Approaches another ghostly flight,
With the stars of the night rising;
Falling memories in my eyes.

Flying beyond the other side of the sky,
Through a shining doorway to love,
Touching the earth at the other end of time,

Where my dear princess, is waiting!
Kneeling down praying for love.

Guiding me home,
An Angel eclipses my Soul with hope.

Love is standing before you, my princess,
Can you see my sweet desire?

My loving Queen,
Please take my hand,
Never letting go,

Hoping God answers our prayers,
I wish to stay and love you,
For an eternity.

You are all I dream about,
Am I in your dreams too?
Do you dream of our past, our magical lives?

Are you still waiting for me?
Or searching the Heavens for me?

Please find my Spirit,
Standing on the shores of an Eastern sea,
Staring at a sky full of stars,

I'm afraid I will never find you,

Or are you a wandering Spirit,
Wandering through eternity,
Searching for love, too?

I'm still waiting for you,
To come home to me soon.

I count each day as the sun rises.
Time and space,
Are mountains almost impossible to climb,

Wandering through wondrous dreams,
You are all I look for.
I want to know, where are you now?

You are all I look for these cold days.
You are all I dream of,
Do you dream of our love, too?

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Dreaming, dreaming of you every night.
You are the love, and beauty that brightens my life,
That I write of in reality,

You inspire me, to write words of love, beauty, and hope.
I would die,
If you stopped coming to me in dreams.

If the only reality is,
To touch you, my sweet fantasy,
Is in nightly dreams, let it be so!

Let me love you, love you forever in dreams.

You are my vision of beauty, my inspiration, my love.
And at dawn, every day,

I pray!

Fate will build a bridge,
That will allow our Souls to cross the great distance,
Between dreams and reality,

So that I may feel your warm breath upon my neck,
As you whisper,  
Welcome to my world my fantasy, my dream.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Escaping this time,
Leaving this world,
Every night,

My dreams hold the key,
To unlock the door,
Covered in fallen tears,

On the other side,
A Soul sleeps alone.

If I can only hold her tightly,
Once again.

Falling asleep together on a soft bed,
Looking into each other's eyes,
With a sweet, loving lullaby playing,

The two of us never lonely ever again,
Hearing the words from her lips,
I missed you; I love you.

Drunk on Soju again,
Trying to forget your voice,

I said I was happy just talking to you,
And hear your voice once more,

I kept my feelings locked up inside,

When I'm with you, I am always laughing and smiling,

But, one by one the echoes of your voice began to disappear,

Drunk on Soju again,
Trying to forget your voice,

I said I was happy just talking to you,
And hear your voice once more,

Like a fool,
I kept my feelings for you locked up inside,

I spent an eternity waiting to tell you,
I love you!

You are gone,
Drunk on Soju again,
Trying to forget your voice,

Now I only hear your voice in my glass of Soju.

It's time for our long sleep my love,
Unwilling to let you go alone,

When I fell in love with your Soul, long ago,
You changed my life on that day,
The day I pledged to have and to hold an angel's Soul forever.

Am I wrong wishing to sleep with you for eternity too?
I'm not willing to let you sleep forever alone.

I only know one thing.

I love you and don't have the strength to live without you,
Love, please take me with you to Heaven's home.

Closing my eyes, I want you to be the last dream I see,
Falling asleep for eternity.

Said goodnight to my dreams,
Looking for the sunrise,
A quiet spring morning, waiting for, the birds to sing,

Days getting longer,

Shifting cold winds,
Streams flowing,
Waves rippling across ponds,

Oh Sunshine, Sunshine!
Turn the grass green,
Dandelions hiding in the lawn,

Chipmunks, hopping bunnies, and the hoo hoo of an owl,
Sparkling, flower buds blossoming;
Red, yellow and pink Tulips,

Clean spring rain showers,
Rainbows and orange sunsets,

A picture perfect spring day.

Across a great river,
My heart and my mind live,

In a dream my home country vaguely familiar,
Living in a cold, wet straw covered house,

An empty boat floating on the river,
Thinking of you,

Many times remembering our youth,
Many dreams of you and me floating in the river's mist,

Unable to forget you,
Unable to step into an empty boat without you,

Looking Far to the East,
Hoping my memory,
Will rise in your dreams someday too.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Every morning,
I see my dream come true,
Can't believe my eyes,
She is still here and beautiful as ever in the morning daylight.

Every day is a joyful day,
Waking next to my answered prayer still dreaming,
In a bright room,
Draped with loving memories.

Lovers growing closer with time,
As we turn, older,
Her beauty shines brighter, each morning,
As our past; fades away.

As she chases away the darkness, each day.

Our cloudless love burns,
Brighter,
As new dreams,
Are born every morning.

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.

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!

You are the one love,
Beyond my dreams,
It seems I can never give up.

Long ago,
On a June day,
You changed my destiny.

Am I wrong to feel such intense love,
For a Soul, I have never held?
For a bright spirit that fills my heart every day?

Is this love true?
Is this love I feel wrong?
Is this the love my heart has been waiting so long for?

Love, help me find the courage,
To answer these questions,
And travel home, to where my love dreams.

Home to my eternity.

Copyright © 2017 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Dreaming,

You and I on a park bench,
White clouds floating by in a high blue sky,
Magically turning into hearts, doves and puppy dogs,

Looking into a Universe of memories,

What's next my dream?
Heaven or earth?

Softly crying teardrops, filling an Eastern sea,
You're my everlasting love,

What's next my eternal love?
Sing to me, making memories of love,

My everlasting dream...


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A beloved fairy tale, to you, I write princess.

I love the way you dance and kiss with me,
You're all I need to make my life right.
Always dancing under skies filled with wishes.

You are my sanctuary, my hope.
Wrapping your Angel wings around me,
sheltering me from the cold and icy world,

My princess,
Seeing your shining light,
fills my days with wondrous bright dreams.

Hear the words, I love you, my beautiful Angel,
as I search the heavens and my hopes for your
Soul, every night.

Thank you for your gift
filled with memories of a fairy-tale dream,
that came true.

Falling, falling, rain.
Never ending rain,
Drowning flowers,

Drowning love,
Watering my sorrow,
Sorrow growing, like, crabgrass,

Helpless to stop the flood,

Alone,

Waiting for clear skies, and the sunshine
Will love ever grow again?


Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Looking at the stars,
Floating in Heaven's sky,
Dreaming of love, far away.

But, I believe,
Our Souls will touch again,

Like cherry blossoms, falling in your hair every spring,
Falling stars will grant my wish one day,

A beautiful dream,
Of you and me holding hands, looking at the sea,
Kissing beneath pretty cherry blossom trees,

Like stars in the night sky,
My thoughts, of our journeys together,
Will never end.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I always remember your words,
Be happy, smile on rainy days and stormy nights,

It's late,
The sounds of the day have grown silent,
Heavy thunder,
Rain hitting the windows, trying to break in,

Late at night,
Dreams piercing my heart,
Feeling scared and alone,

Looking for reasons to remember you,
Surrounded by reflections of you in every rainy window,
You, who I fell in love with, in such a far away place,
Such a long time ago,

Distance and time, 
The most painful of reasons remembering you,

Like rain on a dark night,
It never seems to end,
Until the bright blue skies of dawn come.

Like never ending love,
The more I fill my heart with visions of you,
The clearer my life becomes.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Sarah, you live in my heart!
Your spirit, keeps me standing,
You are the taste of sweet chocolate on my lips,

Your face so soft, and smooth like satin sheets.
Soft, beautiful, suntan skin glowing, like a warm campfire on the beach,
Keeps my heart beating with passion.

Looking into your hazel eyes at sunset,
Taking hold of your soft hand,
Dancing in ocean waves,

Waves of love tickling our toes.
Looking into your eyes,
Seeing, a fiery red Soul filled with excitement!

So mysterious,
So beautiful,
Wanting our Souls to come together,

Let's become one, my dearest Sarah, love.

At first glance,
I saw only a girl dancing,
Her name was Tiffany,

But, If by accident, serendipity or by Fate's guidance,
I looked twice,

Your charm pulled me into this world far to the East,
Through song,

I have never had such a sense of passion and obsession,
That brought me into this world of miracles,

I've become obsessed with you,

This place of old and new,
This place of pain and happiness,
This place of beauty and respect,

Rising like the Phoenix out of the fires of war,
This remarkable place was re-born with youthful strength and song,

Noticing, over the years,
I have seen many wondrous things,
From this far off place to the East,
They call a miracle,

I've cried with your pain and smiled
With your joy!

Many times, I have wondered,
If your streets are only but a dream?

I look with my eyes,
I hear your voices and music with my ears,
But I truly see you in my dreams.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights

We said goodbye,
We said we would not meet again,
in this lifetime,

You wrote me my first love poem,
We wrote our memories together,

At least I have my first love poem to,
keep me crying and smiling,

Memories become more quiet every day,
Silent memories set us free,

Until,
Many years later, we meet;

Silently saying hello,
You wrote me my first love poem,
My eternal Love.

If it was only possible,
To hold you tight one more night,
As we dream of raining cherry blossoms in spring,
Falling in, beams of sunlight.

Our hearts fluttering,
Flying into each other's arms,
Dreaming one dream, never being apart.

Why am I standing here,
Gazing off into dreams from long ago, dreaming of you and me,
Living and loving in a beautiful place?

A place where cherry blossoms and golden fields of barley grow,
Where magpies, fly.

Traveling the great distance, to my past life
That only dreams make possible.
Bringing back love, from so long ago.

I love you!

There's nothing else I can do,
But, write this poetry of love to you,
Words that you will never read.

It must be my destiny, missing you,
Looking for you, among the stars,
Reaching out to you, each night.

Only finding a ghost,
Staring back at me, from my dreams.

Knowing of the possibility,
You are dreaming on the edge of distant shores,
Looking at longing lovers Altair and Vega,

Glancing into the future,
Dreaming of everlasting love,
Wishing for love,  

Watching the impossibility of stars,
Remembering our first time,
Makes each night,
Bright as star shine sparkling in your eyes.

Standing beneath lovers Altair and Vega, each night,
Wishing my impossible dreams find their way to reality.

Seeing the first snow,
With each flake falling,
A warm memory from my sweet Angel melts my heart.

Brushing the snow from her hair,
Kissing the lonely crystal on her nose,
Ice crystals are sparkling on her lips.

Holding her in my arms,
Warming our Souls,
Never being cold in life.

The snow covering the world in white,
Brings back memories of you,
My beautiful Angel in Heaven, dressed in white.

I love you.

Cherry blossoms,
Floating in the breeze,
Only for a short time,
In the spring,

Dreams grow fast like magical cherry blossoms,
Floating in a breeze,

Longing to touch a memory,
Looking beyond time,
To truly see,

You Standing there,
With flowers in your hair,
Dressed for times past,

Our life together meant to be,
Only in a dream.

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Could it be possible,
Love is true,
On a cold December day?

Without flowers blooming,
Can't tell if impossible love, is true.
0
Flowers are sleeping,
Waiting for our hearts; to see spring.

Cold, lonely winds blowing me towards you,
Dawn is taking forever to come.
Spending these unpleasant winters without love,
Are so long.

Yet!
On a sunny day in December,
Snow falls upon your bright smile,

As you look at me,
I see a sparkling Angel smiling at me.

Warming my Soul,
On a cold winter’s day.

Beneath a crescent moon,
flows a curved river,
where I stand, looking at reflections from Heaven.

Under the night sky,
stands a lonely person,

Amidst my dreams,
I follow the stream,
gathering memories,

All my life,
looking for you,
you who touched my Soul long ago.

Fate has sent me,
on a long journey to find you,
It's my destiny to meet you
once again at river's end.

Far to the East,
My heart travels with desire,

Where memories of flying with a magpie send me dreaming,

Flying high above hazy cliffs of Kosŏng-****,
I see, Oh wow!
What is this ship sitting on top of a mountain?
A cruise ship was shining like a blue and white sea shell in the sunshine,

The magpie yells come follow me and see other amazing things,
Beautiful Hangang shows me the way back home,

My heart beats with desire,
As the magpie beckons me to follow my dreams,
And come back home.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

You shine brightly in my dreams,
As you sleep next to me holding my hand,
As my Soul  passes through time, missing your sunshine,

Watching the universe,
Memories of you, reflecting in my eyes,
Hearing your throbbing  heart, raising my spirits high,

Seeing you, every night,
These are my,
Happiest and saddest times,

I wish in my heart,
As the sun rises,
To follow you home,

I think of you every day,
Dream of you every night,

I miss you, my Angel,
My love for you will never leave,
No matter how far away you are.

Copyright © 2018 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

A bright night, the moon is full,
Looking at you; an Angel standing next to me.
Seeing our bright-dreams, reflected in your dark-eyes,

Your smile bringing hope into my life,

Dreaming of our days to come,
Days as bright as the morning sun.
Days as dark as storm clouds with love always chasing away the rain.

Standing here, holding on tight  to each other's Souls,
Our love overcoming all,
Feeling the winds of  fate, pushing us closer,

No power in the universe will ever separate our Souls,
We will always be forever one,
Love.

I've always known you were just a dream,
When morning comes, only memories of you are left behind,

I want to think quietly,
To not forget you,

Write words about love and you,

How can such thoughts come from something unreal?

I turn on the lights at midnight,
But I can't stop these thoughts of you,

Dreams of love that make me miss you,
Someone that does not exist,

Every minute, Every second

How can I forget someone like you?

When I've almost forgotten you,
I fall asleep and
You visit me in my dreams.

How can I forget a dream?

I feel so young and happy sometimes,
When I see, the beauty reflected in you each day,
And when I see you, I see the sunshine,
I love you more than words can say...

You're so beautiful! These summer days are excellent! So warm,
Your bright yellow color, it's beautiful!
Even, when your petals and life fade into shadows...
I am absolutely in awe of you!

Your Soul is vibrant; your heart is young,
And my heart is warmed by your yellow sunshine,

I could go on, and watching you grow 'til life was done,

This Intense happiness your petals reflect, 

Like a golden lily in sunlight,
And for you, Mother Nature,
Thank you for this warm summer,



A summer filled with sunshine and flowers.

On that cold autumn night,
When the moon turned velvet red,
The stars flew across the night sky like Angels bringing hope,

Our shy hands took hold,
I remember feeling love for the first time,

Like magic,
The feelings of loneliness and pain vanished,

We fell into each other's arms,
Hugging and kissing,
Never wanting to let go,

Hoping this wasn't a dream.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Standing on a lonely hilltop,
Looking at dusk of an old day,
Imprisoned in thought.

Night skies filled with starry visions,
Lights are shining from distant times.
Messengers are traveling through distant space.

Mind-wandering!

Hoping this lonesome night,
I catch dreams of you and me,
Wrapped together in wings of white.

Ambassadors from the stars,
Carrying memories to me from you,
Melting, my cold heart.

Freeing me,
From loneliness each night,
Until the scornful dawn each new day!

Copyright © 2017 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!

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserve

Gazing into the darkness of a night sky,
Wandering through time and memories of you,
Overwhelming love reflecting from infinite space.

There is nothing more beautiful,
Not even the vastness of space can compare,
To seeing the bright stars in your eyes.

Your Soul is with me always,
Hugging me with warm memories,
Filling the void of emptiness,

Greater than the Universe,
My memories of you,
Fill my life with happiness.

Even though I can't hold you in my arms,
When I look to Heaven,
I know your Spirit, is with me always.

The White Lotus,

Born from muddy, murky waters,
With its strength! Given from Heaven,
Never giving up,
Reaches for the Sky,

Heaven’s beauty,
A gift of white petals,

Floating in a world of cruelty,
Holding on to one's honor and purity,
Seems an impossible thing,

Never sinking,
One hundred days of rebirth,
Purity and resurrection,

Shows life's, potential,
After overcoming a world of muck.

War ***** and fighting *****.
Why can't people party all night?

The world is a crazy place.
All I want to is dance the night away,
But my life is full of spiders and snakes.

I wonder when it will end?

You want Queen Seondeok of Silla,
You want Kim Yuna of Korea,

But all I see is the devil's rage.
Oh! The devil's rage.
Oh! War and fighting, they'll destroy this beautiful place,
Drain our lives of Love and wonder.

War ***** and fighting *****.
Why can't people party all night?
The world is a wild place.
All I want to is dance the day away,

But my life is full of spiders and snakes hiding under rocks.

I really want the world to end,
Goodbye Queen Seondeok of Silla,
Goodbye Kim Yuna of Korea,

And good riddance to the devil's rage.
Oh! The devil's rage.

Oh! War and fighting, will bury us under falling mushroom dust,
Drain our lives of Love and wonder.

War ***** and fighting *****.
The world is out of control,
All I want to do is plant new Hope in dry Souls,
But my life is full of spiders and snakes hiding under rocks.

Your life doesn't have to end.
Sing a song of hope with Queen Seondeok of Silla,
Sing the song of "Arirang."

Dance with Queen Kim Yuna of Korea on Ice,
And put a curse on devil's rage.
Oh, the devil's rage.

Your life is hard and filled with hatred,
But don't care? Get out and dance.

Follow the sunrise to your destination.
Leave the war and fighting behind,

Plant new Hope!

You want the greatest thing,
The biggest thing since becoming a poet.
You've got it all; you've got the world in your hands,

If you are confused, check with Arirang.
Carry a pen to help you along.

Get out and dance,
On the dance floors of the world.

Pine forest, cool wind,
Bamboo swaying in the sunshine,
Lonely Sunbeams fly through the morning mist,
Sunshine kisses my cheek,

Mist filled with ghosts,
Left behind from the night,
Cold wind blows away the fog,
Only one ghost remains,

Watching a memory walk in daylight,
How strong the warm wind blows,
Until I am no longer cold,
Until your Soul touches my heart,

Suddenly my heart is filled with loving memories,
A warm spirit wraps me in her arms,

Unable to let go,
Of her kindness, her joy, her love...

Copyright © Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Another wishful night falls,
Gazing at the stars in Heaven,
It's you who is clear to me,

Always dreaming,
Dreaming of only you,
Dreaming of only you and me, you saving a lost Soul,

I'm calmed by the memories of you,
My yearning heart rises to your smile,
I carry your likeness always in my mind,

In the hushed night,
Shooting stars fly,
Beckoning me to fall asleep.

I wait for the pure Moonlight,
To shine through my windows,
A ghostly mist surrounds me,

My heart misses a beat, A ghostly figure in the fog,
Time has come, to uncover my Soul,
It's you! You who saved my spirit, so very long ago...

Copyright © 2016 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I keep reading your love letters in my dreams,
Always wake up feeling lost; even on sunny days,
Remembering you flying away on Angel wings; Sadness came.

Every night they remind me of the good times,
Remembering dancing on a sandy beach, under palm trees,
You and I are swimming together in the warm ocean surf.

Never worrying about our future,
The love you gave me,
Lifted me up away from my pain,

Dreams every night;
Carrying your love deep in my heart in these lonely times,
Memories of loving you are gifts I will never let go.

Give me chocolate Tiffany!

I was sick and tired of everything,
When I called you last night from my dreams.
All I do is wash and polish and play with kitty,
Wishing! that, I could experience true love again.

Gimme! Gimme! Give me chocolate!
Won't somebody help me live happily ever after!
Gimme! Gimme! Give me chocolate!
I really want to live happily ever after!

Tiffany, I was defeated, you won the war.
Tiffany, promise to love me forever more.
Tiffany, I couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Tiffany, knowing my fate is to be with you.
Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow Tiffany!
Finally! Facing Tiffany and fainting!

You are the dancing gisaeng, here in my dreams.
Dancing gisaeng, feel the beat of the drum.
You can live happily ever after; 
You can live happily ever after, having the time of your life.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! chocolate,
Won't somebody help me live happily ever after, Tiffany?

Glass Shattering

Glass shattering into a million pieces,
No matter what I do,
A glass of wine can not erase you from my life.

I find memories of you reflected in every bottle,
Happiness no longer exists,
How others see me, I don't care,

Life has betrayed me,
Lost my love,
Love no longer exists in this broken life,

Looking for one reason,
To live on without you,

To find one who I care about,
Other than you, is,
An impossible thing to do.
