Terror Attack, PARIS, NOVEMBER 13th 2015 , by Irish Poet Róisín Kelly
Paris, 13 November 2015
In the end, it’s like going to bed as usual
except we lie down side by side in the street
and the night sky is our ceiling, and blood
drifts away from us between cobblestones
like rose petals torn up and scattered.
I don’t mind that the last thing I’ll see
is a café window’s red-and-blue OPEN sign,
and a neon coffee cup with three white lines
that symbolise rising steam.
Or the lights in your eyes going out-
as if someone turned off the bedside lamp
in your mind-except your eyes are still opening
and opening, and I am frightened.
What were the last things they saw, those eyes?
A cathedral’s rose window, or a view
from a tower: grey buildings like soft birds
nestling to the horizon....

SIMPLICITY, To Be Accepted As You Are, Jorge Luis Borges
Просмотров 574День назад
"Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges exerted a strong influence on the direction of literary fiction through his genre-bending metafictions, essays, and poetry. Borges was a founder, and principal practitioner, of postmodernist literature, a movement in which literature distances itself from life situations in favor of reflection on the creative process and critical self-examination. Widely read...
FALLING STARS, A Love Poem For The Cosmos,
Просмотров 243День назад
Falling Stars Do you remember still the falling stars that like swift horses through the heavens raced and suddenly leaped across the hurdles of our wishes-do you recall? And we did make so many! For there were countless numbers of stars: each time we looked above we were astounded by the swiftness of their daring play, while in our hearts we felt safe and secure watching these brilliant bodies...
The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd, BY SIR WALTER RALEIGH, English Renaissance (1600) Poem

The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd BY SIR WALTER RALEIGH If all the world and love were young, And truth in every Shepherd’s tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move, To live with thee, and be thy love. Time drives the flocks from field to fold, When Rivers rage and Rocks grow cold, And Philomel becometh dumb, The rest complains of cares to come. The flowers do fade, and wanton fields, To wa...
ANTI WAR POEM, There Will Come Soft Rains, Sara Teasdale with Andrei Tarkovsky cinematic images
Просмотров 84914 дней назад
There Will Come Soft Rains Sara Teasdale 1884 -1933 (War Time) There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white, Robins will wear their feathery fire Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when i...
INSOMNIA , "Night Madness Poem" by Sandra Cisneros, from Loose Woman
Просмотров 28514 дней назад
"Night Madness Poem" There's a poem in my head like too many cups of coffee. A pea under twenty eiderdowns. A sadness in my heart like stone. A telephone. And always my night madness that outs like bats across this Texas sky. I'm the crazy lady they warned you about. The she of rumor talked about- and worse, who talks. It's no secret. I'm here. Under a circle of light. The light always on, resi...
BATH by Amy Lowell, A moment of peace - Stay present
Просмотров 37221 день назад
The day is fresh-washed and fair, and there is a smell of tulips and narcissus in the air. The sunshine pours in at the bath-room window and bores through the water in the bath-tub in lathes and planes of greenish-white. It cleaves the water into flaws like a jewel, and cracks it to bright light. Little spots of sunshine lie on the surface of the water and dance, dance, and their reflections wo...
BEFORE YOU CAME, A love Poem , Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Просмотров 33728 дней назад
Before you came, things were as they should be: the sky was the dead-end of sight, the road was just a road, wine merely wine. Now everything is like my heart, a color at the edge of blood: the grey of your absence, the color of poison, of thorns, the gold when we meet, the season ablaze, the yellow of autumn, the red of flowers, of flames, and the black when you cover the earth with the coal o...
FOR WHAT BINDS US, Poetry, Jane Hirshfield, A poem about the scars of love
Просмотров 269Месяц назад
There are names for what binds us: strong forces, weak forces. Look around, you can see them: the skin that forms in a half-empty cup, nails rusting into the places they join, joints dovetailed on their own weight. The way things stay so solidly wherever they've been set down- and gravity, scientists say, is weak. And see how the flesh grows back across a wound, with a great vehemence, more str...
I HAPPENED TO BE STANDING, By Mary Oliver, poem about nature, peace and prayer, Pulitzer Prize
Просмотров 327Месяц назад
I don't know where prayers go, or what they do. Do cats pray, while they sleep half-asleep in the sun? Does the opossum pray as it crosses the street? The sunflowers? The old black oak growing older every year? I know I can walk through the world, along the shore or under the trees, with my mind filled with things of little importance, in full self-attendance. A condition I can't really call be...
SHADOW By Alice Oswald, Mythical Poem from Falling Awake ,Costa Poetry Award | Griffin Poetry Prize
Просмотров 276Месяц назад
SHADOW I'm going to flicker for a moment and tell you the tale of a shadow that falls at dusk out of the blue to the earth and turns left along the path to here groggily under its black-out being dragged along crippled over things as if broken-winged not yet continuous no more than a shiver of something with the flesh parachute of a human opening above it but lengthening a little as it descends...
