Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!

Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply

To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling

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 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

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens

My Grandfather’s last dream In a deep sea of white, heavy thun… Until a peaceful respite blinks What will it bring? Will the rain… With their piercing showers, will…

Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array

Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink

I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow

Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?

Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life

Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils

Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
