Matthias Pantaleon Poems

I do not want your boat close to here
Anchor them away from the harbour
Sail away, far from here, go somewhere
You have been but a noisy neighbour
...

Sally, do you still remember
When we use to play in the open field
We dream of daylight and breathe life
There is no fear in our world then
...

There is no such thing as morning star
Stars are beauties of the night
The eyes with which God watches the sleeping child
Don't tell me you know when you know not
...

And they sit on the floor of the shore
The wind tosses soft tides towards them
Some have their legs buried beneath waters
Ankles deep, they smile at everything
...

I see the twist in our path
There is just one shadow in the darkness
I see you standing in the rain
There is nothing more to talk about us
...

Peeping through the window of life
I figured how happy we use to be
As children playing naked in the rain
The pebbles of raindrop does magic to our psychic
...

The innocence of childhood,
The joy of motherhood; the pride of fatherhood,
Consumed in the peace of the night
In one night, death comes to them, naked and unprepared
...

A flawless piece of monument
Radiant like a sparkling white bonnet
She seized the shine for the moment
Soft girlie smile like Aja Monet
...

All the people I see are blind to the reality
All the good in the world, they still can't see
All the evil that's not they still fear shadows
All the fuss about what's not and narrow ends
...
