Had you on your lips,
Wild honey
The choicest of wine
Your aroma intoxicating
This haze here would clear
Like a rare gem,
You seem the only one for me.

Ha!

The sight of you
Lights me up like Circle Dubai at night
Your presence all-encompassing
Heady and strong

Imja,
Like a lost soul
Away from home
And displaced in the desert,
The scorching sun, my patched throat
I'm starved of you
Like a mirage,
You're a cool water
Refreshing in sight.



Imja is the Albanian word for 'mine'. And an intimate and respected way of addressing a lover in ancient Korea(Goryeo), it simply means You.
