Maple Leaf

From a hillside
from a forest
by a soft hand
is picked up
this leaf-shaped heart
Perhaps it has no deep meaning
but a mark hit by frost
This reminds me
of a dusk a shade of forest
from a small mouth that wanted to say but stopped again
from my shoulder
the afterglow that was gently blown away
and now comes back to heart
especially heavy
I may deny this piece of maple leaf
deny it, like rejecting a kind of intimacy
However henceforth
whenever the wind blows
I always can't help turning my head
listening to the helpless tremble on your twigs

 Your stray bullet
 When I think of you
 Untitled
 Unbreakable Foe
 Two sides
 Truly are a star
 Tomorrow is another day
 Tiny soldiers
 The Thief
 The Scenic Route
 The Message
 The Game
 Talking to the mirror
 Someone Just Like You
 She Doesn't Get It
 School Ends
 Rewind
 Rainbow
 Pretend it never happened
 Our beloved tyrants
 Only God knows when
 One Wish
 One wish
 Ode to the Green
 October Leaves
 My silent cry
 My Lucid Dream
 My Fav. Color is green
 My dream
 Misery in the Heart
 Maybe this will be the morning
 Maple Leaf
 Like an angel, you're wonderful
 Life
 Keeping a Night Sky Alive
 Its Over and She's Gone
 If She Only Knew
 If i could be..
 Idle Before the Motionless Lights
 I will come to you
 I long for the day
 I hope it's you
 I have never seen farther than you
 I Hate You
 I can't seem to let you go
 I call my thoughts
 How happy she made us
 Home
 Girl of the Wind
 From point A to point B
 For you
 Far and Near
 Falling leaves
 Everything good goes away in the end
 Eraser
 Empty Hallway
 Don’t you ever
 Deja Vue
 Clones
 Being a Man
 Appreciate Beauty, Appreciate Life
 Angel in Disguise
 A Woman's Smile
 A Road So Covered in Snow
 A Dreamer, in years to come
