OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII (Entire)

Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest Life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.

Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him: thou art just.

Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.

Our little systems have their day;

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

You too Brutus

A trusted friend’s betrayal
Is harsher than the wound
Caused by my enemy’s stab.
.no one escapes betrayal.

At the wake of bankruptcy…

In case you went bankrupt,
Don't seek hospitality
As a poor relation
In the house of wife's kin.
Humiliation is
Harsher than bankruptcy.

Cowards, more a threat

To poison is crueler than to stab.
To betray is harsher than to assault.
To exploit is eviler than to snatch.
To cuckold is sinner than to elope.
The cowards are more a threat.

He Is Happy

as he contemplates
on the miseries of
his friends
piece by piece
weighing
his own
finding out
theirs heavier
and harsher

he laughs
and then writes
piece by piece
what misery is

what happiness
really means

Poem #457

The heartbreaker
with a broken heart
has been taught a lesson in irony.
Unrequited love
(although my favourite
combination of words
in the English language)
is a lesson harsher than death.
That's why so many lovers
end their lives
in the peak of their prime.
Love is death
and death leads to deepend
love.

Bad

Do not wish for something bad
Because some other bad thing will come upon you
Even worse

Do not say something bad
Because some other bad thing will be pointed to you
Even harsher

Do not plan something bad
Because some other bad thing will made for you
Even crueler

Do not think something bad
Because some other bad thing will haunt you
Even forever

The Coming Of War: Actaeon

An image of Lethe,
and the fields
Full of faint light
but golden,
Gray cliffs,
and beneath them

A sea
Harsher than granite,
unstill, never ceasing;
High forms
with the movement of gods,
Perilous aspect;
And one said:
'This is Actaeon.'
Actaeon of golden greaves!
Over fair meadows,
Over the cool face of that field,
Unstill, ever moving
Hosts of an ancient people,
