Forgetting to forget, the sorrows of time
Amongst the trees watch the butterfly fly
Oh! to long for that which I have not
To not yield when all is distraught.
You wish to change fate
Whose path so intricate and yet so mundane
Like a river, it moves it swirls, angles and in the end, does stop
Invisible strings entwined as is Nona’s art

Husband pens his love
After one year of marriage
Proud to be your spouse
Partner in deepest spirit
Yesterday and tomorrow
Blessings of a happy home
Irresponsible poet
Responsible Nona May
Turned it all around
Horizons unbound
Dancing through the galaxy
Astronomical glitter
Yearning to be creative
Never giving up on you
On this very special day
Notions of passionate love
Anon and henceforth
Merrily we sing
Astral connectivity
You and me both bless'd

venice seemed a bit
moving today i'd wondered
over genova's coast
hardly a peek over masone's
entrance father was beneath himself
filled with bitter rage
it appeared my fetish for clark's
trouser's boosted family morale
i'd covered this endless romance
several months now
keeping watch over
my grandmother's
crest of identity a sullen logo
that read milan descending
aimously into corleone valley
weathered so cringing almost
with thee farewell findings
omerta standing in view
silence emerged an yet
i could only whisper his name
within this tiny village how different
we were how divided on appian way
our ancestor's balanced seperation
segrgation among italian
hemesphrere who am i now
thee darkest bella
red pellerosa apo new york
