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
