Best Fra Poems

That is the path I've chosen,
covered with soft blades of grass
hedged with variegated hostas,
and moonlight filtering 
through hanging willow trees.
The winding path tilts slightly uphill,
towards a wooden pergola
that glimmers in the darkness,
a temple built in paradise 
for my lovely Marguerite.

I have planned my life's purpose,

Maya ~ make my day positive, I can not imagine a day without her

Absolutely my very best friend ~ from morning to evening

You're loved ~ you're strong when I'm weak

Amazing ~ you might not see it ... but I do

when heart is broken
and wings can no longer fly
  what does the fox say?

  world turned to chaos
gays and lesbians were arise
   what does the fox say?

    terminator came
Obama provides healthcare
  what does the fox say?

Quelle vicende vissi fino in fondo.
Quando mi riappropriai della mia vita
Se questo è un uomo chiesi a tutto il mondo.”
Those events I lived through and through.
When I again impropriated of my life
If this is a man I asked all the world.

Dopo lunghe vicende della vita
Mi ritrovai seduto su un divano       
Con un telecomando fra le dita.
When my life struggles were to their end
I found myself sitting on a sofa
Holding a tv  control in my hand.
E girando i canali...

If I didn't know what I know about truth
I'd give a wink, join the ranks of the uncouth.
Logical conclusion when dealing with guile:
Half-truths are just exaggeration's test
hyperbole -  inaccuracy at best.
Little white lies?  spout off, and smile.

"Thus yellow does for white (behind...

Poesia per Magee

Poem to Magee- Italian

C'è stato
un momento
un incredibile istante
quando ho ardito attraversare
la linea invisibile
eretta con tanta cura
fra di noi
per proteggere
i nostri soffici
muti segreti

come potevo sapere
che non sarebbe esistita
 un'altra te

eppure
con un solo battito del cuore
privo di ragione
privo di freno
attraversandola sono entrato nel tuo mondo
e...

Fra Angelico Sermon on the Mount
Jesus and his tight knit group
the pristine sculptured scene
breathtaking and serene
a halo light surrounds the head
of keen ears leaning in
it’s as if the disciples have died
and gone to heaven to relive
this ultimate speech
robe’d in blue, red and pinks
yet there’s a...

Little bird in my yard
he sprang, with out guard.

His foot is mending
his wings now bending.

Flying up and away
his little feet still fra.

He spent three days
in my garage.

His little life
almost a marage.

Yet now he flys 
up toward bright blue skies.

Oh my what do I see,

Oola, Fra-la-la-la!
Oola, Fra-la-la-la!
Lovely sweetheart,
I feel the need 
to touch you slowly and gently:
charm me with those ruby lips
and swear your faithfulness to me!
I'm trembling at such stunning beauty,
other women can't win me so easily;
I'm way too clever
to promise them I'll be 
their true lover!

Oola, Fra-la-la-la!
Oola,...

Forfaldne hav

En gang
fra havet
kom til mig en dråbe forsigtigt
suk:
- Jeg elsker dig lang tid.
 
Jeg gjorde kun en omfattende gåtur
at se på dig
fordi jeg ikke kunne dø
uden at kigge på dig en gang før,
med min frygt for at miste dig senere.

"Nu møder vi og ser,
             vi...
