A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
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
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
