
"When the Long Darkness Rises" is like "I" lying on the bed in the silent night, looking at the starry sky through the open curtains, thinking and having trouble sleeping. The diffuse and open night covered my whole body, "showing the bottom of my soul". Night makes people quiet, and you can see yourself completely and reflect on yourself. "I'm just an empty cup/pour myself into time and no longer exist." Compare yourself to an empty wine glass to show your mind. I am willing to empty everything in my heart, just like an empty cup, clear and transparent enough to see my soul. "I" is willing to give everything about "me" to time, so that it can be baptized and tested in the passage of time. Here, the poet seems to be expressing his wishes to someone in the first person. So who is this to show your heart to?
I tell you the truth/I am full of adventure/youth, and the glass is flooded with red wine. "Adventure-style youth symbolizes my youthful passion, and it is the desire and pursuit of love; It is full of shyness, but it is also full of adventure impulse. Because once you have a girl you like, it will be out of control and pour out like a flood. Therefore, the poet skillfully used "red wine" to describe the passionate love kiss of young men to girls, which was ruddy and warm, and "just wanted to drown you with a kiss". This poem is simple and meaningful, and the poet expresses the loyalty of "I" to love incisively and vividly with only two symbols.
Then the poet further deepened the theme. "Girl, I'm not bragging/I'm suddenly smart/I want to pour out my world/bless your black eyelashes and strange eyes." I can swear to God that I love this girl. Although I seem to have lost my mind because of this love, I am confident and convinced.
I can give my "world" for you, and I am willing to dedicate all my feelings and love to you, wishing you the best. In the face of my passionate love, the girl can't be indifferent. Although her eyes are strange, it won't discourage me, because I have dedicated myself to that girl, just like an empty cup. "I" will only try harder to express my mind. Even if I am tortured by endless darkness, I will not shrink back, because I believe that my love for girls will never fade in the long river of time.
Poetry is titled "Wine Glass", which has profound implications. The wine glass originally refers to the vessel for holding wine, which is endowed with multiple meanings in poetry. The first can be the comparison of "I". Comparing "I" to "an empty wine glass" means that the wine glass is transparent and can show everything about "I" in a crystal clear way, including my soul, my happiness and my pain. Secondly, the wine glass is related to wine, so it has an intoxicating and immersive meaning. Love is like wine, which makes lovers intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Sometimes, like bitter wine, there is bitter frustration in the crowd. Sometimes it's like hard liquor, which ignites each other's desires. Sometimes it's like sweetness, two of a kind, being together all the time. In this poem, the wine in the glass should be mixed, sweet, bitter and warm. This may be the true meaning of love.
It is really innovative to use the symbol of "wine glass" to express the poet's devotion and loyalty to love. In addition, the poet also linked the theme of love with the passage of time. Time flies at my fingertips, but my love for girls is getting stronger and stronger. Love is eternal, but time is short. Although I can't wholeheartedly win the girl's heart at once, I am willing to take the time to witness and test it.
