Carpe Diem

the silver starlight embroidered the murmurs of that river
and he allowed himself to drown within the scent of ripe pears
flooding the air around him…
and while inhaling, he almost felt the threads of the past
knotting themselves in his chest,
memories hidden within the sweetness of the fragrance,
dizzying him like a strong wine…
he kept his breath for a moment…
‘you cannot hold time still…come on…exhale’,
he heard a voice inside him,
and he pushed the air out almost by force,
as if trying in the same time to exorcise his soul
of the remains of what-had-been-and-was-no-more…
‘too much dust in the air tonight’, he told himself,
and in the same moment he killed in the corner of his eye
the shadow of an almost born tear …

Phoenix - Tanka

rising from my heart,
bathing in my soul's ashes,
proud of my fire...
i'm burning words with my thought,
forging new-born cries of hope...

Aftermath

dreamland paved with
moonstones, reflecting
within themselves the dark light of
my nightmares, shelters in
its core the essence of
fear, sweetened only
by some amber-
like glow of the passing of
a summer storm…you see,
lightning isn’t meant
to live forever…and while
i endow the sky with the
ashes left behind by the
touch of your soul on mine,
summoning for a phoenix seems
to be the darkest magic my words
ever did…

Moonlight Angel – Sestina

Your soft and whispered voice ripples sighs
while you seduce me slowly in the night...
I drown my soul into your talking eyes
and leave myself to you...shy rays of light
caress your face, my angel in disguise,
and I surrender in your loving sight...

For what could be more tender than your sight
adoring each and every of my sighs?...
How could I not, my angel in disguise,
accept thy gentle kisses in the night,
when each and every shining drop of light
seems to be born inside your loving eyes?

Tonight I could find Eden in your eyes,
while you caress my skin with just your sight...
I'd simply dip in this embrace of light
of moon rays, and enjoy your tempting sighs...
And while you'd love me leisurely in night,
I'd love you too, my angel in disguise...
 
Oh, come to me, sweet angel in disguise!
Come, let me see the passion in your eyes,
while you possess my yearning soul this night...
Oh, come and open Heaven's doors at sight
with each of my complete enraptured sighs...
And let us step together in the light...

So let this love complete into the light,
and let me see you...drop your sweet disguise
and come fulfill my longing burning sighs!...
Oh, come, my angel! Look into my eyes
and be my dreams' most loved and tender sight,
come make me yours completely forth this night!...

For in your arms alone I’ll spend this night,
while making love 'till sunrise brings its light
upon this sweet enraptured lovers sight!...
So come, my heart! You need no more disguise
to hide away your tender loving eyes,
and proof to that you'll have my morning sighs...

The end of night is nigh...of your disguise
the only thing that's left are your light eyes
and their sight provokes my promised sighs...

Crush - Tanka

words die in my palm
as my eyelids caress them...
frozen seconds mourn...
my soul is drawing answers
out of broken mirrors shards...

Aging - Tanka

autumn’s rusty ghosts
haunt the naked cherry trees – 
memories of fruits...
torpid mists enshroud the sun
with prophecies of winter...

Self-Portrait... - Tanka

light won't reach my eyes...
for where my eyes carry me
light isn't born yet...
i'm only a wanderer
among dry unspoken words...

Loss - Tanka

the sky is crying...
souls, climbing the rain's ladder,
try to find the sun...
grief sweeps slowly with its hand
the eyes of those who still are...

Becoming

…and then the shackles were suddenly broken…
she looked at those shreds of mist that had been chaining her soul,
now lying inert at her feet,
the sweetness of that curse removed,
voices screaming ‘freedom at last!’ within her head,
and for a moment fear dwelled within her heart…
now she had to learn the steps of a new life,
but she could barely stand on her feet…

…then her gaze moved upon him –
he had asked her something…now what was that?...

her name!...

she shook her head slowly, not remembering it,
but she wanted to give him a name…
and letters began to form on her lips…
a…

and sound by sound a new being was born within her…
d…

her soul changing its color…
o…

and then the shape shifting was complete…

and he became hers…

Andromeda was a princess from Greek mythology who, as divine punishment for her mother's
bragging, (the Boast of Cassiopeia) was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster.
She was saved from death by Perseus, her future husband. Her name is the Latinized form of
the Greek ??d??µ?d? (Androméde). The traditional etymology of the name is "to think of a
man," from ????, ??d??? (aner, andrós) "man" combined with µ?d?µa? (medomai) "to think, to
be mindful of."

Lullaby - Tanka

crystal bells tinkling
- waterfalls of silver sounds -
angels painting stars
eyes shutting in loving smiles
innocence falling asleep...
