In this section you can find various poems I wrote in particular moments of my life.

The choice to publish them on this space was hard because the poems are quite personal, but I think they could help somebody else who may have lived my same sensations. Besides, it’s useful for me having some kind of feedback from the reader.

These poems were of help in difficult moments I have lived, and a good way to improve my English. In fact it is not easy writing in a language that is not your mother language and rimes are very difficult to find.

Unfortunately I don’t have the exact writing dates of the poems, but I begun my writing roughly from the summer of 2004.

Have a good reading!

Loneliness - Summer 2004

Loneliness, you don’t realize of her and she’s already there She has long arms to surrond you in a dull embrace turing a clear path into a foggy trace

She can sweep away all my happy thoughts about friends, love, the wolrd iself is now grey

It’s like living in a closed, locked case alone without any grace I loose my hold on reality I have to strain to fight against her brutality But my hands are bare and my force is no more

Wait, I’m not alone there’s the loneliness over me, we talk to each other She’s sitting on her throne She is my beloved, my princess I live with the loneliness

Loneliness, sweet fantasy - Autumn 2004

I could live happy moments with her Not much is required, loneliness, torpor, darkness I can imagine thousands of stories Oh, so sweet fantasy, spare me some company ‘Cos only when you are I’m happy Alone no more

She’s so beautiful, we’re talking to each other, smiling and leading us, hand in hand into foreseen matters I’m fine with her but she isn’t real I woke up in my bed ‘cos she was without the head

Breaking in - Spring 2005

Like lighting in a cloudless sky Like a laugh after a sorrow cry I’ve heard you breaking in

‘Twas a fast moment, not long, not planned A sweet touch and voice and my heart, Clamped You were ruling the game with the impetuousness of impatient child, cheeky as if you knew me for years

Like a sudden flash after ages of darkness Like a thread of hope after despair knitting I’ve felt you breaking in

I fell, not because of weakness not because of your shamelessness I fell because of the whole you

Time will pass, like the light through a glass, future unclear, like a fabric not stoo sheer A single thing I surely know I was living my life and suddenly without warning I’ve heard you breaking in

A piece that doesn’t fit - July 2005

Three weeks ago I begun a puzzle That puzzle was your face I saw it growing every day Your smile coming up pace by pace

And day by day, a simple carton shape a piece from the lot I placed How to figure out where it mate? Then the original hidden fear slowly came up, thin as a spear.

A single hole in the puzzle remained A small piece in the bunch, explained: I realize the uselessness of the game as my hand was holding that small coloured strain

After all, there was no point in trying to fit that strange piece, the last of the heap.

The Art of Waiting - February 2006

I could feel you like my shadow, You were following my steps, Behind me, hiding like a shy child

Explicit invitation can bring emotions, but for how long? Carrying on values can bring strenght, but for how long?

Sufferings between us, two untidy lifes fighting for matching

You demanded something I was not to give, You demanded something I was not to perceive. I will give my prudence to the hurried, My patience to the impulsive, My spirit to the sensual

Ask for discernment, Ask for true Love, Ask for the Art of Waiting.
