Whatever joy
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
Whatever joy flows
        even the rivers of love
        the sky of love
        the starry sea of love
flow like the joy of love

deep, deep, deep
get ****** into
                           silence of the abyss
into silence of the deep abyss

just bread soaked with
       regret and tears
it just goes down throat

The first laugh of the first meeting
30 years ago
                     becoming joy
                     It flows away.

My Friend Robert
Yonah Jeong May 22
When you come to me
to hide your freckles
You covered face with palms and laughed
Robert's sister
Same
When you see me in the distance
With shirt on backwards
and hid behind a pillar
She had a scent
The scent was not her body
but from her smiles
She was serious
With a flower pen
"I want to be a beautiful woman"
She told me
With an owl
In the moonlight
I hugged just once
I never saw her after that
Only the wolf's howl filled the room
I was so surprised
I woke up from my dream
I looked out the window
It passed seven lakes
A single morning star drifting somewhere
I am missing his sister
Angela more than Robert
This moment.

Wildflower 3
Yonah Jeong Jan 10
The departed
waiting for the day to return
On the way
scattered azalea petals
Two low mountains in the distance
that meet the black field below
A calm black lake
A water-clored waves
On its edge
blooming azaleas
By its side
a brief glimpse of
The road that seems long
the way you are coming.

The end of the world
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
really
all the glaciers
in the Arctic and Antarctic melt?

Will the earth be submerged?
is there someone other than
humans who owns the earth?

Will nature become more primitive?
Who is painting
such poignant beauty?

When My Love Itches
Yonah Jeong Apr 16

First Kiss
Yonah Jeong Jan 16
Everybody knows
The end is the end
of the beginning
Want to know the end
Pay attention to
Courses also
It's a process of it
it is half

There is no turning back
Do not be angry
Voice and Position of the Heart
Do not exalt

There are many different forms of flowers
Existence itself is the same
The various values of flowers
coincide.

Late October
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
A elk family
strolling leisurely While shaking head
from side to side

Holding on to autumn and driving away winter
Entering the Red Sea Forest
Stepping on fallen leaves and snowflakes

Someone's pretending to be
The frozen time is released
The day is printed out at the ATM.

My two Heros
Yonah Jeong May 26
When I first knew
about him
I could not think
that my behavior would met society
And I fell deeply in love with it
not my thoughts and words
I flied on the two wings
of first love of freedom and equality
I was facing the sun
Fortunately
I was not on the moon, or Mars, or Jupiter
Before I crashed
I came back to here
The sun is still there, but
I still believe the sun rises and sets
I'm seeing him again
Making up for my 2% shortfall
so that I don't envy the sun anymore
And be my two eyes
Wittgenstein.

Love Is Calling
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
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.

dried banana chips to you
yesterday
i gave her
smiling brightly as always
received
after the night
enduring life in loneliness
this morning
we exchanged morning greetings again
climbing the stairs
she called out
with her face
like a fragrance that's not strong
and she smiled
Helen said
“broken my tooth eating them”
her face again had
a smile spread across her face
i didn't know what to do
I just said "I am so sorry"
turning around,
Helen said, “pray for me.”
as I walked back up the stairs
I prayed......

forsaken Conscience
Yonah Jeong Dec 2024
In front of the bank
on the marble staircase
a blind boy
with all his fingers cut off
with his right hand
clutching a dented basket
and bend at the waist and continue

A slender woman holding parasol
passes in front of him
and spat out gum
and tosses him a bill

In the distance
a boy watching from a distance
quietly approaches
and leaves
after placing a single coin inside it

In an alleyway
for a long time
while his head down
and whistling a tune
disappears.

When parents are greedy, they become obstacles for their children.
Yonah Jeong Aug 2024
Going down Apt. stairs
saw a dozing sparrow by the window
held down a sparrow
a sparrow escaped to upstairs rooftop
but hit beak to an locked iron door and
be shut in the corner
pressed a sparrow with flat bag softly
left hand grabbed and caught
with proud emotion
to bus station
walked in deep thoughts

Fly a night
when the morning comes
will ask mother then forcibly
will tie a sparrow ankle with thread sturdy
from yard to rice paddies and a empty field
a grandson will scamper

While i feel so good
my right fingers relaxed
flapping
opened wings powerful
circled around top of an electric pole
a sparrow grew
farther and farther
away

Ah!
a dream of mine.

Dreams are not goals, they are companions.
Yonah Jeong Nov 2024
rough waters
an endless sea of doom
sailors and passengers,
and the captain
are still sailing
Clouds over a blue sea
The moonlight becomes fog
and the stars twinkle
Taste like porridge
an atmosphere of hopelessness,
a ship in pieces,
and the harbor in their eyes
It is beckoning.......
Now, one by one, the peoples are lowered
the old man,
the women,
the children.
And then it is our turn
shivering in the freezing cold
Closer and closer to the sea
bells ring
people left behind gathered
at the top of the ship
But a boat appear
And it is a bigger boat than a big ship
A Lighthouse Keeper
running toward US
We get on the boat
on the extremist waves.

even as clouds disperse

even as they are not mine
