Guided by the flames
of a love without limits
I shall come at night,
for at least no one censures
traveling the path of dreams.

Original by Ono ni Komachi. Pivot-word: omo(h)i = "longing" / hi = "flame" -- the fires of love treated as a physical, light-giving object. "For" and "traveling" are interpolations: the former is the implied relationship between the independent sentences, and the latter (or some synonym) is the implied-but-missing verb of the direct object "path of dreams".kagiri naki

In general, I've been using romaji only on the grounds that most people, if the kanji would be useful for, probably already know ways to find it. :-)
