His solid flesh had never been away,
For each dawn found him in his usual place,
But every night his spirit loved to race
Through gulfs and worlds remote from common day.
He had seen Yaddith, yet retained his mind,
And come back safely from the Ghooric zone,
When one still night across curved space was thrown
That beckoning piping from the voids behind.

He waked that morning as an older man,
And nothing since has looked the same to him.
Objects around float nebulous and dim -
False, phantom trifles of some vaster plan.
His folk and friends are now an alien throng
To which he struggles vainly to belong.


- H.P. Lovecraft

Love Songs in age - By Philip Larkin, from his anthology
entitled 'The Whitsun Weddings' in 1964

She kept her songs, they took so little space,

The covers pleased her:

One bleached from lying in a sunny place,

One marked in circles by a vase of water,

One mended, when a tidy fit had seized her,

And coloured, by her daughter -

So they had waited, till in widowhood

She found them, looking for something else, and stood



Relearning how each frank submissive chord
Had ushered in

Word after sprawling hyphenated word,

And the unfailing sense of being young

Spread out like a spring-woken tree, wherein
That hidden freshness, sung,

That certainty of time laid up in store

As when she played them first. But, even more,



The glare of that much-mentioned brilliance, love,
Broke out, to show

Its bright incipience sailing above,

Still promising to solve, and satisfy,

And set unchangeably in order. So

To pile them back, to cry,

Was hard, without lamely admitting how

It had not done so then, and could not now.

Untitled

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if you wish to be close to me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

-e.e. cummings

in a station of the metro

the apparition of these faces in the crowd;
petals on a wet, black bough.

I aint got it here,
but check out "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. this
poem is also quoted in the begining of "Citizen Kane".
I even made a short movie about Coleridge for my english
class...

I think the story goes like Coleridge did a lot of opium and
fell asleep, and when he woke up he had this poem in his
head (not sure if he had dreamed about it) and started to
write it down. When he had made 300 lines someone called for
him, and he had to stop writing. Later when he got back all
his inspiration had disappeared.
But it's a really famous poem, and you should have read it
atleast once.
Coleridge wrote other famous poems such as "Crysalis" (I
think that's the title, not sure though)...

lines on ale

fill with mingled cream and amber,
i will drain that glass again.
such hilarious visions clamber
through the chamber of my brain -
quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
come to life and fade away;
what care I how time advances?
i am drinking ale today.

-edgar allen poe

i dunno. it's really not that great of a
poem...but my friend kalvin and i used to have a lot of fun
reciting it after we were somewhat 'inebriated'. =)

design

i found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
on a white heal-all, holding up a moth
like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--
assorted characters of death and blight
mixed ready to begin the morning right,
like the ingredients of a witches' broth--
a snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
and dead wings carried like a paper kite.

what had that flower to do with being white,
the wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
what brought the kindred spider to that height,
then steered the white moth thither in the night?
what but design of darkness to appall?--
if design govern in a thing so small.

Pena
Her litle head clinking
Like uh barrel of red velvet balls
Full past noise
Treats filled 'er eyes
Turning them yellow like enamel coated tacks
Soft like butter hard not t' pour
Out enjoying the sun while sitting on
Uh turned on waffle iron
Smoke billowing up from between her legs
Made me vomit beautifully
'n crush uh chandelier
Fall on my stomach 'n view her
From uh thousand happened facets
Liquid red salt ran over crystals
I later band-aided the area
Sighed
Oh well it was worth it
Pena pleased but sore from sitting
Choose t' stub 'er toe
'n view the white pulps horribly large
in their red pockets
"I'm tired of playing baby," she explained
'n out of uh blue felt box let escape
One yellow butterfly the same size
Its dropping were tiny green phosphorous wor
ms That moved in tuck 'n rolls that clacked
'n whispered in their confinement
Three little burnt scotch taped windows
Several yards away
Mouths open t' tongues that vibrated
'n lost saliva
Pena exclaimed, "That's the raspberries."

Melissa:

You are my heart,
You are my soul,
You give me life,
And make me whole.

I give to you,
All of my life,
To hope someday,
You'll be my wife.

I want to live,
Life by your side,
To see the love,
You have inside.

I want to dream,
Sweet dreams of you,
And ever know,
Our love is true.

I tell you now,
I know for sure,
My heart was ill,
You are the cure.

Melissa dear,
I love you so,
And with these words,
I let you know:

You are my heart,
You are my soul,
You give me life,
And make me whole.

Oh Jeez...
I wish you could see this.
Lights coming up...

I've never seen a painting that captures the beauty of the
Ocean,
at a moment like this...

I'm gonna make you rich, Bud Fox.
Yeah, rich enough, you can afford
a girl like Darrien...

This is your wakeup call, pal...
Go to work.

[anyone think this sounds familiar? ;)]
