Edmund Calleja Poems

(If you can't save the relationship,
at least save your pride. Unknown)

It was a strange love story
...

Longings that have passed away are like
the beautiful bodies of the dead who never aged,
conceiled in slendid sepulchres by tearful mourers
with roses at their head and jasmine at their feet.
...

The death of Love does away with elegies
As there's litle left to bury
Save sweet memories and heart aching.
...

One grain of Love was all
I asked for
And not the Reapers of Sorrow and Joy
...

The card you left with me
Was in your painful presence,
Surreal palpitations
Which touched my very essence.
...

Do you remember the summer nights,
Those endless evenings of our Love
When you and I held our hands
And shared the longings of our eyes,
...

The sensation of death only exists for the ones left here.
Every dear person, upon departing, becomes our protector –
After going through a period of longing,
We should be joyful, since we are better protected.
...

(And let it be said that love is like a river
that flows deep into the heart of the soul) .
...

(The walls we build around us to keep
sadness out also keeps out the joy.
Jim Rohn) .
...

(Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark. George Iles)

As the fairy dust settled gently
In the meadow of my poetry,
...
