REGINA RESTA

REGINA RESTA

I LISTEN TO MY STEPS

I listen to my steps

on the inclined plane of the night

The darkness drips down from the roofs

creating opaque pools.

Life in my chest beats slowly

while time passes

in the tears of a thousand because,

and has no mercy for those who would like to stop.

In the emotion aspect

whispers of sunsets and mirages of new flights

and silence remains the last witness.

THE THOUGHTS MOTIONLESS

The thoughts motionless on my skin

they try on tiptoe

to make your way into your heart

up inside your soul to appropriate yourself

of our infinite desire to live love.

Flashes of light clench their eyes

tell our emotions.

I have arrived to you and

we will continue as blind

without losing the route.

MY JOURNEY

My journey begins when

the contrails of the sea go backwards

and the distant lights come and go.

They are reflected in the sea as golden flows

they plunge into the bottom

while darkness awakens the thought of abandonment.

My path inside the deserted night

it also makes the fear of loneliness disappear

beyond there is nothing, the heart forgets to exist

and gets lost in the foam of the days,

suspended between hope and the need to leave

without ever looking back.
