Ghazal

Bright Light

by Raymond Kim

With the holy one, the world will shine bright
with the chosen one, the unity will shine bright.

When the sky shines with the holy light,
the small world in his eyes will shine bright.

When the blue waters sprinkle with delight,
the round sphere of blue will shine bright.

When the fertile ground is purified with his might,
the earth of the Earth will shine bright.

But this is only the beginning of the night,
who knows when the world will shine bright.

Ode: The Lonely Guitarra

The Lonely Guitarra
by Raymond Kim

Six lines of stream flowing out and out
onto the '8' shaped land, and onto the wide blue strand
Once the land is troubled with a stroke, the body lets out a shout
The harmonious sound disappears into the holy land

The lonely guitar cries with a sorrowful agony
As the stream of lines flow out into freedom of joy
The body of land echoes; only,
for the remembrance of the sorrow like the deaths of the Troy

The abandoned guitar cries, cries, and cries,
letting out its melancholy out into the skies

Balloon
By Raymond Kim


Fly sky high with a good-bye
Up to the crystal blue sky
With a heart full of hope and anticipation.
As oxygen run out, the floating bubble
of hope pops leaving the fragments
down to earth like a falling leaf

Fly sky high with a good-bye
out to outer space and
deeper into the galaxy
Fly sky high with a good-bye

Elec Guitar
By Raymond Kim

I wait as quietly as I can calm, smooth
Waiting for someone to unleash myself
Wait, I see someone, he picks me up high,
out into freedom and unleashes my sound
I roar out as if I was inside a,
blockade for hundreds and thousands of years
My six organs make a sweet harmony
Beating with the pick and the melodious
sounds, I feel relieved inside my partner's
harmonious and melodious soul
