Fallen leaves are soaring,
as if they make a silhouette of you
who loves Autumn.
Your fingers playing the cello
always show me
the picturesque landscape
of Autumn.
Your tones resounding in the room
always teach me
whispers of Autumn.
Fallen leaves are soaring.
We soak in Autumn.

You can choose reasons
to eat poisonous apples.
These reasons are creeping
around you,
as if a demon is trying
to bite your nape.
But you are never able to
make people choose
these reasons to eat these apples.
Your craving for vice
never infects people
who the sun hugs.
Your passion for hate
never cocoons people
who believe the sunrise.
