Magnet

A flicker of flame is lit at the edge of my heart
Silently it burns, spreading, growing into unexpected passion
My butterfly flutters, leaving dust on your unnoticing hand

Pulling and caressing our fingers together
Kissing lips and dancing swords
Unforgivable sin, too high the price to atone
Which precisely what makes us burning with desire

Embrace me tight and test my limits
Make me believe this is not a sin
Kiss me and repaint my body
Intoxicate and drown me in your charm

You might want to tie me up
If you love me, then show me some courage!
I can't help but love ridiculous things
So let us go as far as we can go

With hearts that have gone astray
We'll easily melt and bond together
That there's not enough time for us
Even to feel and love each other's tenderness

We are not dreaming, all this time
It's you and me in the flesh, face to face, heart to heart
I know we can't turn back as soon as we touch
It won't matter, for you're my one and only love

As dawn breaks, I shake my weary head
I end up crying in silent tears
I can hear you breathe "It's okay" to me
But I can feel your tears rolling down your cheek

Draw me closer like we are two magnets
That when we separate, we will reunite again
Let's become one, it's okay not to be able to turn back
It won't matter, for you're my one and only love

- Loose translation of Magnet by Minato

Leave Me in the Dark

Leave me in the dark
I will let you bind my arms
And hang chains and shackles to my feet
To keep me from bringing you harm

Maybe you could shoot me
Put a bullet to my head
Or make me walk the plank
So it's not your life, it's my life instead

I leave ruins behind me
Fire along my footsteps
It's like death wherever I go
Shadows lurk under the bed of people I know

If I could turn back time
And right the wrongs I did
If I could turn back time
I could undo every things I said

I know it's science fiction
It's a daydream in a boring classroom
But if I really could, I would
This is from the bottom of my heart

I will never say I love you

Without You

It's that time of the day again
When I'm alone with my pen and paper
I close my eyes like I always do
To boldly go beyond the borders of my mind.

I try and try to see the light
Beyond the darkness of my clamp shut sight
No matter how hard I try
It feels almost like an endless night

Emptiness, is all I feel
It's like a giant hole in my chest
I can never get out of this darkness
If I can't satisfy this thirst

Then I open my eyes and see
A clear and starry night sky
Among the flicker of scattered tiny lights
A crescent moon behind a wisp of clouds

So that's what it's all about
I just see an important thing
It's your smile and pretty eyes
Your love and kindness that kept me going

I miss you, my love, my best friend
I miss everything about you
I can never be a complete being
Without you

Well I already have the notes in my mind, enough to make a song out of this one, but right now I lack the most important thing : Musical instrument. Darn it!

Five Fours

I can't breathe

I'm gasping for air

The one that I used to take for granted

Now is gone, I can't have it no more

I can't see

I'm reaching in darkness

The light that once showed me the way

Now is gone, what is left now shadows all around me

I cannot breathe, I cannot see

I can't even feel, all what's left is numbness

I cannot speak, nor can I ask why

I can just try to learn to let you go

It's interesting, the difference

Between love and madness is

It's as thin as a strand of hair

Or a flick of a two-faced coin

But love is, nonetheless

Is a choice we make for ourselves

We choose to love, we choose to live

We choose not to lose ourselves

It Just Looks Different

The sun looks different, today.
Despite the heat, the warmth reaches deep
Smile is inevitable
I can't avoid being happy

Is it the wind?
I love how it feels on my skin
Or is it the birds?
Their chirps tell great morning tales

And, ah, the colors all around
They look ever so vibrant, today
I think that's why the sun smiles bright today
To let me walk tall throughout the day

Well, it’s true : The sun shines differently this morning. The air is uncommonly crisp and clear, and it just made me feel quite calm and peaceful despite the every-day heavy traffic.

It's 9 in the evening
the nature has fallen asleep, already
Even the moonshine is hiding
Shyly behind the velvets of the night clouds

The cradle of the night starts to rock
While nightbirds sing lullabies
And the crickets adds to the ballads
They bring me to the brink of a cry

Then I walk towards the thunder
Of the long beach with the white sand
I picture you walk beside me
Safe with your palm in my hand

It feels lonely out here
Watching the fall of the moon
Diminishing silvery light
Slowly creeps along the sand dunes

It feels cold out here
Listening to breaking waves
When I'm sitting out here
Far from the love I crave

How can I forget
When all the nature sings your memories
When all the stars up above
Sparkle your smile, oh tell me please

It's your face and eyes that I see
When I see the clouds over the moon
I think forever is the word
To weave along with this tune

She loves full moon...and it's so bright, tonight.

I want to get cold sweat
I want to eat butterfly
I want to get dizzy
Like I’m flying up high

I want to get cold feet
Too shy, I say it in discreet
I want to blush red
As red as a fresh beet

I want to french kiss
While splashing on a sunset beach
I want to touch and caress
Without word and speech

I want to gaze upon stars
I want to chase elusive rainbows
I want to admire the moon
And glide to where the wind blows

I want to fall in love . . .

. . . I really do.
