More of a contemplative poem about a moment of emptiness.

No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
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
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
Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
