Christopher Teale Poems

Don't hear, listen.
Don't give, share.
Don't see, notice.
Don't hope for good, do good.
...

My tears are black ink
That spill upon empty pages
I try to hold them back, till I blink
And they escape their swollen cages
...

La noche se alarga con tu memoria
Pensamiento que arde en mi mente
Mientras la Luna pasa por el cielo lentamente
Para hacerme acuerdo de la cruel belleza
...

I can only dream of you
Dream of your memory
Live of your thought
Singing a melody
...

The only means to survival is death,
For I die to poetry,
I die to humanity,
to survive as a parody to man.
...

A leaf upon the wind
A pebble in the river
We walk to a forgotten end.
...

Lights floating on the water,
Over the dark and cold
Lights floating on the water
From the days of old
...

Met by unspeakable curiosity
We come to doubt ourselves
Analyzing with terrible scrutiny
The story the universe tells
...

A flower that passed me by
With radiant beauty it didn't own
For as time comes its way
The seeds of age it will sow
...

Sitting in a boat in a lake
Drifting slowly around
Not sure whats true or fake
As my mind wonders about
...
