Best Chun Poems

Wings of bronze, Wings of silver, Wings of gold.
 Soar with me in a flight so bright.
 Show me not Icarus' flight.
 Fly with me in the darkest night.
 Give flight and air to feathers so light.
 Love for you makes me soar.

Oh, look over there!
There's a button that makes life easy,
wait, what's that? 
There is no easy button! 
Someone forgot to mention,
self-destruct is a straightforward path.
Like a yellow brick road so simple to follow.
Deviation from a path so obvious.
Woe betide the one that takes the easy...

Sweet flowing hands
Sweeping charm
Dancing slowly
Like wings
of a butterfly

His eyes - gentle, perceiving, acknowledging
In the midst of silence, he's aware of her every move

Sliding along 
Shuffles feet
as arms 
go back
Taking snake shape
The great cobra strikes

His lips - challenged, firm yet slightly amused
In the midst of chaos,...

(for those in Kwangju: May 18, 1980)*
after Dante

Taking this peach within the mouth, the tongue 
hovers around its sunset skin like a lover
and its Sappho sweet bite is heaven. A song

of honeysuckled rivers is like your
kiss… The night is in July. At once
Platonic love is...

Took a lifetime to find you.
 Someone who matches me in stride.
 Who feels the same as I do for them.
 I know why it never worked with another.

 It's beyond words these feelings I have.
 An emotion of triumph, of contentment, of bliss.
 You...

Share a thought, a look a touch.
Nerves on fire as fingers tingle,
two hearts beat in silent wonder.
Step beside me and match my pace,
breathe the fragrance of cool night air.
put your arm around me and hold me close.
Heat radiates a soothing warmth.
Look up at the moon...

PRELUDE

The song expresses the feelings of an Indian village girl. Her parents have fixed her
marriage (It generally happens in the rural areas of India, even to-day). She is about to
leave for the first time for her in-law’s place. She do not want to go to...

Forever in our minds,
Forever in our hearts.
Eternity will be yours,
for to forget we will not.
Many a years you lived,
a presence you once were.
Touched forever the lives of today,
from moments of yesterday.
You gave of yourself everyday,
even though tomorrow will never come.
Missed you will be,
but you will...

A year ago today,
I had to say goodbye.
Life went on and continued on its way.
Your humor, your smile, your depth of honesty.
Lost in a moment that seemed like yesterday.
Poorer are we all the day you passed away.
Moments lost and conversations never to be had.
Yet memories...

I came to your house this morning
And posted something for you,
My favourite crushed can of Special Brew.
But I don't think you noticed,
I don't think you cared
Or maybe you were just a little bit scared.
I'm constantly thinking of you.

I walked past the pond at midday 
To...

Come over here.
 Hush, hush quiet.
 Thread your arm through mine, cover up your ears.
 Hush, hush quiet.
 Eyes like coals, burning hot.
 A stench a smell a fetid breath.
 A bellowing roar, the crack of a plate.
 Windows tremble and the walls shake.
 Hold...

A single note, so pure and sweet.
 piercing your soul, cutting so deep.
 Lightning flashes, so bright and white.
 Blinding your eyes, burning your sight.
 It happens so fast, so quick with might.
 un-expectantly shocking, to the bone it strikes.
 Emotions tumbling, confusing and frightening,

Don't turn away, Don't blink an eye.
 In some respect we never see,
 faster than we can ever believe.
 Once standing proud, on solid ground.
 You cannot know, you cannot grieve.
 All you can know is what will be.
 Memories are all that's left,
