Vincent van Gogh

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps, they'll listen now
For they could not love you
And still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
on that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

                                                                             《Vincent》

狹小的展覽室裡  我們擠在你的畫作前

Vincent  你有什麼感覺

一百年後  世人榮耀你的名字

但  有多少人真真認識了你?

Vincent  你也該聽見了吧

今天的人群裡那些亂七八糟的言語

輕蔑你的素描比不上他太太

說你的畫作一模一樣

還有人感歎你生不逢時  應該活在現代"畫漫畫"

Vincent  你應是不會怪我戴上耳機重複聽著starry starry night

你知道我感冒了

酸痛的鼻腔幾乎逼出眼角的淚

Vincent  你是否習慣了這一切

還是  你憤恨地割去一耳  也因此換得了平靜

Vincent  你是不是還放逐自己  在那片陰鬱的麥田裡

是否還陷在那悲傷與絕望的深藍的迴流漩渦裡無法離去

面對悲傷與寂寞   忍受背叛與失去

你是否放聲哭泣?

愛人走了  朋友走了 

最後  連西奧都將離去

離去前他們說你瘋狂 

Vincent  他們不懂你傷痕纍纍的心

------------------------------

你是如此聰慧易感    簡單可愛

你希望神照護受苦的人

你喜愛大自然  喜愛老人與婦女

浮世繪  點描畫  印象畫

你的眼界瞬間繽紛多彩

但你的心靈始終受苦

 也許   

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

這世界從來配不上如此美好的你
