you can't protect your imagination
you can't protect your thought
you can't protect your breathing
you can't protect your love of them.

distance of love
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
hedgehogs can't stand the cold
they try to cuddle up to each other
but they can't
their thorns
***** each other with them
and wake up
closer and further apart........
they sleep through the night
with open eyes
worried and worried and worried
just looking at each other
they grow apart
But
they have a loving heart
closer and closer
they approach again
But
than the pain of the cold
the pain of thorns
the pain of love is greater
with the length of a thorny needle
they whisper love
Love's embrace is
with a head without thorns
Love's wounds
Love's wounds
beyond that
The temperature of love
is sending to eyes
to keep love alive.

Ode to Mother's Day
Yonah Jeong May 11
He experiences his mother's love, but
is breaking her life
and gets caught by the police or doctors
and ends up in jail or a mental hospital
But he soon becomes normal
and comes home
At home, he breaks his mother's
Food, Clothing, and Shelter
in one-sided conversations
with his roommates
in mutterings to himself
but he doesn't hurt anyone
alone his mother
and there is no one else
by his side
but going hospital his last
sometimes on the phone, he talks about
his longing for his mother
and his tears of repentance
But his condition still makes it impossible
for him to get an outside pass
In fact, he became this way
after working as a competent employee
like five stars
and refusing to compete with his colleagues
But no one knows this and no one cares to know
because only his condition matters
and if mom sing his anxiety
he might end up it like them
he makes him even more great.

rainy day in Fort Lee
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
Good morning, stars

It rains
The wind is blowing

The branches shaken
Autumn on the asphalt
You are rolling

The wires become swings
Anyone
You sent in the parking lot
Look at the gifts of the night

Your painful pains
I'm counting.

wind's everything
Yonah Jeong Sep 2024
wind's hill
wind's spunge
wind's pandora
wind's sea
wind's breathing
wind's hug
wind's reading
wind's pains
wind's winds

It is our Memorabilia.

our Love
in difficult times
springs up

Love is not a dictatorial force

When Two Go Together
There's No Peace There

Like Water and Oil

Love doesn't want to rule
Even if it lasts
"I Am Fine"
long after it's gone.

Four Seasons' Rain
Yonah Jeong Jun 17
5 green trees on the left
cross the road and
become a forest on the right

Dripping beads of water on the glass window
wet the palm-sized evergreen leaves
become invisible slits of farewell

A man with an umbrella
follows unknowingly from behind
a woman stumbling without an umbrella

A dead end appears before them

All that remains
a clear reel reflected in a muddy puddle
"Sky Wind Stars" and Annie's songs

Make the way to go.

Fragmented Thoughts
Yonah Jeong May 3
with love
do not make
shield or spear

weapons of love
that is
love for them.
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
It's snowing
light
wind is blowing

with rain
covering a blanket of fog

her beloved I am
sailing on the sea

my love she sways me like that
Soothing and pushing me away
Gives me a painful dawn

Seeds of the morning
Your tears are
making a day a day a day

from now until eternity
from eternity until now

The Sea When She Lies
I am swimming
that sea to the beach

late at night
Drinking in the lighthouse lights
and i breathe with it.

A Rocking Chair
Yonah Jeong May 16
A chair
where someone had sat
a while ago
A quiet and warm place
where no one was present
An empty chair
covered in dust,
Next to it
the sound of birds
leaving their footprints
The traces left behind
gather together
soothing the chair
and shaking it
So a history that is not lonely.

A releasing love
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
I am
why love began
but I don't want to know
how
how your love began
now,
I want to know
I want to hear the answer
but only echoes float by
Because I can't
The words of love
I made
I want to read them.

Red color
hair
wings
torso
legs
Tail
Even eyes
hot, hot
red colored phoenix
never dies
Myth of Rebirth
But its immortality is copied
Legend not fact
The heart
the soul
thought
All cold and cold
Can't die
and cannot live
Because you can't burn yourself
If the temperature of love is
because there is no
The Phoenix
may die
nor live
the legendary bird
Existing in human imagination
and then you like a bird
powerless Human Phoenix
Big Brother
Also you cannot die
even when trampled
and cannot live.

Hudson River
Yonah Jeong Mar 1
River has many things

clouds drift
mists away
trees escort
and schools of fish
cruise ships sail by
bridges over
a hundred years old
bicycles and cars
flying by with wheels
moss and grass
and the eyes of an African lion
and invisible turtles
sands move
winds
people on the riverbank
all this and more
They are all alone

connected but apart
they are not lonely
because they love each other.

Human Farm
Yonah Jeong May 14
We are not driving hounds
we are raising them
in the streets, hunting
humans
hounds, they are less powerful than
humans, but
they are stronger than the beasts
beasts run away
Now, in these streets
hounds are galloping
driving humans, hunting
humans.

a Rainbow

rainbow
True and
when i was very young
after a summer shower
crossed the clear sky
a little rainbow
after unfold this and that side
pulled down
put it in the neighbor
bird nest
rainbow seven colors
left a secret place
climbed down tree poles
shook the flowering tree trunks and leaves
and jumped over the fence
swam through the glasses
came to me,
bowed down and grat “hello”
two eyes,
heart, tiptoe and
wet my childhood.

a flower
listens from the voice
of cool stones
patience of the frozen time
with lavender honey of
anti-progressive
anti-change
anti-wave
flowers carve in the stone

flowers blooming both side of the road
we walk and the cries of the stones
on the road we walk
with moments of silence
stones carve in a single flower

Don't stop
Grow while carve

homecoming of dancer of
flowers in the stone

Listen to their play.......

About Humanist
Yonah Jeong May 7
Time-independent
always have a green heart
relaxation, a big dream
punished without punishing

Butterfly than flower
root than branch
peace than war
stars than sky
pearl shell than pearl

Interest of indifference
introverted but friendly
preferring unfamiliar one to familiar places

Not remembering
faults and transgressions (long)
Remembering
good deeds and merits long

And
Humanist reject deny abolish
all "-ism" like you
delivering love alone.

The Greatest Writer
Yonah Jeong Mar 5
I told my wife
“I'm proofreading like crazy.”
“That's not such a good thing to do...”
“Yeah, it's the communication with readers.”

Instead of proofreading too much
Without doing too little

Someone
between Beethoven and Mozart

To anyone
Truth and goodness and
beauty gifting
writers and Specifically poet

Isn't that right?

pink
rose shades
summer in the waste places
HARMONIZER
blooms where it is not needed
Friendship with cockscomb
The flowers don't last long
Don't be greedy,
does not possess perfect beauty
does not exude fragrance, but sprinkles it
reflect the skies
exotic
great blue bottle
ragged sailor
makes other flowers like it more
That's why i love you.

Faith is a will o' the wisp of unity
Faith is not a bridge, it is the removal of bridges
Faith is abiding in the object of faith.

Father is a security guard
Mother is a housekeeper
A couple who worked on a farm
They came to New York.
and rented a house for $1400, 000
and they were working
from 7:00 in the morning to 7:00 at night
A dual-income family
building basement
in a three-square-foot room
when the fire stopped burning
Helen, 4 years old
down on the ground
and 5-year-old Joe
buried his nose in a pile of clothes
suffocated to death
She locked her children in the room
with a LOCKBOX
and forced to work
in the big city of New York
a mother's tears
reject postmodernism.
