Another revision of my early poems. Do not find any continuity of thought in the poem, each verse is independent of the rest.



broken quatrains



1.)



i shall not be

a dust of saint

i shall not need

Zion's glory

on papyrus my self

to paint

i shall be one

godly

poetry



2.)



strange voyage

into the unknown

circles

of imagination

ensures a man

a crown

a throne

and a kingdom

of illusion



3.)



i'll lay

on the meads

of poetry

on the hebeus hill

by the lea

there i'll search

the skies' symmetry

there i'll cross

the cerulean sea



4.)



O Bathala!

can't you not hear

the song of your child

on this hill

each note is piercing

like a speak

into the heart

that is unstill



5.)



you whose beauty

with pride display

the finest flow'r

fades in the air

you're naught

when your time

steals away

you're naught

but mere dust

in the air



6.)



i have searched

the sky

and the sea

but haplessly i failed

i died

no loves true

when i ceased to be

and worst

heaven

my self denied
