Ryuichi Sakamoto - Solitude
And for you,
Because...
You steal my heart
Capture my words
And posses my thoughts....
Solitude lingers.
A single note,
On the edge of a key.
Like your presence
When you are not with me.
A haunt to my sanity.
I feel your warmth
But you are not with me.
I hear your voice...
But you are not to hear me.
I am Only...
Quickly murmured Words,
Gentle While you sleep.
An Unspoken soft whisper,
A fragment of a dream.
Alone and pointless
Lingering, like solitude
On the edge of words
Hanging on to an over played key
Until....
With half a conscious smile towards me
You play that key into a melody

omg, I loved the music!

A lovely sensual, romantic post Hotei. It conjurs up the thoughts of love.
ReplyDeleteRicardo and Balqis spoke of music, but I didn't hear any music. Maybe it's my browser.
Thanks for such a nice comment :o)
DeleteAs for the music...I've only tested that it works on Chrome, there could be some issues with other browsers which might not allow the player under the the title to work properly :o(
Thanks again :o)
