Buonanotte~still night

It is so still, so still tonight,
there is no sound at all--
No tapping on a windowpane,
no footsteps in the hall,
no barking dog or screeching cat,
no rustle of a windy leaf,
no raindrops overhead...

It is so still, so still tonight,
I lie beneath my covers
with my little pillow to my ear,
and my breathing and my heartbeat
are the only sounds I hear.

Buonanotte~colours

Night is here, and night is there,
and night is all around,
I feel its presence everywhere,
and yet it makes no sound.

And, so its time to close my eyes,
and dream the night away,
until the sun lights up the skies,
and welcome back the day.

Yet, I can hardly close my eyes.
There is a query in my mind--

What happens to the clolours when night replaces day?
What turns the wrens to ravens,
the trees to shades of grey?

Who paints away the garden when the sky's a sea of ink?
Who robs the sleeping flowers of their purple and their pink?

What makes the midnight clover quiver black upon the lawn?
What happens to the colours?
What brings them back at dawn?

Buonanotte~stars


A million candles fill the night,
they glisten in the dark,
and though by day they hide their glow,
now each displays its spark.

Amidst them all,
they is one light that has a special shine,
and that's the one whose name i know...
I think that it knows mine, too.

Buonanotte~103 sheeps


I'm AWAKE, I'm AWAKE!
I cannot shut my eyes,
I'm unable to sleep, though I've made many tries.

I'm sure I've explored every inch of my bed,
my body's exhausted,
and so is my head.

I wiggle, I fidget,
I tumble, I twist,
I pound my poor pillow with fist after fist.

I stopped counting sheep
when I reach hundred and three.
I'm still awake! I'm awake!
I wonder why I cannot fall asleep...

自言自语之水灾篇

raining day~
糖子:喂,缺德的!干吗把小孩子给弄哭?
蜗牛:呼?!什么嘛?我又没干过什么事儿来...谁整哭他啦?
糖子:真有你的。他这哭法,都可把我给淹死了。你自己干的好事,自己来给我好好收拾残局!
蜗牛:诶,你好歹也告诉告诉我,我到底做过什么对不起这小孩子的事呗?一头雾水...
糖子:自己做过什么来还要让我来告诉你?!真服了你!不知道原因,总该知道怎么让他停下来,收起他的眼泪吧?
蜗牛:这嘛...顽固得要命的小孩子一旦哭起来,可真不好让他停止啊...
糖子:......他这么一直不停不停地哭,恐怕还真会”积泪成灾”。这水患一来,我这不食不识水的家伙,岂不难保我这一条命?你这蜗牛,可别想着把身子栽进窝里头就啥事也没有~~
蜗牛:呼呼...我这窝的用处确实可不少。要不,看看这窝究竟可盛得了多少的泪呗...
糖子:......

虚无


我在梦境中
叫醒我吧

我启程离去的时辰就快到了

是的
心儿乏累了
梦境中完美无缺陷的一切
使得心儿乏累了

于是我厚着脸皮前来拜托你
乞求你务必叫醒我
就像吞灭一切的死亡一样
就像将人卷走的风暴一样
请你撕开我的睡眠 抢走我的梦
拜托你了
