EMANUELE CILENTI

 

Innocent Blood

 

I was kidnapped

in that disastrous night

flew away

in a fatal way

blood everywhere

is all that remains

I can't find his arms anymore

I can't find his head anymore.

 

Speed, drugs

and mobile phones

the devils driving

they are always idiots

and they tore

wings to my angel

and they will rot forever

in a hell of oblivion.

 

The asphalt picked up

his innocent blood

and carried it

before the Heavenly Father

and all the angels

they wept for my soul

someone stole my daughter.

 

Now she rests

inside a frame

while here on earth

I can not

to give me peace

he left here

its innocent wings

and every night I hold them

strong to me

to hear again

the scent of you.

 

The Sad Melody Of A Farewell

 

I didn't want to write to you

a farewell letter

the words I had to

tell you I have imprinted them

inside every tear

wetting this white handkerchief

that you hold with trembling hands,

ink is writing

that comes from one hand

the tears directly

from my heart.

 

go away, tender nightingale,

this house of ours

for you it was a cage,

your ruffled wings

they taste of sadness and pride,

and while you take flight

from this nest of ours,

which one day housed

our love,

I look at you with my nose

upwards while

from up there you throw me

your last smile

of melancholy

and so it goes

my life too!

 

The Story Of Camilla.

 

She mirrored his face

on my face

like Narcissus

on the nefarious river.

 

He scanned the future

from a crystal ball

faded images

useless mirage.

 

She despised her lovers

their riches

my hand

my caresses.

 

He lived in lust,

in avarice,

in wickedness,

in laziness.

 

He questioned the stars

the wizards

fortune tellers

about his fate.

 

I rejected it

I pushed it away

because she had me

sadly forgotten

 

So she died alone

for the abomination

of those divinations

with crows to do

hoard of her carcass.
