Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

In the Seas Below Mtahleb
Many secret chambers dwell
Aqueous
Haunted
...

Stopped
Ceased the secret chirping of the Bird
After the days of storm it was
And Wise was the Bird.
...

On the Boughs Chirped Birds
Lodgers of the tree
Inhabitants secretive
For wise.
...

Post meridiem
After the azure zenith of day
as they say
...

The Ageing Bird Still Sings
Sings from the heart
So I calculated
‘Less aged than its body be its Heart'
...

A fort
A ditch
A stagnant water
Silence all around
...

The sunset wants not tears.
The sunset in the shadows
Stood
Still to stand wants
...

Stuck on the Rocks of old Mtahleb
Where the Winds climbing up the cliff
Blew their anger and their Soul up
And as the Mid-night neared by
...

The Verses Add Up Slow
Forget the Slow.
Get the adding up.
Remember it.
...

For it of Haunting was.
And haunting that Beauty gives
That
The snow in Winter but not of Winter.
...
