Echoes from a sad soul

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.

In Sardinia, 1982

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!

Laissez faire, laissez passer

 


https://www.amazon.it/dp/B07H44DYF7

 

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!

Don’t ask me why

 

Don' t ask me why I've been there

Why I had to fill the emptiness of my days

Why was I lost in the darkness of nothingness

Why I didn't have a place to go to

Don't ask me why

I only remember now

 the time of hope

The smoking rings

The dreaming trips

That's our life

Made of mistakes

Driven by mysterious course

Aimed to search

What you think to be true

And the time being the cheater of our senses

Only God cannot mislead our souls.

In a middle-class drama

 

I would like to slice on pieces my tie

And throw them on you

I would like to eat

Using my hands at your table

Laughing in a natural way

I wish I could not hear 

Clanging my chains

When I move on slowly

You hear them too

But you don’t want to listen to them

for they are your own chains too!

We so spend our lives

playing a drama

somebody else has written

just for ourselves.

The Endless break

(for the shy smiling pupil)

I Cry the stray lamb

That I will search

Who will not come!

I cry

With no explanation

Of maybe I should ...

Or maybe I could ...

I just wish I still had the time

To get another shy smile

Of sweet melancholy.

Yet I know

We will laugh again

together

in the endless recreation!

Echoes from a sad soul - Vol 4

 

The Star full of  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 million miles,

I realized that love was inside of me.

That star was a star full of love.
