Poem-the shadow of you/invisible July 31, 2007

At 3:00AM
I stared at the ceiling from the bed
Sleepless, and loneliness
Looking for the way
How to control my anxiety
Suddenly the wind blew
From un-opened window
It touched me,
touched my ears to whisper
“I’m here…”
Lay down on my breast
“I need you”
Held on my whole body
“I miss you”
The shadow of you/invisible
You led me to the sleep
Release and be free
Yes, finally, I’m relieved…

Poem-the beginning of the summer July 30, 2007

The storm and thunder
It’s the beginning of the summer
Sweet petals of crape myrtle
Watch the birth of cicadas gently
I remembered our first summer
How the scenery was at that time
Same or different?
It doesn’t matter to me, somehow
We passed a lot of 4 seasons after that.
Tears, smile, anger, and laughter
to be back to the beginning of our history
When the sky [...]

Poem-curry rice July 29, 2007

From Monday to Saturday
From early morning to Midnight
Our home was only the place for resting your body
I listened to your exhausted sleeping breath
to release your mind with relief
Suddenly I go to the kitchen
Looking for my supportive fellows
Onion, carrot, potato and beef
Cut, chopped and boiled
Quartet entertained their dance in the pot
Thinking of  your words to me 2 days ago,
“I missed [...]

Poem-Cobalt Blue July 28, 2007

My dream in the early morning today
You and I
Face to face
Your hand caressd my hairs
Touched my lips
I looked at your gentle eyes
with your background of the air
dyed this unreal beauty of color for us
The moment you drew my body toward
Percolation started
The color to me as ONE
 
The air was perfectly Deep
Like the one for the sea in southern island
My beating heart wakes [...]

Poem-karaoke Boy July 27, 2007

Poem-Karaoke boy
Current mood: mischievous
Category: Writing and Poetry
From 2:00AM to 5:00AM
The boy, the next-door neighbor
He opens the window
Shouts and screams
Enjoys singing his favorite songs
No Audience except crows
No Applause except himself
In his contest as “Japanese Idol”
My irritated mind grins on the midnight 
To be “Simon” to talk to Him
“Sh, shh, ssh~~~~! Bxtchy Karaoke Boy!“
Don’t disturb us…anymore…
My voiceless favor to this damn guy
Real [...]

Poem-solitude, horizon July 26, 2007

The sealed silence
without any sounds
It is called Solitude on our place
The promise between you and I
On your telephone call to me tonight
Not to wait for
Your real laughter, hands, and smile
Not to waste
My real rest, sleep and tears
You say we share this ONE feeling
in different places
The office and our home
equally the same as yours and mine
Your deep love never makes me [...]

Poem-where I am/dementia July 25, 2007

“HELP ME, TELL ME WHERE I AM”
Howling to the passing people through the window
“I WONDER WHAT I SHOULD DO”
Raising your hopeless voice to the ceiling
When the evening dawn falls,
I turn on the lights in your room
Never face to me at all
You’re afraid of me…I’m a stranger
I cook your favorite feast in the kitchen
and the ”yummy” brings you the word-”MOM“
Then, [...]

Poem-Wrinkles July 24, 2007

Born in 1961
Watch my face on the mirror
Wrinkles & Gray hairs
The endless echo of one word-Aging  
In the train
Young couple holds their hands
My confused tears on the floor
Naked on the bed
You see my heart, not figure
Catching my smile only for you
Your relieved eyes only for me
Reflecting the crescent moon  
I fall to sleep happily
How calm it is…
Soul-mates

Poem-the train upon the sky July 23, 2007

Lonely night
Dreaming of  twinkle lights
The train ticket
From Monday  to Friday
The destination: The office
Before the moon falls to sleep
You get on and go
After the sunshine is tired to play
You work hard and know
My pray builds the railroad on the Milky way
To our home, your turninus
To catch your smile, voice, hands, and laughter
I would rather choose the English [...]

Poem-the more, the more… July 22, 2007

For my anxiety
You dried my tears
“Everyone has their death”
Finite or Infinite
Mortal or Immortal
Be or not Be
You looked upon the black night and
Gave your spell to me
The more we are apart from,
The deeper I love you…
I looked at your pure eyes
Gave my spell to you
The more I am with you
The more I feel how precious [...]
