"elegie" poems
Nechtěná pravda Se sama nabízí snad i těm, Jenž za bílými slovy víry a strachu Pomalu kradou A tam kde nepsaná pravidla Nás drží při životě Já jednou svedu zapomenout Na všechno z toho, Za co před tak dávnou chvílí Měli se mnozí zastydět A vynést světlo pochopení Pro všechny co chtějí Zavřít oči a uvidět.

148. (a snad poslední) elegie
Tichborne's Elegie, (written with his owne hand in the Tower before his execution) My prime of youth is but a frost of cares, My feast of joy is but a dish of paine, My Crop of corne is but a field of tares, And al my good is but vaine hope of gaine. The day is past, and yet I saw no sunne, And now I live, and now my life is done. My tale was heard, and yet it was not told, My fruite is falne, & yet my leaves are greene: My youth is spent, and yet I am not old, I saw the world, and yet I was not seene. My thred is cut, and yet it is not spunne, And now I live, and now my life is done. I sought my death, and found it in my wombe, I lookt for life, and saw it was a shade: I trod the earth, and knew it was my Tombe, And now I die, and now I was but made. My glasse is full, and now my glasse is runne, And now I live, and now my life is done.

Elegy by Tichborne (1586)
thou left me alone, lonely I'm stranded, dying slowly, leaving my heart to rot to its deepest roots "ah, this pathetic life of mine..." I wanted to meet you NOW while, if I do, I won't be able to see you ultimately, the eternal light won't shine on me eternity! I was lost! still I am lost, and I will always be lost...

Elegie No. 1
It's been years and I thought I was fine What wasn't for me came easy I didn't need a sign Leave in the night with no regard I was right not to take it an extra yard Numb and oblivious I've been Living with thought and no serious sins I look at my screen and see your delirious grins So far away and no intent to explain loose ends In the night I saw your face You walked by me with no change in pace In a dream I was haunted by hopeless elegie Waking up with empty hope and returning greif The look of your cresent lips and teeth Left me uneasy I just want the past to stay out my mind and behind me No regret and much remorse with a ****** up head, heartfelt hate, and memories

Cresent
a creeping chill throws me cold: the skies have turn SEPIA AND i completely utterly melt into each word birth'd -- this elegie betrays the poet; a confession unburdens the Spirit -- you are reading about the me of 'i' have always loved you |mia /i shall meet you again to-now within the theater of my Soul sure, sometimes i have concern for the world as it continues to devour my Feelings and sensibilities. when can i love you again? :: 03.24.2020 ::
