Funny times

Funny times

Playing hide and seek

You cooked rhymes

Without salt

Neither of us was at fault

For wasted banquets

 

Spent morrows

Breakfast on the grass

Buttered bread

Goes to head

And wastes energy in class

Learning how to cheat

 

I don’t judge

Merely spectator

Of your taunts

Unending

Invisible specter haunts

Breaking the journey

 

Now we know

Truth a dictator

Merely points

Surrender

No other options arise

Naked casts the lies

 

Fishing rod

An expedition

To North pole

Ice clad holes

Looking through frigid waters

Bears much decorum

 

We eat green

End harvests yellow

Worn out scythes

Cutting rough

Jagged edges the result

Of years of neglect

 

The lost sheen

Of Heart ne’er mellow

Closed with time

The crusts hard

It would take more than a bard

To liquefy rust

 

The songs shared

Lost inner ramblings

Of tepid heart

The ways cold

Fortune favours but the bold

Scared hares learn respect

 

 

Funny times

Your expectations

Coughing mirth

Mind roams Earth

We leave on journeys of sight

The other a wall

 

Angels fall

Their wings clipped neatly

Bundled prize

Winners tired

All the things that I admired

I barely recall

 

We knew not

Time spins arrogance

Huddled groups

Dissect frogs

Princes relic of the past

Fairytales don’t last

 

Titles wrought

Imagination a curse

Misspelled dreams

Broken screams

Crossing rivers between logs

Hush baby don’t fly

 

I lost them

Twice forgotten wings

Changelings

Morphing cast

Theatrical face aghast

He prays for my soul

 

Religion

Malice reservoir

Castration

Damnation

Everything against the Love

Head bent weep o Dove

 

You spell wrong

God takes not an A

Yet you goad

Lost cattle

Against the odds I battle

Heart lost in dark road

 

This testing

I know it was honed

Yet I fail

Yet I wail

It cost my faith yet I hail

Your endless glory

 

Reading of the poem: 

 

Voyage – Youn Sun Nah

Into Dust – Youn Sun Nah

Consider me gone – Youn Sun Nah
