Emmanuel George Cefai Desperation Poems

In desperation
Now he worked
He worked as in desperation
And
...

Desperation be desperation
Yet
How colorful vocabulary
How colored the images!
...

Desperation grips me now.
There be words, but these in my throat
Choke.
...

Beauty's how it vies in Desperation's Eyes
And then of Beauty have I in my eyes
So much!
For in my eyes be Desperation enthroned
...

Desperation is descended
Thus
That twilight turned to
Red
...

Of desperation
And in desperation
I have breathed such
...

This night
I dress the maskof
Desperation
But not just
...

verses in desperation
wit
verses of fleeing horses
verses
...

Desperation
the cry - the screams
the vase of the heart
that breaks
...

There's
Desperation in the eyes
Despite
That before us
...

Yet desperation must be extreme.

Yet once its fire be as wild as to
...

Womb of desperation
Stretching
Over whole
Countries and continents
...

Of desperation you now see the face
That face be my face too
That desperation
...

Of desperation sung I
For would I otherwise?
Before me fall
I saw the walls of fort by fort
...

To feel the legs no more as legs of wood.
To feel the slow but sure motion of suffering.
...
