Poet Seer Of The South Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Poet Seer of the South
Prince of the unrecognized
Prince of the unheard
Of oblivion prince:
Arrangements resultant
After experiment after
Experiment
We of the South
I of the South
Unknown, unrecognized,
Entombed in Oblivion's grave
I saw
Many small
Lost
Many great that too
Were in Oblivion entombed
Small consolation!
A reign is by its gems and
Princes adorned!

Into
The
Garden
Chanting
Of
Verses
Commerce
Between
Flies
Dragon-flies
Bees
Humming
Beauty
Of
Butterflies
All
To
Beauty
Blinding
Wild
Reducing

Poet Seer of the South
Prince of the unrecognized
Prince of the unheard
Of oblivion prince:
Arrangements resultant
After experiment after
Experiment
We of the South
I of the South
Unknown, unrecognized,
Entombed in Oblivion's grave
I saw
Many small
lost
many great that too
Were in Oblivion entombed
Small consolation!
A reign is by its gems and
Princes adorned!

Princes of the night
Dwelling in the realms
Where twilight continues
Walking in to night:
Venice of the brain
Serene and cool-blown
Winds
Over canals
And gondolas flying by
And
The playing of violins
In casements open
On the night dark waters
Romantic sub-conscious
Princes of the night
Let me in your club
And company
Princes of the night
Paladins of the sub-conscious
Twist and turn
Column bronze and torque
From base to height.

There
Be
Nothing
Left
To
Rue
This
Night
The
Cool
Wind
Blows
In
The
Distance
A
Violins
Sings
With
A
Nightingale


Princes of the night

And

On the night dark waters
Romantic sub-conscious
Princes of the night
Let me in your club
And company
Princes of the night
Paladins of the sub-conscious
Twist and turn
Column bronze and torque
From base to height.
