an eternal triangle

i ask a risky question to her/
she makes an imitation smile for you/
you keep a poker face/
...i sense your love which was
born in libra.../
when she leaves this table/
for another tea/
shall i cry and show you my tears?/
shall i?/
or/
shall i punch your face?/
shall i?

tulip: doubt

seaside memory

naive feelings...appear and disappear/
the seaside cafe is in sepia color/
"see you next summer"
he left a short note/
i buried it in the sand..../
hanging sandals from my fingers/
strolling on the beach/
the sea breeze grazed
my sunburned shoulders/
it whispers to me that
fall is coming around/
he drew my initial on a white shell/
he kissed me during the sea roar/
it is already a far memory/
in a far summer...

dandelion: suggestive

heavy rain on august

a sweltering night was struck
by a hurricane/
the raging sea mocked a summer love/
you filled two glasses with
champagne for "good-bye"/
i smirk with a critical bluff/
i said "i love you" after the toast/
i'm still looking for a better last line...

narcissus: pride

the queer wind which colored with sweet blue

calm afternoon/
the sunlights are shining through
the dark green leaves of trees/
in a white cottage, at a white terrace/
smell of mint tea/ sounds faintly of a flute?/
perfect moment for seeing my summer off/
i hide your phone number under my cup/
i love to keep only your smile in my mind/
this pleasant happening is.../
a gift from the queer wind/
which colored with sweet blue...

color: pleasure

weekend's sunset

downtown in sunset/
a throng of people/ a peal of laughter/
i pretend to read a book at a cafe/
cinnamon-coffee.../
tastes a little bitter
smells like a lost love.../
i thought i wanted to be alone/
i was just scared that
i was dyeing your color like a spilled ink.../
averting my eyes from happy couples/
a part of me stares at a guy who
looks like you...

daybreak

a skyscraper trembles with tears/
the morning sun pours in through the buildings/
two movie tickets are in my pocket/
i tear them up/
a trendy love story scatters like my memories/
daybreak.../
awakened from a long dream/
...my feelings are still sleeping in his arms...

chrysanthemum: catastrophe

*o-ru-go-lu

intoxicated with my transient dreams
i sit by a window, mellow with wine
i wind a spring of my tiny o-ru-go-lu
recalling my girlhood's spirits...
pleasures... griefs...
they drift around with chopin's melody

the past days' memories are always sweet
as a wild rose trembles in the moonlight
even pains, recur to me beautifully.
if i had a new mainspring in my heart
i would wind it to play a song of love;
an unspoken love; but i'm too fragile...
my heart has rusted in the stream of time
i sing old, broken songs to myself
the sounds are grated... my life needs repair.

*orugolu = a music box

don't touch me

just flirt for a moment/
and good-bye.../
i am too clumsy to play like that.../
i happened to find your pureness
behind your smile.../
don't touch me/
i am too old-fashioned for this...

thistle: jest

credulous girl

you will say "good-bye" to me/
if i tell you that i know all about her/
evenings, weekends, you are always
too busy to see me/
only perfunctory conversations over the phone,
maintain our relationship/

but, please.../
let me just keep smiling/
let me just keep dreaming/
let me just keep pretending
like an innocent girl/
i don't care people make fun of me/
even using your lies.../
i don't want to let you go...

poppy: consolation

love sick

hugging shoulders by myself in a hot shower/
humming an old song/
water drops drips on the glass/
reflecting an awkward confused little girl.../
he just took me out for one drink.../
that's all.../
in fear of getting hurt/
in fear of loosing mind.../
still.../
keep thinking about him...

flashback

heavy rain drops/
crazy percussion on the asphalt/
...suddenly everything turns to a slow-motion/
...you/
it's you who is surely standing
in front of me.../
the time is going back to the past in high speed/
flashback my hot emotions with bitter memories/
my words are completely lost sounds/
don't move/
please/
do not move...

rain lily: bitter memory

blue moon

the lake lurked in the moonlight curtain
the lake is paved the thin ice carpet
don't step in there for curiosity
the lake is,
as it were
the matter of pure love

falling petals rhapsody

gorgeous spring/
cherry blossoms are peak/
falling petals/
flap in the howling wind/
pick at my tangled heart/
and/
gone with my unrequited love...

hate you

you lifted a muddy puppy in your arm/
i hate your sweet smile/
you have never hugged me that way/
you never knew my love as jealous.../
i really hate your warmness/

your eyes sparkle
whenever you deal with your dreams/
i hate your innocent eyes/
nobody engrosses your eyes forever/
hate you.../
i hate you.../
i really hate your pureness...

lily of the valley: pure love

love

i don't know/
i don't know/
i don't know.../
if this feeling is love/
love is not about happiness...
