Echoes from a sad soul - 2

Sometimes people are strange

 

I don’t know why people are strange

‘cause   never want to make a change

  I might look  same at their own eyes

My  poetry no new ways tries

 

I always search reasons of life

And I dislike all human strife

I‘ve been long time singing of love

Something like more a mourning dove

 

I claim for peace and brotherhood

I fear to be misunderstood

I cry the times have gone away

I should depart but still I stay

Never will change a poet’s heart

Always will live the world apart

That’s our fate I might believe

Can’t never get  what we conceive!

That star full of love

 

I woke up one morning

and there was a star in the sky

I followed that star

all around the world

 

I was searching for love

and when I found myself

on the starting place,

after twenty five millions miles,

I realized that love was inside of me.

 

That star was a star full of love.

The Dreamer

 

https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0CQDFK2JW

This romance, although conceived and partially dreamed in English, was originally written in Italian language with the title “The Essence of life” in the early eighties of the past century; at the beginning of this new century I made a translation into English language. Hereafter it was published with four different titles: “And then four crows will fly away”; “The thin line between dream and reality”, “Just a story of islands” and “The real story of Patrick Winningoes”. Now eventually it’s published under title of “The Dreamer: a novel of love and madness”. Therefore the present is the fifth edition. This is the synopsis. A noble and rich man, with a double, confused personality, is planning for an unlikely love as well as for an impossible new mondial order. In his reasearch he comes accross two young people searching for a job. He’s ready to employ them with a well paid job but before hiring their services, he asks them to listen to a story: the real story of Patrick Winningoes. But the employer turns out to be a master of trickery and illusionism who has a mysterious plan where he tries to involve the two friends. At the end of this story they will find out that the reality is often misrepresented. And things are so different from how they sometimes appear. The story is set between London and Dublin in the late seventies of the 20th Century.

The poet’s claim

 

The lambs lie down on Westminster

sacrificed by the shot dead

priest of a nothingness faith

pushed by madness

moved by hate

sent by pretending prophets

who now are cheering up 

for more victims

in the pantheon web

of foolishness.

 

But two faults

never can make a why,

and violence can never be justified

even if you had a reason

to be spent

 somewhere.

Men of power,

for the sake of the True 

Merciful God

of all humanity,

please, put apart all your selfishness

and hear the poor poet

claiming for justice.

In palestine in nowdays and everywhere

men practise violences to other men

I remember

 

I remember when,

at the winter solstice,

 we danced under the stars

to propitiate the favor of the gods!

Then came a man,

the son of the Only true God!

I still look at the sky above me

when the stars come together in December!

 But now I know whom to pray

for the weaknesses of humanity,

and I know whom to thank

for the beauty of the world!

Killers on line

 

My heart is bleeding

Bleeding on line!

While searching for love

I’ve found killers on line.

You are a master

Master of space

You feel so skillful

Skillful on words

You shoot with your rifle

Blindly to art

Keeping real poetry

Far away apart!

You keep on shooting poets

Down there on line!

Someone is killing Eraton

Somewhere on line.

I have walked through many paths

 

I ‘ve walked through paths

Paved of illusions

flying high

and dashing

to feel the thrill of the void

to find a new upward thrust.

I’ve traveled paths

Beaten by vain spirits

trembling heart

confused and restless mind.

Now I walk

Through paths of peace:

each step

a time of faith.

The time of love

Maybe I’ve loved you

A long time ago

When you

Vestal of Hippocrates

chastely manipulated

The matter sacred to your god!

Maybe you would have loved me

In another time

Where I would have drawn

With words

Your Greek profile

In white veils wrapped!

Maybe I will love you

tomorrow;

but today it is far away

the time of love!

Nostalgia Time

If you could go back in time

Who wouldn’t tighten to his strong chest

The young mother of good old days?

And who would not follow

the unheard advices

by old good father?

Ah, if we could go back

On those pink lips sighing

Dreams still far from coming!

But while it is true that we are traveling

To the homeland we departed from 

that day we were born on earth,

then you better keep on struggling

that road that leads to Superior Mount

 with prayers and courage!

Another trip for  Mr Shadow

I

It’s very hard to live my own life

Fighting against the inhibitions,

the limits, the taboos of my own time!

 

It’s really very hard to cancel my personal history,

chopping off every bond with my past!

 

It’s hard to change the idea

We have of ourselves,

forgetting   what  the others

believe   to know of  us!

 

And it’s hard again to change

Our idea of  the life,

seeking for trust,

not in the eyes of the other people,

but in the deep eye of our being.

 

II

It’s hard for me to proceed

Through this path of loneliness,

hoping to undertake one day

my trip to Ixtlan,

to bathe me in the sacred river,

to purify me of all my sins,

and  understand the mysteries of life,

smelling the magic flower,

to reach the eternal safety,

the apex of   knowledge,

the heaven of the ever green city  

where the seven gold doors

 will finally open their secrets!

 

And the soul will fly for ever

Through the endless worlds

Of the universe.

Lost in the House of Dawn

Ehi, Mr Shadow

Would you please tell me

How has gone away

the age of Aquarius?

That story full of love,

Hope and romance!

And why now

cannons balls

Keep on flying?

Please, tell me

 where the best minds

Of your generation

Are resting now?

Talk to me again

Of peace,

Speak again of brotherhood! 

Aren’t you

used to live your

Own life anymore?

Or you’ve really got lost

In The House of Dawn?

There’s love and love

There’s sibling love

and father's love

There is also a mother's love

which never deceives

There is a filial love

There are lovers

Burning of passion

There is spousal love

That does not imply trouble

There is divine love

Higher and eternal

that never fails!

Come on! Laissez faire, laissez passer!

Today is not time

To arrest people anymore!

Don’t you know is November the 9th 1989?

Today there is not time

To stop goods anymore!

Come on!

Only one thousand dollars

Will cost you

A plenty full track!

At 9 past 21 p.m.

The wall is falling down!

Laissez faire, laissez passer!

There are bound to be changes

For our lives further on!

It’s crashing down

Together with our illusions

Their false promises

The wrong secular hope!

Come on!

The wall is not hiding anymore

The totems of progress!

Let’s go worshipping

The glittering gods

Bounding ahead!
