Black Butterfly

Black butterflies suddenly appear. 
Beating the wings in the air. 
I am dreaming, not aware. 
Shadows darkens the atmosphere. 

Bad dream awakens me. 
Beating sounds encircle me 
I couldn’t help but fear. 
Black butterflies fly in the air. 

In their mouth, holding my soul. 
Fly away from the windowsill. 
Dull and lonely, I feel. 

Darkness, emptiness, I could not resist. 
Like walking alone in  black forest. 
Black butterflies took away my spirit. 
There is only nothing left.

Out of the Box

What is  interesting inside the box?
Keep you staying there for so long.
Is it fear?
Is it unconfidence?
It's time to go out.

Let the light come in.
Let the sun shine over the shadow.
Get out of the box.
Get rid of the box.
And you will find,
Beautiful things are waiting for you.

Hide

Hide and seek.
I hide.
But no one seek me.

I, wait, wait, and wait.
But no one seek me.
Only I seek them.

I, seek, seek, and seek.
But there's no one around.
They leave and go.

Everyone forgets about me.
Only I remember them.

I try, try, and try.
Try to know why.
But no one answers why.
No one wants to answer why.

Lonely Winter Route

On the rugged route, I walked alone.
The petals, leaves fade away on roads.
The light is far away at the front.
Still the dreams dream in the dark.
 
The fireflies fly beside me
Making the little warmth beholds me,
Melting the winter tears on my face
In the roar of winter wind.
