It's a cold! day;

It's a cold day in January.
The January rises like a big winter.
Why does the blizzard freeze?

Where is the frozen arctic?
It's moved into my attic.
So cold, that diamonds freeze?

Endurance, hate, and cold.
The icy girl screaming, views the coat.
January please melt!

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.

My dream with enchanting blue tiger-eyes,
with silky black hair wrapping us
with echoes of memories and angel wings.

I long to sip your lips of grapes again.

My dream, we fly home on the magnificent,
silver-winged eagle,
vast continents and cold oceans passing beneath us.

The depths of all the seas and distance between galaxies
shall never separate our Souls.

Shining stars brighter than any diamonds, guide our way home,
Angels greet us from the other side of time.

Adorned in white robes,
we hold our love tightly flying home,
in the twilight bathing, in each other's warm love.

I wake to kiss,
your heart beating,
on the other side of time.

My dream come true,
our Souls my love, are home.

Inside the meaning of ourselves, the poets and songwriters look.
Just the thought of tears makes my spirit hurt!
Always looking, never seeing the words through the rain.

After the dogs of summer stop barking the dreamers breathe,
After the rain of the evening, the poets and songwriters learn.
In the stillness and cool-ness the dreamers rejoice!

All the ghosts have begun humming again.
Beside the river of tears, my mind thinks.
After the rain, sunny memories sing!

Kind Spirit don't go.

Fell asleep on cold frosty January evening,
Hoping to dream about beautiful things,

Awoke in a strange place,
Scared at first.
Where am I?

In front of me a misty woodland,
Gazing through blooms of cherry blossoms,

A white blanket on the ground,
A warm breeze pushing me down,
A warm mist begins to hug me,

On this quiet Spring morning,
Rose petals rain down in front of me,

Out of the fog,
A ghostly figure of a woman appears,
Yet, I was not afraid,

She took my hand and said, "Stand my Prince."
She was the kindest spirit.  
Sing and dance with me around this place I live,  My lost love,

What a strange place this is?
A place where sadness seems to live,
A mound of green,

Yet!

She shines so brightly,
A free Spirit filled with joy and happiness,
Laughing like a child,

I wanted to run with her forever,
I wanted to run around the world with her,
I wanted her to hold on tight and never let go of me,

Who is this beautiful woman with a Spirit of a child?

Oh no! Oh no!

She's running too fast,
I tried to grab this free spirit's hand.

Don't go!

I want to hold on to you forever,

But the morning sun rose, another morning alone,
A place where sadness seems to live.

See the kissing Prince,
True love at first glance.
A queen so bright, she shines like the sunshine.

Kneeling before his lover,
Under a dark starry cover.
Holding a thorny red-rose, near his beating heart, a gift like no other,

Please marry me.

She is but a Queen; not looking for diamonds or gold,
She is a beautiful spirit; only wishing for true love,
Admired by all, yet alone, longing for love,

Her heart belongs to,
Only one man, Her lover holding a rose with tears in his hand,
She needs no excuses; true love at first glance,

She's not alone anymore,
As hope, is born,
To a barren land.

I've forgotten who I am,
Afraid of the days to come,

Memories drowning in a glass of soju,
Memories hiding in long shadows,
Crying out, telling me who I am,

Not listening,

I've forgotten who I am,
All the ghosts have disappeared,

The cold wind blows through the night,
Yet! I can't breathe, but still only yawn,

Afraid of the days to come,
With only a glass, filled with tears and lost memories.

How many times,
Will you return to me,
In my remarkable dreams?

You taking my hand,
Guiding me to a magical land,
To a time of kings and princesses,

Chasing my fears away,
Remembering your tears,
Longing for the taste of your lips,

I can't forget the black nights,
We held each other so tight,
Your glow was bright as a new dawn,

Am I foolish waiting for you each lonely night?
How many more nights will you visit me in dreams?
So I can wipe away the tears.

My dreams are all I have left from you.

I am afraid of getting sick.
I am afraid of having to stay inside all the time in my bed.
I am afraid that I will lose all my friends.
I am afraid that my friends will be scared of me because I am sick.
I am even scared my friends will think they can catch this cancer from me.

I am afraid of losing my hair.
I am afraid of all those chemicals the doctors are giving me.
I am afraid that my life will end in pain.
I am afraid that my brain is going to stop working.
I am even afraid I will never have ice cream again.

I want to get healthy again.
I want my hair to grow back.
I want to go outside and play in the sunshine.
I want I want this cancer to disappear.
I even want to taste ice cream again.

I want to ride my bicycle down to the ocean pier.
I want to have my twenty first birthday party.
I want to go shopping for new clothes.
I want to play with all my friends.

I even want to help others who have this horrible disease cancer.

Most of all!
I wish this horrible nightmare of cancer was just a bad dream.

For a thousand times.
I put on a happy kind of face. But
I travel on in life as a lonely Angel,
I like tasting wine and walking the dogs.

I contemplate thousands of times past.
But when I start to think,
My mind turns straight to forever.

Seeing my reflections in a wavy river,
I look into my eyes,
I think about forever with a smile.

But I think it's the next thousand hours that will make
my life worthwhile.

Why is it so hard for me to decide which I love more?
A thousand days or forever?

I like to use words like 'food and 'travel'.
I like to use words like 'charity' and loyalty'.

But when I stop my talking,
I daydream about forever.

I like to hang out with tequila and soju.
But when left alone,
My mind thinks of forever.

Why is it so hard for me to decide which I love more?
A thousand Days, or
Forever?

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.

I'm looking at you in my dreams,
Are you secretly dreaming of me too?


In this vast world,
I'm still seeking to find you;

To hold you in my arms, my bride,
Walking side by side,
Holding your hand, looking at the stars in the sky,

To love you more each day,
Dreams are not intimate enough,

It seems this mad world,
Wants to keep our hearts apart,

If it should take one hundred lifetimes or ten thousand centuries,

To find you,

I will always look for you, my love.

I feel amazed and like I'm living in a deep dream sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see Magpies flying high,

I write words from our dreams, every day,
These words are never enough,
To show how much I love you!

I cry when you're in pain,
There is nothing I can do but pray,

You're beautiful!
I can't resist your courage and strength, it's true!
The cherry blooms and palaces fade into shadows sometimes...

But my memories of living with you in the past will always remain,
Locked away in my heart, like the treasures of Joseon,
I am crazy for you!

Your Soul is fast; your heart is a mother's love,
I truly wish my heart was being held in your hands,
I could sing and dance 'til life was done,
But you are the focus of my plans,

Too much missing you is impressive, my love,
And for you, 'Dae Han, Min Guk', I thank Heaven above.

All my love,

This was an amazing day!
I found my true love today,

I found that one person I want to be with forever and ever!
A person I truly care about and endeavor to love unconditionally.
That very special person I want to spend time with.


In spite of what other people think or say about our relationship.
That special someone that I care about more than myself,
That one love that very few find
In a single lifetime.

This was an amazing day!

Hello, old Friend

I've been here before;
In my memories,
In my dreams,
I've seen you before,

In your dark eyes, I see reflections of my Soul,

Is this a dream again?

I'm finally standing here with you, where I belong,
Looking at the bright lights of Korea's Seoul,

I've been waiting so long,
Am I finally here?

I'm not afraid anymore,

I'm with my old friend,
Exploring Korea's Seoul,
Wondering what we should do next,

Am I finally home where I belong?

White skies over Galleria Mall Arad Romania again,

Among the young Stars
laughing near silence
where children await

Now blue stars fade
into happy beginnings
then love for children once more.

Oh! Angel of mine,
What do you do all day?
How, the girl had smitten me.

I must now eat my meals out of a can.
Hide if you can.
Two sad eyes across the room.

Grapes in the summertime make me sleepy.
Why does my heart break with such confusion?
No one can understand me.

Oh! angel of mine,
What you do to me all the time,
Take a sip of grapes,

Look at the stars, and feel a shiver up my spine...

Faith, adventure, and life.
Love falls like a shower of wings

Why does the Angel fall?

Faith, life, and endurance.
Holy is a sunny cloud.
Holy is a rainy spirit,
Holy is feathered wings.

Guardians endure like strong winds.

O, courage!

Flying calmly like a lively wave.
I see a misty messenger.
The misty messenger,
Softly touches my face.

Courage is accepting a loving touch.

Wow, hero!

Rise swiftly like a clear sun.

I'm here to bring you home with love...

I see Angel wings in flight,

With a grace she gently wanders,
As if searching for something or someone,

She cries out!
Where are you my love?

I'm here my Angel.
Why can't you see me?

Please don't fly away my Angel.
I need you so very much.

My Angel, you take away my pain and give me joy,

I'm here my Angel.
Why can't you see me?

She turns and looks at me.
And says, “I'm here my Angel. Come fly away with me.”

Beautiful, small girl quietly fight a dusty, misty bench.
Hello, old friend.  Did you miss me?

Ah, life!

Running loudly like an old hammer.
Banging ******* the ivories.

God, action!

Piano keys are only black and white,
But sound like blue birds singing ,
On a bright morning's day.

Oh! No!

Where are the noisy keys?
Never love a broken string.

Exhaustion, noise, and love.
Never fight a hammer.

Sometimes in our lives,
We meet another Soul,

Who brings us dreams of our future,
Who brings us memories from our past,

Our lives that will be,
Our lives that once were,

Not in our lives of today,
Because. Your love belongs to another,
In this time and place.

How can I forget our dreams?
How can I forget our memories from the past?

How can I forget you?
How can I let you go?

My love for you is like the finest silk,
You remind me of a cute ***** cat,
Who likes her tummy rubbed,
And purrs with kisses.
Together, we are like whip cream and chocolate ice cream.

Oh darling Princess who visits me in my dreams,
My cute Asian spice,
The perfect companion to my hot Soul.

Dreaming of red sunsets,
Flying over waves of an Eastern Sea,
Dreaming of sunrises,
Falling into your cuddling arms,

Dancing on a new day's dawn,
Making love to you all day long!

Oh my darling Princess,
Walking with you under a spring moon,
Your kind lips sparkle in the moonlight,
Your Soul is ravishing,

I love you lady from another time!

Like tossing a pebble into a pond,  
My long ago memories reflected slowly,
In each ripple of sunshine,

A Fresh breeze whispering lovely songs to me,
From times long past,

Every misty morning sunrise brings hazy memories;
Memories that traveled from a distant time and place,

With eyes wide shut, I dream of times long ago,
Thoughts of today's sadness and yesterday's happiness,

Seasons' change, the fragrance of kimchi and coffee remain,

Waiting some day for the sun from my past to warm my Soul,

It's just like, daydreams of your first lover,

I'm waiting to touch you again,
That we can make new happy memories; Memories that will last for eternity.

All those years ago. You were my life; you were my dream,
you were my love, my dear Queen Seondeok,
An impossibility I know.

I dream of visiting impossible places and times every night,
A miracle raised from the ashes of war,    
And one people of Korea,

A miracle that stands,
Only minutes away from eternity,
Every day.

My dear love, Queen Seondeok, please grant your wisdom,
To your people living in the North and the South,
And remind them, they are one family,

They are the family,
Of the Kingdom of Joseon.
The place my dreams come from.

Your face reminds me of a bright yellow Texas sun rising in the east,

Sailing to an impossible place,
To the time of Joseon,
An Angel teaching a good people,

The place Sharon's rose grows,
A beautiful Seoul,
A place of impossible dreams to come,

Blue Skies,
Rice cake soup,
Magpies flying high,

Oh beautiful shining Texas Angel,
Your Spirit lives in Seoul today.
Your Spirit sleeps under the blankets of Seoul,

The perfect friend to the Korean people,
They will never forget that summer day,
That day, you offered your "thousand lives." to a beautiful people.

A blessed Texas Angel, who gave her heart and Spirit to Korea,

A Ruby shining with love.

Warming my Soul on these cold, lonely days,

Warm winds blowing, in dreams,
Sending your Spirit floating to me,
Chasing away the sad times;

Times I've missed holding you,
Holding you deep in love,
Never saying goodbye.

Love standing in front of me,
I touch your fingertips.

Kneeling down in front of love,
Asking you,

My dream to marry me.

At incredible heights.
There is an awesome view.
I step out onto the platform.
I look below and see the earth's curvature.
Along with white small puffy clouds with
Oceans, that look like mirrors.

I take a flying leap!
Into the nothingness.
No sound no wind.
Then suddenly!
Gusts of wind hit me as if from a tornado.
The silence has become a roar!
I continue to fall and see
That the clouds have become large and overshadowing.

I continue falling through the clouds.
Suddenly! I see patches of brown and green squares.
I say, "My fast ride is soon coming to an end."

I pull my ripcord,
My parachute opens.
I float slowly down to the beautiful earth.

I have fallen from incredible heights
to incredible lows.

What a rush! ! !
Can we do that again?

At Incredible Heights.

A dream is a sunny Korean Green Day.
Enduring loves, like a firm hand.
Singles like soju.
Where is the intense girl?
Crying tears quietly alone!

Drowning sorrows
With little green bottles,
Never love a tear.
Kiss seldom like a cold holiday.
The small girl nowhere views the drunk in the mirror.

Couples walk tender romantic, holding hands.
Adoring green clothes,
Trees rise.
Nature kisses like a boundless delicious boy.
Trees are eagerly awaiting a firm stunning, pure love!

The eager mountain patiently desires the girl and boy.
Kiss calmly like an enduring, unwavering blissful wind.
Couples fall roughly like a hot misty Korean day.
Ooh, love!

Autumn blows in like a messy, cloud.
In the rains of autumn,
The air is frosty fresh and tastes of honey.

The tree dies like a rainy sail.
Inside our imagination, the trees cry colorful tears.
Winter leaves begin their journey's end.

A carpet of many colors lying flat,
Breezes blow rainy carpets of leaves,
Sun loves fiery, leaf breezes.

Cool boys play swiftly in piles of yellow, red and brown autumn leaves.

Daylight's candle is growing shorter.
Give up the fight.

Close the windows, close the doors,
It's going to be a cold night.

Autumn Leaves

Born far above ground,
Each leaf is a new dream,

Time to go for a ride,

Falling, flying,
From colorful trees,
Catching a ride with the wind,

Shala la la la la la!

Raining down, more colors than a rainbow;
Reds greens yellows tans, oranges, browns...

Sewing, many layers of a colorful quilt,
Quietly covering the sleeping grass,  

A soft, crunchy carpet for,
Dogs and kids to run through,

Autumn Leaves.

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.

A crisp, clear autumn day.

Looking up, I see!
A blue sky.
Wow, the autumn sky is so blue and high!

Why is the autumn sky so high that I can see the stars in the day?

Temperatures go low,
Crisp clear autumn air,
No monsoon clouds cry rain anywhere.

Nighttime sky so clear,
Cosmic explosions everywhere.

It's a wonderful time of the year.
Blues, reds, browns, greens seen everywhere.

Looking up, I see,
The high blue autumn sky.

On this new Monday morning.
This Monday is so boring!
Ordinary days I despise by roaring!
Dull times in my life like today. I cry.
Day after day. Same old same old dreary job and life this day.

Do I have a choice?
An Awesome day I can choose.
Unexpected surprises I can choose to give. The
Thing to give,
Today will be mind-blowing,

To one and all. This surprise will
Turn your day Awesome too!
This unforeseen gift, this
Day is wrapped in an
Awesome smile with, "Have a great day! "

On this ordinary, dull day. Do an unexpected thing today.
Turn this day awesome.

Smile at someone today.

Where is the misty street?
Action, exhaustion, and noise.

Noisy, cold guys calmly shove an old, small car.
Faith is a grimy street.
Where is the misty car?
Where is the grimy street?
Why does the guy shrink?
Work, anger, and love.

Hoods walk!
The rain runs like a cold hood.
Ooh, hope and faith!

Rainbow buses ride the streets.

Cars talk!
Streets run like cold doors.
Hoods stop like noisy sidewalks.
Action is a black cab ride.

Why does the sidewalk shrink?

Where is the fast cigarette?

Never fight a flower.
Cherry blossoms in spring.

Splendid, bustling night market, Dongdaemun
Bright nights of food and fun.

Arirang playing out loud.

Have you ever had one of these nights?

As nightfall arrives,
And bedtime comes.
My eyelids fall shut.
I am whisked off to dreamland,
Hoping for new and bigger inspirations to arrive.
That I may write.

As daytime arrives,
The sun begins to shine.
My eyelids open.
I awaken to a brand new day.
With, all dreams and inspirations forgotten.

With you, always in my dreams,
You and me standing, at the edge of a
bamboo forest,

Listening to the sounds of a thousand
flutes, as the wind blows softly,
singing a lullaby at sunrise,
carrying soft memories, from a distant land.

As the sun rises, I look around.
Where have you gone, my dream?
Have you gone home to where fantasies live?

A sad but beautiful place,
of snow-capped mountains
and fields of golden grain,

Where rainbows shine, all day,
And thunder sounds, all night?

A place where you dream of you and me
standing tall at the edge of a blue ocean, looking west
with ocean waves singing a loving lullaby, as the sun sets…

Angels of heaven sing and dance in this place!

Here, beautiful and bright sister sun herself,
Seen between roses and cherry blossoms,
Has a brother moon.

Sister and brother shine day and night.

Rivers, streams, Flow through hills and mountains,
What a calming place.

Blue eyed angels run through fields Of beautiful aster and daisies.
Green grass sweet apple trees.

Magpies fly so high in a bright blue sky, Like guardian Angels.

Here is a dream, a fairy-tail, maybe a fantasy.
Can this be real?

I'm in a happy place.

I chose the Sun to be female and the moon to be male because of the Korean myth about how the Sun and Moon were created. At the end of the story. Sister moon was afraid of the dark. So the brave and kind brother Sun switched places with his sister.

Every night in my lonely dreams,
You come to me from a far away place, (Korea)
And a distant time, (The time of Joseon.)

You are my Destiny,
My lost love,
The heavens took away on that June day.

But on July 7th day every year, A Midsummer night's dream,
Meant to be, as a great gift from God,
You are my love song, my destiny,

We spend a night, a dream of making impossible love,

You are my Angel,
I will love you forever and ever,

My beautiful dream,
You are my everything!

The story of a kind, loving mother, and a good friend.

On a beautiful sunny spring morning.
I met an island princess living far to the east.
The place where sunrises are born and cherry blossoms shine.

Her eyes were sparkling with kindness and trust,
a new friendship that would last forever was born.

Looking into her eyes seeing a bright sparkle, brighter than the sunshine.

Even back then I saw new life in her eyes,
I knew a beautiful Soul was waiting in Heaven to come to earth.
Never knew God was about to send her a daughter of beauty.

She is my good friend.
She is a kind friend.

She is the most tender loving mother.

She is my dear friend, my kind, friend, a loving mother.

She shines brightly every day. Even on the rainy days, she cries with love and kindness.

She is the brightest star in Seoul who kisses an Angel, her daughter every day.

She hugs her daughter with love and patience.

She is my dear friend, and she is beautiful, amazing,
and lights up the world with sunshine every day.

I walk a lonely road this day.
It's all in what I see;

Green trees,
Blue Sky,
Cotton ball clouds.

No one else I see.

A strawberry butterfly sees me.  
Can I have a ride on your shoulder,
Please?

For the longest time, She kept me company.

Without a word she flew away...

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.
