I have never felt the chill of winter
Nor the birth of spring
Only the two faces of Nature
The golden sun shining
...
The day is dying
Its bright blood smeared
On the azure blanket
See its light blinding no more
...
Whirlwind of autumn leaves,
Gently they dance around,
The tune of her timid footsteps.
...
You are the flame
Of this dying ember
Fueled by your warmth I breathe
On that cold July night.
...
Come rest your head upon me
With the day’s burdens and tiresome chores
Let me share the weight on my shoulders
And feel your hair on my chest
...
To hold her hand was ecstatic
I know she was mine
At least for a moment
The first touch was electric
...
bow humbly before You
Bathala
Of infinite beauty
Giver of life
...
Heed the words of Akutagawa
Don’t let them fall
Like the searing rain
Over the corpses of the Gate
...
