I Used Up This Body

I used up this body
longing
for one who does not come,
A deep valley, now,
what once was my heart.

Izumi Shikibu

My Longing for You

My longing for you-
Too strong to keep within bounds,
At least no one can blame me
When I go to you at night
Along the road of dreams.

Ono No Komachi

No Way to See Him

Now way to see him
on this moonless night-
I lie awake longing, burning,
breasts racing fire,
heart in flames.

Ono No Komachi
