i ask mySelf why,
but hAVe no answErs, just ***.
now i reMembEr.
Thats right, I took it!
Take it back if you want to,
I'll wait as you try.
If I could reach you one more time,
I'd tell you all is forgiven.

If I could see you one more time,
Your beauty would not be lost on me.

If I could hold you one more time,
I'd never let go.

If I could love you one more time,
Our flame would never go out.

If I could trust you one more time,
My frozen heart would melt.

If only I could...
Will I be a treasure chest?
Or will I be a boat?
Will I be a creaky door,
where someone hangs their coat?

I could be a camp-fire,
shining bright for all,
but I still have some growing to do...
One day I'll be tall.
If I was granted just one wish,
for how we'd spend our lives,
I'd have to give it so much thought,
till perfect plans arrive.

We could be lovers on the wing,
soaring through the air,
but I think flight is overrated,
there's lots more we could share.

We could be swingers in the trees,
laughing with the chimps.
I'm sure we'd be entertained,
but there's so much more to glimpse.

We could see the great savannah,
stampeding cross the plains,
being one with mother nature,
but I'm sure we'd be drained.

I think we're more like little otters,
splashing playfully.
Holding hands we rock to sleep,
we'll never drift at sea.
Sitting by the window,
Staring at the sky,
Life's not much fun for house cats,
Forever stuck inside.

Little birds up in the trees,
Look like a tasty treat,
I see friends and enemies,
Ill never get to meet.

Giants seem to come and go,
Through things that they call doors,
They make them work with things called hands,
I'm stuck here with these paws.

One day I'll break out of here,
I'll make a dash and hide,
Life's not much fun for house cats,
Forever stuck inside.
Look at me for I go now,
Look before I slip to the black.
Let your eye reflect what your tongue cannot,
Treasure the pain…oh so tragic,
Feel it,
Embrace it,
Passing slowly through your dreams,
I must go now,
You must let me go now,
Hold me in your eyes forever,
You shall see as I saw,
Life pauses for no traveller,
Just get there when you can.
Fana no iro Fa
uturi ni keri na
itadura ni
waga mi yo ni Furu
nagame sesi ma ni


The colour of this flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life goes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.
Dear you,

Sometimes I'm sad.
Understand that sometimes,
I may push you away.
I might even say that I just need some time,
or some space.
Don't listen to me.
Push back.

Sometimes I can be so very happy.
Understand that I may talk a mile a minute,
I may stumble over my words.
I might even lose my breath,
and have to take a moment to catch it.
I'm just happy about something.
Enjoy it with me.

Sometimes I may even possibly get angry.
Sometimes I'm forgetful.
Sometimes I'm not even sure what I'm feeling.
Sometimes I'm just numb, to everything.

I'm only human.

....And the oppressors, and the oppressed,
  
will link arms
            
                and Storm down heavens' door,

And ask

      ..... what have you done?
