Memories Of Love 

On a day like this, memories grow tall 

The lyre sounds love songs

There is no stopping 

She gets carried away too 

from the rushing river 

of memories of love 

which incessantly violate 

the hard wall 

of indifferent and unfair everyday life

We are really so close to each other

without an escape route 

one from the other 

which even Spring still envies

the flowering 

of our body, heart, soul 

So many years together 

and we are still running

holding hands 

in the green meadows of happiness 

Not even a grain of sand of our love 

let it fall and disappear 

in the fragile body of a world 

blind and relentless

The Materials

The ingredients of a trip 

in the depths of space 

they always remain indestructible, eternal 

like apocryphal gospels 

that stand the test of time 

and the tests 

They shock with their majestic silence

They are constantly teaching us 

the Unquenchable Truth 

The materials of a course 

at the edges of the Universe 

they always remain full 

words of triumph 

and bright hopes

They transform for our sake

in heavenly Ithaca,

in heavenly Paradises

They give us the keys to infinity 

to invade triumphantly 

in the houses of other worlds 

which wait over us 

heartbreak of sacred passions

and secret history

A Sea Of Light

I have no other clothes 

but only the cloak 

of eternal night 

The uniform of my world course 

it is nothing more than a worn-out garment

full of altered memories 

which I am still ashamed of 

and wear it

Within its overflowing folds 

I hid little seeds from my unripe quests 

I have nothing left 

only the silence of the abyss 

and a crazy dream 

from my child age

For his sake I forgot

my other dreams, strange promises 

irresponsible fools,

supreme pleasures 

which were never fulfilled 

I only harbored an irrational desire

To move away from the undead darkness.

and to dive forever 

in the sea of my inner truth

Remember Me!

Remember me darling!

Now I am leaving for an irreversible journey 

in the endless glaciers 

of eternity 

full of strange feelings,

scattered dreams,

stray desires 

that wail incongruously

I am accompanied by otherworldly faces of altered memories 

of a future I lived 

centuries ago 

Remember me darling

now that they are born in me 

the hopes that one day I will be reborn

in a life I have yet to learn 

to live

Now everything seems to me 

incomprehensible, unknown, distant

but auspicious at the same time

Remember me darling

like a mist of crystal water 

which at some point quenched thirst 

from your dry lips,

like a lusty guilt of passionate love,

like someone's busy day 

of a paradox game

without winners and losers 

Remember me my eternal love!
