do you feel the fire in your chest
it’s okay if you don’t
but you’d better find it with your best
because if you don’t
you’ll be lost in the darkness
it’s better to be the light in dark to be honest

Fire
walk into the fire
if you try to survive
you will fail
if you dare to live right
you will succeed.
pain is transient
but your deeds will be remembered.
walk into the fire.
it will be alright.

Fire
don’t go chasing that fire
it’s bright and hot
but after chasing it down the road
all you get is vainglory
thrill, scars, and title
what do they do for you?
in a world
where a door to another world
is just a fraction of a second away
in a world
where thousands of hours of preparation
is just for this one moment
perhaps,
perhaps you can live without
that fire.

when there’s fire growing in you,
be aware of where it is directing you
with fierce momentum,
you may actually be heading towards a wall
and when you hit the wall
euphoria, thrill, and energy all will dissipate
memories of bravado and chivalry
all but a blip in the realm of infinite desert
be aware of where the fire brings you
and pray that prudence will safeguard you

Fire
ah why did I touch again
this contagious bursts of fire
buzzing of thousands bee
on the tip of my tongue
I grasp into air
for a glass of milk that is not there
and then I realize
what my intestine will go through
not too long from this ordeal
oh well.
it was fun while it lasted.

Fire
where is the fire within your heart?
lighting your path beyond time and space?
warming those around you and lighten up?
keeping you awake at every waking moment?
where is your virtue?
where do you lay your head?
what song do you sing out of your heart?
why do you wake up each morning?
where is the fire within your heart?
춥고 어둔 순간에도
주변에 있는 모두를 따스하게 하던
너의 불꽃은 어디있는가.
그대는 정녕 가슴 뛰는 삶을 살고 있는가.

Friday Morning
it was gray color in the morning
but there is a fire where no one’s looking
shivering in cold from still harsh weather
shielding a heart from a world still tougher
but let it stand against the cold
withstand fear and get hurt and hold
the triumphant knowledge
the world you’ve witnessed

Scribbling
scribbling on an iPad
as if to set it on fire
words float in mind
like cereals in the ocean
of oat milk
rub them well, squeeze them tight,
but they won’t stick
and morph into ugly
before you know it
yet, you row
row like there is a final stop
row like you will be saved
row like there will be an end
to this suffering one day

Fire potato
a potato on fire rolls down the hill,
in the darkness of night sky, it is a shooting star.
what is there to lose, when we are already losing to ever faster speed of time.
better to rock and roll, bumping into things
and cracking things open, such as your heart,
so that it will shed all the dirty residues
and shine as the purest gem.
it hurts, it’s supposed to hurt.
don’t let go of that grip of your grit
and get on with it. see things for yourself.
good things are out there.

Fire Moth
All we see is the light that dances in the darkness.
Coldly marching drumbeats into the silence,
Sedulous wings whispers,
‘This must be the way, the only way’
Fire dances in the darkness,
Ever more alluringly.
