Flower's tears

a frozen tear falls soundlessly 
into the tranquil surface of the water
the reflection of your pale skin
sways lightly in the silvery light

blood stains my hand with its eternity
time floods the night with its tears
while I, who am lost in your eyes
can't find my way out of this tangled maze

our unexplainable bond since young
I try to love you, and kill you again
repeatedly, how many times has this been?
Your smile wavers into the sea of tears

I remember your smiling face
as you breathe in the fragrance of a rose
with innocence of a child which
is enough to shame my sinful soul

the day makes me wonder about its truth
--even though the sun shines,
the winter of my heart never stops
that overflowingly bleak blizzard

that bond seems to still exist
because, my heart which is gray
has been tinted blue by the scene
the scene of your lifeless lips...

feeling tired, my eyes flutter close
as I lay your frail corpse onto the cold dirt
I picture your lovely face amongst the bed of roses
as for the last time, I lay you down to sleep...
