Darkness descends and silence reigns
across the mountains and the plains.
The Moon Goddess has yet to rise
...
The fields are bare, the harvest safe in store
Now is the time for man and beast to rest
...
A cigarette will soothe away
the stress and troubles of the day.
That’s what the doctors used to say.
When I was young
...
I long to hear that sound again
The happy voices of children,
of children playing happily.
I must rely on memory.
...
I eat to live not live to eat
but I can still enjoy my food.
As I am quite sure I should.
I dine on vegetables and meat
...
Dead heroes hold an honoured place
in histories of the human race.
But I am forced to wonder why
we only honour those who die.
...
Beneath the trees like drifts of snow,
the dropping cherry blossoms fall.
It makes me sad to them go.
Like fleeting dreams beyond recall.
...
Although I try I cannot hide,
the fact that I’m dissatisfied
with everyone and everything
Despite the fact that I have tried.
...
Dreams are not reality
She was not fat nor was she thin
but rather somewhere in between.
...
A small dark man who stands alone.
He gives respect where it is due
but owes allegiance to none.
and he expects respect from you.
...
