Cir, a non-native English poet
@cirpoemel.bsky.social
I am a non-native speaker of English, but let me write poems using English words here, because that could be fun (sometimes the grammar might not be that of English). I also write poems in Japanese: @cirpoem.bsky.social

"Grumpy"

I am in a bad mood this morning,
because I couldn't see you while I was sleeping,
and you didn't even appear in my dreams!

"It means"

When I say I like it,
it means I like it
When I say I hate it,
it means I hate it
When I say I love you,
it means I love you
When I say I hate you,
it means I love you

"Dancing in the rain"

I know you love dancing,
but you don't have to
dance and laugh like that
in this pouring rain, on the street
where busy people pass by,
because, you know,
okay, fine, I'm joining!

"Write, delete, write"

Many, many times,
I write, write, write, 
delete, delete, delete,
type, type, type, 
delete, delete, delete,
to say, say, say,
I love, love, love
you

"Because I hate here"

Dashing down the sloping hill,
cutting through the wind,
into the city and the blue sky,
right now,
I jump with all my might,
just like in that movie,
feeling that
this could take me to another world

"Noise cancelling"

⠀⠀
When you speak to me,

the surrounding noise

suddenly goes mute,

and the only sound I hear is

your voice

"Dazzling"

Trying to find
the whitest part
of the white clouds,
I look up
and gaze,
only to be struck by
sunlight
suddenly bursting through a gap,
blinded,
What are you doing?
I hear from behind,
open my eyes,
and turn around,
only to see,
through the shimmer of the afterimage,
your smile

"Raining"

Outside, raining,
looking up,
not holding,
umbrella,
in her hand,
giving mine, 
take it, I say,
covering my head,
with my jacket,
I run alone,
in the rain,
falling, 
in love

Despite the sun,
the desert is dark
because of the smoke
from the bombarded district

Despite the sun,
mothers cannot see ahead
because their faces are buried
in the chests of their children

Despite the sun,
bodies are cold
because their souls are taken away
from their wailing parents in Palestine

"Dizzy"

Futon
on which
I lie down
on the ceiling
seeing a light 
feeling dizzy
I draw
your smile

"I go, cannot"

Winds, dancing, grass,
moving on, I see 
trees, full-blown, flowers,
orange, blue, purple, sky,
above, birds, flying, airplane,
far, very far, country, I miss,
you

"Clouds"

The crowded clouds
crawl across
the charcoal sky
to shed tears and cry,
to cover over
the countless stars
on the other side of
our severed universe,
to water the earth of
so many saddened souls

On a sunny day,
while strolling by the seaside,
the sea breeze blows
and tosses your hair

On a sunny day,
while strolling by the seaside,
the waves come crashing
and wet your running bare feet

On a sunny day,
while strolling by the seaside,
I recall the day and you,
gone far away

Did you know,
when others look happy,
that I try to smile at them?
Did you know, 
when bad things happen to me,
that I just laugh and try not to cry?
Did you know,
when I feel uncared for, 
that I try to stand up straight
and look strong?
Did you know,
mom and dad,
that I need your love?

"Travel"

Travel to you, I,
in the dawning eyes
of your darkness,
saw so many
opening universes
where hearts burgeon
blossom, hurt,
and healed
in the travel
of our trillion years

"Nothingness"

The Sun,
into, run, I 
burn, melt,
flow, fade
into a void
toward which
nothingness,
so dreamed,
so awaited,
comes to
existence
at last
