If destroy one
for self
become a devil

If destroy popular
for self
become a hero

If you look closely at
his yourself
there is the answer.

You 2
Yonah Jeong Apr 9
something special
love made you
everyone has a choice
everyone is unique
laughter, tears, even anger
similar but
not the same
aren't you like us, the stars
rainbows, flowers, birds. streams & cobblestones
They're similar but
not the same
Same with parents and siblings
look at you!
am I right?
love made us that way
is making us this way
So we share, shake hands, hug
each other
with love alone
Always. Throughout time...

Miracle 2
Yonah Jeong Jan 5
Noon sunshine
Deep Night Moonlight
All Perfect Dark Friends
Listening to the Stars Sing
Standing trees in the forest
Pebbles in the stream
Frozen blades of grass in the field
"Winter"
Ears of rice bowing their heads
Under the eaves
Silence in a beehive
like these
Miracle comes as miracles
(sneakily)
and give birth to the ordinary.

The world has gone mad
Yonah Jeong Jul 28
The world has gone mad
People who don't say that the world has gone mad
point fingers at those who cry out that the world has gone mad
saying they are mad
Pointing fingers is not sad
but it is sad that it is not the world
but people who are going mad
It is so sad.
Yonah Jeong May 21
From here, where there is no one
To the end of that tunnel
You and I, who will be missed
Will we walk together, our heads together
In this light
Shall we walk together, silently
Shall we walk backwards
Shall we whisper together
Silence
Towards a future that will not come
Under the faint, dusty light
With our shoulders affectionately touching
To the end of that tunnel
Will the two of us
Will you and I, who will be missed
Will we walk together
In this light
Taking a step back.

The beauty of labor
Yonah Jeong Feb 7
That warm wind
That warm tree branches
That warm wooden steps
That warm grass leaves
That warm shadows
That warm home scenes
That warm stick pencils
And
If you write poetry
with a red pen on a cold table
In the blank sheet of paper
What luxury on earth would i envy?

There is nothing else!

song of skylark
Yonah Jeong Jan 23
From a distance
tree branches tremble

Today, in front of the park
like a Chicago street
frozen pedestrians
passing by
like oil drops
falling on hot water

In front of a glass window

On an old wooden table

A woman in a black teacup

Looks up

While stirring

The "not too strong fragrance"

pick up the struggling woman and
embrace her

And drink the reduced "not too hot" coffee

The woman comes inside
with the coffee
and
stops time
and
flows like blood
Inside out.......

The turtle

On whose side is victory.

Tell Me
Yonah Jeong May 3
No matter how much I look for it
I can't find that poetry book...

I'm sure I've seen it

But no matter how hard I search it

When I sit quietly and think about it

It's quietly hidden in the depths of my heart

It's a bigger regret than not finding the poetry book

What is it?
Where is it?

Moon and Sun
Yonah Jeong Jan 15
I

The Moon
looks differently
depending on Time and Place

The Sun
doesn't look differently
depending on Time and Place

II

The Moon reflects experiences
The Sun gives experiences

III

The moon allows us to have beauties
The Sun allows us to have one faith.

Yonah Jeong Mar 24
now the one-year-old
Samuel
call me
once
twice
three times
emotionally charged
all differently
"haboo"
"HAboo"
"haBOO"
calling me unconditionally
to a loving call
my loneliness is gone

tonight
Samuel's mom and grandma
are on the phone
he interrupts and says
while looking and calling
for me smiling
he walks up the phone line to me
The tightrope master
like Philippe Petit...

Love knows know
love doesn't know no

Love is invisible
love is felt

Love is dependent
love is independent

Love is eternally immutable
love is always new

Love is tempting
love is incorruptible

Love is the morning dews
Love is the beauty of survival.

still not being forgotten
For you I burn my will
I'm struggling
I let the good times go by
              for you who will be forgotten

still not being forgotten
For you I walk a crooked life path
I don't tell anyone
I don't hold on to the painful
              for you who will be forgotten

still not being forgotten
For you I denounce the cruel sins
I endure the times of suffering  
              for you who will be forgotten

For you who will soon be forgotten
for the faith it was so long and long
I untie the ropes of love
             for you who cannot be forgotten.

asking
and receive a message
look for and find
A treasure that seem unattainable
and try to get
at the door
without trying to open it
and knocking
on the door
and opens on its own.
Yonah Jeong Jan 1
to keep your love
hiding in your heart
to forget your hurt
hiding in your tears

wherever you are there
escape your right
whenever you are there
seek your wrongs

at last
you will find your true love
just like the first time.

sky meets sea
the softest
a curve of straightest line
seeable


go there
sea meets sky farther away
the sweetest
a straight line of curve
open

they can't meet
it exhibits meeting of love .

It is cannot have

next to a young maple tree
next to an elderly evergreen
standing facing each other

Autumn is passing
As winter approaches

the maple tree
in the calm morning breeze
like snow
fall on the evergreen's
red and reddish
Make it a young tree

In mid-October.

Your Hammer
Yonah Jeong Mar 28
Walls of division and anger
hammer sleeping in the basement
so it doesn't rust
Like a duck's ***
May your poem words
waddling around
and walk
let there be
a hammer breaks down a house
but only tear down the walls
and not break the home of house
Sing a song of the crumbling walls
and I hope your party song
to spread far and wide
let us see a new world beyond the walls
following the song
As a duck finds a worm
in the grass and eats them
hatred between people
eat them so be strong
and tear down your walls
It's your hammer, your immunity.

About Rejection
Yonah Jeong Jul 21
Rejection
an invisible foundation
an inevitable process

It is the
foundation on which the building
of life is built
shaken by storms but
not crumbling

It is also the rejection
of the world that creates new paths

The gift of rejection
driver's seat belt

When you persevere and persevere
and persevere
it becomes a safer love

Rejection ends (someday).

From the morning Kitchen
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
Wood-colored wallpaper all around
On the old table and floor
Pale morning shadows move
Stains or
oil droplets on the water
dancing cheerfully
In the square chests of drawers
coins sing while bumping
and dance
this is how start the day
In the kitchen, little Samuel
clapping and laughing with mom
with rice paste glued to cheeks
with his hands spread wide
where finds daily bread,
In the kitchen
love overflows like a zipper
riding the train rails
to a safe emergency exit
where language of secret air runs wild
one fall morning in the kitchen
where all beings undress and re-dress
where the feeling of blessing
begins to knead the day
and even silence turns into gold,
our kitchen on the way to winter
that makes the future decorated
my Mother  laborious Hug
Stay here Forever.

The Sky of Sea

The ocean
                  the rushing cupidity
                                                     and then clouds.
and then rain

A luxury cruise ship
                                   the flashing lights
                                                                  they become stars
covering the sky.

I don't have to hide business

Wrapping me up, because.

about my wife
Yonah Jeong Dec 2024
From the morning
My wife's eyes are red
She was always bright
Now her laugh is faint
Richard and Karen are fighting
Save money on cosmetics
She can't even go to the concert
Worried about car payment
She can't buy their parents' medicine
even tonight
She think about money
beside her
I feel
My wife is not a woman
who only knows money
after knowing the fact
I shake my heart
and pull back the black veil
between her and me.

That we sat together

That we couldn't hide ourselves
That we became each other's shadow.
