A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
