CONCETTA LA PLACA

 

 

Like A Spider's Web

 

A naive reality' blocks,

like a fragile spider's web,

perpetually my innermost thoughts.

It renders, in the name of its objectivity,

 like chimeras, my dreams and desires

 and even my innermost hopes.

It transforms this love of mine

into an evanescent substratum.

Thus, only in the irrational recesses

of my subjective idealism and imagination

I find my only refuge of salvation,

and I embrace you once again.

Concetta La Placa.@t.d.r.

 

I'm Coming, Love.

 

I'm coming out in the rain

to meet you, my love.

Around me,

there is a red of faint lights

and autumn colours.

And, as I walk

I listen to the pattering

of the rain, confused

with that of my heels

and with the accelerated beat

of my heart in love.

Wait for me, I have just left

behind me, our bench.

Soon I will come to you

And it will still be a night

of paradise of love.

(Concetta La Placa@t.d.r.)

         

The Last Smile

 

I know that when I am no longer beautiful,

when I am old and decrepit

and at the end of my life,

you, my love, will still love me

and only me.

And I know, too, that for you

I will not have been a fading star,                              

a last ray that dies in the setting sun,                          

the pale moon winking at dawn.              

Nor will I have been the last smile

that has faded from your lips, love.

But, for sure, I will be your most precious memory.
