#Generic #Heart #Opera #SoapSoftTanka
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
