Throw

RalphLeave a comment

I want to make a throw that matters.
No matter what others laugh at or say
I want to make a point for you.
And for this, I throw it with all I have.

Getting ride of impurities
by thousands of hammering strikes
I want to get rid of false images in my head
with a excoriating heat of silence.

언젠가 떠오르리라
가슴에 품은 정열의 꿈.

Into the storm

RalphLeave a comment

distracting sound of cicada dissipates
leaving only the dull weight of silence
no whimsical wind of innocence
only unforgiving reminder of quietness

open your eyes now, truly, and see
what the world truly is made to be
if you can stomachs what you see
wiggle your toe and move with me

고난을 암시한 고요함이 도착하고
살아남기 위해서 집중하는 시간이 온다.
진실을 보고도 견딜 용기가 있다면
조금이라도 움직일 용기가 있다면
움직여라.

Explosion

Ralph4 Comments

strangely, there’s no regret.
perhaps this was waiting to happen:
shouting at the top of the lung,
spitting out all dumb words,
and stomping like a gorilla.

I felt a dark fermented matter
evaporating from white hot fury.
it may have been in a blind spot corner
but now it’s gone, there’s clarity
there’s lightness in the heart.

Is this what I had been ignoring all along?
has this monster been in my blind spot all this time?
how can I address the stem of this element?
it’s a time for a change.
change to see things for what they are
and moving towards a better light.

낯설다. 분노의 탈이 쓰인 모습이.
어디에서 온것이고
어떻게 생기게 된것이고
왜 존재하는가
의문심을 품게 되는 저녁이다.

Embrace

RalphLeave a comment

can’t we embrace it all
the joy, pain, and tears;
slowly grooving,
humming,
loving all of each step
towards the final doorstep
falling melodically to embrace
this journey’s majestic grace

조금씩, 이 여정의
아주 작으마한 부분까지도
우린 사랑할 수 있을까

Skin in the game

RalphLeave a comment

if it doesn’t bring joy
get rid of ‘em
it can get scary
to be free again
but when you are from dust
what have you got to fuss?
you matter.
your time matter.
remember.

구질구질한 하루
꾸역꾸역 살아가기 보단
조금씩이라도
어렸을적 즐거움을 주던
그 길을 찾아 걸어가보는건
어떨까.

Flying solo

RalphLeave a comment

when the world fell apart,
I know what I had to do.
but when the peace arrived,
I found myself flabbergasted.
paralyzed by too much possibilities
when I try to remember
what got me here
majority of it was spite,
to survive at all costs,
guilt,
to keep promises long overdue,
and a bit of love,
of the people I may not see again.
so I wonder,
if this path leads to more of the love.
more of virtue,
more of friendships,
and more of gratitude.

Active Quietness

RalphLeave a comment

I am looking for an organic silence;
an active quietness with a purpose
sidestepping from mindless noises
submerging into a zone of focus

it may be a minute difference,
but with a full purpose and focus —
you just wait and see — explosion:
one filled with all kinds of imagination.

고요함 속에
천천한 변화 속에
새로운 세상이
불꽃처럼 등장하길
기도하고 있다.
