POEMS FROM JAPAN

THE TWO OF US – Rina Takamatsu poem

If it was just the two of us, I’d whisper in your ear, Ill take you by the hand and we’d fly, away from life, away from death, you’d hold me close and together we’d jump, fall into the sky, fall into the galaxy. But it’s not the two of us, theres that girl you’re always talking with, the mother with disapproving eyes, the friends, with frowns on their faces. So if it ever were just the two of us. Please don’t let go.

SET US FREE – Reimi Katoh poem

We’ve been waiting for our turn to come. We wanted to go out of your control and see the world. We wanted to be free. But you never released us. We are so simple and beautiful. But many people try to hide us. Maybe it’s because we are too much simple and extremely beautiful. We’ve been locked in your heart for a long long long time. We are so tired, for we’ve been living like a prisoner. We are not in your possession. We are not your servant. We are an artist. We’d be happy if you trust us, and set us free. Don’t be afraid. Once we go out of your own world, we will float in the air and enrich your life. So, please respect us. Because we are unspoken words, “I love you”.

WATER PHANTOM – Angeline Haikutwinkle poem

Under a spray of cold water, sizzles upon impact on my passionate body, droplets of desire trickling down. You are the water phantom, flame and water ignites a spark, building intense harmony through silent chaos, desire burning inside, sensations brewing in hot lava. Your love letters licking my mind, every alphabet is a glinting beacon in my unlit chamber. You are the conductor of my orchestra making melodies, together we make beautiful rhythms in giving and taking.
