(Del Mar, California, USA)
Whose figure there I think I know
White sleeves soften by snow
Ears tinted with scarlet red
Standing stout in solitude.
Closer I come
Fainter you become
For you are gone
And I am alone.
I remember the past
When your laugh melted
My soul and my body
Warmth forever lost.
I remember the angst
Fearful of your aversion
Fretful of your irritation
Imagining the wildest.
I remember the fate
To remain a fellow:
Intimate yet distant
Foreseen yet sorrowful.
Biography
Dongha Kim: I am currently in high school.
I immigrated from Korea to the United States about six years ago.
Though I lack writing experience, I sincerely enjoy reading both classical novels and poetries.
One interesting thing about me is my motto: the future is in the past.
