The rhythm of my life

 

The rhythm of my life

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CW1FTLMB

I want to forget to be a man

Who needs your love, Elem

And that you are the only woman

I can fall in love with;

 

I want to forget your eyes

Where I could see

What wasn’t there

Which never was

 

But if you could only know

How much of love I need

You would take me

strongly on your heart

where beats the rhythm of my life.

In death of my brother Peter Marino

In death of my brother Peter Marino

 

You’re back to your mystery

After crossing a desert

of loneliness;

you were too generous

to share your sorrows with others

and  you’ve never known love.

Now the dawn of silence

 separates us forever;

and only prayers remain

to thank you

for what you have been.

The price of freedom

 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CW1FTLMB

The price for our freedom


Do not brandish

my weak body

hot eyed tiger,

 don’t flatter me

sinuous temptation!

I would like my spirit

to take refuge where God shines.

 Help me, Lord,

 So I do not forget

 what price was paid

for my freedom!

The Endless Break

The Endless Break

(for the shy smiling pupil)

 

I Cry the stray lamb

That I will search

That will not come!

I cry

Without any explanation

Of maybe I should ...

Or maybe I could ...

I just ran out of time

To catch on his face

Another uncertain smile

Of sweet melancholy.

Yet I know

We will laugh again

together

in the endless recreation!

The Poem of Creation

 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0181HCMKY


Hereafter the lights in the sky He set

Doing the moon and the sun for night and day,

And other signs and stars in dose correct,

for making years and seasons going away,

For the Most High is much more than perfect

And furthermore of this I cannot say!

About this seventh stanza therefore

I will not tell you nothing anymore!

 

 

“Fly off all birds”- said God- “freely in the air

And splash in to the  sea any kind of fish;

Graze lambs, calves and livestock everywhere

In grassy lawns that will never languish;

Grow up any reptiles fair and unfair,

living beings either monstrous or polish!”

After the earth had all animals found

God said to them to multiply around.

 


And finally God said: - “ Let’s make  the man

In our image and likeness, every

And each animal to lead on  command!”

After doing that He rested quietly.

Henceforward, after six days, on the land

men, on the seventh, stay steady Godly,

being it consecrated for prairie and rest,

Both the last hours and also the first!

 

 

But the Creation was not yet complete

Still being missed the breath of the Animator

Who into a giant can transform a bit!

Waters from earth going up by Creator

To mist all over the ground were admit

So could mould the man God the Great Factor

and by that divine blow the man was made

though lonely however, he sadly stayed.

Your power won’t last forever

 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JPK5MCD

 

Come on great men of the world

who owe the power

You have already had much money

To move on soldiers

much gold to feel stronger

luxury palaces to live comfortably safe in!

And fields, ground, soil, trees,

Rivers, lakes and seas

As far as your own eyes can get

‘Till the horizons can show!

 

But do you really think

your power will last forever?

 

Don’t you remember Ramses the Third,

Cyrus of Persia, Nebuchadnezzar,

Alexander the Great, the emperor Augustus

and all the kings from the past up to Napoleon?

You’re now inventing new richness made of nothing

You’re exploiting the soil under its surface

And even you’re searching for more in the universe

Still cheating the poor!

But don’t never forget

Whom God created the world for!

How beautiful is love

 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016FL9MVA

1.

How beautiful is love

 

 

I fill a pillow with your hair

And  keep it close in  night-time!

 

If you don’t love me

Let me do it my way.

 

Don’t laugh on me Elem

Please don’t

‘cause I would hate you

 

Instead I love you:

how beautiful is love!
