A Whisperer’s Tale

In whispers of verse, a stranger’s hand,
A nameless scribe across the sand.
No thirst for praise, nor gilded name,
Just heart laid bare, a burning flame.

“Let ink now flow,” the whisper said,
“Of hollow spaces in our head.
What mirth we feign, what laughter rings,
When echoes dance on silent wings?”

A silent call, a kindred plea,
To walk a path, eternally.
A stream of souls, with purpose set,
For tranquil shores, where worries fret.

“Let those who cling to shadows stay,”
The voice intoned, “a brighter way
Awaits us all, a common ground,
Where skyward dreams in hearts are found.”

So reach, dear souls, with hands unfurled,
To brush the azure of a world,
Where emptiness finds purpose true,
And whispered tales are born anew.

Chasing the Dot – A Dreamer’s Journey

Dream, until it became a dot,
A distant speck, a far-off spot,
Once so vivid, now so small,
A memory of what enthralled us all.

We chased it with such fervent might,
A vision that filled our days and nights,
We held it close, we held it tight,
Our beacon, our hope, our guiding light.

But dreams, they’re fragile, and they can fade,
A wisp of smoke, a fragile shade,
And so it was, we watched it slip away,
Slowly, surely, day by day.

And yet, though it may seem so far,
That dream still shines, a distant star,
A glimmer of hope that still inspires,
And fills our hearts with burning fires.

So dream, my friend, and never stop,
Chase that vision, reach the top,
For even if it seems too far,
Your dream is never just a dot.

Heart To Heart

I love you with everything in me, 
And the thing I fear the most is losing you. 
I can’t stop thinking about you;
You are always there.
I look everywhere,
On the ground and in the air. 
You’re there when I’m ready to go to sleep.
And the whole night long.
When I wake up, you are there.
I never lose sight of you.
I think about you all the time,
And you have won my heart over.
I adore you a lot.
And don’t want to be apart ever.
I’m blessed to be in love with my best friend.
Happiness followed when you entered in my life, 
You are as sharp as a knife, my best friend.
as quiet as the ocean before a tsunami.
You made my dreams shine and calmed my soul.
Your kindness softens my falls.
And bring back lost pride and hope,
You made me feel good about myself.
Your smile melts my sadness,
Your trust in me helps me get through;
What would I do if I lose you?
You’re kind, patient, and willing to forgive.
Hard-to-find good qualities.
And this very unique mix
tells all about my Jaanemun.

If You Love Me

If you love me
give me all of your pain
every one of your tears
let me take them away.

If you love me
Let me feel your pain, we’ll come to an agreement
If I keep your pain in my chest, then we’ll agree.
Give me your everything that hurts you.

If you love me
Why don’t you tell me my love, what’s wrong?
Why don’t you share troubles.
Give me a little bit of your love, my heart.

If you love me
I can’t see tears in these beautiful eyes.
May your eyes always twinkle and these lips always smile.
Give me all of your worries, Oh sweet love.

I don’t know if it’s a dream

I wish I shut my eyes
Somewhat longer to dream,
To plunge into the dreams,
Emotional real factors
Stowing away under the psyche.

It alarms me to death;
What I see
Furthermore, I awaken to the real world.
I advise myself
“That was only a fantasy”.

Perhaps the truth is a fantasy
What’s more, what I dream, a reality.
As a general rule,
I fantasy about awakening just to figure it out
“That was only a fantasy”.

Here and there
I wonder
How I have came this far.
Now I don’t have the foggiest idea
What a fantasy is.
