Emmanuel George Cefai Poems

A combination
A combination in the
tempest rose
colors were mixed
...

end is sweet
fading sweeter
for fading then
is a prolonged ending
...

there was I thought
a fading of sheer
suffering
but
...

we think
we think
we little act:
we think
...

German virtue: thinking;
thought

Virtue is a quantum of beauty
...

age
age grows with every
second
but I
...

At fifty now the time is come I think
To make the sums, to draw the line
Already the guns smoke and stink
With smells of acid powder:
...

How marble-like the limbs of this white queen
Delicacy made its shrine in every part
And Beauty veiling made her rest room there:
The stars twinkle in your eyes as in heaven do
...

How many long bleak nights
Will follow after you:
The humid air will surfeit with stillness
The sea-waves lie still as the Dead Sea.
...

In the green white-washed room
The light green darker turns in the dim light
Of the dim lightning bulb.
...
