When the moon is just rising,

Where the moon's thread weaves shadows on the paths,
The heart, a thin garment, a flash in the ether,

The courts replied: “He’s banned.”
They cast him in...

Forget Him
Everyone says to forget him.
Whenever I talk randomly about him,
They say, "Move on! Let go! Forget him!"
Someone better will come, so let your heart swim.
It's not that I cling to the past we shared.
In fact,...

Stopping a few stairs below her

When You Return Home
When you return home after many years,
stepping onto familiar soil,
your heart stirs with bittersweet anticipation.
The sun-tinted house that once witnessed your dreams

A dragon roaring proud
So we were dashed, were broken
A nasty scar formed upon...

Stands the graceful woman, determined in every moment, for every soul,
She trembles slightly, like a bird waiting, gentle in her love,
Her story unfolds in blue echoes,...
