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

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

Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them

The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays

A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour

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…

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

Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice

初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?

A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there

Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow

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