Writing poem is most attractive behavior to me. The reason is purification of my soul and pursuing essential thing. So poetic language remains a lot of imageries, metaphors and symbols.

Still, I have an obligation that I have to remain my writing to my descendants.

This is the first reason to write these poems, because I am a stranger who doesn't know well dominant language, English. And as a stranger, I have a desire to send what my emotions, struggles and experiences are as a first generation.

Secondly, I want to send my devotional emotions from in my being and nature. So my poems express some spiritual struggles and devotions as a hidden form like metaphor, symbol and story.

Thirdly, my style of poem is narrative or story. This makes me uncomfortable, because I have tried to express with some hidden form of language from my nature and spiritual sight than phenomenon. So I have a prayer to recognize what the universal language which would be human's nature to send inner voices is.

Thanks to all my readers!
