Destined

It was probably
Just another afternoon sky
But every aspect of it
Reminded me of You
Smiling preciously
While nonchalantly stroking Your hair
With a blushing warmth
Adorning your eyes
And I realized one more time
You are the destined journey my smile takes
To find a home in my eyes everytime.

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?

목소리: Voice

그 하나의 목소리...

그대 영혼의 언어를 말해요

마음의 리듬을 가지고 있어요

그대 미소의 이유예요

누구의 목소리인가요?

그 하나의 목소리...

그대 눈을 빛나게 해요

삶의 모든 순간도 밝혀요

그대에게 새로운 희망 줘요

누구의 목소리인가요?

Meaningful English Translation:

That one voice...

That speaks the language of your soul

That has the rhythm of your heart

That is the reason behind your smile

Whose voice is that?

That one voice...

That brightens up your eyes

And every moment of your life

That gives you new hope

Whose voice is that?

----------------------------------------------------------------

A little back story and Gratitude:

Our eyes are the mirror of our soul. Similarly, I think, voice is its signature. That is probably why voices have a connect with souls just like eyes. While writing "The Voices", I realized there are different aspects of a voice that I wanted to portray. And thus, this piece was born.

I was not sure if I should attempt writing it in Korean. My love for the language made me write it. However, I was still unsure of posting it as it was rusty. Thanks to my teacher/guide, who immensely helped me in giving me the much needed confidence to post this piece. Yoon 선생님 has always been very supportive. There are not enough words to show my gratitude.

Thank you so much Yoon 선생님 for always helping me.

Decadent Warm Rich Dark Chocolate Brownies

I could fill in

pages after pages

Describing...

just your smiles

and laughs

but then

every time

I think of it

my heart melts

and all my thoughts

are left in a puddle

only to be

evaporated later

by the warmth of

your gaze

to an effervescent essence

Wrapped

around the fabric of eternity

Lighted

Sometimes it's good to be

In the middle of the happenings..

Where else would one get the fuel

To re-light the wick of a candle

That has the aroma

Of cherished moments

Moments that were

Infused with happiness

With a hope that they would

Diffuse smiles

Whenever (and wherever) ignited.

KrushnaChudara Hasa

Mana Sopanare unki maare mora

aaji eka khyudra prasna

swapna antaraale sthiti je khyurna

ki achi chihna barna

ki achchi akaashe indradhanu madhye

ki achchi puspa madhye

taara madhye luchi alpa unki base

mrudu manda hoi krushna chuda hase

sei krushnachuda hase surjya udbhasita

krushnachuda hase chandra pratyusita
chandrama kirane apurba abhaasa
tanmadhyare puni mana pakhi baasa
mana pakhi udi buli jai base
kahin kete dura bane
sehi ghora bane krushnachuda hase
antaraala bhaabi mane

antaraala gaatha gai se jaachi

rajata baarta kahi je jaaichi
nikhuna swapnare tathaapi se bhaase
ehi gaatha dekhi krushnachuda hase
kathasagarare kete je lahari
taaku ba sate jiba ke pahanri
jete apuraka katha sagara ras
sete apurba e krushnachudaara hasa
