Faust Poems - Poems about Faust

If you knew


If you knew...
That the one who tore you in two, and
Made you
One with the earth,
And
The one who glues you,
Unites you, petal by petal,
Contributes to your happiness...

If you knew...?
Would you shed another tear?

My heart is made of birds

My heart is made of birds
Singing for me ………… It’s about time,
For the raven to leave,

Sunrise is made of birds,
Singing in the dew shower,

An English Adaptation of Mephistopheles' Song of the Flea From Faust

There was a king once reigning
Who carried a great, big flea—
And far from him complaining,
The flea filled the king with glee!
For to him that flea was dearer
Than even his only son,
And to make his preference clearer,
Raised it higher than anyone!

In ermine, silk and satin
The flea was soon arrayed;
Of sable was is hat in,
His frock coat,

Trump Was A Faust

About Trump up we ere trying to roust.
When we had found him to be a Faust;
Looked in lake;

News on fire put out when we doused.

A Plain Man's Look At Hamlet and Goethe's Faust

Hamlet's story 
is sad and gory.
From the start the outlook's bad.
The king, i.e. Hamlet's dad,

who then had the nerve to wed Ham's mother.

is having a rave-up for all to see."

Doleful to see people trading their soul's treasure for a fleeting moment of fame!

The Return of Faust

What secrets lurk in my mind,
What forces torment my soul?
Secrets of some sinister kind,
Forces of evil eyes, black as coal!

I can sense your pounding heart
And smell the sweat of your fear,
Lo! I say so in truth from the start
So you are forewarned, be clear.

I thirst for blood, warm and red
And a virgin's heart I wildly

Faust

Faust and Fay went out to play all alone on autumn day,
in the barn the two would stray and muffle around in golden hay.
     Then appeared the Devil himself seeking souls for an empty shelf,
Who ye be faust then said, are ye the Devil all covered in red?
No, not I, he

Crimson Faust

Shattered thoughts pierce into the flesh of the souls betrayed
Wicked wounds forced beneath the crimson blade
Her last pain-staking wish to be taken under graceful Cherubic Wings
Will fall with Faust- A sacrifice to which no knowledge can be seen
Darkens descends with sickening pride
Wounds sting whilst they start to cry
Deceitful settings viewed with pale, dead eyes
Blur and

Mr. Faust

See...
Six thrice...
Mister Faust
Upon your head
All years you exchanged
For currency and wine
Divine you were but you chose
Leviathan to plant a rose...
Divine you were but you chose
For currency and wine
All years you exchanged
Upon your head
Mister Faust
Six thrice...
