Today Poems

The sun got out of bed
Swam across the ocean
Just to shine on you today

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But today,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

I think I have lost it somewhere along the way
From yesterday to today.

I shall die in Paris, in a rainstorm,
On a day I already remember.
I shall die in Paris- it does not bother me-
Doubtless on a Thursday, like today, in autumn.

The gold-hoarder walked in his palace park and with him walked his troubles. And over his head hovered worries as a vulture hovers over a carcass, until he reached a beautiful lake surrounded by magnificent marble statuary.

He sat there pondering the water which poured from the mouths of the statues like thoughts flowing freely from a lover's imagination, and contemplating heavily his palace which stood upon a knoll like a birth-mark upon the cheek of a maiden. His fancy revealed to him the pages of his life's drama which he read with falling tears that veiled his eyes and prevented him from viewing man's feeble additions to Nature.

'Am I, at bottom, that fervent little Spanish Catholic child who chastised herself for loving toys, who forbade herself the enjoyment of sweet foods, who practiced silence, who humiliated her pride, who adored symbols, statues, burning candles, incense, the caress of nuns, organ music, for whom Communion was a great event? I was so exalted by the idea of eating Jesus's flesh and drinking His blood that I couldn't swallow the host well, and I dreaded harming the it.

A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,
A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,
A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,
A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,

They tell me that euphoria is the feeling of feeling wonderful,
well, today I feel euphorian,
Today I have the agility of a Greek god and the appetitite of a
Victorian.

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
...

Today my mother died
Silently without a sign
Never inkling about her sadness
Even though we filled her with madness
...

To Alan Michell

Vixi duellis nuper idoneus
Et militavi non sine gloria

This day, Today, was a brimming glass.
This day, Today, was an immense wave.
This day was all the Earth.

The sun
Though sets today,
Will certainly rise tomorrow,
Every opportunity,

Didn't do anything extraordinary today,
Didn't do anything ordinary extraordinarily well either,
But I still had an extraordinary day today
Just being happy for no reason at all- besides the fact

What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?

The barbarians are due here today.
Why isn't anything happening in the senate?
...

the brain tells a truth and tells the heart to stay,

the heart says a truth and tells the brain to stay,

What are you going to do with 'Today'?
Are you going to just let it slip away?
Are you going to be Sad or are you going to be Glad?
Are you going to be caught in some useless Thought?

Today I feel happy yet sad inside
Today I feel positive with negativity in my mind
Today I feel accomplished even though a failure you will find

snowing outside today
ice is spreading like a web across the window today
cold is the temperature today
there should be a snowman built today

Because it would be superfluous
Into the spaces between her photo
See herself surrounded
Somehow she has to get in
...

Do today what needs to be done today
Say today what needs to be said today
Don't do tomorrow what has to be done today
For tomorrow is not ours
