Your Sun Is Setting - rAveNswAn

Another example of following the pen. I started simply with the thought of someone's sun setting. No reason why, nothing more than just that thought. 

I like how it comes off with almost an ominous tone without giving up any details. It is like trusting the book cover that sold you to read it.

The Murder Mystery - rAveNswAn

I have always liked The Murder Mystery as it plays on both words and perceptions. The murder is a murder of crows and the mystery unfolds itself as the distance closes in between the walker and the tree, thus the walker's perspectives and perceptions change.

The Wrong Light - rAveNswAn

Excerpt:

It’s not the lights
In front of your eyes
Certainly none
That money buys
When you find it
Time stops
Yet somehow time flies
Over mountain tops
Across stellar skies
But if to see it
You have to open your eyes
You
You’ve picked the wrong fight
Because it’s the wrong light

Two Bottles - rAveNswAn

Driving into work the other day while listening to cds teaching Japanese, I thought of this song. When I reached work, I wrote the two stanzas and chorus I had in my head onto a PostIt while still sitting in the car in the parking lot so I would not lose them.

Ni - Two

Pon - in this context refers to bottles

Onegaishemas - loosely translates to asking someone to do a favor, please
