Another japanese film that catch my emotions in a net of love and tears heres my poem about it
Zhou yu's train

Love, where are you planning on going?
You’ve not yet seen this place to know it-
you’ve followed me across the river
and took the train to the place your heart hides,
Yet you only know the place that I live-
up the old steps towards my open arms
and we’ve danced in my hallways.

I never knew what to say but kisses were words;
I am the poet that write your voice-
and you heart it back knowing I am yours
are you mine or is it me the poet?
You once said you never loved me the person-
just the poet for his words
how was I meant to feel or say.

To smile is to be happy in a sense,
But never fake the feeling-
I’ve made that lake the essence of you
and cried the same amount,
Beauty isn’t what most see in the distance-
it is up close written all over our soul
waiting to be melted in the lovers form.

Is it so hard to love me as a person?
Because the poet is running out of words-
and what love shall I give you but silence
waiting only to speak those kisses as words,
You never came back to me after you left
I heard that you drowned in that river
and so did the poet in me.

There are times when silence speaks louder than words.
Well done.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Once I asked myself the same questions and thought I knew the answers.  Perhaps, mistaken.  This hits me hard tonight.  I really like your writing, incidentally.

what an interesting write, RedStone
indeed, why is it sometimes easier to love
the poet rather than the person as a total being?

Awesome.  I do understand it as is, but would perhaps have a better understanding of it as a whole if I'd seen the movie. It's very eloquent.
