Here upon a lonely day,
draped in vast miscellany,
an inkling all of vision's edge
crossed into a churning sea.

A drop from in my grasp did slip.
In it's reflection, ever bright,
there shines a tiny crystal lamp
glistening with a tiny light.

Joyous day that it's not just I
Who pours forth such poetic words
It would seem that many are so implored
To speak with the beauty of birds.

((Translation: At least I'm not the only one writing ballads here.))

[forsaken_kitty]

Alas, elaborate verse may pass
from the trembling touch of fate
This budding flower, this fragrant wind
carry here a heavenly state

((translation: I hope this ends soon.))

[lavenderglasses]

A heavenly state? No, not at all
But here's to hopes that the end
Will come and these words will fall
And damage done we can mend.

((translation: Indeed.))

Oh, my darling Ritsuka! My precious, most loved, most perfect Ritsuka!

The parchment that you touch reveals such an unearthly beauty, resembling my own...!

[forsaken_kitty]

If yet these words shall not cease,
If thunder steals our lips of sound,
Shall we again find our ease?
Shall we again find solid ground?

[our_beloved]

Worry not, my dearest Ritsuka. All will return to its former state, and your words will be once more granted their original, innocent beauty.

[forsaken_kitty]

Yet hereupon this autumnal land,
Little yet may stay my hand.

[book_wizard]

Such a saddness, such a shame
For simple love to have no name.

[trans: You too, huh?]

[forsaken_kitty]

That which causes tears to flow
beyond the river running may
One day blossom into dawn
And bring upon us Apollo's rays.

[translation: Unfortunately.]

[book_wizard]

But in the darkness, love still shines,
And then comes light and day!

[trans: Hopefully it will pass soon.]

[forsaken_kitty]

What light! A trumpeted delight!
Angels carried from the sky
Their wings vast, and dyed of clouds
Echo every mortal hour

Ritsuka-kun? What does mis... miscellany mean?
