Then came a Man

 

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

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!

Still I 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!

Sometimes people are strange

 



  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

I don’t know why people are strange

They 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!

Forgive me Lord

 

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

Forgive me Lord

if passing

under Thy Cross

I mocked at You

Like a poor ignorant

As a blind arrogant

And stupid presumptuous

which I was,

such an insensitive spectator

which I am;

Please teach me

not to waste

the time you have given me.

I search of You at Dawn

 

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

Just when the  shadows of the night

Are made pale by the rising sun

You are my first thought;

perhaps instinctively,

or for fear,

may be for love!

Grant me my  Lord

to meet You

at the dawn

of our new life.

My time is over now baby

 


 

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

Your promises of love

hang over me

like shadows

Sweet young girl

And I realize

My time is over

To be in love with you

While praying I understood

 


 


 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

I'm a silent man

Full of thoughts

though out of my mouth

I gush only sighs.

And  suddenly  I understand that Love

It is a divine ray.

I search of you where you are not

 

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

Why do I look for You

Where You're not

My Lord?

I look and I see you

I listen and I feel you

And not words of praise

Come out of my mouth!

Why do I look for you

Where you are not,

My Lord?

The stabbing scream

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE


 

 

You charge me for brainwashing

for pressing you down;

maybe is right

who says the fault

is giving the life

though I  thank God for living!

But that stabbing scream

pierced my soul

from the darkness

of your strenuous girlhood.

Remember


Remember

 

Remember

you're just passing through

on earth

and that the world is not yours

but it's your body

that belongs to the earth;

Remember

that love is built

very slowly

while passion

burns everything in a hurry;

Remember


that every man

has its own dignity

and he deserves all respects.

Remember

who has sown

when you collect the fruits.

Remember

to greet the sun

whenever it rises

and whenever it sets.

Remember

that you are light

lighting

the darkness of eternity.

The New Day

 



The new day

(in death of my brother Mauritius)

 

Now the veils of Maya have fallen

And no longer covers your body

The armor of the Syrian Naaman

I see on your face again

Shining the ancient light

Of our childhood games

When hopes

were all to come

And the misleading curtain

Which hardens the hearts

Had not yet come between us

Run now

On your nimble legs

Wait for me in the sunny lands

Where the sun never sets

In death of my brother Peter Marino

 


https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

Now the  dawn of silence

separates us forever

only prayers are left

for me to thank you

for  what you have been.

 

You're back to your mystery now

After crossing a desert

Of loneliness;

It was beyond your unselfishness

To share with  someone your  solitude

and you've never known love.

I hope to see you again


Somewhere, up in the Skies!

Praying for your happiness

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0165T61NE

If you breathe

This same sea

 as I do

Something already join  us

Beyond thought

And I float in the wind

In the eager search

of your body.

But now I know

You Are unhappy too!

And so I pray

For your happiness!
