EMANUELE CILENTI

A Brief Appearance

It wasn't a day

like many

and not even a normal moment

instead it was the sad moment

in which you asked me:

dad, is it true that I'm dying?

I barely held back the tears

drowning them in the pillow

that every day

supported our heads

they always did

heavier.

I answered you abruptly,

almost annoyed,

telling:

it's not true my son,

who told you this

he is a liar and wants

steal your dreams,

the truth is that sometimes God

send angels and give them away

to needy families

some stay that long

to become children

others are just passing through

and return first to the Creator.

And now there have been too many

the gusts of wind

who have invested

this little room

remained empty

causing an echo

deafening, unbearable.

So many grains of dust

that have piled up

on your pillow that every night

embraced your tender nape

as a child he could

discover the world,

that he had to live so long

that you can tell your grandchildren

like a fairytale

before going to sleep.

And now I am left alone with you

this framed photo

that I hold tight to my chest

and that portrays us for the last time

together and happy.

You have a new family

in the sky, with many stars

to be your sisters, so beautiful

to be worthy of the

your beauty and your love.

Like any angel

your appearance

did not last long,

while I, every night,

here, in this house all alone,

I wonder what it could be

the shortest way

to lead me to you.

Live Poetically.

Life is all a poem, the Poet who composed it one day lodges up there in the skies, the moments of existence are like a flow of waters towards the mouth of the sea, the blood traces the direction!

Sometimes we open our eyes but don't see, have we all gone blind? No! Let's not look carefully at the light of the beauty that surrounds us, let's just see everything dark!

Our soul is like a blank sheet, the Creator writes his laws on it with ink so that we no longer lie to ourselves and so that we see the reflections of justice!

Our lives are all lyrics in motion collected in the book of the world which as a title reports: "Life of everyone, existence of nobody's"!

Our eyes are feathers that slide and compose traits and words preserved in the vast encyclopedia of our heart, our speech must always speak of love and passion!

A Shell Raped By The Sea.

With fury and violence, you invest me,

Between slaps of waves

And kicks of waves

You do what you want with me,

While I helpless,

Shaking from the cold,

That only fear can make you feel,

I remain clinging to that rock

Looking for shelter.

Days go by,

The nights go by,

But your hate always invests me

With unprecedented violence.

I cry to my father sun,

I cry to my mother moon,

I cry to my sister stars,

My prayer remains only this:

An inhuman scream and nothing more.

My tears

More salty than the sea I live in,

The soul carried by the wind

That inflates the sails

Of boats of hope,

Too far now to ask for help.

While you with a heart of stone

You insert your metal and your fire

In my flesh,

I bleed to death,

I'm happy to die,

I will wake up and live happy,

You will die damned instead

And away from God!
