poem – life

you look at her with your serene smile,
holding the fragile small body,
squinting at the new treasure

warm bright light surrounds the two

while tracing back the memory of your distant past,
again, you embrace the bliss

あなたのまぶしそうな眼差し
小さな体を抱きながら
穏やかな笑みを浮かべる

2人の周りは温かく
明るい光に包まれ

あなたは遠い昔の記憶を辿り
また幸せを噛みしめる

poem – untitled

i know it’s love
when my heart tingles
at the very vulnerable site of you

the imperfection makes you so real
that it daunts upon me to protect you

it is the love i never knew
unfamiliar sensation floods into my soul

horrified and gratified
our life goes on

poem – dream

a dream is about to come true
thought the day would never come

still unsure if it’s truly happening
too self-conscious to picture the moment

the sense of rush gushing through me
with the dream almost in reach
and my heart unable to catch up with
all the changes occurring around me

totally oblivious to my complex emotions
the little life inside me
is just about to fly away
from a pool of safety
to the world of unknown

夢が叶おうとしている
何度も無理かと思った

本当に現実なのかまだ少し怖くて
その瞬間を思い描くことが何だか照れくさくて

手が届きそうではやる気持ちと
変化に追いつけないままの心と

そんな自分に臆することなく
身体の中にいる小さな命は
今にも知らない世界に
飛び出そうとしている

poem – friendship

something has broken in me
whatever we have built
has now all fallen apart

finally realised
that you crossed the line

at first a feeling of guilt
that turned into anger
then disappointment followed
and slowly, sadness emerged

the best thing is
just to turn my back
and walk away

no going back
determined
it’s too late

you may never know
that something
really broke in me

poem – written on 1/jan/09

”幸せにする自信がない”
そう言って
去って行った人
何度も、長い間、
どこがいけなかったのかと
自分を責めた
……………..

ある日、ある時、
”幸せにしたいんだ”
そんな人に
出会った

(translation)

he left saying
”not sure if i can make you happy”

many times, for a long time,
i blamed myself
wondering what i had done wrong

……………..

one day, one time,
met a man
who said

“i want to make you happy”

poem – reconciliation

stunned
with your unexpected words
flown from your heart
not sure why
you told me so

captured
with your sincere gaze
flown out of your heart
not sure why
you did it so

time
gave us a perspective
that now
we can be friends

embrace
we go separate ways
feeling the warmth
flown into our hearts
