little eyes watching you

eyelashes like shades . . .

easing the bright light

if you look carefully

you will see . . .

they flutter in the wind

so naturally :-)

The morns are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

 

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

The field a scarlet gown.

Lest I should be old-fashioned,

I'll put a trinket on.

 

By Emily Dickinson, 1862

This picture only needs a few lines of poem as a companion.

Here I am with you dear, no yesterday nor tomorrow

Hold on to my hand, close your eyes, see the glow

No stranger am I, or you, to this land

Got this birth, deputed, not for own lots to mend

 

See the green boughs stirred, by the gentle wind

Free the flowers dance, merrily they unwind

From interlocking leaves, by themselves, their own will

Never solitary you are here, why fear this lovely place

 

What is part of you, is part of everything around

See that part of whole, and the whole this Existence

The fire is always same, whatever makes it burn

Never does the light perish, nowhere does it go

Poems Of The Atoms — Armand Amar

 

youtu.be/si6rLeYU5BQ?si=o3z_wtnXWcnESZeV

  

O day, arise! The atoms are dancing.

The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy.

I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them.

All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they seem insane.

Every single atom, happy or miserable,

Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said.

Another Sunday, another poem. First the English Translation, then the German original. Have a wonderful day!

 

Mist Over the River

 

The river drifts so still, so mild,

and carries dreams where they’ve been filed.

Tell me, what will lie ahead?

Words the wind has softly shed.

 

A silver mist wraps all around,

it makes the distant small, profound.

And though no eye can clearly see,

the current whispers: “Go on, be free…”

 

Each wave speaks gently, calm and true:

Each morning grants a power new.

And in the haze, the heart still knows:

The river softly, quietly flows.

 

Here the Original:

 

Nebel über dem Fluss

 

Der Fluss zieht still und sanft dahin,

und trägt die Träume fort darin.

Sag mir, was wird vor uns liegen?

Worte, die im Wind verfliegen.

 

Ein Silbernebel hüllt uns ein,

er macht das Ferne sanft und klein.

Denn auch wenn keiner klar es sieht,

der Strom uns flüstert: "Geht weiter, zieht..."

 

Jede Welle sagt uns sacht:

Jeder Morgen schenkt neue Macht.

Und in dem Dunst das Herz noch weiß:

Der Fluss fließt still, der Fluss fließt leis.

When I spoke to you I suppose I spoke.

To you when I spoke I spoke I suppose.

I spoke I suppose when I spoke to you.

When Thomas brought the news that the house I was born in no longer exists

Neither the name, nor the park sloping to the river

Nothing

I had a dream of return

Multi-coloured

Joyous

I was able to fly

And the trees were even higher than in childhood

Because they had been growing during all the years since they had been cut down.

For Gerard - 7 mei 2009 - 7 mei 2026 - Always near

 

This is the lid of the box containing a kind of book, Poems by Sea.

I created this work during my 5th year at the Academy in Arendonk, Belgium.

I will show the book pages at a later time.

These are photos taken with the Agfa Isolette, subsequently exposed onto a zinc plate using digital transparency and photopolymer, and printed with the etching press.

We have lost even this twilight.

No one saw us this evening hand in hand

while the blue night dropped on the world.

 

I have seen from my window

the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.

 

Sometimes a piece of sun

burned like a coin in my hand.

 

I remembered you with my soul clenched

in that sadness of mine that you know.

 

Where were you then?

Who else was there?

Saying what?

Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly

when I am sad and feel you are far away?

 

The book fell that always closed at twilight

and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.

 

Always, always you recede through the evenings

toward the twilight erasing statues.

each man finally trapped and broken

each grave ready

each hawk killed

and love and luck too

 

the poems have ended

the throat is dry

 

I suppose there's no funeral for this

and no tears and no reason

pain's the master

pain is silent

the throats of my poems are dry.

Suddenly the smell of mimosas

like a breathing torch

or like an immemorial wave

that kisses the expectant nudity of the beach.

 

It's just the door

that opens, but sets in motion

an air where it curdles

all the sweetness of this precarious autumn.

i know more than i think i know,

and i know less than i want to know . and it continues slowly.

 

i try to keep up

no big glittery icons or invitations , please !

Et je m'en vais

Au vent mauvais

Qui m'emporte

Deçà, delà,

Pareil à la

Feuille morte.

 

Paul Verlaine (Chanson d'automne)

"Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky."

- Author Unknown

 

Some trees are more interesting without their leaves.

When I pronounce the word Future,

the first syllable already belongs to the past.

 

When I pronounce the word Silence,

I destroy it.”

............................................. “Midway”

  

I don’t know all the bright and shinning paths to heaven,

 

But I do know that midway along the way we choose

between shadow...and light.

 

I don’t know if a day shall be marked... "end of days"

 

But I do know that if it were so, it would fall midway

between counted yesterdays and uncounted tomorrows.

 

I don’t know if any breath bent to word can truly be true

 

But I do know the moments most pure are laid midway

between a breath drawn ...and a sigh released.

 

I don’t know if one should whisper aloud just how passionate the kiss

 

But I do know that given the chance I would linger midway

between your longest …and your sweetest.

  

I don’t know how far exactly from "here"... to "there",

 

But I do know that "midway" is charted somewhere-

between the setting of sails and the lifting of anchors.

 

...Sigh,

 

I won't pretend... I don’t know all the bright and shinning paths to heaven.

But I do know that when I follow you -

 

..."heaven" is found on a wing and a prayer, midway

-between a divided cloud, and a last sacred light of day.

 

...

To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -

True Poems flee.

~Emily Dickinson

Quote by J M Barrie

“I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;

Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots.

All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat:

She sits and sits and sits and sits - and that what makes a Gumbie Cat!”

A Poem for William Basinski:

 

William Basinski has probably never worn flip flops

William Basinski can make fireflies dance with abandon

William Basinski only goes shopping in the middle of the night

 

William Basinski

William Basinski

William Basinski

 

I don’t need a body anymore.

I only need songs.

 

William Basinski sings lullabies to piranhas and turns them into goldfish

William Basinski eats words for breakfast

William Basinski doesn’t think about his appendix very often.

The street lights were all on when I biked home because the

City finally paid its electric bill.

 

William Basinski was a distinguished giraffe in his former life.

William Basinski has extra bones that help him stand so straight.

William Basinski is from another galaxy but still keeps his Southern accent

 

William Basinski

William Basinski

William Basinski

 

His heart is too big for his chest.

He makes music so we can finally rest.

 

William Basinski can hear peaches sigh.

William Basinski has a scarf to keep the world warm

William Basinski is part of our collective consciousness

 

William Basinski

He gave me a hug once and I liked it.

This is the title page of Bret Harte's 1871 book, "Poems"

Original and period cafes and bars like this are in my mind so much more welcoming than the bright, colourful modern day plastic adorned poem. To show the detail I decided monotone was the better choice of presentation.

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,

We fell them down and turn them into paper,

That we may record our emptiness.

~Kahlil Gibran

Poem seen through the window of Earnest Sewn in NYC

hi dear girl and boys,how's everything?

l watched many movies these days and l feel much better now.how about u recently?

 

after my movie time,l want to read one elegant poem for you this night.

and also need to listen ♫ Our Hell of Emily Haines.

-

 

A long - long Sleep - A famous - Sleep -

That makes no show for Morn -

By Stretch of Limb - or stir of Lid -

An independent One -

 

Was ever idleness like This ?

Upon a Bank of Stone

To bask the Centuries away -

Nor once look up - for Noon ?

 

一個漫長 - 漫長的睡眠 - 一個有名的 - 睡眠 -

毫無晨起的跡象 -

伸展四肢 - 或眨一下眼皮-

一個獨立的睡眠 -

 

可曾有這樣賴床的嗎?

躺在堆疊的石頭上

曬上數世紀的太陽 -

甚至看都不看正午一眼?

 

*The Poems of Emily Dickinson #654*

CHANGING LEAVES

 

As I shuffle down the path leading through the park,

As the days grow shorter now and soon it will be dark.

I realize that life is like the seasons we live through,

Life is like the changing seasons always changing too.

Only then we realize that life has changed so fast,

Only then we realize that nothing ever last.

Life goes through the seasons as the years accumulate,

Many times we long for summer when it is too late.

 

~ excerpts from the poem of James A. Kisner ~
