Pezzi di Ricambio [ Spare Parts] I am a magnificent complexity Outstanding in my imperfection A unique and ordinary perfection Of human nature. Alpha and Omega. The best at its worst The worst at its best. A human Creature. But you see My existence is a mystery to me. A replacement for number three...

PLACES TO HIDE They were just hallucinations You see The things you saw The things you heard. I only wish now I told you I saw and heard them too. I couldn’t step into the depths Of your reality Taunted by phantoms Ghosts and demons Eating at your soul. But I was fighting the Beast that took your...

THE EARTHLING-- major edit Naked and innocent Pure without sin I came to this place Struggling to gasp my first breath Naked and innocent Pure without sin My soul will leave my humanity To earth and to wind In death. I am fire and light A shooting star burning the heavens in the night My energy set...

STARLIGHT I want to sleep in deep night Wrapped in the warmth of starlight. I want the earth to cover me As my soul is set free Leave my body in peace behind. I don’t want to feel the pain of loss Or The memories of times gone by. I want to cross to another side And see The others waiting for me. I...

OF HUMAN BONDAGE I begin each day with a silent prayer That goes nowhere. Hidden faith of a Catholic boy’s dreams Or just part of a daily routine. I need to keep my brain alive Sharp and clear. It’s slowly dying you see. A brief litany or two reminds me who I am. I even talk to the dead As if they...

FROM PLACES DEEP From places deep Deeper than the unknown Lurking in dark corners of my mind Shadows of yesterdays cruel and unkind By Memory’s touch are free to roam. A fury rises to haunt my today. My heart once warm to the wonders Of this God’s World and Nature’s way New beginnings and no end...

PHANTOMS OF SILENCE I steal myself away Deep into Memory’s womb Safely wrapped in childhood dreams I play those scenes Over Again Of moments when My soul knew only innocence. I ride on the wings of imagination And Dance with the ghosts of yesterday. I sublimate reality In hope and fantasy As I fall...

BLOODLINE III: PEASANT DREAMS I am a peasant son From the southern Apennines Raised in a peasant tradition OF witches, seers and superstition. Nordic winds too run through these hills Cooling deep Gypsy passion. I fly on wings of peasant dreams And feel the earth calling me. I linger now in this...

Poetry
MARBLE AND STONE-revised Do you see me in the light. A reflected shadow once burning night Grace and form Fluidity. Magical words these. Now I am No longer who I used to be. I stand in shadows dim Alone Marble and stone Listening to my blood crash through my veins My being into slow motion change...

Poetry
IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF VALOR It’s not a matter of valor You understand Not courage That pushes me on. My fears take hold and paralyze Facing an unknown eternity And the silence of these infinite spaces Terrifies my soul. Yet I often see with a certain clarity Existence has no mystery. Some...
