Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

Currents?
There were two currents attached
First
But then other Currents came
...

The Reasonable Man self-called
He stood delighted
And self-satisfied.

‘At the end of the Photo Album
A State Funeral or the like I see.'
Said my Monsignor.

As to a closed flower
In whose closed petals hid and stayed raw Beauty.
...

Where have I gone?

At times hard granite from the cliffs

And those were roots of verse that took years to grow
But thus grown now
Rivet me to the rocks of Verse
...

At least as a child I wrote
At twelve the first few verses
Those Childhood Verses
Then ceased
...

Said the Crowd:

We, Crowd be gathered to hear a song and verses.
