Romeo Della Valle Poet Romanticism

Who Am I

I am the leftovers of yesterday, 
Today's joy and sorrow
And maybe the source of inspiration
For unknown writers of tomorrow...
Uncertain of my own destination, 
Only you and the Lord
May have a clear answer
For this puzzle of my life...

Yesterday: a poet, lover and dancer, 
Today: old, tired and facing a strife
And tomorrow: singing to the world
Through somebody else, perhaps, 
But still sending my message of love, 
Always humble like the one above...

I am the color of a rainbow's end, 
Camouflaged by light, 
Blending into blue sparkling patterns, 
Made sandy bright, 
Leaving a trace of footprints, then, 
I am gone with the tide...

Romeo Della Valle

Cynthia Buhain-Baello July 29, 2012 at 12:40 PM Hello Romeo. I read this poem with a deep regard for you as writer/poet and I am one of those that you have inspired to write more, even when the prospects are bleak and the rewards are financially, scarce. Still, the joy of writing keeps us recharged and alive, and yes - will be ready tomorrow by others. A great poem about you...and us.
