The Universal Language

(This poem is dedicated to my beloved students Chitose and Yuzuki as well as to the whole family. English is the universal language, they say, it is through this language that people use to communicate from different parts of the world. But more than the English language, it is the language of love, friendship, careContinue reading “The Universal Language”

The Unknown Fellow

Down and down in the dark pitI found a strange fellow;It has everything to saybut cannot speak nor mumble soundIt has long large wingsbut didn’t have the will to flyIt has pure good heartbut never beat at once. Down and down in the hot pitthis little fellow dwelt,Soundlessly singing the tragedy of life; blindly soaringContinue reading “The Unknown Fellow”

I Hate You My Love

There was always that light twinkling in each star at the heart of dead nightThere was always that music on the deafening silence in my empty roomThere was always that pleasure traveling in every pages of my thick old books.Then there you came my loveOffered me company and comfort, But not long as the painContinue reading “I Hate You My Love”

Undeniably Beautiful

She does not wear white fabric on her skinBut the blood that runs through her veinis as red as the blood that supports every being.Her nose is one pinch behindBut it does breath the same fresh airwhen flowers come in full bloom.Her long dark hair may not tell the storyof the great golden hourBut itContinue reading “Undeniably Beautiful”
