My blog name may sound strange in English. The reason is it comes from Japanese. It has a special significance to me which involves an ex girlfriend, travel across the world and around one hundred and thirty hours of TV.
The Japanese Kanji for hakka no togame is 白霞罸.
Never much liked to kiss, but I found something in the taste of your lips,
delicate and sweet and light,
and yet full of your depth,
Now you are gone, how can I go on?, I can’t even describe my feelings,
fleeting and elusive and subtle,
and beyond words and yet deeply real,
Dream like memories, reality had overwhelmed all my sense,
Days and months and years pass, alone
Now I find I yearn for your kiss
A story of time,
As seasons pass,
Of dream-like
Love;
A teacher of heartbreak, which breaks hearts, and
Sadness;
Distance from intimacy and intimacy with distance,
With subtlety time paints,
Portraits.
Prompt: Christmas
Device: Acrostic
Christmas tree, standing free
Oh so bright twinkling like starlight
Sitting underneath with wrapping so neat
Your gift and my gift, waiting patiently
Last night I had a dream about a girl I loved. Let’s call her L.
I don’t remember the details of the dream, only that I saw her; and we were together, at least for a short spell.
