Lost is Found
Think! Colour reels night’s shrouds from morning sky.
Metamorphosis opens chrysalid
to imagOnation’s vibration hid
by darkness which itself at last must die.
Soul slumber tuning to the light may fly,
discards discords, hard heeled angst well rid -
unneeded now, unheeded not forbid.
Inklings fountain free and answer “why”,
discover, covers closed, pressed sheets laid by.
Lost is found, as reader’s mind may bid
goodbye to weary fears and tears amid
inspiration freed, - once held back by sigh.
An ‘I’ finds gift of second sight to spread
fair wings which stretch clear spirit, steer ahead...

Signs for Change
Subtly surfing through the whole
Inside, unseen, our chrysalid
Grows to maturity. Though hid,
Now metamorphosis its role
Shall wor[l]ds connect as inner soul
Finds wings to fly without the grid
Of Time's restrictions, nought forbid
Remains to suffocate, control.
Change is not just a casserole
Heated by chance encounters mid
A soup confused, un[l]inked, unbid.
New Year [b]rings changes as Life's goal
Gleams clear, though distant, signals sends
Errors corrects, and bridges mends.

No More Tears (feat. Na Na)
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
Here I am
I feel like a hurricane
but upside down
I move like in M.A.D.
to every sound
trembling before you
cause I'm going down ...
My last stand
is all that I'm hearing
will I ever find
an answer to what I have
on my mind
thousand yard stare
cause I'm going down ...
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
Aiming high
I turn from the light
and I am on my way
falling into the darkness
I can't stay
There's no escape
and I am going down
Final try
I'm back from the other side
and right on time
to once and for all claim
back what's mine
the future is bright
and I won't go down
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why

Butterfly
VERSE 1
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise
CHORUS 1
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
VERSE 2
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
CHORUS 2
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
BRIDGE
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't over flowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
CHORUS 3
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
CHORUS 4
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

Last Night
It was all dark:
not that i expected light at night,
the sound of a lingering silence,
echoes reverberating from without,
last night is gone!
When i could see no more,
than the darkness of evil.
When i could hear no more,
than the sounds of the devils laughter
last night is gone
Upon the rock, i watered my plant.
On dry pastures, i cast my seed.
Unto the swine, i gave out my pearl
and all in vain that i toiled.
for it was all dark last night.
In the darkness of night, i am captived
by the light of dawn, i am freed.
Yesterday i was lost, today i am found.
The night is gone, last night is gone.
In the darkness of the world,
humanity is captived.
By the light of Christ,
Man kind is free.
At the fall of man, we were lost
On the day of salvation, we were found
The fallen is restored, last night is gone!

Lost
(1/21/12)
I was lost in a world of my own
Traveling through the valleys of my mind
Where there was only space and no time.
A place where minds go to be free
And musicians playing in harmony.
Where voices of the best singers
Would gather around and put
Together the greatest sounds.
A place where you can be yourself
And not have to listen to anyone else.
A place where you can be lost in
the thoughts of your mind
And be there till the ends of your time
A place of imaginations and dreams
And of places seen and unseen.
Everyone no matter who they may be
Has been in this place of mystery.
We start off when we’re very young
A place that we go to have some fun.
Then as we get into our teenage years
We start to travel more and lose our fears.
We start to visualize what we would
Like to be, set our goals, and set
Our hearts and minds free.
Our hearts and spirit so clear and bright
Which turns our darkness into light.
All we see is the clear path ahead
Where so many before have tread.
So allow yourself to get lost in
The caverns of your mind
You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find.

Just A Bit Of Light Is Enough
A bit of light will be enough
To reach again for my lost delights
With a bit of light may I can revive to get back my broken wings
With bit of light I will try
May I can fly
With bit of light may I can once again touch far skies
A bit of light may gives me the courage to scream
May I can freely cry even smile or fall
In love
Just a bit of light will be enough
To gather one more time again to put together my broken spirit
May my soul from the dark escapes free and finds the light.

Spirit
Lost outside my soul
feeling I had nowhere to turn
or anywhere left to go
I closed my heart on forgiveness
only to find darkness
just watching my days burn
Walking away from the light
that tried to guide me
I found myself alone
full of sadness
with no love in sight
Then you touched me from within
and set my Spirit free
showed me I wasnt on my own
that no matter what I went through
there would always be you
to make me live again

Straight Ahead
Day by day, dream by dream.
I fight to find the way to go.
Every day opens a different door.
Every dream shadows the one before.
But slowly I can see
The way youve made for me.
Straight ahead, I can see your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, theres no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.
Carry on through the night,
When the road is hard to find.
Lying lights tell me to turn around.
Lying thoughts tell me Im lost not found.
But clearly I can see
Youre waiting there for me.
Straight ahead, I can see your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, theres no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead).
Straight ahead (straight ahead), I can see your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark (through the dark).
Straight ahead, theres no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.
Straight ahead....

String, Kite
i complete something today
dawn, there is dawn searching for
the door to morning
and it is closed
i look at an inspiration
it is not really good for me
but it completes me
this morning
the words that lay open and
never shut
to a conclusion
the one that makes me happier
to another day
there is something like a flesh
and it is pressed like a cloth between two iron sheets
there is heat
and it is not burned
there is a string in my hand
that holds a kite
i will cut it now and release
what all i had
to the air
it falls down
helpless to the ground
and no child ever
picks it up today
Monday, the second day of the year
the kite is free and it has no power to fly again in clear skies
separated from the string
nothing is noted to be significant
the way you see it

Psalm 6
My soul is greatly troubled
But you oh Lord-how long
I am weary with my groaning
And my night has lost its song
All night long my bed it swims
And my couch is bathed in tears
My grief has overwhelmed me
And I am surrounded by all my fears
The Lord has heard my weeping
As I lay in my bed at night
Oh Lord you know how weak I am
For you have surely beheld my plight
Oh Lord do not rebuke my soul
And in your sorrow chasten me
For you came and died upon the cross
You came to set me free
I will praise you in the morning Lord
I will praise you in the night
For you have heard the cry of your servant, Lord
And I run into your marvelous light

The Olive Tree
If life is less than one day’s passing sigh
within eternity, and if the year
too soon revolved, may never reappear,
if, helpless, all things here on earth soon die,
what do you dream about, caged soul, and why
this trouble take when darkness hovers near?
Although your dreams sing on to regions clear,
you seem a soul in pain whose wings can’t fly.
Seek there the Good above, beyond the sky,
there the rest which to each man lends cheer,
there is Love, there pleasure, thither steer,
there, my soul, is heaven found, on high.
There you shall realize that rare rapport
with Beauty which in this world I adore...

The Sky Is With Me
in gloomy evening, the jeoulsy of my love leads to my mistke.
your tears wet the world coldly
forgetting the exiting sweetness soffacating my breathe, i sing for the unknown love in a hymn of sobbing
when tears of an angel's calls the typhoon to hide my tears, the sky is open to melt all hurts of my heart by moonlight.saturated in the melody of darkenns, i weep with the remain of leave
the unforgettable love welcomes saying goodbye
even if the sky give hard time to my soul, my life is just an ordeal itself
but the sky is with me, always with me!
even if the holpelessness of light behind the cloud hides behind my back, the sky is with me, always with me!
no matter how i try to change, my destiny is the choice of god i believe in.but the sky is with me
listen, for your ears from my voice.the sky is with me in the sobbing of breaking my anger
the sky is with me
even if i lose all wishes of my life with stars losing ways, the sky is with me
i sell my soul to the god to be with you that i have lost but the sky is with me, always with me
even if i have lost you, my love never change so the sky is with me
i keep silence with sad birds stopping singing
even if i can't get it back, the sky is still with me
in gloomy night, i stay overnight alone.
when my soul that you threw sleeps with darkness, my desire wishing for freedom eternally send the remain of my love.
leaving the burden of my heart and the disfuction of my thoughts, the unknown frangrance of loneliness wraps me
i worry if the poem described on my paper looking for sad soul calls me at this night making same tears as mine.
the land of korea is not mind.it doesn't give me any space to stand
i've found me lose my wings through mom's tears
but the sky is with me.
even if the flappingofmy wings with scars lose all my wishes and dreams, the sky is with me.
no matter how many times i cry and resist, it will leave me, it will fly from me with birds flabbing thier wings
everything that i never wanted to lose leaves from me
it leaves from me with thorse birds never stopping flapping.
it leaves and flies no matter how strong i hug it
the sky is with me, always with me

Out of Insight
Though out of sight need not be out of mind,
know chill that hoars in Winter thaws in Spring,
tide and time's flow spin slow, to loss resigned,
soul s[t]ealer must withstand the seasons' ring.
Why whisper low, so seldom secrets last,
at night we dine on stealthy shadow drift,
ambrosia - a nonpareil repast -
lifts spirit as the choicest, sweetest gift.
Such sensuality some sonnets paint,
pen on spread virgin paper tender touch, caress,
soothes mind, excites heart, grips, yet sheds constraint
while words transporting openly confess
that tears, if tears there be, are those of joy
which stream from inspiration's source sans ploy.

Darkness Of...
Darkness is not the darkness of night
it is the darkness of mind and soul.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of discrimination between poor and rich.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of dishonesty.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of aggravate.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is darkness of corruption.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of indiscipline.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of animosity.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of inveterate.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness of perjury.
darkness is not the darkness of night,
it is the darkness that we all brought up inside us,
so, light the lamp of light inside you...

Phrase # 1
Remember when I show you the moon
It was to see how far the dream is
It was to realize how visible the future is
More than I can grab in my limited destiny,
You went to pursue the sky…
Have the earth echoing my pain to you
The wind cuddled my mind
I packed all my shuttered dream in the night
Should I burn it all in the sweet ray of the sun
Yet the cloud tell me where you are
Once you told me about the pearl
You found in the Pandora box
It was a rare experience, befall on us
Little did we know, the spell unleash
Unbind all the missing scenes
Regain back all the trophy of vanity
Which shouldn’t be found or posses
Had you say sorry for your former plan
Dismantled all the silver rope on yr heart
When the rain wash away the tears
It’s the beauty image in the broken mirror
Which I held to death
Reveal all the untamed path of every heart
The lost part in unity
Mincing the colour of every written scars
Framed it in a fine-grave of the soul
Wrapped all the longing feeling in the bare tree
The footstep mark leave an inch of hope
The shore sail it away to the sea
Neither one can trace it or come with the answer
Someday you’ll be back
With the sight of sorrow in your tired eyes
The pearl had cursed the spirit into stone
Craving for dewdropp to ease your wound
A step ahead, another story re-play
Guide you with saddest mental picture
Your sincere apology will turn to ashes
Captured in eternity the story of great despair
Drawing when you eagerly fly back to the moon
Had you forget the way I show you

Tears Reflection
Tears reflection
Moving sand, on them, I stand
Deserted In driest self esteem
Shadow of mine questioned me repeatedly
To whom my soul chained to
My soul, am i departed from you?
Silence abduct the sound
As if the flowing air ceased
Till the pain to be clearly heard
Loud in mind louder in heart
Whispering sharp, bleed me hard
On this finest sand, i still stand
When all energy now left broken
By the burning sun in front
So another step has frozen
Burned strength with aches pain
Illuminated rays, behind these eyes
Pigmented my vision for years
But as for now, fears deserted mind
Images seems blur, make pain so real
Dark as red rose to be lachrymose
Bleeding emotion wash out all sights
Dissolves my colorful thoughts
Be in the drops by my eyes pressure
Free fall touching my dry heels
Rainy tears soon wet my toes
And drained my sober continuously
Soaked me in the tears sea
Front of these eyes
All white, faded sight
No Images, left, up or right
The only one is below,
There's someone
The one that once was mine
Self reflection in another side
Dive into you, i will lost to
Drowning in you, I want back to
Stain my sight of past chromatic vision
Swimming with images back to mind
In a long trail of sleeping
Revived dream draw lines
Lead my soul find home
The lost has returned
Again...
Morning light wake me up
Soft on green grasses, I stand again
Eyes wide open with returned vision
Watching real after lost in illusion
Chaining soul and sanity
Back to me

Illumination 1889
Before: eyes wore sack cloth of black,
turned back from fair temptations' surge,
recoiled, pain wracked, from fate's attack,
saw splurge urge drowned by starcrossed scourge.
Hope unexpected then saw light,
delight which soared beyond all ken
of mice and men, displacing night
then opened door to joy again.
When transformation was complete,
from chrysalid slipped butterfly
antennae test, taste, haste to greet
bolt which bolts leaden could defy.
One moment lost, the next enthralled,
true metamorphosis 'tis called...
