Stay With Me

How will you know
that I love you
if you won't
...stay with me.

Give me a chance
and let me show
how much I love you so
...stay with me.

Mountain Road

We're going up
they're going down
oh, this mountain road
up and down we go
exchanging bows
exchanging smiles
only in summer
for the peach.

My Fear

I'm afraid
I can feel
no more pain
I'm afraid
I can cry
no more tears
I'm afraid
I can no longer sigh
I'm afraid...
I can say
...goodbye.

Nameless Snake

I saw a snake
it was long and fat
I wanted to name the snake
but I didn't know
if it was he or she
and the snake went away
still...nameless.

For The Love Of You

For the love of you
I will live beyond eternity
even when death comes
I will rise
above the mountain
of the dead...
for the love
...of you.

A Hungry Soul

A hungry soul
makes the body
hungry of everything.

Feed the soul
and see
how the body
becomes satisfied
with even just
a little of everything.

At This Time Of My Life

I know
someday you will forget me
but still...
I want you to think of me
to see me
to touch me
to hear me
to cherish me
at this time
...of my life.

To Insult Me

You saved my life
you helped me in many of my crisis
you've given me a place in this world
but it doesn't mean
you are already free
....to insult me.

In My Heart, There Is Only You

in the mountain
there are trees
in the sea
there are fishes
in the garden
there are flowers
in the sky
there is the sun
in my heart
there is only YOU.

Beauty

you don't have to travel the whole world
to find beauty...
a single flower
or a tree
or even a strand of the grass
is beauty
and you can find it everywhere.
