Patricia's Poems

If you wake one morning early
When the frost is on the ground
And you hear a sound of crakling
Or see diamonds all around
You may be watching Ice Maidens
As over the snow they bound;
Then, look, and listing carefully
For they make so little sound.
If a brightly shining rainbow
Seems to move across your glance,
It could be a flash of tiny wings
Soft shimmering in a dance;
If you're allowed to see them
Its not just "happenstance"
Think carefully, and make a wish.
It could come true perchance!

Reicarnational Paradox

>© 1987 Patricia Lamont

How well do I know you? That I cannot say, I only know I knew you long before today,

I don't know when I knew you, I only know I did... But where and when - how long ago is very neatly hid.

How long shall I know you? I cannot say for sure, I knew you then - I know you now and I shall know you more!

When you are young and I am old, or the other way about - our paths and fates will inter-wind all around - and in and out.

The upside-down and downside-up of lives are most amusing, we cannot know, when who was who, which I find most confusing.

We really don't know who is whom, or where who was before - but only whom we are now is what we know for sure.

And yet - I know I've known you and that is why I say, I knew you then - I'll know you when... as I know you today.

As One Poem

©1997 Sook Ryeo Kang

a very special poet

Mid – 40’ –
The Decade of No Temptation.
Fighting with the black, difficult days
woman vomits the chaotic words from her heart.
She begins to write, writing wet with teardrops.

in my grieving heart
my pain stays
even though your dying leaves me free
I don’t appreciated
my passion has not cooled
I cannot calm my missing of you
the long night is white

If the sun rises twice a day
can that be two days?

I write, the time goes faster,
so I can go to you more quickly.
I want to fly to you as one poem.

Note: In Korea a - white night - signifies a sleepless night
