: go to http://www.angelfire.com/ma3/lordneep/writings/index.html and tell me if those are 4 poems. : : On the Deathbed : : Go, rest your head on a pillow, leave me alone; : : leave me ruined, exhausted from the journey of this night, : : writhing in a wave of passion till the dawn. : : Either stay and be forgiving, : : or, if you like, be cruel and leave. : : Flee from me, away from trouble; : : take the path of safety, far from this danger. : : We have crept into this corner of grief, : : turning the water wheel with a flow of tears. : : While a tyrant with a heart of flint slays, : : and no one says, "Prepare to pay the blood money." : : Faith in the king comes easily in lovely times, : : but be faithful now and endure, pale lover. : : No cure exists for this pain but to die, : : So why should I say, "Cure this pain"? : : In a dream last night I saw : : an ancient one in the garden of love, : : beckoning with his hand, saying, "Come here." : : On this path, Love is the emerald, : : the beautiful green that wards off dragonsnough, I am losing myself. : : If you are a man of learning, : : read something classic, : : a history of the human struggle : : and don't settle for mediocre verse.
