Seoul
Oh, my Seoul,
From a distance,
Monochrome;
A single way, and
A thousand miles, and
At times this bridge
Seems a thousand miles
To me,
Though right next door,
This painfully familiar
DMZ.
Give me Yeosu,
Where the waves are gentle on the shore;
Or some Hanok Village,
Where I might momentarily forget
My every
Heavy, stark regret;
But no,
I can’t resist the song
Welling up within my Seoul;
And while I Can’t
(Necessarily) Stop Me,
Oh, sweet...

Voice
Around you,
My voice is…
Different.
Shaky;
Hesitant;
Uncertain;
Not because I think
You are too fragile.
But,
Because I know
You are wild,
And dangerous,
And worth
Much more
Than I can ever offer.

Thoughts
I’m a thundercloud on the hillside,
And she’s a calm and gentle lily;
I’m a dog-eared Reader’s Digest,
She’s a volume of timeless poetry;
I’m a fast food burger with a side of fries,
She’s a four-course meal with a glass of wine;
I think the world of her,
And that is fine.
But somehow…
She thinks the world of me;
And that must be divine.
And she’s a calm and gentle lily;
I’m a dog-eared Reader’s Digest,
She’s a volume of timeless poetry;
I’m a fast food burger with a side of fries,
She’s a four-course meal with a glass of wine;
I think the world of her,
And that is fine.
But somehow…
She thinks the world of me;
And that must be divine.

Alone
Mine is naught but an old soul,
Quietly begging to be known;
Wearing the casual front of a smile,
To mask the dread of being alone.
Quietly begging to be known;
Wearing the casual front of a smile,
To mask the dread of being alone.

October
I’ve been down, tonight
At river’s edge,
Where the leaves of trees
Are growing gold;
And I wonder, to myself,
If I’ve any pledge,
To ask of those sentries
The task of growing old.
At river’s edge,
Where the leaves of trees
Are growing gold;
And I wonder, to myself,
If I’ve any pledge,
To ask of those sentries

Whisky
A quick counter-clockwise flick
On the cap of the bottle of Maker’s;
Damn thing lands on the floor;
Suppose that’s bound to happen
When you’re already two drinks in,
Generous with the fingers…
Four?
But the afternoon has yet
To slink down into evening,
And I’ve not labored nearly enough yet
Over my incessant regrets;
I spin the cap back, and
Watch the ice bobbing on
An amber sea,
Two fingers deep;
The Titanic, and her charges,
Died in glorious, dark and brutal history,
...

Summer/Autumn
Summer slipped out
sometime after midnight;
Left the door
open wide…
I couldn’t convince her to stay
No matter how I tried.
Autumn arrived in elegance,
With her own
offerings of intimacy;
But my skin still tingles
from Summer’s bite,
And all the pleasures
she gave to me.

And all the pleasures

Novice
The air held
Our subtle gasps
And gentle sighs,
As we toyed with
Nervous lips
And tender thighs.
Do you remember,
Love,
When we were
But novice lovers?
Eager to
Pour our pleasures
Over one another?
Our subtle gasps
And gentle sighs,
As we toyed with
Nervous lips
And tender thighs.
Do you remember,
Love,
When we were
But novice lovers?
Eager to
Pour our pleasures
Over one another?

Birch
Leaves of Springtime green:
Youth growing respectably old;
Thus, crowned at Summer’s end
In hues of august gold.
Youth growing respectably old;
Thus, crowned at Summer’s end
In hues of august gold.
