Expression

RalphLeave a comment

why is it so hard to say “I love you”
when I am plunged in the work?
To have a space for a moment
and sit down next to you and say,
“I truly feel connected to you,”
is what I want to say, instead of
harangue about self-growth and discipline.
In my own, unconventional way,
I hope, this will reach you, some day.
wherever you are,
I wish you love.

Deceptions

RalphLeave a comment

little did I know
subtle misinformation
goes a long way.
a good faith in companion
did not last long.
unfortunate, I felt,
inevitable, I knew.
what can we do?
let what may go, go.
let what may come, come.
I will look at the part of horizon
where I am headed to.
where I lay my steps on
will merely be transient.
so let us not stop singing.
let us continue dreaming.
let us continue loving.

Clarity

RalphLeave a comment

it was as if the sky had cleared
by a water fall of shooting stars
across the stratosphere
a hot, thundering roar passed by.
what’s left is reverberating, spacious, and cool.
like an ironclad hammered
in smouldering ember,
cooled in deep blue ocean,
my head was clear like deep space,
full of wonders, possibilities, and unknowns
my heart willingly churning
for more adventures.
suddenly, all my fears became jokes
for hearty laughters.
what gives?
will this last?
I am just grateful to have a glimpse
through this window of clarity.
let’s see what we have for tomorrow.

Way

RalphLeave a comment

as I walk through the beach
I see people running;
some are running towards the ocean,
while others running towards the land.
some are dancing in the sand dune,
sweat droplets sprinkling over the desert
A few, I see then laying down under the sun
receiving, waiting for something unknown
all look merry in their occupation
but I walk the walk alone
steadily towards where my heart leads along.

Growing

RalphLeave a comment

you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.

Today

RalphLeave a comment

I did live today to my full potential
thanks to that, I remembered our days
days where we walked slowly together
talking about our dreams
and occasional dance we did together
in a warm haven of ours
oblivious to the world outside
smooth, soft, and slow
and when our eyes were open
crystal clear sun rays would tickle
world slowly awaken and reborn

오늘 하루 열심히 살았어요
덕분에 그대와의 좋은 기억이 났어요
세상이 어떻게 돌아가던
우리만의 아늑함 속에
느리게 추던 춤이 생각나요
