Korea, my love, my heart’s desire,
A vision of beauty, that sets my soul on fire.
Your skin, like porcelain, smooth and bright,
A radiant glow, that shines, like a beacon in the night.
From Africa’s shores, I’d walk, through desert and sea,
To catch a glimpse, of your loveliness, and bask in your glee.
No video calls, tonight, can satisfy my yearning,
I need to see your face, to feel my heart keep on burning.
Your eyes, like sapphires, shining bright and blue,
Reflect the beauty, that I long to behold, anew.
Your hair, like silk, flowing like a river’s stream,
Invites my fingers, to touch, and make my heart sing and scream.
Oh, Korea, my love, my dream, my heart’s delight,
I’ll travel far, to see your beauty, shining so bright.
No distance too far, no journey too long,
To behold your loveliness, and sing my sweet, sweet song.
So let me walk, through mountains and valleys wide,
To reach your shores, and gaze, into your lovely eyes.
For one glance, one smile, one moment, with you,
Is worth the journey, and all the miles, I’d travel anew.
