Revolution
23 July 2015
A turn of the mind
Born in a twist of the heart
That seethes with change

Down the rabbit hole I fell
20 July 2015

Daylight shone on all
As clocks of time unwound nights
Game of cards fell foul
Truth’s certainty was at play
Faith lives not within hearsay
The rooster crowed on
Oblivious to changing times
Its feathers ran thin
Old values all will forsake
For peacocks now call daybreak
Evening sun set calm
Upon all living creatures
Ensnared into dark
Soul’s footsteps may oft falter
As gold lays on the altar
The winding staircase
Led to dark bottomless pits
Where secrets lay bare
Down the rabbit hole I fell
Raking thoughts for show and tell

Healing
15 July 2015
Change within the knots
Carved in fragments of knit soul
That finds the loose ends

Al Tuo tocco
13 luglio 2015
Tocco in mente
Tua barba sottile
Spilli, brividi
.
Cuore in cuore
Due occhi di fuoco
Centro di terra
.
Anima brucia
I sentieri di pena
Creando luce
.
Al tuo tocco
Percorrono l’anima
Raggi di sole
.
Corpo in corpo
Fusione e fissione
Per un terzo noi

All the promises
1 – 10 July 2015
The hours still stand by
As space expands in morrow
Slate of time dilates
.
Crops burnt in corners
Lie idle remnants of past
When food was mundane
.
Eyes wide with glory
Mind quenched with victory’s thrill
You rule, King of dark
.
Corpses pile aflame
Memories of hearts that loved
In vanity died
.
Thrill of chase vanquished
Idle thoughts of loyalty
String of hearts like pearls
.
I believed a lie
Intoxicating promise
Of a brave New World

Forse
9 luglio 2015
Ti guardo timorosa ma sperando
Che i tuoi ricordi mancano all’appello
Che il tuo cuore ascolta più della mente
Che solo dei momenti velluti giri ritornello
Ed inebetita rintraccio le strade passate
Forse avrei trovato il senso della vita
Dentro le lacrime che cascano sul tuo volto
Dai tuoi belli e scuri occhi infossati
Accesi come due braci fiammeggianti
Diamanti incisi nella tua faccia scura
Forse avrei trovato uno squarcio di cielo
Soffiando parole dimenticate nelle tue orecchie
Le mie labbra vicino ai tuoi templi brizzolati
Dove il battito cardiaco si illumina svogliato
Dove la mascella dimentica di stringere
Forse avrei trovato il motivo per sorridere
Nel delicato chiarore del tuo naso storto
Appena sopra il piano di curve
Che porta all’angolo dove la tua labbra piena
Trova finalmente nuova gioia nel nostro abbraccio
Perhaps
9 July 2015
I look upon you fearful though hopeful
That your memories have missed a call
That your heart listens more than mind
For only our velvet moments to recall
And dazed, retrace features of the past
.
Perhaps I would find the meaning of life
Within the tears that roll down your face
From your beautiful dark sunken eyes
Blazing like two flaming pieces of coal
Etched diamonds in your rugged dark face
.
Perhaps I would have a glimpse of heaven
Whispering forgotten words in your ears
Lips close to your greying temples
Where your heartbeat glows listless
Where your jaw forgets to clench
.
Perhaps I would find the reason to smile
In the delicate flare of your crooked nose
Just above the curvaceous plane
Leading to the corner where your full lip
Finally finds new joy in our embrace
Heart’s rotating light
29 June 2015
First light opened skies
Night’s sky lent itself to blue
As the sun renewed
Awakening spleen moved hue
Ice clad dark loosened its grip
.
Birds shook themselves free
Of night long of frozen sleep
As warmth flooded Earth
In mind vibration of hope shone
Illuminating corners
.
Velveteen dawn spoke
Its voice the echo of breeze
Air trapped in time breathed
Mind let loose spun miracles
Weaving a shimmering trail
.
Prism of colours shone
Myriads of tones highlighted
Heart’s rotating light
The core spun around itself
A new age of heavens’ might
Rise from the dead realm
27 June 2015
Wild jasmine renewed
Into summer’s heat it shone
New buds blossomed white
In mind’s renewal lies light
Shining through waves’ distortion
Untouched they flourished
Blooming through the heat and dust
A bright wall of scent
Flooded senses built high hopes
Miracles outlive blemish
Roots withered bore new
Green grew where brown spelt dark void
Life’s cycle whirled on
Memories whirred on in mind
The old hastened to renew
Shadows played in sight
Dances of unicorns past
Rise from the dead realm
Behold the soul rekindled
From ashes of waves that flew
I walked down to the river
26 June 2015
Trickle of water
Ran upwards from spirit’s palm
Defying physics
Challenge to set intentions
Opened reservoirs of grace
Spring fresh gushed onwards
Streams forming in its light trail
Moving upward drive
Elevated concepts rose
Scaling mere fragments of thought
Land formations thinned
Water seeped in through all cracks
Deltas met their end
I walked down to the river
While it flowed down to the sea
Seagulls mewed faintly
Their sullen voices beckoned
Ocean’s thunderous cry
Flooded in white light that roared
Source stood in wake of my call
