Relative truth

"Normal, a term we all know well,
Yet, its meaning begins to unravel and tell.
A spider's intricate web, a marvel to see,
Is normal to the spider, but a hazard to the butterfly.

Is normal an illusion we create?
A relative truth that varies with each state?
A concept that shift like sand of the ground,
Leaving us questioning what's truly profound?
                                                                                          ~Byeol

A foreigner's lament

"They look at me with contempt, 
Because I am from a foreign land, 
a different guise.
But  don't forget the thing:
We share the same genetic code,
In our heart 'n blood.
We are all brothers and sisters, all in one
Homosapiens beneath the same sun.
We are linked by threads of DNA,
So fine, a tapestry of life interwined.
Let's recognise our common spirit,
After all, we are all humans, breathing the same air.
                                                                                                    ~Byeol

Elixir of the corporate

"The morning coffee, like morning dew,
Fresh and soothing, a gentle brew.
Like petrol for cars, it fuels our grind,
A corporate slaves life blood, forever aligned.

In our veins, it flow like life itself,
A daily ritual, a moment's wealth.
We cherish it so, this bitter delight,
Might we mistaken  for Elixir, in the 
Morning light?" 
                                                                      ~Byeol

A Father's pleading

By mystic river's waters,
Shielding mountains, illuminating sun,
With clear jade, embrace unintentional mistakes.
Within five kowtow, seeking heavenly 
Kindness beneath.

Just like this, Fuqin kowtow five times to,
'Mountain outside the family' and 'Dragon king'
To embrace the 'iron flower', protect her
And let drop of water washes away the mistake.
                                                                                                 ~Byeol

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 
 Fuqin: father
Mountain outside family: in-laws
Dragon King: daughter husband 
Iron flower: daughter 
Let drop of water washes away mistake: forgive unintentional mistakes 

Explanation: this poem highlights the cultural and historical context of many Asian countries 
Where in-laws family are revered as equivalent to or given as much respect like dieties.
Just as people bow 5 time to river, mountain and sun to seek protection and forgiveness for unintentional mistakes,the father bows 5 time to in-laws and husband. This gesture show the immense respect required of bride family towards groom family in historic times.

Lady Tua

Lady Tua, frequently look in the pond,
 but who may tell her ladyship?
 That turbulent water shows no reflection.

                                                                                  ~Byeol

The poisonous

Within the scorpion's belly,
mother's blood is the meal.
I wonder,Is that's why scorpion is poisonous? 
But be the lamb of sheep or the child of scorpion,Both are young sprouts.
I wonder, so does the scorpion taste "sweetness that linger on tongue,
A piercing pain in the throat, the soul torn apart". 
                                                                                               ~Byeol

The silk merchant

Silk merchant 's gaze, a practical sweep,
Fine thread he seeks, where shadows sleep.
A finger points, with eager grace,
"This crimson hue, a rare embrace!"

Young maiden stands,with eyes so deep,
My mother's hand, it secret keep.
The silkworm spun a crimson stain,
Where pain and love, did interwine.

"Her wounded hands, the thread did hold"
A sacrifice, a story to told.
The silk, it glows, with life's own fire,
A mother's love, that "burns no higher".

Merchant's hand is still it's quest,
A sudden weight, upon his breast.
No words he speaks, no price he names,
But feels the sting, of hidden flames.

He sees not silk, but crimson Tide,
Where love and loss, forever ride.
The silent tears, the woven plea,
A mother's heart, eternally.
                                                          ~Byeol

The remaining soldier

(From1)
Snowflakes whisper peace, in Frozen air,
Echoes of battle, comrade beyond repair.

(Form2)
Alone I stand, in snowy vastness wide,
Blood- soaked memories, my comrade demise.

(Form3)
Before me, snow's pure silence deep,
Behind crimson shadows, comrades sleep.
                                                                                    ~Byeol

Old flame

In depth of memory, a glance lingers
A fleeting connection, a spark that flickers.
Eyes once locked in a shared universe,
Now a distant memory, a celestial transverse.

The shock of electricity that once courses through,
A jolt of recognition, a heart that was anew.
Has given way to the whisper of time,
A reminder of moment left behind.
The chat on my phone a digital echo,
Remind of the last seen 2 years ago.   
                                                                            ~Byeol

The general

With the thousands troop, I the general stride.
Below the land of ancestors pride.
Where dragon soars and tiger leaps with might.
For this, my sword tainted with river of blood.
Bears felony's weight , a mountain heavy tide.
My heart a rock, no regret, no shame reside.
                                                                                     ~Byeol
