Short Wert Poems

meine geliebte
wie es throbes von oben

Meine geliebte 
weil ich liebe dich sehr

i do not care für Eitelkeit
nehmen Sie mich , meinen Wert

Sie entschlüsseln ,.. meine Liebe...

I knew not what thou really wert,
Until from me thou did part.
Tho' innocence was what thou meant,
But poor me—that, I hastily spent!

And now in these days of my youth,
I have come to know the truth:
That childhood thou simply wert,
All those years I had thee in my heart....

Around me are whispers in the wind,
Promises for another time and day;
Sunlight slips around my shoulder,
Warmth, feeling its way.

Will I know the time of wind,
Or let it slip right through my hands?
Promises forgotten, misplaced,
Buried beneath the blowing sands.

Listen to poem:

'Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon',
I would not piss in your ear,
if your brain was on fire.
For what you have done defiles mercy's dung.
For on your face, the stain of wrongs is drawn, indelible,
And your words, beget bitter, pointless heartless disdain.
So soiled is your soul, and all grace is so far gone,
Forgiveness is pointless, a forlorn waste of time....

Dance?

romancing
the lost agenda

You’re so

Bird thou never wert,
That from Heaven, or near it,
Pourest thy full heart
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.”

Some people say
	almost every day,

	That love is a treat,
	but thou art a cheat;

	You love me not
	they swear with God.

	One even pinched his nose
	but still, I say thou art my rose;

	But if thou prove’st me wrong,
	after I wrote in my summer song

	That thou art the only one
	who doth bring me joy and fun

	And attest to me thou wert satire,
	sorrowfully from love I will retire....
