Thought of Love (Contemporary poetry)

Written by Kang-Seok Cha, Nov 05 2024
Translated by SOOYOUNG KIM

Sky is full of dark clouds
A white and the whitest butterfly flies into the sky
The dark cloud hugs the white butterfly

The cloud starts to fall water drops finally
Soon, it will pour 
   
Even if the butterfly gets wet 
It's flying with all its strength deep and deep to the dark cloud
 like it seemingly gives all its body fluids 

  사랑론

   먹구름으로 가득한 하늘
   하얗디하얀 나비가 구름 속으로
   안기듯 날아가고 있다

   급기야, 먹구름에서는
   물방울이 떨어지기 시작했고
   굵어지고 세차질 것이다
  
   나비는 솜처럼 젖어가도
   체액까지 줄 듯 먹구름을 향해 
   안간힘으로 날아가고 있다
