Whatermelon - When the spring was young (started 01/12/2013, finished 4/12/2013)
1
There's almost no one left to speak
About this tale of the past
A distant memory growing weak
Being swept away, to oblivion cast
2
There was once in a fairy land
The most beautiful love story
Between this ordinary man
And extraordinary oni
3
During the happy spring they met
To nevermore become astray
From breaking dawn till the sunset
Hands tight together they would play
4
And when the shroud of night would come
They had no need to fear the dark
One would be never found alone
For they shared but a single heart
5
The spring inside them was so young
They had not even learned to doubt
Believing each other, they've sung
A vow to walk the right same route
6
They said "I'll never go away"
The kind of promise children make
"Together with you, day by day"
Such words so pure they could not fake
7
And so this fairy tale says
Two different shadows turned to one
Brought close together by the fates
Like sky and earth they had become
8
The changing wind of seasons blew
As if to tell just this one thing:
About their future, no one knew
Neither of them, neither the wind
9
Though nowadays there's no one left
To speak assured of this old song
The vows they made have not bereft
They grew together, proud and strong
10
And there an oni and human was
That held each other very close
Whose care and trust were never lost
Their noble feeling rose and rose
11
While holding hands they did a plead
To never make the other cry
"An oni in tears would be quite sad
Than watching this, I'd rather die"
12
And so this lovely story tells
Two distant hearts that became one
Holding their vows, for them tolled bells
Happier than them, there was no one
13
He gave her bracelets fashioned gold
And colored ribbons to her hair
She gave him everything most bold
And also everything most fair
14
"Now let us laugh, now let us run"
And through the world they made their way
They learned to love the moon and sun
And have made love to make their day
15
And many men and women were
Embraced together in their lace
Their bright red passion was furor
That charmed all people with its grace
16
But the wind blew, and years gone by
One day she found herself alone
The moon at night said it was time
For her beloved come back to home
17
But when she found him, it was bad
His body was not more the same
The oni saw the blood run red
And in despair she screamed his name
18
This tragic tale does not tell
How came to be of such sad fate
Was it a creature out of hell
That closed forever their love's gate?
19
All that she knew while gazed him dead
Was that their promise was undone
She felt destroyed, completely sad
And all her happiness was gone
20
"You liar! Traitor! Broke your vow!"
She roared in pain, and the sky fell
"Our bond you killed, our trust you plowed..."
"You're more a monster than myself!"
21
"You frail tiny human, weak!"
The whole earth crumbled by her hand
"That single promise could not keep!?"
His corpse was eaten by the land
22
But soon her words became a ghost
That echoed faintly in the night
She lost it all she cared the most
She lost her final ray of light
23
She felt so tiny, weak and small
She was a child lost in the dark
She had no strength even to crawl
She had not anymore her heart
24
Nor anymore she could exist
Her very soul lost now to fears
Her body turning into mist
And there in her cold eyes...were tears
Author: This poem was heavely inspired by this music 嘘と慟哭 / Uso to Doukoku, from RD-Sounds and ふぉれすとぴれお (Forestpireo). But, mostly, it was the singer, ランコ (Ranko), and her marvelous expression that inspired me to do this. After hearing her singing this song, I had to create something out of the intense emotion I've felt. The name of the poem is Watermelon, since Suika, in Japanese, can mean Watermelon.

Behind my mask (4/12/2013)
Behind my neverbending smile
Behind the vain facade I fake
I am this creature made of bile
This neverending pit of hate
\
My only joy is being vile
My ony pleasure is to rape
Excruciating pain, my style
Whatever I dislike...I break!
\
But I will hold the truth inside
With all my strength, I will that hide
Cause if one day I let it free
\
There would be nothing left to see
The whole world would be brought to death
The only thing to last...my laugh
