Devoid

Feelings have
A language of their own.

Let it be constricted


Just to make sure 
That the words in this language
Are not being too extravagant.

What if they are clothed
In a translucent veil?

What if they spell out everything
Without realizing
That the place they are in
Is not in the middle of nowhere
Or in the landscape of the world
That lies within the realms of my heart

But is a podium
In the bare world
Of monochromes
With hints of rainbows.

What if they mistake
Those tiny splashes of rainbows
To be the ethereal paintings in my heart.


Let it be constricted.


And thus the world becomes
Devoid of another expression.

Sculpted in Heart

In the depths of the alluring night
The silvery moonbeams 
Dazzled upon the pink petals
With a dreamy delight

The spring fervor spelled of thoughts
Thoughts that have You in every essence 
The air spoke the language of adoration
And the stars witnessed
The brilliance of your presence

With your enthralling smile like divine art
And your love sculpted in my heart
Forever and more is just a start

Kiss of Adore

As the evening glided
With a soothing pace
The memories whispered
Of tales twined in pastel green lace

Chronicles of the breathing sky
And memoirs of the balmy breeze
Narrated the stories of the one
Who lives across the seas

It reminded me of your dreamy smile
And the sweet kiss of adore
And of glorious moments that we treasure

Perfect Paradise

A place of bliss
Where hopes and wishes fly
An abode of dreams
Across the purple sky

It feels like a conundrum
Like the depths of your gaze
The sweet aroma of dusk deepens
And the camellia merrily sways

The radiance in your smile
Glistens with absolute grace
In every notion of universe
There is perfect paradise in your embrace

Eternal

The yellow sunflowers
In the sprawling fields
Glanced at the glowing horizon
As the sun set beyond the goldfields

The moments of the farewell
They gladly embraced
For they know they have avowed
For their destinies to be interlaced

There might be distances
Either spatial or temporal
But this "us" is forever and eternal

Softer Smiles

The afternoon sang
In a twinkling voice
Of dazzling daisies
And sea foam
As they glisten and rejoice

It told tales of a velvety breeze
That danced across the waves
Of the turquoise seas

It told me of your smiles
That was softer than the plushies
I listened to no end
And my heart was at ease

Chocolate Tone

The sweetness in that tone
Is fascinating
Like the white overhead sun
Inching along the silhouette of the sky

It had the aroma of exuberance
And just enough splendor
To touch the soul
And radiate a smile

You would not know
How that chocolate like tone
Can sparkle a zillion emotions.

Would You?

May these feelings persist and grow
In the dimensions 
We do not even know?

May these emotions blossom and flourish
Till the eternity 
That we have in our wish?

If I say I want the thoughts to pursue
Would you concur
Even if a renewed world may ensue?

To peach toned sunrises and calming waters
Would you walk with me
Through springs, autumns, and winters?

Of a Rose

The blue morning air
Smiled with a calming flair
Witnessed the dawn arise
Blushed as she breathed the
Fragrance in the skies

There was a sweetness there
That was quite rare

The ray of sun looked at her eyes
And he replied with a smile

For you sweetheart I chose
The sweet scent of a rose

장미의 향기: The Scent of Rose

그대 선물로 무엇을 줄까요?
생각하면서 궁금했어요
빛나는 햇빛
아니면 깊은 바다를 줄까요 ?

깊은 바다보다 깊어요
그대 깊은 눈빛
빛나는 햇빛보다 밝아요
그대 찬란한 미소..그게 별빛

생각하다가 깨달았다..
그대 생각은 장미 향기 난다
그래서 그대에게
장미의 향기를 선물하기로 했다

Meaningful English Translation:

What shall I give you as a gift?
I wondered (or asked myself)
While thinking about it.
Shall I gift you the shining sunrays
Or the deep ocean?

Your eyes are deeper
Than the deepest oceans
Your splendid smile
Is brighter than the shining rays
it's (your smile) the starlight.

While thinking, I realized that..
Your thoughts (while I think of you)
Has the smell of roses
So, I decided to give you
The scent of rose as a gift.

A little back story:

Gifts convey a lot without uttering a single word. For me, a gift indicates a representation of a memory that is invoked. Something reminds you of someone. That is the reason we forward pictures or videos or a link. It tells the receiver that this is what reminds me of you. It may be a book or some personalized gift that you invested your time and effort to prepare just for the receiver. But it is not as easy as it may seem...well sometimes. The sender wants to give something that represents the receiver in some way and also has the essence of the feelings and emotions embedded into it. How does one decide?
