"dont leave me" ~ Jaques Brel

Do not leave me now We must just forget

Yes, we can forget All that’s flown beyond
Let’s forget the time The misunderstands

And the wasted time To find out how To forget these hours

Which sometimes kill The blows of why, A heart full of joy.

Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now

I offer you Pearls of rain Coming from the lands Where it never rains

I will cross the world Till after my death To cover your bosom With gold and light

I will make a kingdom where love will be king W here love will be the law

Where you will be queen

Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now

I Will invent for you The insane words That you’ll understand And I will tell you

Of these lovers who Were seen twice With their hearts in blaze

I will say in detail The story of this king Dead, from having not Encountered you.

Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now

One often recalls Flames light anew From an old volcano Thought to be too old.

It appears that The scorched fields Can give more corn Than the best of springs.

And when evening comes In this blazing sky The red and the night Marry nevermore.

Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now Do not leave me now

I will cry no more I will talk no more Will hide somehow

Just to look at youDance and smile

And to hear you Sing and then laugh

Do not leave me now

HORROR SLEAZE TRASH

Two years in the making, Ben John Smith's second hard cover collection of poetry, and predecessor to Air a Boire, is finally here, and ready to be flogged! Featuring the extremely brilliant composition work and inlay design of German trash artist THS (www.ths.nu).

My horrible typos and silly word slinging has been painstakingly edited by my good friend and fellow writer for HST, Ian Shearer; with special thanks to Mike Daily for being such a dude. This is not the collection of artists featured in HST over the past few months, this is a book i started long before the HST was even thought about.

108 pages; 6" x 9", jacket-hardcover binding, cream interior paper (50# weight), black and white interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink. Jacket Wrap and gold embossing on cloth spine.

While i have tried to keep the price as absolutely low as possible (I'm making about 1 dollar from each book) i know it's still scrapped in a little steep but with out pissing in my pocket - it really is worth the money spent, not only for my poetry but for the entire feel and complete package only a hard cover like this can embody.

Obviously for adults only, i am very pleased to send this sucker out into the world and hope for a wide reception of feedback in any form, from any one! Please DO NOT buy this book if you are easily offended, have any shred of respect for me at all, don't want to hear stories about my penis, fear you may be exposed in one of these poems, are a family member of mine of D'Arnes,if you drink soy latte's or enjoy poetry about flowers and rivers. Any one else, please check it out with a grain of salt and a giggle and i thank you in advance for your support and on going communication.

Lets all get pissed and say silly things!
