　　　　Hydrangea

Cloudy is my heart
Tears drop and wet my hands
A taint of insanity is coming on tiptoe
A slight headache annoys a part of my deep existence

I took a nap
Dreaming of past ,present, and future
What have I done? Who have I loved?
I woke up feeling a sort of a keen sense

Yesterday I went to a shrine
And I saw flowers called “Ajisai”
I touched some of them very softly

I found they were wet a little
It made me feel comfortable and smile
Now I remember it , making sure of something bright


　　　　　　Nothing Special

Nothing special I want to say
Nothing more I need
I have enough to spend everyday
I am happy indeed

The weather changes constantly
The sunshine makes me undressed
The clouds make me think reluctantly
The rain makes me depressed

I walk around my neighborhood
I hear birds singing
I see flowers along every wall

I remember vividly my boyhood
I surely enjoyed talking and dancing
I forgot where and when I lost all


　　　　　　No

My desire seems to have gone away.
My libido couldn't reach where I wanted to .
My dreams are yet to come true in a way
My life is nearing the end, too

Anything will happen to you and me.
Any time I will leave here.
Any one won't recognize me.
Anywhere would do, dear .

Someday I will come back.
Someday I will talk to you.
Someday I will smile as if for the last cast.

No more days are left to fill the lack.
No more jokes are welcome to you.
No,no,no is the word I found at last


　　　　　　A little bit

I can't be born again as myself
Either can't anyone of you
Knowing the very fact of myself
Thinking of the solemn reality imagined by you

How can I love myself and others
The more I know them
The more I doubt others
What a myth life is to me and to them

Come everybody and everything
Even if we couldn't understand one another today
Let's talk , sing , eat and drink ,here

I don't know the truth but I feel something
I get and lose something day after day
At last I wish a little bit of something left here



　　　　　　Pastime　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　
Looking back three times quickly 　　　　　
As if searching for someone beloved　
In the sunshine to arrive shortly　　　　　　
In the early morning of the revived
　　　　
Remembering the fact at last　　　　　 　
As if thrown away by that means 　　　　　
The sudden lightning from the past 　　　
Struck the center of the present scenes　　　

Too much light is cast upon the face 　　　
So is too dark shadow heedlessly 　　　
No way making sure of that case　　　　

Time goes around many substances won　　
Penetrating into them mercilessly　　　　　
Destroying almost everything but one
