(2013)
Written for a great friend of mine.
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
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
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
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
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
