I wake to find that snow has come; so cold
it is within my tiny cell. Would that
you were in here with me I wouldn’t find
it so; but you exist in summer fields
beside the sea — cerulean, the skies
above in which you yearn to fly. Your hair,
its like a raven’s cloak, so dark, yet light
and free; the salt sea breeze does blow it so —
you brush it from your eyes. Your eyes, as green
as finest jade, are flecked with earthen tones.
At night, the stars are brighter still when viewed
in those deep orbs. To kiss your lips, so soft,
so full, so warm I felt it in my soul…

These memories I’ll keep with me
within my deepest heart.
This way, my love, I’ll keep you safe;
we’ll never be apart.

Ah, the snow is melting.

Summery tasting, and the colour of soap!

Ramune is a sweet, fizzy drink that is popular in Japan in summer. It comes in a glass bottle with a marble sealing it which rattles around while you try to drink etc.  These limited edition Kit-Kat have been around most of the summer. They’re pretty shockingly green! The colour of soap! But they don’t taste like soap!

And they have a strong smell! Of ramune!  And they taste like ramune!  It’s bizarre! That never happens!  ￥292 at Lawson.
