The world is a great river, my life is as a boat

Mars and Venus

When Venus meets Mars, love occurs,
Brute in gentleness, like rock in the fur.
Tips of fingers linked, though to never,
Lips of sweetness touched, as they ever.

When Mars meets Venus, affair begins,
Blind in the raylight, as if the sin.
When love greets hate, there is a way,
Welcoming new freshness, my heart sways.

Life-time

Many hours a day, many days a month.
I count on them, waiting for you.
Many months a year, many years a life.
I breathe on, looking for you.

Time changed, hope faded,
It has been a long decade.
Love is lost, heart is chilled,
It was me whom you killed.

Murasaki

You were born in brightness,
and faded into darkness.

You made me face my fate,
and vanished into death.

Purple could surrounds the mount,
the sun shines through the south.

The mist of love floats around,
I'll be living in the cloud.

[*this one is written for and dedicated to Murasaki in Genji Monogatari
based on the comic edition, in which when Genji dies,
there's purple cloud surrounding the mountain he lives in.
Murasaki means 'purple cloud'.]

The day

The day my love says goodbye,
I know myself would cry,
for this bitter sweet emotion I've tried,
from the truth in the fake, I can't hide.

The day my love slips away,
when I see and follow your way,
when I can't please you to stay,
the only wish I can't pray.

The Sea

Let the sea breeze blow through your every dream,
Let the seagull remember every song you sing.
Because you're in the land beyond my vision to see,
I've been awaiting you until the time you're free

Let the sea sand imprint your every step,
Let the pain pass you by, it's just the wave.
Because I'm somewhere beyond the horizon you see,
I've been waiting til the time you come to me.

Let the serene sky be your home to rest,
Let the ocean be your comfortable place.
Because you're in the land beyond my vision to see,
And I'm somewhere beyond the horizon to thee.

Thoro

See, please see the real me,
see what I'm really meant to be.

Not the pretty ornament I wear,
Not the pretty doll of all fair.

It's not the fairy tale beyond time,
It's not the stanza in the rhyme.

See, look at these scars on my skin,
See and feel my broken heart from within.

Time has gone, but pains remain,
To the earth I am just the vain.

Oh see, please see the real me,
Isn't that the sin God give to thee.

Wishes

Wish you were here,
to rescue me from my fear,
that keeps me in my tears,
that tortures me for years.

Wish I were there,
to show you that I care,
for all of the truth that it's fair,
you are the one whom can't be compared.
