MARIA MIRAGLIA

OLD BOY

Many since then

the white winters and

the warm seasons

the rainy days and

mornings with sunshine flooded

whilst life flowed away and

you and me

under starless skies

as attracted  to remote lighthouses

far from each other

conscious or not

went to our destinies

memories of our time together

among school desks and books

seemed lost

hidden by layers of thick fog

secretly woven by the silent time

but nothing is forever

everything returns

with ancient feelings and emotions

your face furrowed with wrinkles now

the color of your hair

no longer the same

but still in your gaze

the penetrating light

of one time

A ROSE

How much intense the purfum

of the red rose

you brought me

last night

You went

it is still here

on the table

where your hand

laid it

Together with its scent

there’s yours  too

and I wasn't

to move it from there

A LEAF

The mild wind tonight

caresses my face

sweetly cuddles me

and I'd be a leaf

let it take me far

on its wings go

through valleys and mountains

cross the oceans

see from a distance

the lights of the houses

the lamps of boats at sea

reach a remote land

to hear the voice of silence

and feel one with the immense
