Mother of the best son ever.
When dogged stress within me coils itself
And fearsome matters weigh upon my mind;
When without all is dreary, bleak and dark
And one and all seek respite from the cold
I hie myself to her place succor for.
There in a cozy room abides my love
Whose arms me welcome and whose lips me greet
With passionate ardor that I find so sweet.
Some solace seek in drink or church or drug;
Still others yearn for family's warm embrace.
In discontented times I may be found
In one spot only - that is Sunghee's place.
1996
Has anyone ever been kissed
As much as Sunghee's been kissed by me?
Has ever there been skin so soft,
As smoothly soft as skin can be?
Has ever the ocean run dry
Or the dry desert lacked for sand?
How many meters separate
This earth from heaven's yellow ball?
How many snowy flakes
On a winter's solstice fall?
No more than the times our lips
In yearning have sweetly met
And no more than the times my lips
Kisses on her cheeks I hope to set.1997
