Valsa George Poems

'Accept that to suffer is life
Tolerate your opponent without strife'
To this he did abide
But silently sighed
...

The banshee shriek
of arriving trains,
The chug- chug sound
of departing ones,
...

Said, Never Lived!


'I LOVE YOU'
...

My son, to us, you’re so very special
For reasons not just one or two!
But when you announced your arrival first
At an unexpected time and age-
...

Life, like a practiced comedian on the stage
Keeps smiling and frowning in turn
Under the embers of joy that spark from our hearts
There lies the pulverized heap of shattered dreams
...

In the stillness of the night when it rains
Haven't you listened to a funny chorus?
Cra…. Cra… Cra…. it goes on rough n' raucous
A ‘music' coming down to us through the air porous
...

After an hour’s incessant rain
On this cloudless evening
With the face of the sky
Washed clean
...

On a bleak and frosty night
Vexed and weary two travellers rode
Along the pathways-craggy and ragged
From Nazareth, trudging miles on end
...

Nothing Remains
Of a life lived together
When the world, to us, was full of beauty
...

She still smiled,
even when she knew,
life looped over her,
like a hangman’s noose.
...
