I berated her
But she was stronger than me

I put pressure on her
But she was always magnificent

I judged her harshly
But she was always right

I tried to control her
But we both wanted freedom

I made her weep
But she made me see

I kept her locked away
But she survives

I tried to quiet her
But she sang, she danced

I asked her to take the lead
She said there's none to take

I mistrusted her
She waited patiently

I wore my checkered suit
She wore nothing but jewels

I spoke to her timidly
And she answered eagerly

I invited her in
And we arrived.

Never does any one get the world completly for himself.
When I lay myself to sleep
When actually I want to weep
That’s when I close my eyes
and say a silent prayer
while teardrops falling sideways.

When you are sad or distressed that’s the time that you need a silent prayer

water drips. metal clangs.
The world swirls in floaters
in the edges of my eyes almost
visible like God but not quite.
I blink and write my soul down
word for word and try to be real.
All I ever am is almost a disease.
I love for moments but never more.

When I was a young boy
My greatest wish was to be a star
Not a star as in a celebrity
But an actual star above your head
In the sky
Like nature’s best
I’ve always yearned
To be free
A beacon of light
Standing tall
So full of love
A clear path for others to seek
Guiding light shines so bright
A refuge for those enduring much pain
To be someone’s wishes
If I can reach for whatever
It will reach for me too.....
Nothing has changed!

Invariably,
You prefer to come
To me in the dark.
"You're more my temperature then,"
You once said.
I'm not much of a thermometer,
But I am the eurythmy
To each syllable you give
In such settled shadow.
A play of murmurs and fingertips,
You once named this.
Always I see a wreath in your hair,
In colors of Persia,
Textures of night,
And the soft blended lines
Of you I know
Infallibly.
Vespertine - occurring in the evening.

I just want to escape from the Earth
Then cry overnight above the Mars

Mars is colder than the Earth
It is a better place to come and cry
Because why do I cry in a warm place
Because why do I grieve between blooming flowers

Earth is a symbol of life
Yet why I feel dead when everybody calls it day
Deity bestows Earth the splendid mother nature of life
Yet why I still suffocate while other humans are breathing

I don’t think Earth created for me
Mars's coldness is what I need
Let me hug Mars for a night
Forgetting what I have on the Earth
I hope you hadn't given up yet, Itou.
