Oh! Happy Day
Yonah Jeong Oct 19
grandson,
Daniel Kindergarten ride
for 3 years
and today
mid-life teacher
looked at me slowly
and said
"Dad?"
with a breathless breath
joy and happiness washed over me
I answered chop-chop
"Grandpa!" and
she smiled.
Yonah Jeong Oct 18
when writers love themselves
more than their work
disgusting

let their works
speak for the authors
they must be still.

A First Kiss
Yonah Jeong Oct 18
the first time I kissed you
Unable to see devils
                        cheaters
                        A­lso, the murderers
how much
        pure and
        humble
                      No sleepless nights
since then,
or rather the world,
I became a demon of jealousy
                Night became day.

two falls

When winter comes
Yonah Jeong Oct 17
sunshine on the Wind
Birds flapping their wings
sound of a luxury car door opening
waving leaves
under the shade of a tree
sound of deer footsteps
languid afternoon time
headlights
falling leaves
Skunk bugle sound
Mole fumbling
with my Eyes
The blades of grass will tremble.

A letter to Autumn
Yonah Jeong Oct 17
Oh, my love
I look for you
when I am sick
always with tears
I can feel you
your smile I can't see
your stormy warm touching
always in tears
I see you
Oh, my love
when will I see you
in joy
in secret?

Winter is coming over there........

who are the authors?
Yonah Jeong Oct 16

not books in a bookstore
to the hurting villages
of the society
nothing special
ordinary people.

one photo
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
over 20
rooms dragging
heaven and earth
and everywhere in between
snow-covered
train is crawling
through the snowy places
that long sighing sound
almost collapsing
seemingly or not
in the silent space
plant a tree.

after watching a film
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
I was unmoved
music
plot
actors
setting
boring and uninteresting
It was a film
that had nothing distinctive
however
after the film was over
following subtitles appeared

inspired by a true story

I was moved to tears
from there.........

maybe because we are human.

Caramel
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
stale caramel
squashed
pressed
as thin as it gets
one with the vinyl
old caramel
to eat
no matter how hard I try
It doesn't peel off
eventually,
I threw the whole thing
in the bin
like a useless word
that an unknown poet
never knew.

be careful
Yonah Jeong Oct 15

grapes

but in the SORROW.

That is life
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
Look around this world
do not try to see
what you don't see
they are not there

Look around this world
do not try to have
what you do not have
they are not there

Look around this world
what you do not see
do not try to see
they are not here

Look around the world
what you do not have
do not try to have
they are not here

If you don't do so
you are wasting time
you are killing time

I am sure
you don't need them always
experiment with it.

Rope and Poet
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
Hanging from a rotten rope
i look for you
on the white sandy beach
a shining grain of sand
i seek you

You are
in my ocean
the only one ship
emergency exit

I am in this world
to dream
of happiness
as a life prisoner.

Love Is Calling
Yonah Jeong Oct 15
wake up
now the morning has come
surrendered to something
The Day Begins
streets where love's lamps were broken
It is still night
softer and softer
violence and intrigue
that we can hide and avoid better and better
through the war or election
to buy their own future
to sell our pasts
standing outside the door
we paint in bright colours
we buy with money that anyone can sell
forgetting the past
to get love
and trying to decorate love
they are foolish
we are foolish, too
but smart and cruel
to start our own darkening sunlight
to start their own light day.
more urgent and
more precious
more joyful things will wait
with a sun in the eyes
with earphone in the ears
footsteps will enjoy the closeness of the downfall
waving to the train that take us there
in their dreams
of the house
where love is calling.

The older get

sacrifice that transforming is better

A Song for Morning
Yonah Jeong Oct 14
one of nights
is deepening
as before
as go deeper
night loses its own color
after all,
night ends with a night of love
failing to keep promise
we leave each other
night says goodbye
to us.

Eraser
Yonah Jeong Oct 13
Everybody
when find something wrong
write it down
to make sure it can't be erased
in the back of the mind
even my faults
neighbour's faults
the sins of my loved ones
more indelibly
I write them on my heart
attitude of a loved
more valuable than those who are loved
It is better to record
than to erase them
but mistakes of the sins
love, love's eraser
is a tool to delete them
ALWAYS.

Tears
Yonah Jeong Oct 13
from afar, birds and
the lanterns of the town
old, my old sorrows again
Mid-October
with the scent of the vague season
forgotten jealousy and weak love
silent flowers and
the air and the trees
the glowing silence
stained with melancholy,
solitude and possessiveness
people in the streets
As water flows,
so do the rivers of language
follow the serpent's trail
through the valleys
past the meadows
with a heart of faint doubt
to greet the day
And embrace my tears.

two meetings

although parent loves
their children equally,

children cannot love
their parents equally.
Yonah Jeong Oct 12
when the falling dots
become a curve line
painter can abandon technique

when the dusts of reality
become a straight line
politician can abandon revenge

when the screams of history
become a poetry pages
poet can escape the quagmire.

or if
Yonah Jeong Oct 11
a Lucky Tree,
plain and simple
like pineapple stem
those ubiquitous green leaves
and slender stems
easy to bend
leaning against or needing support

YOU

because of the belief
money comes in through you
loved by those who love money
popular tree

for too long
not bringing money
you have grown old
one day
you ended up in the ******* bin

Such a you, a rotten you
bring it to
trimmed and pruned
and wash you clean
in a nutritious ***
replanted

as the days go by
you are withering away
but all the good fortune
until now
accumulated on you
are disappearing
more shining than money
Luck comes to me

shall I save you?

The power of dream 2
Yonah Jeong Oct 11
even though it won't be done
my dream
continues to be passed on
if it is not me
through my descendants
my dream comes true
so don't give up on it.

not for me, but for humanity.

The brotherhood
Yonah Jeong Oct 10
with two windows
a garden becomes two
one is a forest
one is a roads
two brothers
Daniel and Samuel
looking at
looking up
they celebrate
two loves meet in their eyes
are auto entrance
to work together.

my October
Yonah Jeong Oct 8
skylines
a palace of waves and
seagull flocks
lowering clouds of Autumn
curving horizon
it is a good time
to say "good morning"
to listen "good bye"
after one seconds
turned us into October
we run with the edge of edges
season's season
sea son begining
escaping changing
nothing from being
to sprout
where we are.

I heard you love me
Yonah Jeong Oct 8
so you understand
it is so full
poems are overflowing

each other's
until bread and flower
are ONE.

a lucky tree
Yonah Jeong Oct 7
thrown in the trash
lucky tree branch
brought it home and
into three equal parts
and poured water into three glass jars
one by one
and planted them
one
two
After the days
At the end of 15 days
little roots came up
after a few more days
sprouted from the stem
and leaves began to appear
and then
two of them had roots in the water
and one with leaves in the water
and one of them
I had planted it upside down
the roots,
invisible outside the water
every time we laugh and talk
they danced
in the air and
the ones in the water
give us the luckiest of fortunes
for our good futures.

distance of love
Yonah Jeong Oct 6
hedgehogs can't stand the cold
they try to cuddle up to each other
but they can't
their thorns
***** each other with them
and wake up
closer and further apart........
they sleep through the night
with open eyes
worried and worried and worried
just looking at each other
they grow apart
But
they have a loving heart
closer and closer
they approach again
But
than the pain of the cold
the pain of thorns
the pain of love is greater
with the length of a thorny needle
they whisper love
Love's embrace is
with a head without thorns
Love's wounds
Love's wounds
beyond that
The temperature of love
is sending to eyes
to keep love alive.

my basement
Yonah Jeong Oct 5
At that place
All kinds of junk are piled up
for decades,
my youth and
My old age is vibrating
secret garden
all flowers are in full
enduring the end of the world
time is saved
with my lip
with my ears
the breathing of my eyes
seesaw
love blossoms,
A new day on Earth is sprouting
my basement.
I am drawing the stairs
leading there.

Yonah Jeong Oct 5
If there is no equality out same
freedom cannot soar
like an eagle

If there is no freedom out attacks
equality cannot walk
like a turtle

If there are these two in the life
we cannot breathe
like all beings.

who love money more than people

with love, not discrimination
prove all

even if you disagree
do not discriminate, but love.
Yonah Jeong Oct 2
It's snowing
light
wind is blowing

with rain
covering a blanket of fog

her beloved I am
sailing on the sea

my love she sways me like that
Soothing and pushing me away
Gives me a painful dawn

Seeds of the morning
Your tears are
making a day a day a day

from now until eternity
from eternity until now

The Sea When She Lies
I am swimming
that sea to the beach

late at night
Drinking in the lighthouse lights
and i breathe with it.
