Monalno Kim Poems

True love is not true
I don't believe in 'I love you'

Tell me something that is true
...

Water flowing down his black-haired head like the Greeks'
Streaming past his dark eyebrows and his deep eyes
Down his sharp nose and past his smooth cheeks
Dripping down his lush lips, past the mouth's rise
...

I heard a strange noise, very loud
Between the high shinning grass
Which looked like a very tall crowd
In a green ceremonial mass
...

When I came into town
Wearing a blue light gown
I walked past a poor old man
That had a long white beard and a black pan
...

Although you are strong and tall
Although you appear to know-it-all
Although you seem capable of many things
Although you believe you can fly withinvisible wings
...

I do not know what has befallen me
For my eyes seem blind to what others see
I find myself in a dark void, in an abyss
I cannot feel a loving touch or a passionate kiss
...

What's pizza without cheese?
What's hot dog without mayonnaise?
What's hamburger without meat?
What's candy if it's not sweet?
...

Why do I feel so alone in the world
Why can't I feel joy and harmony
Why do I feel as if chaos is unfurled
Why do I feel so alone in the world
...

If the chicken is Green
She'll lay an egg on the queen
If the chicken is Red
She'll lay and egg on your head
...

Her red eyes showed that she had cried
And her wet face showed how her tears had dried
Her weak body trembled in his arms
And he carried her quietly between old farms
...
