A Flower and A Snake
A flower and a snake
met one day.
The flower climbed up
the snake impulsively.
The snake has been carryng
the flower
on its back
since that day.

I felt
I felt your lips
over mine
one morning.
I opened my eyes
and found it was
a dream.
I felt your heartbeat
over mine
one day.
I opened my eyes

Sleep
Woke up
slept for quite a while
severe noise
around me
I look around
The wind
The hills
The sands
The flowers
as usual
were there
before I went to sleep
Your hand
as usual
was there
before I went to sleep

Snow
One day a bird sang
a song in some far away country.
It could be heard
from this shore.
In that country, it was snowing.
The song, however, came back
crossing the ocean to this shore.
It reached the shore
with the snow though.

In The Wells of Silence
In the wells of silence
a dropp of word
might stir
the whole tranquility
of the utter silence
and a dropp of sigh
might disturb the whole
serenity there
What about a dropp of God's sigh
and a dropp of Jesus' blood
combined?
That will be a new revolution! ! ! ! !

Eavan's Grandma
She feared the women
at the port when her
husband's ship docked
there the port.
She went to the port
to see her husband
each time he arrived
I like the man
and the wife.
'Aren't they
the same kind of girls
anyway? ' he thinks,
she doesn't know it.

A Young Lad
A young Lad
one day
very quietly,
softly, gently
and artistically
confessed his love
to a young maiden
as quiet,
soft, gentle
and artistic

A Greek Wedding
Flowers are white
They were everywhere
the bride went
People in white robes stood around
the bride
singing a farewell song
I cried.
The bride then stepped
out towards the alter
with her mother

A Bright Shining Star
A bright shining star
fell on a desert.
He went deep down
into the sand hills.
A few years had passed.
The wind finally discovered him.
He asked the star, 'Why are you here? '
The star said, 'I fell
accidently from the sky.'
Then the wind asked again,
'Why don't you try to go up? '
The star answered, “Because I am a star,
I don't have to go up.'

Fox
Mother gave birth
to a baby boy
he got bit
by a fox
and began
to lose his weight
The fox was
caught
and was made
into mother's
keep-warm ornament
eventually.
His eyes still
blinked blue
at nights
I flinched
several times
when I lay
on my stomach
before his eyes
