Good Poems – I

Love After Love

                                     - by Derek Walcott

The time will come

When, with elation,

You will greete yourself arriving

At your own door, in your own mirror

And each will smile at other’s welcome,

Here is the Poem

Author: James Elroy Flecker

(Taken from ‘Beyond the Last Blue Mountains’ by R M Lala)

—————————————————————————————–

We are the Piligrims, master; we should go

Always  little further; it may be

Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow

Across that angry or that glimmering sea …

We travel not for trafficking alone;

By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned;

For lust of knowing what should not be known,

We take the Golden Road to Samarkand.
