One empty promise made An error within me I built a false facade Now credibility crumbles The selfish century His selfie statue Naturally erected Gossip made the fountain split Words and stones have toppled it Along the margins No one hears the starling sing Her babies are gone and starving The riverbanks are poisoned The fat cats are all laughing They have no need for starlings They only feast on men

When the feeling Fills to the brim The ripple, overflow, spills and pours out Around me Onto you I don't understand them I am over it. These are my insides Will you take them?

The soul cannot be crushed Even and odd With all the weight of the world STILL ALIVE with all the pressure of the past STILL HERE Elements, isolated, commoditized , extinguished. STIll expressive Chained, bottled, misunderstood, STILL WILD angry, sad, lost and lonely STILL LAUGHING medicine, music, sweetness, poison... The Sol will find a way To fire To rise To water To cover To bring to life Earth love

the sould cannot be crushed
What words would I use, If these were my last? Uh, like, nothing? What kind of question is that! Silence would seam to suit the space When light and life depart To dress the heart that has been sparked It's silent at the finish line! So spill your guts to worthy targets Or zip the trap and listen Empty words are often loaded Worlds are fool of garbage. Silence screens and measures taste To separate the cherry My tongue takes time to cut it out My tongue is sword of scary Words drift me danger near Silence now is all I hear.

silence
Weird is the heart Of this wired hour! I AM EMPOWERED in spired towers On walls of blooming morning flowers As darkness cowers; lord the land! You tenant man, this fruit is yours, devour.

Subtle beauty Is hardly scene Hidden within Eyes that see. Eyes that know What he means What he meant Not what it seams Before the flower Turns to seed Subtle beauty Is rarely scene. While the bridge Turns to leaves He walks away But doesn't leave He turns away So doesn't see The subtle beauty That she dreams.

sudtle beauty
The fairies break there dances And leave the printed lawn, And up from India glances The silver sail of dawn The candles burn their sockets The blinds let through the day, The young man feels his pockets And wanders what's to pay *A.Houseman

A. Houseman (1859 - 1936) from the collection of last poems
You waited for a lifetime Like an old pine That weights and watches Just to see your planter My little sunshine You bear sadness in your seedling eyes And your voice is rasped and withered Is this the debt I gave you? Or have my deeds all been forgiven? I knew nothing then; only love I know nothing still; only silence No words to tell you now No need to sweeten your sad seed eyes They are the sweetest ever My dear, my love my sunshine Forgive me for my lack of presence I'll see you in a lifetime

I have bid farewell, To my precious pearl, Now my oceans lonesome.

When you have been deprived of sunlight, For two weeks or more The tinniest bit Makes a day If you were a tourist, You would think It's a holiday If you were a *** You would think It's a Saturday The light pulls us from our selves From our dreams From our room At least for an afternoon It's all Ok Without light The tinniest bit Makes a day
