Elia Michael Poems

Today's thought is about how to behave
Maybe you think honesty a virtue
But think before you are honesty's slave
Don't say hurtful things, even if they're true
...

I was watching West Side Story
And was gob smacked by its freshness
It’s over half a century
Old yet it has such directness
...

Blow wind blow, blow the autumn leaves around
Blow and make them swirl high from the low ground
Make them dancing dervishes in the air
Let them revel without a single care
...

Under the grassy mossy blanket - Rest
Tearing searing pain can never again
Touch your brief brightly burning brilliance
You are locked in Earth's sheltered embrace - Rest
...

Turn up the hi-fi to maximum
You cannot listen to Beethoven
Turned down to a paltry minimum
For he is music's Leviathan
...

A picture treasured is when you appeared
In front of me (in years so far away) .
An instant love was born and I revered
Your form and soul on that auspicious day.
...

I am sitting here in my room
I am waiting for a call
To go walking but I assume
We will not be going at all
...

It’s a difficult decision
To take or not to take her
I may be in for derision
If I take or not take her
...
