What Clouds Say

Sometimes it feels...

As if the clouds have a lot to say...

As if they are trying to transmit

unsent messages...

As if they are relaying

unspoken words...

As if they are conveying

unavowed feelings...

And hinting on the existence of bonds

that are beyond boundaries

In words of their own

written across the glorious sky.

Smile

I never knew

I have a

gleam in my eyes

when I smile

Until...

someone told me so.

I would probably have

just brushed it off

but I closed my eyes

And thought

for a while.

I sensed

an identical gleam

in someone's eyes too.

And I realized

who it was

who reflected

in my every smile.

Cosmos Rays

Once upon a moon, I wandered

Deep in the tall grey forest

It was never a journey

I wished to take

Yet I never wondered

Why I was there

It was calm everywhere

Enough of it to hear

The rustle of the leaves

Yet I never listened

My thoughts,

if there were any,

Hovered around

In a brownian motion

As they meandered in the

Flickering light of the glow worms

Then on a morning like any other

You shined on me, like the

First rays from the brilliant sun

From far across the mountains

With your smile

Sweeter than ambrosia

And your snuggling grasp

Softer than the breeze

You showed me the path

I had long forgotten

And as we walked through

The field of the Cosmos flowers

I could feel my heart beat again

To the melody of your breath

Enough?

Will words ever be enough!?

To express everything

That the starry night

The velvety wind, and

Your presence evoke!

Will anything be ever enough!

Hopes

It's you

And your alluring smile

That made it what it was

That moment

And every other moment

Every day

Every second

Meaning of it

I still wonder about

After writing a few verses

Feelings still sprout

"Why do so many lines you carve?"

They ask

But the world hasn't seen

your smile the way I have

The universes may change

And the worlds within it may too

But that glimmering smile

Is beyond eternal

Brightness of a zillion lumens

And of hopes anew

Home

The day weighed down

Like a rain cloud

I knew not where to start

And where to wind up

I knew not what to do

And what to think either.

Then there you were

With a serious look

Adorning your face

Even then there were hints

Of nonchalance in your demeanor

And an adorable look

In your warm eyes

Unperturbed by the ways of the world

Yet with a wisdom rare seen.

Just a look was enough

To calm things down

And hark me back

To where I belong

I could see light again

And breath a sigh of relief

I could rest a while

Until I regain to take things on

In every sense, you truly are my home.

Not a Rainbow

This can't be a rainbow

For a rainbow has a beginning

And it has an end too

It comes magically

Eventually it goes too

But This

Defines so much more

That a rainbow

Has ever drew.

This can't be a rainbow

For a rainbow has colors

That flow

Just the few till crest though

It is beautiful with zest

Stays for moments at best

But This

Has an enigmatic hue

That a rainbow could ever sew.

Beyond the span of this

And the countless other universes

Beyond the realm of colors

And multitude expanses

This spells so much more

Than a rainbow can ever store.

매력: Charm

그대 웃음소리는

바다의 음악을

더 선율적으로 만들어요

눈을 깜박이면

반짝이는 별이

더 밝게 반짝에요

그대 모든 매력이

봄의 향기로

세상을 물들어요

어느 마술인가요

아니면 그냥

그대 매력인가요?

________________________________

Meaningful English Translation:

The sound of your laughter

Makes the music of the ocean

Even more melodious

When You blink Your eyes,

The twinkle of the stars

Become brighter

Your every charm

Colors the world with

The fragrance of Spring

Is it some sort of magic

Or is it just

Your Charm?

Rays And Viola

In the sky

Fluffs of cloud

Covered the day

In a gloomy shroud

The heavy air

In tufts of missing flair

Lazed in the shade

As the leaves swayed

With bated breath

The viola kept waiting

Eagerly for the rays

Her heart beating

Moments came and passed

The gray was still cast

The viola wondered

"How long is long enough?"

She pondered

Finally through a chink

The rays darted in a wink

"I kept waiting too

Just to get a glimpse of you,"

The sun thought

In a murmuring whisper

As she blushed and smiled

When he kissed her

Awhile long was the wait

But when they met

All was perfect and great

We will wait once more

With cherished smiles

And our memories of adore
