SECOND COMPOSITION Le vent express ~express train of the wind~
the train came out of the tunnel,
running alongside the sparkling coast
a chance encounter,
a woman whose name I still know not...
{in your eyes,
how far will the reflections of this landscape continue to stretch?}
we were on that train,
flowing with the wind
more and more we increased our speed
as if uniting with this pulsation...
{I did not realize the reason of your journey
similarly,
you seemed not to know of mine}
the girl stared out of the window the entire time
at the station,
in sight of the emerald green sea,
I felt the wind die down for one moment
as the girl was guided by the sea,
she disappeared from in front of me
now, a new wind began to blow in my heart
and then, I was alone again, running towards...
THIRD COMPOSITION emeraude ~enchanted by the sea~
{a girl with emerald green eyes...}
what were you staring at in that emerald green sea?
could you have been gazing upon an
illusion between the crashing of the waves?
you seemed to be approaching someone's origins
as you stepped lightly upon the sand
at about this time, within the sunlight...
I lost my vision from the glare
as light trickled from the sky and onto the nape of my neck
everything seemed to dissolve in the same way
in an incandescent world,
are both the body and the heart to be given up completely?
I did not know the motives behind your journey
only my thoughts continued to flourish
emeraude
~you were enchanted by that sea~
emeraude
~I was enchanted by your eyes~
