Poem for Takeshi

[haydee]

Hi again,

what a silly message i wrote last week!! Sorry!
But i was really frustrated, because there are so many Takeshi fan-pages in japanese, chinese, taiwanese etc. and i don´t understand a word!
I have to say it again: I was born in the wrong country!
But now i want to publish a poem, which i wrote for Takeshis last birthday.
I sent it to our honourable webmaster, but she didn´t published it yet....
This is for you, Takeshi....

Dreaming Takeshi

Even though the world
sometimes comes down on me
Takeshi still lies dreaming in my room
He smiles softly
as if everything is in the right place
looking sensual and calm
always taking care of me.
His strange close face
reminds me to keep my faith
in beauty and mystery
He looks like somebody
who lives in a dream
I don´t know this dream
but I love the way he is dreaming it
and how he looks real and unreal
at the same time
He is going to change
because changes are what life is about
and he is human just like me
although he seems to be made in heaven
But looking at him
changes are out of sight
for just one moment
And in my room
Takeshi will be like he was
when I first saw him
Forever dreaming

Wow, what a pretty poem haydee. I love it! You should write more poems. Or post some of what u have......

[kris]

Hi Kami, Hi Kris

thank you so much for your applause.
I wasn´t sure if anybody would like what I wrote about Takeshi, but I just wanted to try it.
I like writing very much, but rather diary. My last poem I wrote many years ago.
But Takeshi inspires me that much...the next poem for him is in preparation....
And I can´t deny, I hope "the one and only T." will read it too.....
yours sincerely
Haydee

Hello Haydee,

that was a lovely poem, i wish I could write just as well!

[kris]

you're welcome haydee. that really is a beautiful poem and if mr. kaneshiro ever comes here and reads it, i'm sure he'll be very touched by the gesture.......or maybe he already has.....

i'm looking forward to reading that next one so keep working on it.

Nice work Haydee. Ever consider entering or speak your poems in open mike settings?

[haydee]

Hi cewpie-chan,

Good question! From time to time I ask myself the same. But: No, never!
I´m an extremly shy and critical person, when it comes to show my inner thoughts and feelings, although it seems easy for me, to put them in words. It always takes very long, until I´m courageous enough, to risk something.
It took months, until I became a member of this forum and more months, until I made my first post. But it´s a good feeling, to be welcome.
I will do it again.....
regards

Haydee

PS: what a nice four-liner at the end of your message!

[kewpie-chan]

hey i totally understand. I thought a long time before joining the forum but you know, everyone here is nice and supportive and funny to boot And I have been writing poems on/off since high school when something moves me....whether that be something good or bad. The last 3 poems in my book I've had many people tell me I should submit it to be published or at least speak in an open mike setting but OMG! I'd be too embarrassed The last one of course was inspired after watching Takeshi-san in a J-drama and having a vivid dream a few days afterwards. If I can remember where I put it, I'll post it on here and lemme know what you think

And thanks for noticing my 4-liner! A good friend of mine gave that to me after 9/11 to boost my spirits up...I try to "live" by it since life is too short, ya know?

That's a really sweet poem. You're a good poet Haydee.

[kewpie-chan]

Haydee, I found it!
Awhile back, had a vivid dream of Takeshi-san. It seemed so real thatI was disoriented for awhile when I woke up. For the rest of the day, couldn't focus on my work so I took pen to paper and put what I was feeling into this poem.
Note to Takeshi-san (if he ever reads it): kono poem wa nihongodewa arimasenga, douka eigo de kokoro no kimochiga tsutaeruyouni to omotteimasu. Yoroshiku.

MIDSUMMER DREAM

You loved me for awhile,
Who could not love me long;
You gave me wings of gladness
And lent my spirit song.

You loved me for an hour,
But only with your eyes;
Your lips I could not capture
By storm or by surprise.

Your mouth that I remember,
With rush of sudden pain;
As one remembers starlight
Or roses after rain...

Out of a world of laughter
Suddenly I am sad...
Day and night it haunts me,
The kiss I never had.

Here's a loony one. It's translation from Russsian, in Russian it's a bit better.

The moon is somewhat too bright tonight.
It leaves us no chance to escape from selves, it seems.
Friend, you - there, me – here, lit by this light –
Let’s sit for a while, smoke and think.

Let’s think about how things stand,
Let’s think about inner void and pain.
Dropping the ash, the hand slightly shakes.
You’re right, I’m eating my heart out for my friends.

Soon there’ll be a new dawn and a new day,
We’ll gather our strength and come out to fight anew.
But now we’re too relaxed to put out our cigarettes,
Friend, it will be o.k., of our fate we are masters true.

Stars are blinking, it’s time to part, the night’s turning grey.
Brother, thank you, now I’ll last through thin and thick.
When the moon shines this way again,
Come out – we’ll sit for a while, smoke and think.
