Vale Paradiso
Vale Paradiso
The sea life is blueness caused by monotony
Formica tables and dirty fingernails
as the ship wanders between water vales
climbing to the top of mountainous berg
and sharply falling into a foamy brew
when the storm persists, knowing a small
mishap is fatal, there is nothing one can
do, but hoping the end will be quick
In my ignorance, I

Paradiso
As we search the river’s source,
It jumps the banks of our twisted past,

Zio, Zio, Paradiso
Shining, laughing, running, jumping, dancing.
Golden hills caress the sides of a town hidden from time,
They are witness to the laughing, running, jumping, dancing.
Sin committed, duty abandoned, but blessed with such heaven.
Paradiso where he was running, jumping, dancing.
The gods of young cocky soldiers smiled on him as he truly lived.
A tireless youthful
