Epilogue 3

the ozone layer protects
hearts

from greed, rude and
hate

but the mind destroys
it

we're going home for
nothing

Humans Are Creatures

humans are creatures
who think that they are
on the side of justice
if their own interest
is involved
and fulfilled

just few memories
lies

in afternoon of June
alone

jasmines no more bloom
no more

around graveyard gradually
colder

the clear line
October sky
without a single cloud
he was amazed
by her tremendous spell
of inspiration and imagination

Prologue 14

after a horse journey
through a dreamlike desert
the sky-pearl touched the edge
in lace just seemed to be the feverish eyes

Prologue 12

the Blue Rose
had the revelation that
while the other instruments
played for every flowers
the Glass Guitar
played for her alone

Everyone Shall Taste Death

everyone shall taste death
those who put their trust
only in peace and justice
this life of the world
is only an amusement
and a play

Prologue 11

ephemeral splendor
of another dawn
that would never return
the mere idea
of having to decorate
for wedding ceremony
seduced shy princess

Epilogue 4

you feel asleep in a big toy
box

the air, the water, the ground
say

let's go and find the true
way

or you want to do a delicately
suicide
