"Promise" 温もりが冷めた私の手に 春を握り返してくれた 希望の光を失った目に 眩しい命を吹き込んだ 枯れ果てた地の果てで迷っていると どこからかあなたが救いの手をくれた いつも傍に居るよだから何も恐くないから どんなに遠くに離れても僕の愛は君の物 愛する君のためならば海を越えて飛んで行く だから笑顔を絶やさないで 明日を信じて欲しい 闇に犯されたこの体 あなたの愛が媚薬のように 深く埋もれていた感情が 鳥のように羽ばたき始める 天罰に囚われてた自由を あなたの鍵が開放してくれた いつも傍に居るよだから君は一人じゃない どんな寒い風の中も僕の愛が君を守る 愛する君に会えるのなら砂漠を越えて走り続ける だから涙を恐れないで 明日を信じて欲しい いつも傍に居るよだから何も恐くないから どんなに遠くに離れても僕の愛は君の物 愛する君のためならば海を越えて飛んで行く だから笑顔を

Letters ~愛の言葉~ 彼からのお誕生日レター 6-16-03 Well, obviously this is not a card (b-day card) cause the cards I saw pretty much sucked to me. They need to establish cards for brothas to help explain how we feel. Its ten o'clock at night and I've washed my ass, made my food for lunch and I'm ready for bed when I get tired. Okay now how should I start this (my writing sucks by the way). First Happy

"Heavy Tears" 愛される事が 重荷になるなんて 思いもしなかった 愛される事が 辛いことだなんて 思いもしなかった 泣かれて私は少しビビって 少し私は引いてしまった 自分に向けられたあなたの涙が 去る私の背を牙のように突き刺さった 嬉しいはずの事をそんな風に思った時 冷めた女だって私は自分を恐れた でも数時間後飛行機に乗って 更に数時間後雲の上で 私はあなたの眼を思い出しては 一人で涙をポロポロ流していた。

"Morning Walk" 寒い朝イーストリバー沿いを 歩いて私は思った。 一度しかない人生を どう生きるかって選ぶ瞬間が さっきの私 今の私 後での私に 幾度となく問いかける 選択の余地がない様で 実はその瞬間ごとに私は 何もしない事を選んでる。 何を恐れているんだろう。 何が私を止めるのだろう。 ヨーク・アベニューを歩いて 私は知らぬ間に 通り越すゴミを眺めながら 知らぬ間に私は 何かをゴミの山から探してた 前を歩く女性のバッグを見て 私は何かを盗もうとしていた 通りすがりの車を見て 私は飛び乗ろうとしていた そんな寒い朝を空腹で過ごし 私は少しだけ犯罪者の気持ち 彼らの犯罪の動機ってモノを 理解したように思えた。 レキシントンに着いて 家の鍵をポケットから取り出し ヒーターの掛かった部屋の中 私は次の瞬間を待ち、

My 9-11 Tribute poems...(from 9.11.02) "The Greatest Question" beneath the rubles and dust of modernity, civilization mourns sacrifices made thus far as the day breaks in to a solemn silence whaling sounds of bag pipes invite all tears life, love, respect, charity, and peace martyred like fallen soldiers of war now lay pedestaled deep in the grounds where are we to travel from here

"Do you love me?" you don't have to tell me you love me everyday but still I ask you all the time if you love me more today its not that I feel insecure its not cause I am needy but when you say "love" and my name together your lips curl and pucker making my stomache tingle so I ask you every morning I ask you every night to tell me how much you love me and I always ask you why.

｢正直に好きと言えない日」 大好きなあなたの手に触られて いつもは嬉しいのに何故か 今日はとっても息苦しい 狭い家のせいなのか 分からないけど少しだけ ちょっとそっとして置いて あなたの愛に覆われて いつもは幸せに思うのに 今日は重荷に感じちゃう 目を避け、手を除け、背中向け あなたと距離を置く そんな自分が勝手過ぎて 自分が嫌いになるぐらい あなたの愛を受け止められない ちょっとずつあなたそうやって 傷付けている。

"why ME?" 淋しがり屋で嫉妬深い そんな私がなんで好き？ 口うるさくて喧嘩っ早い そんな私の何が良い? 自分でも「嫌な女」って思う時 あなたの愛を疑ってしまう そんな時あなたは 大きな腕を広げて 一途で素直な私 純粋で寛大な私が好き 「本当にお前はいい女」 なんて本気で言うから 信じちゃうじゃん... そうかも私！って。 純粋じゃない、単純なだけ そんな事も分かってない あなたは何も分かってない。

"The taste of Hawaii" When I kiss your soft, sweet lips, I remember the night we met in Waikiki, and feel the ocean breeze that caressed my body. We stood by the water and kissed forever...like there was no tomorrow and we were the only two people on this earth.
