Long Left too soon Poems

Judge Daniele Saggio

This year of our salvation, sixteen twelve.
Now.  Gentileschi? Don Orazio?
This suit is yours.  You’d press it?  Drop it?  Shelve

it?  Very good.  And you are Tazzio?
Beg pardon, Tassi....

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
YOU LEFT ME ALL ALONE,
DID YOU THINK I’D FEEL SET FREE?
LIKE A SUDDEN DISAPPEARING STAR, 
YOU JUST LEFT EARTH,

Season of death plays her melancholic tune,
tragedy portrayed through a chorus of birds.

trying to pick up...

We lived in a small room
Near the river
Ammi and I
She said she wasn’t pretty
I can’t imagine of anything
More graceful than her

Red beams of neon outlining us
Red and black intertwining
Intervening
The red thread is still tied to
Our little fingers
Questions were never asked
Nor was anything mentioned
Where can we sell our souls
For a student affordable price
They know where
The shrill...

Complaining about my muddy boots and the state I’ve left it in.

Half covered by the...

There's blood on my pillow because my nightmares became real
My demons came to life while I slept
Forcing me to wake up in cold sweats
Tears coming from my eyes, but they're something I can't feel

THE PRICE OF BLOOD FOR A NEW NIGERIA

Fist outstretched towards the sky,
Flags lifted high to reveal my course.
Ask your mothers why your fathers died,
why their sisters and brothers levelled on the streets;
They'll recount how the...

i don't really understand
and i cannot comprehend
what you're saying isn't coming through
why won't you take my hand?
 
but no,
you're too good for that anyway.
why are you still trying to play?
why can't you just go away?

Southside Sunset
Poverty stricken pink, purple, orange incognito 
After chasing down the poor paleta man and taking his stock of Paletas de Limon
The Fantastic Four, always together

And left me,
“Stupid Girl”

So she grabbed the remote control pressed mute so I could hear
She had a sad look on her face...

So depressed I had to flee
I ignored you when you said you were sad
I didn’t know your life was that bad
Wishing I could see you,...

Adieu Michel, adieu the great gem

An icon bore when the wind stood still

As I waved this emotional hands in fear, 

My tears hung in the mid air

And the gravitation could not pull it down.

Full of Gods love and blessing in my life

When pain was still filled with wonder
And wonder was of amazement
Amazement turned to Grace
And your blessing...
