Eyes On Me

Whenever sang my songs, on the stage, on my own.
Whenever said my words, wishing they would be heard.
I saw you smiling at me, was it real, or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner, of this tiny little bar.

My last night here for you, same old songs, just once more.
My last night here with you? Maybe yes, Maybe no.
I kind of liked it your way, how you shyly placed your eyes on me.
Oh~ did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

Darling~ so there you are, with that look on your face.
As if you're never hurt, as if you're never down.
Shall i be the one for you, who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown, then i will know that you are no dreamer.

So let me come to you, close as I want to be.
Close enough for me, to feel your heart beating fast.
And stay there as i whisper, how i loved your peaceful eyes on me.
Did you ever know, that i had mine on you?

Darling~ so share with me, your love if you have enough,
Your tears if you're holding back, of pain if that's what it is.
How can i let you know, i'm more than the dress and the voice.
Just reach me out then, you will know that you're not dreaming.
(Final Fantasy VIII/Nabuo Uematsu)

Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana,
Kia tere karohirohi i mua i tou huarahi.

May calm be spread around you,
may the sea glisten like greenstone and the shimmer of summer dance across your path.
(Famous Maori saying)

Scab and Matter Custard,
Snot and Bogey Pie,
Dead Dog's Giblets,
Green Cat's Eye,
Spread it in Bread, Spread it on thick,
Wash it all down,
With a Cup of Cold Sick.
( Children's rhyme, oral tradition)

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable

I have been learning how to die.

Giving up is what makes it permanent

It's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong
(R. Feynman)

Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present,
that's why it's a gift.

Yes, I now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams - that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. Since that period I have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight, half of anxiety...
For years your name never passed my lips, while my soul drank in, with a delirious thirst, all that was uttered in my presence respecting you.
(Edgar Allan Poe ~1809-1849~)

When our two souls stand up
erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing
nigh and nigher,
Until the lengthening wings
break into fire
At either curved point,
- what bitter wrong
Can the earth do us,
that we should not long
Be here contented! Think.
In mounting higher,
The angels would press on us and aspire
To drop some golden orb
of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence.
Let us stay Rather on earth,
Beloved
- where the unfit Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits,
and permit A place to stand and love in for a day...
(Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~1806-1861~)

Fated Children

Wake from your sleep, my children,
The childhood years (cradles) are gone.
Wake from your sleep, fated children,
The peace(rest) is gone.

Rise!
Search!
Go to the true garden,
The garden of vernal truth.

Fiery truth
Burn the evil world.
Fiery truth
Light the dark world.

Goodbye, children,
The day has died.
(Translation Of Liberi Fatali/Final Fantasy VIII)
