Opening the bookcase

their long wait

I want to be

The Frozen Sea

and those who are scared
and those who love
me like you.

about Pain
Yonah Jeong Feb 22
Joy is sharp and pierces
Sorrow is not sharp, can't poke

stand still and look back
it seems so

does not hurt
others

there is pain in sadness
there is no pain in joy

Pain is so bad
just one good thing

It doesn't give you room
to stab others.

In anti-democratic countries

In democratic country
opposition is important.

The more you love
Yonah Jeong Feb 22
The more you love
the more you notice
what has changed
rather than what hasn't

The More You Love
the More You Try to Change
Not Stay the Same

The more you love
the more you value
the person you love
not love yourself

about Philosophy
Yonah Jeong Feb 20
a wondrous shock
dead-end
mother's birth experience

children's curiosity
is protected by
innocence in the mother's love

these are the bread of philosophy.
Yonah Jeong Feb 20
Without a balance of power
or rather
without a balance of political power
freedom is suppressed
equality is ignored
there is no respectful
There is act in Jungle
the humiliation for
Mutualist and
their *******
These two survive singly.

Gentle sun lights
Countable Fogs
Revealing fire
Brilliant
Dancing grasses
Pebbles
Dozing birds
Thirsty
Dreaming air
Slowly but changing
Solving problems
Pearl of sands of dirt soil
Signs of love
They live with these families.
Yonah Jeong Feb 20
I'm so heartbroken today
My body is tired
I come to the study room
to look at my favorite poetry
Narrow but not narrow
This room from beginning to end
No matter how many times
I search
I can't find her book of poems
I take a bath and come back
I search again, but I can't find it
I use cell phone flash
but I can't find it
Should I check Amazon?
I'm about to give up
Just one more time
I sit at my desk and try to think her face
Poverty, hunger, disease, oppression
And in the midst of separation
without losing warmth and love
She wrote poems
in addition to
The landscapes and people in the poem
she loved them
I make up my mind
after a bath
On the right side of desk
I look at
poetry books of my favorite poets
And then
I see the hem of her blue skirt
with numerous square black dots
I quickly tug it up
I finally found her
"Collected Poems Marya Zaturenska Pulitzer Prize poet"
No matter what happens
Sleep with me tonight
I'll make sure to read it all
Tomorrow".

More important than a party
is the policies

It is not the policies of a party
a party of the policies

Our choice
are policies, not party.

about Respect
Yonah Jeong Feb 17
I think that a mistake
that can be fixed can
actually
be a stepping stone to progress

I think it's futile to accuse someone
of not knowing such basics

I think
respect is not respect for big things
but respect for small things

for me who hasn't trained
enough literature
respect for such small errors
gives me inspire

fixing themselves
stand still
with respect.

Fraternal Twins
Yonah Jeong Feb 16
In fact
they didn't hate me
They were just different from me
I believed the difference
to be wrong

"You wear a wrong hat
from yesterday!"
Nope
“You wore a different hat from
yesterday!”.

About him 4
Yonah Jeong Feb 13
His voice
Always hoarseness
His songs destructive
But not building
He is a modernist
Above all
Today always the same
With fear alone
Move our bodies
Because he is drunkard
Always
Moving head from side to side.
Yonah Jeong Feb 13
When you hear your problems
Don't be disappointed, despair,
Or angry

Problem is
Answer's shadow
That person not your enemy.

Love, you can
Yonah Jeong Feb 13
Love as first step of
Your grandchild

Love, love
You must choose
Your grandparent

Love, love, love
Give before take too much
Striped night's darkness

Write continually
Glitters of words
In the lightness of your mourning.

my confession
Yonah Jeong Feb 13
I'm reminded of the poet's words,
“Keep money and honor away from you,”
and tonight
I'm tempted to indulge.
What a life without temptation?

Aubade 3
Yonah Jeong Feb 11
You and I

You are the mountain
I am the sea

We met

As time passed

I am the mountain
You are the sea

We met again

The place
Where you and I met
Became a meadow.

Aubade 2
Yonah Jeong Feb 11
Two trees
Cannot see each other
Cannot touch each other
Cannot receive pollen from each other
Cannot approach each other
Cannot entangle each other
Cannot hear each other's song
A silent winter forest
A bridge connecting them
A flow of air
begins with the flapping
of a bird's wings
When they touch each other
The caress of love begins.
Feb 11 · 40
Aubade
Yonah Jeong Feb 11
water purifier
Ice fragments pouring
from the plastic box
and filling the cup
make a sound
becoming water
To be the blood of lovers
their songs sing
not to turn one
but the sacrificial passion
and an offering of love offered
by two of one.

sandglass
Yonah Jeong Feb 10
in the Hourglass
The sands as numbers
Numerically

two worlds between "is and was"
Through the narrow gap
Crumbling time

after reversing
And count again
Numerically

the sands
Between moments of existence
Between existence of moments
Connect fears from both.
