Autumn wind
touches my cheek—
your warmth remains.

autumn evening

Grown tired of waiting—
at last your message arrives,
soft as autumn wind.

The mirror is cracked,
yet it still reflects the ordinary.
What trembles within its wavering light—
is it the image of my own unsteady heart?

Mirror, mirror, tell me...
what is it that you truly reveal?

Even under heavy clouds, a quiet moment for yourself is never lost.

A gentle fragrance drifts through the air—
the breath of a flower yet to bloom.
Soft, fleeting, yet real.
I believe it will open in its time,
just as your talent will—
quietly, inevitably, toward the light.

Autumn festival drums,
flutes resound—
I dream enjoying with you.

Falling,
into the stillness below.
Lured by sweet whispers,
chilled by distant smiles.
I do not know
what it is I am falling into.
Only this I know—
my eyes see the truth.

The fortune-teller speaks,
tarot cards laid, dice roll to reveal fate.
She grants small hopes and dreams,
showing, with a gentle smile,
the path to tread by feeling alone.
A story like misty dreams,
yet one cannot help but cling to its sweet whisper.

Autumn wind whispers,
“Wait for his good news,” it says,
to soothe my longing.

My body feels as heavy as lead,
my heart sinking to the depths.
Is it the season, or merely whimsy?
Now, it no longer matters.

With a wish to soar into the vast sky,
I lift my face,
and step forward, straight and steady.

Crushed by daily rounds,
I recall you in autumn’s calm—
Your words ease my soul.

your voice arrives at last—
soaks in like autumn rain.

The out-of-season hat holds the color of the sky.
From behind, it feels as though she walks among the clouds.
The wide brim stirs the heart,
each light step carrying her forward,
toward the quiet rhythm of dreams.

At the end of waiting,
I linger alone, eyes on the distant horizon.
Do I wait, or do I not?
I cannot tell.
Yet in this stillness, a quiet settles over me—
perhaps… it is because of you.

On autumn’s long nights,
reading, I still wander through
the words you once loved.

The nostalgic sunlight dazzles, and I narrow my eyes.
Yet my gaze stretches toward the distant horizon.
Nothing remarkable stirs in this quiet hour.
Still, I cling to a fragile hope,
and hold this day close to my heart.

Awake by your name
Soft whisper through autumn night
Dreams linger, then fade

Synopsis

井川奎(Ikawa kei) @ikawakei.bsky.social · 21d

In morning light,
I breathe the crisp air of autumn,
sinking into the tender hush after waking.
I have grown used to Sundays alone—
yet suddenly, I think of you.
Are you, too, spending this morning
in quiet solitude?

Thank you so much🙏

井川奎(Ikawa kei) @ikawakei.bsky.social · 22d

I had a tooth extracted on Thursday.
It's not painful, but I'm experiencing some light bleeding.
Writing poetry is also a bit difficult, so I'll be posting less frequently for a while.

With you,
I eat the same,
I drink the same,
I speak of the same things.
A simple, quiet moment
fills my heart with joy—
in that instant, I understand
what it means to be with you.

Yes… perhaps I’ve been carrying it longer than I realized, through shadows and light, waiting for the right step to move forward
