82

the heartbeat of
a kindred spirit
delivers
the melody of freedom
on my lips again

81

the tune
I've heard
in the morning light
has been played
over and over

80

every piece of
the broken glasses
under my bare feet
reflects
all the colors of light

79

crushed on
the great wall
of indifference
the broken fragmants
scatter over the sky

78

in his hammock
my ears placed
on the bosom
catch
our throbs

77

not in love
not on the pinked cloud
the chemistry of love
the marrow of his bone
that's what I longed to be

76

withered eulalias
hides the path
to the river
leading the humble feet
to a brand-new trail

75

without
the blancket of
dreams
a winter cherry
withers
upon my palms

74

engaged with prisms
a morning dew creates
a rainbow diamond
at the edge of a bough
the only gem I've ever begged

73

part of me
falls
from your tree
yet the heart
returns to our roots

72

thread by thread
our silky web
has woven
it takes a whim
to snip

71

the silence
falls on
the wet moon
proposing
paired meditation

70

from the moment
our gaze met
nothing can
set it apart
even space-time

69

having extra eyes
on my side
stretches
the width and the depth
of my sky

68

only in siesta
he comes
with the sunshine
in his eyes
cradling the wearies to sleep

white lotus
emerging
from my mouth
my tongue its stalk
all I ever wanted

67

thousand days of meditation
thousand words of wisdom
can't give me
more poems than
a touch of yours

66

just a glance
of you
that's all it takes
to get the angel
out of me

65

the breath
of the poet
detoxifies
the haze of
sulfur dioxide

64

in the blue eyes
I found
not only the ocean
but also
the setting sun

63

in the sharp-edged air
on the misty mountain top
the words are frozen
our breathing
coalesce

62

our heart beats
quieted down
for the last breath
of the sun
in a haze

61

even
the odor of
sulfur spring
can't beat
our laughter

60

in the view of
a little bird
singing a love song
for the given life
is enough task to complete

59

a carefree touch
of the innocent hand
squeezes out
my sealed
affection

58

the old wound of
the thorne
on the tip of
the first finger
still throbs

57

only laughters
can fool
the tormenting
memories of
the golden hair

56

the shadow of the summer
sneaks into
the unlocked heart
bringing back
the forbidden taste

55

hunted
by
the dream
the sweetest of all
can't get back

54

only the wish
jumps over the wall
and
dives into the river
of your mind

53

the colors
of the picture
are fading away
leaving
only the scent of summer

52

the innocent smile
as the fuel
the life goes
on a bumpy road
with heavy loads

51

a pink flower in bloom
on sumie-colored
Yukata
resonant with
the hopeful heart

50

dancing
without supporting arms
is something new
I stagger
yet surely learn

49

away from the deep blue
dreaming
of its freedom
wishing
for reunion

47&48

47

the face of a stranger
in the miroor
carved lines
give her
much more stories

48

I'm an open book
in your hand
go ahead
read it
it is just a love story

46

the growing
yet still
little hands
are waiting patiently
to be held in mine

44

44
feels like
something in me
has died
as you kiss me
good-bye

45
finally
emancipated
from the shadow
of the sweet moments
adieu!

42 & 43

42
I stumble
on the gap
between
the reason &
the nature

41

the fethered heart
flies about
freely
Does it know
where to come back?

39 & 40

39
daunted
by the brightness
of other stars
a little one
hang on to the moon

40
under the moonlight
feel safe
to
show
my naked heart

38

do others notice
how deep
how gentle
how naked
his blue eyes are?

37

how silly
my heart is,
humming
bubbly songs
with a sweet talk

３６

like
the strawberries
grown out
from a wild ground
passion rises

35

do not touch
the heart
if you
intend to
crush it

33&34

33
strolling around
the Edo-taste town
hand in hand
my feet don't touch
the ground

34
history
is
his story
his words
infatuate the romance

32

Please
please
fickle sun
come out & smile
for the river tryst

31

only the moon knows
how I wish to get to see
your fluffy golden hair
turns white
like the dandelion fluff

29 & 30

29
through
the lens
you see
Nature's art?
a woman's heart?

30
rainny days
your
book & promise
the best entertaiments
ever

26, 27& 28

26
on the way to meet you
a train moves
slowly
as opposed to
the speed of my heartbeat

27
the sun
seduces
us
to dive
into the awaking river

28
"You can't outspice me."
says he,
devouring the noodle
in the devilsh red soup
I can't outcharm you

26

silky spider web
over ivy
in the morning light
evokes
my hidden wish

25

a glowing
red cross
becons us
to a virgin travel
together

24

a mightmare
recurrent terror
my deepest fear
that is to hear
you want me no more

23

no,
not yet-
not so triflingly
let go this moment
it won't happen again

22

at midnight
at a family restaurant
you stole my lip
as if you dare to
take marital vows

21st

"sharing is
the most beautiful thing
in the whole wide world"
I say as I steal your chocolate cake
to see the most beautiful smile of yours

19th & 20th

19
a small talk
over supper
makes a half glass of
everyday wine
taste first-class

20
intoxicated
after supper
wondering if
it is the wine
or the spoons

18th

absorbing the energy
from the sun
through the stretching arms
to warm up
our coldest night

17th

the firm heart beat
I felt
underneath
a cherry tree
can't be a daydream

3rd to 16th

3rd
as long as
the fickle time is asleep
cuddle the weary heart
with the old warmth
et absolute silence

4th
the scent of coffee
the sound of music
the colors of nature
every second of my life
brings me all the sweet memories

5th
Tell me
how it is possible
to break
the broken heart
again

6th
the virgin snow
fall down
on the bare bough
blooming winter flowers
in honor of the oath of poets

7th
share
the sweetness
bear
the bitterness
to pursue
the art of love

8th
wine taste better
in the last glass
sweet things happen
after bitter days
patience ｔａｓｔｅs the nectar

9th
It is the only
in the mysterious equation of
love
I find the answer
for this simple life

10th
nothing is like ー
dozing on the seat
while listening to
lighthearted tune
the driver hums

11th
what if I sing
how my heart
is painted rainbow...
will you tell me
your story?

12th
talking sense
with the whipped cream
on your lip
is unfairly
adorable

13th
a cherry tunnel
looks like
a runway
to the eternity
for you and me

14th
two shadows
stand on
an erupted rock
in sumi-e colored mountains
feeling as one

15th
no better
alarm clock
than
the gentle tap
of his left hand

16th
on such a rainy day
the heart goes
up and down & round and round
in a funfair
of the true romance

2nd song

the skyblue eyes
warm like
the spring sun
melt my frozen
heart

April 22nd 1st song for U

"See you"
is a promise
or the merest greetings
oh, again
a long night falls
