Holding on to you so tight, a dream,
Unable to part with love,
My sadness knows no end,

I gaze at the lonely road ahead,
All I can see is,
Walking the path of life without love,

My grief never ends,
Lonely winter winds blow cold,

A biting dream,
Dreaming of a home,
A hundred lifetimes ago,

Missing you,
Standing on southern shores,
Of a Miracle seven thousand miles away,

To when, will I hold you,
When will I touch your Earth, below my feet?

Missing Cherry Blossom Spring,
Four thousand years passed,

My spirit yearns for home,
Knowing of your accomplishments,

Your fighting worries my heart,

Always take care,
My awesome Korea,

As if you are walking on,
A pond of thin ice,

Then you will become United,  Once again,
Peace and love will grow for eternity...

I am always asked,

“How can I love and write about a place that I have never been to,
Korea?”

Crazy, I know!

I like the romantic answer.
I lived and suffered in this place called Korea in a past life.
Or I will be born Korean in a hundred years.

In any case. This place called Korea,
Will always be in my dreams...

“Have you ever been lucky enough to figure out where your dreams come from? I have. I've written many poems about a place that I have only been to in my dreams.  This beautiful place is called Korea.”
- Ronald J Chapman

“I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met.”
- John Green, “Paper Towns”

“Is it possible to miss a place you've never been? To mourn a time you never lived?”
- Jack Harper, “Oblivion”

I believe you live in my past,
You and me floating on a rippling lake,
A warm summer breeze caressing our bare feet,
Surrounded by a mirror reflecting stars.

A long way, from today,
A long time, dreaming,
A long time, waiting,
To touch love once again.

Looking up each night at the heavens,
Struggling to see your spirit,
Looking for a bridge across time and space to your heart,

Seeing fiery stars,
Flying through space and time,
Messengers carrying memories,

Wondering if they are sending prayers to me,
From a thousand years past,

Never giving up hope,
Looking for your Soul,
In this time and place.

Seeing a ghost behind every cloud,

I raise my hands to the stars each night,
Praying my final destination is kneeling,
Before your Soul,

Floating on a silver lake,
Hearing the laughter,
From our children playing in the sunshine.

Standing beneath a starry sky,
Seeing the outline of your Soul,
Lost in memories,

The shinning blackness, of your hair,
The twinkling and sparkle in your beautiful brown eyes,
Feeling a breeze brushing against my lips; is that you my love?

My love who touches my Soul each night in dreams,
Who holds me tight with memories each day,
Each night, my love lost among the stars,

Always watching the skies,
Looking for beautiful dreams,
And happy memories, flying across the heavens,

Seeing you, always with your arms open,

You are always my last dream at dawn,
And first memory in the daylight,

You are still, my first dream at dusk,
And first memory under the lonely starlight.

My dear love,
Don't' cry,
Everything I gave you, can never be taken away.

Hush now,
Be happy,
Our Souls touched,

An impossibility that only fate would know,
That two hearts needed to meet and lift each other up,
After falling so far.

The things I gave you will remain with you forever,
They will never be retaken,
My love will be with you forever.

I only wish I could give you more of my heart,
To carry with you after I'm gone,
Stay strong my princess.

And when we're apart,
I will hold tight,
The treasure of our last kiss goodbye.

Hope,

Friendship,

Love,
True Love.

I've aways known that you were a warm breeze,
From the east.

That after a soft touch leaves only lost memories behind,

Back then;
Hope was standing by your side watching a bright sunrise,
Friendship was holding on to your soft hand,
Love was bright sunshine sparkling from your smile,

True love is remembering lost memories,
Sitting by your bedside,
Holding on to your soft hand so tightly,
Watching your smile sparkling in the sunshine,
Of our last sunrise.

Thinking of my Guardian Angel Today,

I write these words today, for a very special you,
Thinking of you night and day, I always pray,
Your bright soul brings sunshine every day.

When I first met you so long ago.
In that heavenly place.
This day was the first time we said 'Hello.'
I found an unbelievable beautiful soul.

How beautiful you are in an Angel's dress.

When your soft and kind hand warmed my cold face,
You said to me, “I am sorry we can not be together in this place.
Our Father has a mission for you in another place.
I will always watch over you when you travel to that earthly place.
Let us never say farewell and goodbye.”

On this beautiful calm clear day.  Not a rain cloud in the sky,
Looking up at Heaven thinking of an Angel in a white dress.
A warm tear drop of rain falls upon my face.

I knew you were guarding me in this place.

Let us never say farewell and goodbye...

You are my Angel,
A most brilliant star from the East,

Always shining, you brighten my days,
While hiding behind a blue sky,

You light up my dreams,
Like a bright Sun, that warms my cold Soul,

You are my never-ending dream,
Searching for you is worth my lifetime,
And ten thousand more.

I won't give up,
Until I can hold you in my arms, my wife,
You are the never ending quest of my life,

Through these complicated times, you give me hope,
Through each lonely day and night,
Unknowingly, you are the star that guides me in my dreams,

Because of you, I want to live again,
To let go of these lonely days,
I want to love again,

Searching for a star from Heaven,
Is the only purpose I have left in my life,
Hoping, you will fall into my arms one day.

Where is the king?

King stalks!

Sneaks quietly like a slow breeze.

The wind dies with a big roar.

Love is a strong cat.

The lion endures like a hot jungle.

Strong,  giant quietly fights a rifle's bullet.

Wow, courage!

Roars die!

King falls like a brave soldier...

Every day living in the past,
Never forgetting your love, beauty, and kindness,
You remain in my heart, always.

When I dream, I see you; an Angel dressed in white,
Reaching out your arms, come with me to see your fantasy.
When the sun shines on my Soul,
I'm resting in your loving arms.
When raindrops fall upon my cheeks,
I suffer with you on that day the Angels took you away from me.

You are always here holding me,
Without people knowing.

I'm holding the past tightly next to my heart,
It's a beautiful place,
An unforgettable time.

You are ravishing,
The scenes are beautiful.
A sweet time for love.

Wishing time would repeat,
Never wishing to leave you in my past.

Missing you,
Infinite tears to fill an Eastern sea,
Roll down my cheeks,

Fate, why have you done this to me?
You sent me on an imposable journey,

My last chance has come and gone,
One chance in a thousand,

Why am I still loving you?
I let love pass me by,
For a second time,

Giving up on myself,
I can not speak about this anymore,

It just hurts too much,
My heart aches because I think of you day and night,

But you don't have to worry,
I will pretend to smile,

As I dream of you every day and every night,
Chasing! The loneliness away.

I awoke Sunday morning.
Never understanding completely,

I hear a familiar song playing.
Out my window to my surprise!
I see a field of red roses in bloom.

In this beautiful redness I see an angel in a blue dress,
Floating at a piano and playing
The song “Only Hope”

Rose...

I've forgotten,
How long it has been, since, I left my home,
A long time ago,

I've thought for a long time,

How I miss;
“The “clear song” of the magpie
that reflects the
bright and hopeful spirits” of my home
so long ago,

How, I miss my home where
the flower from heaven,
Mugunghwa blooms.

How, I miss the hard work,
As a poor farmer,

How very much I miss a kinder less
complicated time and place,
That was my home so long ago.

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.

If I should Disappear,
Look far to the East.
You will see my spirit,
From a wondrous place.

A house full of glowing lights.
A place of delicious food.
The place where the young party!

All I see are green bottles of Soju.

Reality is a staircase leading nowhere.
Life, full of problems, is hard!
I work every day.
Korea is so far away!
My soul on fire and everlasting pain!
Korea someday!
Even if my ashes on a jet plane.

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.

Looking At You

When I look at you,

I'm looking at a dream;

I look at your stunning beauty,
Your beauty,
Is like a bright sunrise on a summer seaside beach,

I look at your gorgeous brown eyes,
Looking into your eyes,
Is like falling into a deep thick chocolate milkshake,

I look at you smiling at me,
Your smile,
Is like looking at thousands
Of budding pink Sakura flowers,

I look into your heart,
I see a warm, kind, pure, angelic soul,

But you are in a place I can never reach,

From thousands, of miles away, I am looking at a dream,
With a smile and eyes full of laughter.

Traveling, the long dark roads
every long night,
to faraway memories…

Looking for the woman,
I adore, lives in
distant thoughts…

Seeking her Soul,
looking up,
at the heavens,

Asking her with words,
from deep within my heart
to come to earth from paradise,

"Please, spend a loving night with me, my Angel."

Opening up my Soul,

Asking her; the love I miss so very much.
Please end my pain, wrap your wings around me,
and bring my Soul home, with the magic of your love and beauty.

The night comes,
Red sunset, orange clouds,
Bright lights are hanging from a black velvet curtain.

How can I enter your dreams,
A crescent moon,
Points to you.

Hoping to return to that June day,
That day that changed everything,
That day you took my heart and soul,

A sleepless night, impossible to forget,
Sorrowful days spent,
Looking for you.

Was our meeting the work of fate?
Was our meeting meant to be?
Or, was our meeting only but a lonely man's dream?

I only want,
To touch your heart,
To love you in the daylight.

The impossibly, awakens,
Only in my dreams.

If I could only understand,
Why you are the flame, rising from the East,
That burns love in my heart each day?

You are the candle,
That lights my way, to my Destiny in the light of day.

Why do I only choose to touch you in my dreams?

I'm saddened,
When we say goodnight,
At morning's dawn.  

You say it must be this way I must want to stay.

I'm here waiting,
I know it's what you want. Come to me.
Come home and be with me.

It only takes one step to begin,
The journey to my heart.
Treasures are here waiting for you.

Look towards sunsets.
You will see me standing on the shore of an Eastern Sea,
With arms opened wide,

Looking for you in every the sunrise,
Flying, home to me!

to see a short glimpse of Heaven
with you standing there with Angel wings.

Another lost fall,
With memories of my lost lifetime falling away,
Like bitter multicolored tears,
Falling from trees, turning into dust.

One fall closer to the end,
Wondering through these cold days,
Dreaming of you, on the other side of time,
Above the dark clouds of this lost lifetime.

To find you my lost love,
I fly above this glacial sea,
Uncertain where,
Fate is taking me.

Hoping my Destiny,
Is with your love,
And cherry blossom leaves,
Falling in the springtime.

Looking over the horizon of a dreamscape,
I meet invisible ghosts in every dream,

Sometimes awake I dream of princess's and queens,
Dressed in blue and red standing at the ocean's edge,
White sand below their feet,

Beckoning me,
Come closer,
For pleasures to see,

All my hurt behind of me,
In whose heart will I be?

A warm breeze blows in the late night,
I kneel down before the ****** queen,

A lost man from the West,
Forgets ever going home again.

Love Alone Again

Dreamless nights over and over,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't remember your beautiful tears.

I want to hold you again,
And wipe away the sadness,
Because I still love you.

My heart aches, with forgetfulness,
Because you're not here,
It's been too many years since the Angels carried you home.

No matter how hard I try,
I can not find anybody else,
To lift up and love,

I'm always told,
It's time to say goodbye.

Love came too quickly,
With cotton clouds flying across a blue sky,

Love came warmly,
Laying on a carpeted floor,
With a fire burning in front of us,

Love came in silence,
With a touch,
A strong embrace,

Love came freely,
With no commitments,

Love came with tears,
Tears filling, wine glasses,

Love left,
With a kiss blown,
That could never reach my lips,

Love left too quickly,
With storm clouds,
Flying across, gray skies...

Wondering how long,

Wondering when this dream will be leaving?

Making us fall in love with tears,
With Souls that we can never hold,

Too many years,
Too far away,

All we have to hold on to,
Are timeless love letters,
Telling us, of our dreams,


That,

We wish would come true.

Yet! The Universe is,
Magical and wondrous,
Where, miracles do happen every day.

Dreams can come true.

Because of you,

Hand in hand, walking forward,
Through life,

Looking at our lives,
Discovering the mysteries of Earth and the Heavens,

Looking into each others eyes,
Finding gifts in our hearts,

How can I hold on to a free Spirit?
Your Soul deserves to fly, like a Dove,

I must let this dream go,

I know,
I'll find you in life,
If it takes a thousand lifetimes, our paths will cross again,

Hand in hand walking the path Fate has placed before us,
Holding on to our dreams,

Many possible endings,
Scattered by the tides of time,

You and I in Heaven and on Earth,
Protected by the Angels,

In life and death,
Love, Faith, and Hope will keep our, memories
Locked safely in our hearts,

We have to be brave,

Long ago promises were cut into rings of diamonds and gold,
Meeting you was preordained by Heaven's Angles,
Two beautiful Souls joined in Love,

Many possible Destinies scattered through space and time,
I always see a Destiney with you.

Love Was Born

You tell me,
Crushes are unhealthy,
Crushes tire us out and break our hearts.

They take away our energy,
Fill our Souls with false hopes and memories,
Lead to regrets and impossible fantasies,

Only give the gift of suffering,

My crush died a long time ago,
Six months after fate, pointed me to my destiny,
That you call a hopeless infatuation,

My beautiful rose stabbed me,
Through my weak heart,
With a very long and sharp thorn.

That day, I felt a sharp pain and thought my life ended.
I did not die or run away,
It was the pain of love being born.

The day I discovered I fell in love with a dream.

A miracle that made me strong,
The pain that gave birth,
To impossible fantasies.

Dreams of places and times I never lived.

This miracle that gave me the courage to stay,
To write of impossible love, heroes, music, courage,
And fairy tales, I share with the world every day.

There is only one more fantasy,

I pray love grants me,
The health and courage,
To bring into my reality.

In springtime,
I fell in love with a foxy lady.
She was like cherry blossoms floating in the breeze.

When spring flowers bloom,
Our love is bold,
Like white petals on the rose.

In the summertime, our love is warm — She tickles my fancy with nine tails like white feathers floating from head to toe,

When dawn is bright and blue, our love is playful — two people kissing in the sunshine.
If thunder rolls in our love is brave, a shelter from the drenching rain.

When autumn leaves fall, our love is golden and sweet,
Shining bright like a persimmon harvest at sunrise.

From the Mid-autumn Festival till the first dawn of the new year,
Our love will continue to shine.

For thousands of seasons past and future,
In this world without end,
We have always loved and will love always!

My only love, my Gumiho.

Flower buds like fireworks dare to rise,
Pink and white roses hug and kiss,

To wake up with the sun,

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.

Bright yellow sun, you saw me crying alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a beautiful lover of my own.

I don't think I will love ever again.

Yellow sun, you knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for,
A beautiful lover I really could love forever.

I heard the wind whisper ''Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo."
And then suddenly appearing in front of me,
The only woman my arms could ever hold.
It's you, who I've been searching all my life.

But when I looked closer,
You turned into a Princess dressed in a white gown behind a magic mirror! No!

Oh oh oh...

Why are we half a world apart and separated by half a lifetime?

Bright sun, now I'm no longer alone,
Looking with a sad heart, without a beautiful lover of my own.

To my heart, I must be true.
A sad day will never empty my heart again,

We go together,
Like the gayageum and haegeum, playing Arirang.
Remembered forever through time,

Dreaming of us meeting on a warm April spring day half a world away,

I'm loving, loving, loving you.

To truly see a dream,
A dream come true,
Is a miracle;

You fly through the night travel through time,

Sometimes to the future,
Sometimes to the past,

You travel through space until you reach
that impossible place at last,

That place in your heart you have been
yearning for so very long,

The place you see a glimpse of every night,
Thanks to the magic of dreams.

Here I am from a far off place,
Looking at your reflections in my dreams,

Looking at you through snowy cherry blossom trees,
Seeing your bright, happy face,
From a distant time and place,

Listening to you cheerful songs,
I see a smiling princess,

I miss you when I'm awake,
I wish for you every day,

My love for you will never end,

My only love,
Do you wish for me too?
Do you see me standing beside you?

I think of you every day,
That I am holding on tight to your hand,
I want to keep you close to my heart,

I think of you every day,
I will wish for you for eternity.

Don't listen to prejudice,
Make your own path,
A person's life doesn't belong to others,
Hasty decisions destroys friendships.
Movement forward is most important.

Be thankful for your life and good friends,
Like ocean waves and beaches,
A day full of parties and fun. A
Mountain is meant to climb.
Move forward and
Silently. Do not listen to prejudice,
And also listen to your heart,
Cautiously, Always look to the future...

...

The secret revealed.

”Don't make a hasty movement. Be like a mountain. Move silently and cautiously.”
-Admiral Yi Sun-sin

Raising my arms to the sky,
Looking for your Soul,
That flies above white cotton clouds,

Above the blue sky,
Where Angels fly, granting wishes,
Guided by star shine.

Standing under a western sky,
Where eagles fly,
Gazing at the snow capped mountains high,

Wishing to travel across a vast ocean,
Following a map of memories,
Looking for Magpies to take me home,

A home, where Tigers stand guard and roar,

Where cherry blossoms cry,
Where roses bloom,
Where Azalea shine.

Forgive me for,
Taking so long,
To find my way home.

Hello, my dear dream,
Happy to see you in the bright morning sunlight,
Remembering, a passionate; kiss.

A sensual embrace a thousand years past,
The two of us bathing in a misty stream,
Under a ghostly moon.

Memories of a place where princesses and kings lived,

With wishful dreams, of golden sunsets,
Our Souls are holding each other in Heaven.
Until the gift of life comes again.

Living in the forest of nature,
Loving, making, new life,
Painting a new future;

With a brush of passionate words,
Painting songs and love poems,
Of a place and time, we can only dream.

Back then we just didn't know,
That we would ever meet again,
A thousand years hence.

My dear love,
Good to see you in the daytime.

The lonely snow has come again.
Today I cry warm tears.

Remembering you and me,
sliding down frozen hills,
skating on mirrors of ice,

On snowy days,
we were always the happiest,
we never felt alone.

Late at night,
we never said goodbye, only sweet dreams,
as we slipped under warm blankets of love,

No matter how cold,
the outside world became.
You and I surrounded each other with warm love.

Today, I still smile, but my heart cries.
Missing you; who loved me so much,
on cold, snowy days.

Many decades past,
Years older,
Life colder,

Oceans apart,
Unable to feel your beating heart,

Memories strung together, unraveling,
Keep seeing your outline in my visions,
Difficulty remembering our passion,

Hard rainy night,
Thundering memories,
Drunk! Seeing our dreams floating away,
In a green bottle of soju,

Still hearing your laugh,
Visions of your smile in flashes of lightning,
There is no need to be sad,

Still seeing visions of your bright smile,
Every morning in every glowing sunrise.

Finding that memory,
A memory misplaced in space and time,
Only a memory that a cold winter wind can bring.

Is like finding a ring of diamonds and gold,
In a white veil of snow,
So breathtaking, sends chills down my spine.

Feelings inside me, rise up from my Soul,
Love beyond space and time can never end.

Growing old alone is cold, my friend.

I breathe poems for you out of thin air,
From impossible dreams, come impossible words.

Who's arms are holding you now?

If I truly loved you,
I will smile at finding a memory,
Made out of diamonds and gold.

Hearing echoes of bells,
Hearing echoes of  **, **, **,

What is that yummy smell?

Smells of yummy apple and cinnamon cookies,
Mom is baking to fill Santa's tummy with goodies,

I see,
Brilliant flashing lights covering a pine tree,
In the twilight, we feast on cookies and tea,
Puppy dogs begging for treats,

Dad drinking Eggnog, playing with trains,

Come on kids,
Let's get to bed,

Mom don't forget to put goodies out for Santa.

Tonight, we'll dream of flying rain deer.
Toys carried by a holly, jolly fat man,

What is that I hear on the roof?

Hearing echoes of bells,
Hearing echos of  **, **, **,

It must be Santa and his slay.

Yay!

Holding our hearts is where we start,
One million miles can't keep us apart,
When our worlds collide and my days are dark.

You are my blue sky; you are my bridge across an ocean of time,
I travel to you in misty midnight dreams,
To touch you, my sweet love.

Wishing, never leaving the arms,
Of my empress with hair of black, fluttering in a cool southern breeze,
Dressed in red, blue, and cloaked in Angel white.

The fire in your red lips,

Seeing you see me,
Bringing me out,
From behind the mist.

Found my bride and married her Soul now,
My wife!
My passion, a thousand years past.
