"It was he who had found and researched the poems that
were made available to me, and he it was who for my 'Major Works (...)' had made possible research by introductions -the unforgettable friend who much liked my style of writing." |

His poetry was his private philosophising, enjoyed in his circle of similarly interested friends, by many considered
the cultured elite of the society, some of whom he had given the first knowledge and love of poetry to and inspired.
He used a variety of metered and free-verse formats, and his philosophising was sometimes mystical in nauture.
He saw the good & the beauty, symbolically & otherwise, in everyone & everything, as he felt for the wold, yet saw hope ~as ilustrate the verses below extracted from some of his poems -translated: |

"Flower of the pomegranate.. flower of the pomegranate...
As a star descended from the skies a tree you ornate,
Like a girl who's just begun love to taste!"
"Reason is proud; imagination, sometimes, shameless..
Faith, one's faith, of both, the reins has..."
"One aching, no cure of hears,
No one to dry his tears,
Streets, to walk, one fears..
How the world, how the world!"
"Continues the suffering, and continues the wait..
But so long as tomorrows there are, the hope is great!"
