Melodies of Life

- 1 -
Inspired by Melodies of Life by Emiko Shiratori and an infatuation that was never requited.




Your voice sings to me
Like a harmonized melody
Accompanied by the musical notes
Coming from the keys of the piano.

Flowing its way
Like water in a river,
Smoothly entering my soul,
Like sediments
Deposited on the meander
Where it stays there
On the bent forever.

Gently vibrating throughout my mind
Like plucking the strings of the cello.
Gently dissolving into
The pockets in my head,
Making me go fuzzy.

Every word you say
Hums serenely into the
Back of my ear,
Touching my eardrums then
Bouncing off, sinking into my heart
Where I keep my
Melodies of Life
Safe and Sound.

How I wish to the stars
On nights when the sea is calm
That the keys of my piano
Would unlock your heart
When you listen to my
Melodies of Life.
