Falling asleep... on a warm seaside beach,  
Sun caressing my face,
Rippling waves singing me a lullaby to sleep,

A beautiful nymph, swimming;
Her golden hair sparkling with diamonds; under a starry sky,
Tickling my Soul with her smile,
Playing hide-and-seek; swimming through ocean waves,

Looking into her shimmering eyes,
Hypnotic sparkles,
Passing into an island of memories,

Sleeping on a sandy beach,
Waking under a misty-ocean sky,
Next to the love of my life,

Seeing her shining hair,
An inspiration, a seductive smile,
Making my life worth living again.

On rainy days,

Remembering you crying,
Warm tears, on a cold rainy morning,
Crying worrying about you,

Holding on tight to your Soul,
Don't go! Don't go!

That cold rainy day,
Angels carried you away.

Rainy days crying tears,
Are you standing next to me?
With your wings wrapped around me?

In the cold rain on lifeless days,
It's so hard to find true love again,

At this moment,
Your tears are a misty memory,
They fill my heart with memories of love.

No matter what,
My Soul will love you forever!

No matter when and where I am,
On rainy days,
I will remember your sunshine,
Your warm love that, dries my tears.

Believe calmly like a sunny sky,
Wisdom is painting a full moon,
Hope is a new dawn,

Sunbeams bounce off a wavy pond,
Pure fresh breezes bring beautiful desires,
Morning mists float low above the grass,

The warm mist vanishes and brings the bright blue sky,

A charming wind kisses my cheek,
Beautiful skies,
Quickly bring a good day,

Wow, new strength!

Thinking of love and you,
Remembering a beautiful time,
You and I dancing to a dreamy song,

We would dance until dawn,
Holding each other close,
Feeling the beating of our warm hearts,

Holding on tight through the night,
So close, our Souls become one,
Such passion, such never ending love,
Love as vast as the Universe and time itself,

An impossible connection to you,
An impossible time we are together,
An Impossible place thousands of years in the past,

Out of all the possibilities,
Knowing I have discovered the Miracle of you,
The Miracle of you and me dancing together in a dream,

Do you dream of me?
Do you know I exist in your distant future?

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Life is changing every day;
You were my Sunshine,
You were my reason for living,
Whatever I had belonged to you,

I never knew tomorrow would never come,
I never knew that I would never say “I do.”

After my long life;
My bride,
You are my oldest memory of love,
You stand side by side with my mother in heaven,

Your Soul is as beautiful as the first day I met you,
I will always remember you my bride,
Lying there in a white dress;

In my long life,
I have never met someone,
With a Soul like yours,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I've had many chances, at love!
I have never found someone that would take my hand and say,
“I'm yours forever and ever.”

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I learned true love is difficult to come by,

I've met many Angels.
But, They live under the wrong sky and in the wrong time,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.
You are given very few chances at love.”

“Be happy my love. Enjoy! Your life.”

Take a chance at, love once again.

Everything in this place, reminds me of you;

These days, of heavy rain,
These days, of sunshine,

As I look up,
At the cloudless sky,
I want to tell you,
I have not forgotten you,

Viewing the night sky,
Filled with stars,

Remembering my promise, when we meet again,

To give you a single red rose,
To let you know that,
I have not forgotten our days,
Of sunshine and rain.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Standing here, watching clouds pass by,
Looking for your face in eternal memories,
Seeing an ocean blue sky,

Cotten clouds moving in front of my eyes,
Remembering your smile clearly,
Stealing away my lonely nights,

Treasured dreams,
Carrying my heart,
To a far away place,

My heart swimming,
In an ocean of memories,
From sweet yesterdays...

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I feel that I am flying, though time and space.
Past the stars and planets in the heavens above.

When, I think of you every day and dream of you every night.
When I see you, I see galaxies in your eyes,
I can only think of, to say the three magic words, "I love you!"

You're so strong and brave! This love is Eternal!
I can't resist your bedroom eyes, it's true!
When I look at you,
The cherry blossoms and infinite stars fade into shadows...

I am quite in love with you!

Your Soul is exciting; your heart I will love forever,
You have captured my Soul with the words,”I love you!”

I will hold on to you forever and ever. 'til my life is done,
Be part of me until the end of time,

Let our Souls travel into heaven above,
Never letting go too, our hopes and dreams,

I love you!

Eleven thousand kilometers apart,
A thousand years separating their Souls,
Lovers are waiting to hold each other in their arms,

Looking at dusk waiting for dawn,
As loneliness traps their hearts,
Remembering cold, snowy winters,

Holding each other tight, two Souls with one heart,
Dreaming of cherry blossoms,
Falling asleep in the springtime,

Can never forget to love.
Their hearts open to capture dreams,
From across a vast ocean of loneliness.

Dreams that leave them at the first light each day,
That leaves them,
With only emptiness and pain.

Living in this earthly place,
Unable to fly into each other's arms,
Two Souls are missing their lovers from across an ocean of time.

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.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Lost in a sea of darkness,
Like, a fiery star crossing my path,
You shine on me rescuing my Soul,

Glancing at you!
Rising above my sea wall Far to the East,
Like, a bright morning sun,

You warm my heart,
Dry my lonely tears
Of morning dew.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

In autumn,
When brown leaves fall,
Our love shines, like a bright harvest sunrise,

When October comes,
And trees turn, brown, orange, red and yellow,
Fields of green and yellow shining under cool blue skies,

Two people holding hands,
Running through fields of corn,

The smell of sweet pumpkins is floating in the breeze.

As cold orange sunsets come, and cool winds begin to blow,
When autumn leaves fall, our love keeps us warm.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Morning summer sun,
Shining on a cold, empty bed,
A lonely day comes again.

Every day is the same,
Missing waking up in your arms.

A cold light shining on my Soul,
It seems happiness only comes when falling asleep,

Traveling to our past,
And dreaming of happy sunny summer days,
Both of us sleeping together in our warm, loving bed.

See invisible things,
No one else sees.

Lives meet at the most-important times,
By no accident.
Our spirits met in the past and,
God gave us a second chance.

Boyfriend is waiting to catch her in his arms;
Hug her from behind,
Give her a rose every morning,
Give her a surprise,
Write her little notes,
Listen to her words,

Give her a kiss on the forehead,

Tell her she is 'beautiful.',
Inside and out,

Say, “I love you.”,
Not only with words but deeds...

Beneath the sunrise of a cold new year,
Standing alone on the banks of an ice-covered river,
My Soul is frozen in time.

Reflecting upon warm memories,
Melting away ice-cold winter days,

Skating alongside you,
Through ripples of time,

I call out to you,
My shining princess,
I love you.

Lady Mi-Yung!

You are my beautiful sunrise,
Your face reminds me of bright skies,
Together, we are, like a fortress strong,

Oh, beautiful Princess,
My remarkable rose flower,
My extraordinary, young wife,

The perfect companion to our children,

Oh, dearest Mi-Yung!
Stars sparkle in your dark eyes,
Your black hair shines in midnight moonlight,

You're the most amazing and lovely dancer,
When you dance,
I see an Angel, flying among the stars.

Oh, adorable Mi-Yung!
You are my soft rosy sunset,
Your smiling face reminds me of bright sunshine,

You are my eternal dream,

Lady Mi-Yung!

Because of you,
You're standing in front of me,
Tempting me with bright and boundless dreams,

Wishing to spend a lifetime with you,
Temptation bounds me, like a red thread tightening between our hearts,
But unable to say goodbye to this heartbroken life,

I know my head lays on your chest, in some far off time,
Listening to your strong heart calling out to me,
Come closer, in never ending dreams,

I keep looking for your Soul,
Behind your dark brown eyes,
Seeing only myself looking back at me from distant times,

Boundless dreams of an impossible life,
Rescuing me from a sorrowful Soul,
Calling out to me, come back home.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

My whole life waiting for you,
through the seasons,
as time passes slowly,

with flowers blooming in the spring,
flowers are wilting with tears in the fall,
time is moving too slowly.

Many lovers have come and gone,
with all the goodbyes,
too many tears have fallen over the years.

You, my darling Angel,
your spirit remains in my heart,
uplifting my Soul though life on wilting days.

Chasing away the sad days
of tears falling on
wilting flowers,

always bringing memories,
of blooming cherry blossoms, roses, and love
in the spring.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

I want to love you,
Not just say the words,

I know I wasn't supposed to fall in love,
Or even care,

My heart misses you,
I miss you so much when you're away,
I miss your smile every day,

I imagine placing my hand on your heart,
To feel your hope and passion once again,

My love for you will last an eternity,
Miss you so much when you're away,

I have made the choice! to love you,
Not just say the words...



Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Standing at ocean's gates,
Looking at Heaven's stars,
Dreaming of the stars in your eyes.


There is nothing more amazing,
Then seeing you in my dreams,
Dreams that chase away the loneliness.


In this old lost life,
Why is it so hard to forget you?
To say goodbye to you?

Is it my fate to love you,
Until the end of time?

Is it because,
I'm afraid to lose the feeling,
Of your hand holding mine?

I look to the Heavens,
And wish,
Your Soul was with me now.


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there for you, to catch your tears,
And chase away your fears,

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there to lift you up;
With the magic of a wink and a smile,

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there standing by your side,
Holding on to you so tight.

Whenever you need me for anything, tell me where and when,
I'll be there,

If you need me for anything,
Tell me what you want,

I will do whatever it takes,
To light your star on fire and place it back in the sky,
For all to see.

Staring out the front window,
At a lonely street lamp,
Shimmering through a cold rain of tears.

Looking around our home,
Visiting our sweet memories,
Wondering where you have gone,

After you left me alone,
In this empty home,

Hoping that you will come back soon,
I miss you.

Sadness flows every day,
Until midnight dreams,
Of you and me begin.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Fate sent me to you,
Meeting you under a cherry blossom tree,
Drinking down your warm, sweet cup of love,

Catching your honey tears, with my lips,
You become my blessedness,
You become my hope,

Your love tastes sweet, like cherry wine,
It fills my heart,
And takes away my sorrowful hunger,

Together with you forever,
Drinking from your,
Never empty cup of love Is my blissful dream.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Your heart glimmering…
With warm sunshine,
Sparkles and blue sky in your eyes,

Turning darkness into light,
And sadness into joy,

Walking along life's path,
Hoping time moves slowly…
When I'm with you,

A life filled with blue skies, sunshine, and roses,
Seeing happiness in front of my eyes,
Beauty in front of me is my only wish always,

Happy-sunshine warming,
My Soul,
I love you.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Walking along a warm sandy beach,
Seeing a beautiful sunset in your eyes,
A fiery Seoul; enthusiastic flames burning in your heart,

Holding your warm hand,
Seeing you smile,
Dancing in the ocean waves; Laughing without a care,

Singing to guitar strings;
Floating in yesterday's memories,
Brightening my life,

Warming my heart,
Lifting me up,
With a Soul brighter than any sunrise.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Bright Sun,
Morning breeze,

Two candles flickering,
Never fading in the wind,

Bright sun,
Lovely smile,

Sunny day filled with burning love,

Two candles burning brightly,
As the new day begins.

One morning looking at an autumn sunrise;
Seeing leaves falling,
Feeling a cold easterly breeze,

Out of nowhere,
On my way to do another hard day's labor,
I saw my future standing there,

Someone out of my dreams,

I felt a connection, with you
Where have we met?
When have I met you?

Who are you?
Someone I never knew,

Someone beyond time and space,
Someone dressed in white,
Reflecting the warm rays of morning sunshine,
A beautiful Halo reflecting in your dusky hair,

Someone to fill my life with Miracles,
Someone to change my life,
Someone to replace the missing part of my broken heart,

The one who saved my life,
The one I love.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A shining evening star alone,
In the blackness of loneliness,
I never knew I would love again,

Until I saw her,
An Angel flying across a rainbow bridge,
Spanning the river of flowing time.

A delightful smile,
A stunning glow,
An Angel, flying with wings.

What magic is this?
My heart beating fast,
Time, standing still.

A fiery passion exploding inside,
Such thoughts can not be real.

A beautiful Angel takes my hand,
Her gentle touch cries out to me,
Come with me; let's explore rivers of romance,
Flowing into lakes filled with passionate love.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I look to my destiny every day,
A future discovered on a cold June morning,
An eternity ago.

Searching for ways,
To move forward on the path fate has laid before me.

But every time I begin my journey,
Something blocks my way.

I'm afraid fate has cursed me with a longer path,
Then the days I have left to walk.

A vast ocean and years block my way home.

Please love, help me find a way to reach my long journey's end,

Where she is patiently waiting for me,
Holding her arms open wide,
Crying please come home to me, I love you; I love you.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

As you spread your love through time,

Allowing me to see visions of
Your remarkable and troubled past,

By raising my head and looking at you,
I have seen a miracle being born,

A miracle rise through fire, pain and with courage,
Looking at your beauty sets my heart on fire,

That brightens my life,
And warms my Soul every day,

Allowing me sleep and dream of you,

I know time can move so slow, as slow as watching a city grow,
It seems tomorrow will never come,

But true love is a Miracle of its own;
Like a bright blazing Sun at Dawn,
After a cold winter snow storm,
That warms our hearts,

After that June day,
Thousands of days have past,
I still have an unending passion for you,

I raise my head at Dawn and look, as the blazing Sun carries,
Your love to me,
Far from the East.

Fires! in my heart,
Begin burning with spring's arrival,
With warm sunshine, I see in your smile,
As the fresh spring breeze carries your warm kisses to me,

Winter's cold, darkness and loneliness,
Chased away by your sweet pink, lips, and your bright smiles,
The sunshine reflects in your bright blue eyes,
Sparkles, like the dew on new spring tulips.  

As bright as the morning spring sky.
Sunshine reflects love from your eyes,
Fiery passion rises from your Soul, as dawn breaks,
A new day reveals promises in your dark silky hair.

Dreaming here next to you,
I paint these words, for you, my sweet spring love,
With a brush dipped in promises, wishes, and desires.
On a canvas sewn together with dreams.

Standing on a western shore,
Looking on,
He sees the edge of the world,

All angry,
Trapped in the sand,

Light fading slowly,
Sun falling,
Reflections of memories in the ocean's waves,

A foreigner,
Remembers an impossible past,

In whose heart,
Lives his past,
In a distant light and a long ago time,

A home he will,
Never see again.

Spring

I feel so warm and cozy sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see Sakura trees,
I LOVE you more than our unforgettable first kiss.

You're so high, as high as an autumn sky; I hope this love that's flying 
Through space and time.  Will hold on tight.  
I can't resist your kissable warm cherry lips; it's true!
Cherry ice cream and newborn babies fade into shadows...

I am absolutely crazy for you!

Your Soul is exciting; your Heart is Kindness never ending,
And my Heart is TRULY in your hands.
I could touch and hug you 'til my life here ends,
But YOU are the focus of my heart as you hold me in your arms,

This Sunshine happiness of your smile,
Raised my spirits so high my love,
And for you, Spring,
I thank God's Singing Angels from above.

My dear haegeum,
You sing so beautifully,

You sound like a dream to me,
You are so very magical!

I'm only telling the truth,
When I say, I love you,

You are an instrument created by a Miracle,

How can I appreciate you more?
But to write these words about you,
And introduce you to the world,

The magical musician,
Tickles your strings,

And

Your two silk strings,
Tickle my ears with your eight voices,
The sounds of the Universe,
Gold, rock, thread, bamboo, gourd, soil, leather, and wood,

My dear haegeum,
You sing so beautifully.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

*The haegeum is a traditional Korean string instrument.

You are my summer sunshine,
swimming, in your shining love, brightens my dreams,
warms my wintery Soul,

Chasing away my lonely cloudy days,
You are my longing dreams,
as my spirit floats to your warm heavenly embrace,

You are my wishful hopes in life,
my inspiration, for, living,
You are my love for each new day; a gift worth holding on tight,

Because of you,
I live my life
in the sunshine,

My love,
You are the happiest dream come true,
I thank God for you.

I feel sorrowful,
Darkness makes me ill,
I feel miserable, depressed,
My heart is drenched in soju tears.

Hunger rips at my foundations,
I feel tired,
Anger is dragging me down to the depths of misery,
I want to die!

Is it because of being alone for so long?
With the blue rays of despair, raining down on my Soul?
Or am I lost in a tale of Hwang Jini, adrift far from my home,
A foreigner missing his Seoul,
I don't know?

Kyung Mi, I miss you, my wife,
Kyung Mi I miss you, my love,
Kyung Mi I miss you my best friend,
I was getting better but then,
Thoughts of never seeing Kyung Mi broke my heart again,

I feel brokenhearted,
Cold nights chill the flesh on my empty hands,
I feel downcast,
An outcast, living far from home, Missing his Seoul,
Feeling crushed my only purpose.

I feel miserable,
Death is doing its best to take my Soul,
I want this to end!

Is it because of being alone that I feel this way?
With the blue rays of despair, drenching my heart?
Am I lost in a story of Hwang Jini, adrift far from home and alone,
I don't know?

Kyung Mi missing my one true love,
Kyung Mi missing your beauty,
Oh God, Kyung Mi missing your kindness,
I was getting better but then memories of you,
Thoughts of never seeing Kyung Mi broke my heart again,

Oh! God! Take me back home.
