THIS SONG WHICH NEVER ENDS
Such words, poetry rare
Exulting reality
Into voice Expression
Into being
Being into form.
From out of ashes
Out of seasons
Years time and reason
And from out of every man
Woman born
Conceived.
All truths shadows And all loves
Destructions and voices
Perceived
Complete and thus returning
Like Angels
Like Gods
Again to tell their stories
Or to tell the tale
The myth, the verse or the prayer
The hymn manifested
Again
For here is your
Hero
Your villain
And your Goddess renewing
The world
And here is your song:
Their song
Our song
All songs
Beginning &
Then ending again
These poems and these words
A dance A waltz
These songs remaining, returning
Like every prophecy foretold in
The past The present & The future
Born from
Every sun
Every star
Every moon
And every daughter
Within every universe
Contained.
For this place, world
Is a universe made up
Of dust & words, language
And resurrections
Hello
Goodbye
Farewell
Love
Death
And sorrows
Vision.
Such words, such voices
Poetry rare
Exulting reality beyond
A human heart
So human, so frail
This song which never ends.

WHERE TO GET THE RESURRECTION WALTZ
WHERE TO GET THE RESURRECTION WALTZ
R.M. Engelhardt is an underground writer whose poetry and writing has been widely published in many online magazines as well as in print magazines over the last 20 years or so. He is the author of several books such as “The Last Cigarette, The Collected Poems Of R.M. Engelhardt” and many others and in style is comparable to such writers as Nick Tosches, Charles Bukowski, Pessoa and even a bit of the mystic and Rimbaud are thrown in as well. What speaks to you in his poems is the crafting of the ordinary and its beauty as well as the gritty, daily reality of life and living in the 21st century. Engelhardt’s poems in this book, ”The Resurrection Waltz” Engelhardt also speaks about the questions and the relevancy of poetry and the place of the poet in a technology driven future age where it seems that the poem and poetry has been forgotten and or has been left for dead (Saint Poem).
There is even a piece in here where the poet turns to the late musician Warren Zevon and a bottle of scotch for answers to some of life’s more romantic questions. Overall? I enjoyed this book quite a bit and am glad I bought it.

SILENCE FALLS
Incantations
Psalms of syntax
Sonnets of dust
Stanzas of the night
Travelers by night, Nocturnes.
Silence.
“Silence, the words ever-moving into foolishness
Fading. The silence prolonged, so secretive of thought”
The Silence Falls.
Love, the, the most difficult of phrases,
The man of this phrase out of phase ~ fragments left of
What’s lost, out of time & out of place.
Silence Falls.
The spirit
Is the future,
The spirit is the flame
By the sea, by the light and by the storm
Returning, perceiving the great wheel turning
A vortex.
The past an abstract sky
The true song thru speech
As the veil will have it
All beauty dropped out of time, out of loneliness
Thru body and mind, soul.
These casualties all things
Becoming
Vox Verbum
Postremus Cantus.
As The Silence Falls
Words, Images Fading
Into history, voices poetry
The song an echo repeating
Into the void.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Next exit
To the place where
All our worlds meet
And end
And I will
Meet you there.
