Crowded By Fallen Leaves

Crowded By Fallen Leaves
by
Melcichon
April 9, 2012

crowded
by fallen narra leaves--
alone with a crescent moon
in a bench
where we first kissed
and
where our last embrace
was sealed.

I remember
how the full moon
spread its beam,
uplifted our spirits,
our dream
of eternal
togetherness
even on days
of summer
and of nights
of howling storms.

oh, how short
was the night
of our togetherness!

but like the moon
that sets
and the leaves
that fall,
we have to kiss our Earth
or be alone
like now
in this lonely bench
where we first kissed,
where our last embrace
was sealed.

Still

Still
Melchor F. Cichon
1995

Even if the sun will pierce My flesh
Still I will embrace the pain
Of the three nails
That will be hammered on My palms and feet
If that's the only way for Me
To be with many carpenters.

Still I will sip
The bile that will be pushed
Between my cracked lips
Just to moisten them.

Still I will welcome
The thrust of the lance between My ribs
If that's the only way to open
Their faith in Me.
And if death claims Me now,
Still I will accept it with a smile
For soonest
I will live with you
Forever in heaven
As it has been written.
