come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
unlike movies, unlike novels, unlike commercials,
there aren’t time for silence.
each second testifies against (for) your existence
so I say, take that extra step to go a distance
do not be afraid to be naked
to your own conscious, not others’
for love, for hope, for courage, for faith,
take that extra step towards your goal

as if core of sun enveloped into my chest,
like warmth after slurping on a hot miso soup
heat radiates from my heart chambers
seeing your letters.
it’s one of the reasons why I keep together
after getting marked with scars after scars
by the nature, and by fellow humans.
to keep warmth going, to meet at our rendez-vous. thank you for giving me something to hold onto.

did you know
that when you broke your silence
light seems to flow with honey
air seems lighter than gravity
and quietly the world started blossom
did you know
that beneath colorful harlequin
lies a grim guardian
to a child, ever fearful
of love.
did you know?

when you feel shades of life
slipping into roots of your spine
bringing slow, murky weight to your eyes
covering labels of black and white
when you feel the internal clock needle
pushing you to make a choice a little
too fast for your own good
drink a warm bowl of white clam chowder
a soulful companion, an unconditional lover,
your pupils will open to what was unknown
flooding your nerves with blessings enthrone
yes, it takes a white clam chowder to experience it. now go on!

when the heart aches,
and it’s raining all over,
bright day’s long way to go,
smile.
smile, not only out of spite,
but from a goodwill too
it won’t last forever,
but nor will this pain be too.

in the desert, all you can hope is
that tomorrow, things will be different
but sizzling hot sand dunes,
dryness in air is constant
reminder of misery of this journey
but at night, when the darkness
arrived in its cold carpet,
and the only thing that shines
is the moon and the stars in sky,
it’ll remind you of warm blood in you.

here you are again,
alone in this dark world
gazing up at those star dust
waiting the end to come.
from dust to dust
from the start, it’s been a good rush
some say candlelit’s brightest at the end
so this is the time to live.
from dust to dust we go
hey-ho, here we go.

why is it that
it is much endeavored
when it hurts
it is much neglected
when it is pleasing?
아마도 당신이
나에게는 어떤 의미가 있는게 아닐까
그저 아픈 내 몸을 바닥에 누이며
환한 달을 두 눈으로 처다보며
조심스레 속삭여 본다.

I stared up
out of blue
just to stare at the sky
golden ray of sun
showered onto trees
and brick buildings
I blinked a couple times
observing passerby
moving seamlessly
I felt the touch of the wind
I felt my feet on the ground.
I felt my arms moving on my sides.
then I thought about you.
I am here, alive.
you are there, alive.
how miraculous is it
that we are both alive
at this time and this place?

By happenchance, I opened the book
hidden under layers of aged dusts
encrypted sceneries, mysteries, chivalry
revealed as if they had been here all along
chewing on twigs of wise revelry
eloquently and delicately stylished
perhaps the breeze I felt on dusky evening
was once a scent from the long past unended
cheers to you, my old friend.
