The Forever Land

Standard

*

in the forever land

where we land with no bones

nor clothes there

is it forever night

or forever day

.

can we hope for

a tomorrow where there is no

sunrise or sundown

or we being everywhere

will be forever

.

or we being forever now

can expect to be

everywhere blinded

to the light or

to the darkness

.

Frozen Are My Lips

Standard

*

frozen are my lips

in a January twilight’s

one of many still ones

silent and clear

as crystal drops

suspended all around

are the words of

the poem dancing

around my head

waiting to be seen

heard and repeated

from the heart frozen

are my fingertips

as poetry melts my

life of many pages

.

January Morning

Standard

*

out of the dark gray morning

the turtle dove calls

.

same song she plays

on all seasons to call me

.

out of sleep into the awakened

daily life the tiresome day life

.

holding a couple of songs

such as hers

to keep me standing

.

..

Effervescence

Standard

*

there’s effervescence in

me or could it be around me

the energy that charges

the opening of revelations

.

help me open that door

like a gentle hand that knows

relieve the pain that flattens

me into an ordinary person

.

Noticing

Standard

*

it takes some time

to still my thoughts

to rid my eyes of this

perpetual blindness

.

to notice the greenery

around my bench

.

to come alive truly

by noticing the little

masterpieces laid

out there for me

.

All The Seeds

Standard

*

he sleeps next to me

as sleep avoids me

.

I try to rest one piece

at a time breath after breath

.

he knows best as the moon

rises late behind the roofs

.

me I can’t wait for the sun

to shine on all the seeds

.

I planted in me

and in the dirt

.

Prima Vera Domenica

Standard

Sunday’ posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry. Tuesdays’ poems will be in English, as always.

*

a noi non resta

memoria della neve

del suo cadere silenziosa

del suo coprire e calmare

del suo sciogliersi nutrendo

.

a noi resta

la terra dura dell’inverno

di una siccità sgradita

che porta ad una rigidità

non fertile al fuoco estivo

.

a noi che non badiamo

e nulla ascoltiamo noi

.

.

Breathing

Standard

*

it’s the stall that

makes me nervous

the space between

branches that

.

makes me breath

.

the silent wake up

calls before the

birds sing that

has me pray

.
