You Stand Beside A Star

You stand beside a star
and together you go out
In a night where day breaks
Suddenly...and in this leaving
No one sees you in the light...
O! beautiful whiteness
O! sorrowful traveler...

A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.

Only the closest collaborators of the Fuehrer know how difficult is the burden of this responsibility; how sorrowful are the hours during which decisions must be made which bear upon the well being and the fate of all of Germany.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

The Ironies of Life

An angel of death is more becoming
Than an angel of wine which make us uncanny

A sorrowful bird will fall less likely
Than a proud one whom restless will be

I am just a rock, down trodden and stepped on
But I am stronger than a boulder that breaks when thrown

Wings

The wings of a butterflly
caught my gaze
then quickly went away.
To catch a fleeting
glimpse of it
started my beautiful day.

The wings of a hungry hawk
caught my gaze
as he circled in my sight.
To glimpse the soaring bird of prey
ended my sorrowful night.

The Ghost's Nymphomaniac Wife

She embraced me in the pitch darkness
And her rigourous kiss was very painful
As her wisdom tooth pierced my pale lips.
And she raped me.
I realized her sarcastic smile
Looking at my prostration.
I feel the yield sorrowful death while alive
And she fades away.

Tragedy too is relished

Every parting is painful
Like every death is sorrowful.
Every parting has behind it
A vivid sojourn
Like every death has behind it
An emoted relation.
Rue not the end.
Muse on the events.
It is a pleasurable pain
Like Shakespearean Tragedies.

Falling, Without Restraint....

it is no longer about living or dying,
but merely falling like rain...
on the good and the evil,
the wanted and unwanted,
on both the poor and the rich.
on the man, the woman, and the child,
the stray dog, and the empty field.
on the broken, the wounded,
and the sorrowful...
falling, without restraint!

Dark Sooth

The airs of her sighs transcend me to lofty spheres
Through its dark shadow mine pallid face distinguish
Love its mystery painted on my heart's sears
In pain, of love, I fade slowly extinguish
Into sorrowful, murky, gloomy tears
Lost in darkness of dark's sooth
I say to thee if thou love like me this is thou destiny…
