Lost in this place,
Born into the wrong time; a time I don't belong,
Always looking to the past,

Dreaming the same dream,
Holding you close,
Walking a golden path,

Snowing cherry blossoms,
On a warm spring day,
Rainbows shining brightly across an eastern sky,

Every night,
Stars remind me of you,
My only love,

The impossible love we once had,
The lover,
I would never forget,

You still hold my heart,
I left with you,
A thousand years past,

Waking lost without you,
Without dreams; I don't belong here, in this place.
No matter what I do, or where I go,

Looking and looking every day,
Can't find you; find the one dream I miss,
I wish would come true,

Where are you, my beautiful desire?

Inseparable Love

Inseparable lives, inseparable love,
Love holds us tight,
Warm memories glow bright,

As cherry blossoms glow bright,
In the Seoul sunlight,

On that day,
We made the promise always to stay,

Even in death,
Our Souls would, not part,

Hoping my prayers,
Still, reach your spirit,

Seeing your beautiful love in dreams,
Calling out to you,
My inseparable love,

I miss holding you in my arms,
I love you.

Cold Sunshine

The sun occupies my days,
From dawn to dusk,
Looking for bright days,

The sun shines bright,
But my days are always dark,

Lonely days,
Hearing your voice carried on the wind,
Telling me, not to give up,

Thinking still of you,
Remembering your hugs,
As my cold days slip away,

Remembering when you left,
My sunshine and happiness went away,
The day the sunshine became cold.

A tribute to the inter-Korean summit  April 27, 2018

Brothers and Sisters of Joseon
In the spring, our love warms our Souls,
like cherry blossoms floating in the breeze at Panmunjom.

In wintertime, our love is cold — it's holding the island of Yeonpyeong
in pain freezing our toes.

If skies are blue, our love is peaceful — two people shaking
hands in the spring sun.
If thunder rolls in, our love is brave, a refuge from the rain.

When spring cherry blossoms bloom,
Our love is bold, like red petals on the Korean rose.

When autumn leaves fall, our love is silver,
shining bright like, Mount Kumgang.

From New Year's day till Dano, the fifth day of the fifth month of
the year our love will continue to hold hands.

From season to season, may peace continue to bloom,
in the land of Korea.

Even today, I look at you, from a lifetime ago,
and see you on the day when your tomorrows,
were stolen away,

I love you so much,
Thank you for loving me,
Because I can still embrace you in memories; even today.

I can still walk the earth,
even though my heart hurts,
I am happy; you love me.

I know, I will hold your spirit again, in Heaven, one day,
and wipe away the tears,
because you are the Angel, who loves me.

Rest well now, my love,
see you tomorrow,
and all the tomorrows to come…

Light pink and white cherry blossom leaves,
Carried by a warm breeze, caressing your cheeks,
Tickling your nose, softly falling in your hair,

A beautiful scene,
A reflection of happiness in your eyes,
The laughter, in your voice,

Happy sounds fluttering through the air,
Tickling my heart, like a breeze from Angel wings,
A painted scene of memories guide my Soul,

The place love touched our hearts,
The place it all began,
Keeps yesterday's happiness in my memories,

Knowing an Angel is still here,
Deep in my heart,
Feeling the beating of your Angel wings,

Guarding my Soul,
As I travel through this beautiful place,
The place I found an Angel that will love me for an eternity.

You are the wonder of my life,
Out of a treasure trove of beautiful fantasies...
The only dream to come true,

Looking at a brilliant star,
Brighter than any sun in the sky,
Wishing to meet you always in dreams... after midnight,

The moment I closed my eyes,
You were always here traveling from thousands of miles away,
embracing me, a butterfly tickling my cheek,

Until we met on that,
amazing Yeouido spring day,
under cherry blossom trees,

I said hello to a beautiful Angel,
covered in pink cherry blossom snow,
My dream come true.
