About

A small collection of poems written in the last years. Snapshots of moments and people. All poetry is a short outburst that has given relief to my soul during a special day.

labyrinth

Is this the Peace day?
I wish
I would
I hope
No world Peace
No personal Peace feeling
This time is touching my soul
And  i can't go on
Without thinking on this world war
And on my endless love
I am loosing myself in thid labyrinth
I am looking for your hand
To drive me outside

Carrots

Like a sleeping rabbit
I am an easy target
For your game.
I am waiting a new player
To let you go
And play alone.
Unable to change
Unable to refuse your carrots.

Truth

19-03-2016

One day you will find yourself in front a PC
And you’ll ask him
Where is my life?
Where is my love?
Where are my friends?
And you couldn’t find answer.
Even though the sun is rising,
no answers it will bring with itself.
The music is playing
But your mind is wavering.
Your finger unable to type.
You will try to change things in any possible stupid way.
Still waiting for what you can’t have.
No place, no person, no food, no work will give you peace,
but silence
You will dive in the silence,

Till you’ll find truth.

Maestri - Masters

01-03-2016

Caro maestro,
il tuo insegnamento è un macigno.
Eppure non potevi che darmelo tu.
Solo chi amiamo
può deluderci e ferirci
e così lasciarci gli insegnamenti più preziosi.
Solo tu
Potevi lasciarmi sola, muta, attonita
Davanti al mondo, attraversata da tutto
Senza apprezzare il sale
Per farmi comprendere un giorno
Quanto vale l’acqua

Dear master,
Your teaching is a boulder.
nobody could give me it but only you
Only those we love
may disappoint us and hurt us
and so, leave us the most valuable lessons.
Only you
You could leave me alone, silent, stunned
standing in front of the world, crossed by everithing
without appreciating the salt
In order to make me understand
How much the water is.
