Electronic Diving
I go deep into
the womb of my machine
I have the
knowledge
but I don't own
bottomless worlds
of unimaginable
virtual reality
I sink into the
matrix
I am affected
but I'm not
coming out
from the unfaithful
skies
of electronic
reality
I dive into the
matrix
I descend in it
I'm involved
with my digital
image
and my soul's
algorithms
The Salvation
I will leave my
heart
to be seduced by
the sirens of dreams,
from my longing
for a homeland
which was never
given to me
My desires were
forgotten tied to the mast
of bitterness
and unfulfilled
I am a beggar of
calm days of
love and
understanding,
of the one bound
by bonds of compassion
and global
tolerance
But I haven't
slept after my beloved's last kiss
which is now in
the box of timeless time
I am wide awake
waiting to transform
in a butterfly
her soul,
to lift me up on
her wings,
to take me
beyond the pain and the armed conflicts
that weigh like
stones on my fingers,
to be seduced by
the shadow of myself
in the blinding
light of new undead worlds
at the edge of
infinity,
to deliver me
from my earthly passions,
to purify me by
baptizing me
in the holy
water of eternal peace
The Memory
The memory of
peace’s days is sleepless tonight
It’s a eerie,
unscathed, undefined creature
who does not say
to sleep in the layer of oblivion
He knows very
well to paint with hope
the canvas of my
life,
to fill with
sobs my few moments of peace,
to assemble even
temporarily
my fragmented
existence
The memory of times
of love,
understanding, tolerance is vigilant
How it alienates
me from the hours of pain and death!
How quickly it
fills me up
with words and
silences of peace and prosperity
that I lose them
during of my broken days!
How it frees me
from guilt and bitter regrets!
How much it
unites me
with the
familiar, the gentle, the hopeful face
of unity and
solidarity!
He always offers
me purification and forgiveness
for my inhuman
thoughts and actions
But I am a
perishable body, a finite mind,
a lover of
justice and truth
which, however,
cannot escape
from the wars of
his passions
