Ngimchule Nampeung Poems

O cometh the spell o' vitality,
Who but Nature celebrates Nature best?
The orchid panicles blossom in happy hues,
The golden orioles chirp in symphonic abundance,
...

O fleeting love, like a wisp of smoke!
You drift away leaving me bereft of sensibilities;
Ever in the blues.
Love! The potion to give life to life,
...

Here we sleep,
Dreams unrealis'd, promises unfulfill'd;
Caring no more to the pains and desires of the world,
Indifferent to footfalls of the living,
...

Father, Mother!
What am I?
They would not tell.
Echoing silence fills the timbered space.
...
