Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y0Y　
If you are in love with me...
私に恋をするなら...
You will listen avidly to my sweet voice,
with a rapt expression on your face.
とろけるような表情で あなたは
私の甘い声に聞きほれるのでしょう
Love is sweet like chocolates,
愛はチョコレートのように甘くって

お互いの愛を学ぶことが出来るわ

Time will tell.
時が おしえてくれる

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"
≪諺≫ "会わないでいると人の心はいっそう愛情が深くなる"

That's right.
そのとおりだわ
Love is a trying experience.
愛はつらい経験
If I'm still in love with him, if I started in to love him more...
もしもまだ 彼に恋してたら、彼をもっと愛し始めていた としたら...
what can I do?
どうしよう

I will nourish the fond hope again that I wanna be with him,
一緒になりたいという 儚い希望を また抱くのでしょう
with eternal love....
永遠の愛で....
Love is a great longing occasionally.
時に 愛は大きな切望
Love is everything to me.
私には愛がすべて

The Tanka poem is a traditional poem, simplicity, succinct and reflects nature with in your heart or the thought.

"Recollections sparkle permanently, and those things run repeatedly inside of my heart." or "Memories are everlasting sparkle those many images came and went in my mind's eye.", either sentence as you like.

Imagine me and you, I do
그대와 나의 모습을 상상해 봐요
I think about you day and night, it's only right
난 밤낮으로 그대만을 생각합니다.나는 그렇게 하고 있어요
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
사랑하는 여자를 생각하는 것
또 그녀를 꼬옥 껴안는 것은 좋은 일 일 수밖에 없어요
So happy together
우린 함께 이렇게 행복합니다

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
그대는 나의 것이라고 내게 말하고 내 맘을 어루만져 주는 그대
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
이 세상이 얼마나 근사하게 될 지 상상해 보세요.
So happy together
우린 함께 이렇게 행복합니다

I can't see me loving' nobody but you For all my life
내 평생 다른 누구도 아닌 그대를 사랑하는 내 모습이 보여요
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life
그대 나와 함께하면, 내 사랑 하늘은 언제나 온통 파랗기만 할 꺼예요
Me and you and you and me
나와 그대, 그리고 그대와 나
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
운명의 주사위가 어떻게 던져지든
The only one for me is you, and you for me
우린 이렇게 돼야만 했어요, 나에게 단 하나뿐인 이는 그대 그대에겐 나
So happy together
우린 함께 이렇게 행복합니다

Aquamarine

There once lived you in this ocean.
昔この海にあなたが住んでいた
옛날 이 바다에 당신이 살고 있었다

It might be a heaven on earth, for you...
それは地上の楽園だったかもしれないのに・・・
그것은 지상의 낙원이었을 지도 모르는데·

If you blend some tints of blue and a tinge of green, you'll get blue tints of tender green.
いくつかの青の色合いに ほんのりと緑を混ぜると
ほのかな緑の青色彩になる
몇개의 파랑의 색조 일본 김과 초록을 혼합하면
희미한 초록의 청색채가 된다

If you combine that tints and yourself, you'll get even Aquamarine color.
その色彩とあなた自身を結び一体化するのなら
いっそうアクアマリンの色になるわ
그 색채와 당신 자신을 묶어 일체화한다면
한층 더 아쿠아 마린의 색이 되어요

Because transparent colors such as you are rare.
あなたのような透き通った色はまれだもの
당신과 같이 투명한 색은 보기 드문 걸

flowing clear water
すらすらと　流れる透明な水
술술흐르는 투명한 물

Time heals all sorrows.
時がたてばあらゆる悲しみも癒される
시간이 경과하면 모든 슬픔도 치유된다

When tears come to your eyes, they surely will be a round Aquamarine.
あなたの目に涙が浮かぶ時、
きっと 丸い形したアクアマリンになるのね
당신의 눈에 눈물이 떠오를 때,
반드시 둥근 형태 한 아쿠아 마린이 되는 군요

under the eye of heaven...
太陽の下で・・・
태양아래에서··

under the blue sky...
青い空の下で・・・
푸른 하늘아래에서···

I want to be your colors in your place.
あなたのいる場所で　あなたの色になりたい
당신이 있는 장소에서 당신의 색이 되고 싶다

Poem by Mariko

Nobody's perfect

DNA	The human being is limited. Just because Mr. So-and-so is materially well off, it doesn't follow that Mr. So-and-so is free from all cares.

Nobody's perfect

What is needed, what is good, and what is bad. Happy with effort or Life without effort It is the order of nature

Nobody's perfect

poem by Mariko

The holy sword

The holy sword - true enemy -

(image processing)

Nobody knows what may happen tomorrow. A holy sword showed my true enemy to me.

Man is a creature of impulse.
Vortex of light revealed truth, jealousy... the hatred, the dread, then the heart fall under the control of evil emotions by the laws of nature, those evil spirits are all from inside the heart.

My true enemy is myself!

It showed repentance to me and that may be my greatest sin.
Ah, it says, "Pardon and set those free from the mind. Love your enemies." to me.

The holy sword is not a wound to human beings.
It is the emblem of justice or love.

I want to believe that sword will shine light into these important parts of my life, to help my experience remorse and a genuine desire for forgiveness.

So, to you as well, and in unconditional love for all of us.

Notice:
That phrase "Love your enemies" is quotation from Bible (Love thine enemy) and my favorite phrase, but I have no religious belief and no religious education. Of course, I don't belong to a religious body whatever. Please don't misunderstand me. However, I can say, "May God grant you pardon and fill you with God's peace." for you.

- True Love -

Love is always patient and kind.

It is never jealous.

Love is never boastful or conceited.

It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful.

Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth.

It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.

P.S:
It's got quotes from my favorite movie(A WALK TO REMEMBER -[2002]) and quotes by famous people. In any case, I wish you to be happy. Good luck!

Age is just a number

Wallpaper - Poetry was just written in the background (image poem for wallpaper). A dream play By Mariko : Poetry

space-time (time & space) simple

We live in time and space.

Age is nothing but just a number,

that only counting and distance in earthly space.

There is short dream in comparison with the universe of great distances.

No matter how difficult throughout your life.

It is all over in a moment, too.

Rose (pink) - American Tanka

a rose drenched with drops of love. a sensual sweet melody. the interior of a bud is swollen to bursting on you

--- Otometubaki ---

*Scientific Name: Camellia japonica var. (pink) (decumbens) *Japanese common Name: cv.[*Otometsubaki] (Maiden Camellia)

*The language of flower: - moderate merit, grace of bearing, charm, discreet

(When in love, maiden heart now leaps and now wavers.)

I have got a telephone call from my boyfriend late at night.
He said to me, "I'm gonna pick you up at our usual sea soon, just because I wanna be with you,.. with you always.".

Oh! yes, I am very pleased!

I still remember that excitement I knew when I first met him in here.
We fell in love with each other the first sight, and my heart fluttered in anticipation.

So do not say that "love is blind", please.

Because this calm sea of midnight is as smooth as glass reflecting lovers and all the minds put together.
He and I know all about each other's senses already. That is why I want to see him as soon as possible.

Perhaps I love myself in love...

Ah, the thought gives me palpitations.

poem by Mariko

Mystique

Botanical name :
Magnolia liliflora (Magnolia, Alexander) 木蓮【もくれん】
The language of flowers :
natural love, (自然の愛) durability,(持続性) staying power(持続力)

Mystique

A conspicuous magnolia with a ray of light. That's me!
Mysterious faint smile for you.
It's like a brightness of ancient purple or violet in the twilight.

You know about all that glitters is not only gold, I suppose.
A transient brightness is nothing but as a means to an end, so similar to worldly passions.
The more one has, the more one wants.

Repetitious things set nothing limits.
Human passions will get nothing by having desired happiness, I tell you.

.....

Listen, Can you see? I'm inside of petals with my spirit.

I want you to get a flash of hope while that give out light, and then I'll give you full love to act for me.
When you stayed apart from me for a long time or so, you'll come to get a feel for the inside of me, I dare say.

However, everything is shroud in mystery until you realize the truth.

That's what I'm here for.

神秘性

ひとすじの光にひときわ異彩を放つ木蓮(もくれん)、それは私
神秘的かすかな微笑みをあなたに
それは黄昏時の深紅色か青紫の輝きのように

輝くものすべてが金だけじゃないって事、知ってるよね
一時的な輝き鮮明さは目的達成の一手段に過ぎないのと同様に またこの世の欲望(煩悩)と似ている
一つ持てば、もう一つときりがなく
繰り返す物事は限界を定められない
望ましい幸福をもっていても 人の欲に得るものは何もないってことよ

・・・・・
ねえ、見える？　魂と共に私は花弁の内側にいる

その光を放つと同時に一瞬の希望を掴んでほしい、そうして あなたに満ちた愛を委ねるわ
長い間も私から離れて居たから、私の本心についての 気持ち 感じとれるよね

けれども、真実に気づくまで すべては謎に包まれてる

だから私はここにいるのよ
