Jean Eugene Guan Poems

I'm just a man,
Wearing a mask.
Behind this smiles,
Behind the laughter,
...

I dreamt of being with you.
Those sleepless nights drew by
The thoughts of your smile, your face,
How I want to touch your lips,
...

I was losing my breath,
My heart beating out of frame.
I did not know what is happening.
Another called your name.
...

The wispy wind blows
Out into the barren, deserted plain.
The tree that's old with sorrow,
Stands out and stretched disdain.
...

Dark and abandoned,
My mistletoe is empty under.
I'm alone and misty,
My heart is cold, as snow falls
...

Sparkling starlight
Wide eyed wonder
Hopes so high
Love each other
...

Who is this little child in view?
Where once cheerful colors, now metallic hue
Once a heart of flesh, now a heart of stone
And sad, tired eyes looking all forlorn
...

I cry for the fallen
Children of perdition
A nation in oppression
A people inconsolable
...

What? What am I doing here?
Seems like just yesterday, when it feels like home
Why? Why do I feel insincere?
When I look into your eyes, I realize all the emptiness inside of me
...

Throughout the night your face
Is the last thought of my mind
Whenever. Whatever. Whoever.
You are the only one I can remember.
...
