Poetry

STUMBLE AND FALL We all stumble and fall Once or twice Some of us more On the roads we walk To our finality. Yet somehow we know How To pull ourselves up again. The moment The hour The second The day Will come to me When I fall again But my spirit will need to give in. You understand In the end We... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry

CAN YOU DANCE THE TANGO Can you dance the tango. Can you hold me close Show me the way As I used to glide across the room So easily. Can you make me feel The harmony of motion The grace that once was mine. Can you make me move again in ecstasy Fire in my veins. Can you just for a moment Take away... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE SHORE When I am no longer Who I am And can no longer see Reality Take me down to the shore Let the salt air embrace me Let Ocean’s waves caress my pain. Talk to me kindly Of things I used to know Again. Understand I am still there My soul hidden deeply in fear. In moments of... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry

A GIFT Roses butter yellow and crimson red Resting their head On leaves iridescent green, My heart drenched in their sunlight Blinding despair with hope and beauty. Lyrics to soothe the fear Of an end that draws all too near Calling my soul back to the light Dying from thoughts sad and unkind Free... Sign in to see full entry.

YOU WHO KNOW Tell me You who know Where will all my love go My fire, my passion, my energy My pleasures and my pain The light in my soul When my flesh grows cold And they bury me. Tell me You who know. Where does the love go. Will I live again when I end In someone’s thoughts and memory. Tell me.... Sign in to see full entry.

SIMPICITY I came to this earth On this Fall day Many years ago Caught my breath And here I am And here I stay Until the day My breath is taken from me By some Unknown And Unkind Entity. Then Back I go from where I came. What simplicity. The end. Sign in to see full entry.

poetry

Corridors I dream of corridors narrow and long Drenched in blinding sunlight Raspberry silk n the wall Dancing in the wind. I run to see what’s ahead of me Hope languishes in my soul As darkness begins to fall. Where then is heaven’s gate Tell me Why can’t I reach the end Of corridors narrow and...

Angelì [ITALIAN VERSION FOLLOWS] [Inspired by tales told to me by my Calabrian grandmother] Angelì, Angelì Do you see me Silently Breaking through the morning mist.

Poetry

AND ALL MONSTERS OF ITS KIND It has me in its control today This Beast that comes and goes To delight in my misery. It feeds on fear and human suffering Like all monsters of its kind. And one day it may steal my thoughts My dignity and my mind. But it can never have my soul. That belongs to me... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry

RAMPANT SUPERFLUITY--REVISED Rampant superfluity Gets in the way Of tasting life delicately Unnecessary thoughts Anguish unkind Memories that displease And dsiturb the spirit dreaming. Existential nausée That binds the mind Holds the soul hostage In chains Of torment and despair Prisoners of our... Sign in to see full entry.
