Searching for Love by Arthur L Wood – Original Poem

I was searching for love,
In the place a wiseman said was the land of death;
Then I felt myself evolve
In the exhalation of my purest breath;
Now I’m moving on,
For the world could do with a touch of my mother’s son.
I went down to the crossroads,
I got down on my frail bended knee,
And I saw how the world,
Was exactly as it was supposed to be;
Now I’m heading south,
While a northern breath still whispers in my mouth.
I threw myself to devils,
I fought them off without a single blow,
For the lord of all the angels
Is dwelling in my immortal soul;
And I’m staying still
Dictating all the motions of my wi...

    Folks, try to read Bruno Tolentino (the greatest Brazilian poet ever who also wrote many poems in English, French, Italian and Spanish - he lived for 30 years in Europe, mostly UK as far as I know). Bruno was in the prison of Dartmoor (England I think) for nearly 02 years and he also wrote his "A Balada do Cárcere " inspired by this poem by Wilde and his befriending of a convict who also had strangled his lover... Many references to Wilde, as well as Shakespeare and Greek mythology. His book is just as equally glorious, believe me!

    Alone again, aimlessly wandering the street, A memory of my dog accompanies my grief, A tune of eden chimes for me, but I am in still school, Not quite in, not even out, lonesome as a leaf Floating on a motorway where it does not belong. But I am going here, in my new walking boots, The cold air kisses me, as I greet the blessed day; I want to be a kinder man, with everyone involved, As I steer my absent will toward my favourite café, To drink a cup of coffee, to work out right and wrong. I smile with the sun, but I feel a taste of woe, For I go uninvited, and the friends I tried to make Are friendly with the others, while I remain alone, A leopard on a mountain path, a woodthrush by a lake, A troubadour without a single listener for his song. Beneath the tree I ceased, and I didn’t need to speak, I didn’t need to eat, and I didn’t need to think, And I didn’t need to be beloved; but there I was relieved, At the final resting place, where glory was my drink, And every passing second was so very long.
