POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
For an Italian it is difficult (or impossible) to make poetry in English, I can only try to translate my stuff from my original language, hoping and wishing to improve. I will be above all an enthusiastic reader.
No glory, no light: the coffin closes
...everyone avoid you
but cordially of course
whispering about a patient
affected by a strange disease
something venereum
or whatever annoying
too embarrassing to talk about...]
You will not find job
at the employment office
Only long queues slow
frowning faces
unshaven jaws
and glances lost
An empty eyes employee
will certified your card
Then you go to the bar
the nearest one ...

The dark shading approaches
Do not ask me how I came to this port
I'm lost for decades in the network
Besides its apparent crust
of trendy respectable pastime
Besides Twitter, Facebook, G+
I slipped in his soaked intestines
made of organ trafficking
weapons, drugs and terrorism
I fuck the big brother, I know how
I'll go over... Beyond the Community Manager
C++, Java, Oracle, Unix, Windows, firewals
are just meaningless names to me
I've created my programs

Empty words in a universe filled by emptiness
Satan does not exist until you believe it,
but when you start to believe it...
(Papus)
The same goes for God?
And what about hate?
love, life?
or death?
(I wonder)
In which of these things
you do not believe?
1) Satan
2) God
3) Hate
4) Love
5) Life
6) Death
Please specify the numbers
and fell free
to play to the lottery
If the universe is a gamble
reality is surely an invention
Someone believe in all
If one does not believe
still effected by them
way of being born...
but when you start to believe it...

The warmth of her embrace
She shrivels up
but her brain still shiny
a flower that withers
pure glance of little girl
Cruel and inevitable
the weight of time
crush and warp her bones
increasing my feeling of grief
The unrest for the death is nothing
compared to the vacuum
to the sense of loss
the bewilderment for her departure
A clean slate
my whole family has disappeared
A gust of wind on the dust of time
passed in the hourglass
that pulverizes everything ...

True devotion
Everyone is alone on the heart of earth
pierced by a ray of sun:
and suddenly night falls
(Salvatore Quasimodo)
----
I feel much less alone
less abandoned and desperate
since I belong to you
I Love you in secret, subjugated by the desire
it lead me to an incandescent internal combustion
the burning of this kind are truly painful
but it is sublime to suffer this way
as I do not want, nor can I escape the torment
The manner in which you highlight the word "devotion"
it made me realize how much...

creeping just as pleases you
What a relief
I was loosing breath
and finally a new message from you
Please don't let me in the dark,
not for so much time
Even if I wish yours punishments,
I can't endure this torment
I fell lost without your smile
blind without your light
I am numb without you
life has a reason only when I hear from you
A reduced existence
to the time I read your messages
the intermediate things does not count
and disappears into nothingness
How the internal combustion like?

Where everything is sorrow
...The illusion of a warm light
and then the night falls
where "Everything is sorrow."...]
We try to erase pain
memories fade into oblivion
An invisible force sweeps
entire portions of brain
Cauterize curing dissolving
Pitiful lobotomy of time that rolls
time heals, almost always
almost always ...
I roamed for a long time
lost in confusion
decomposed with feelings
about your demise
Giddy with view of death
claustrophobic...

Defeated mind
As if were haphazard
dawn appeared reassuring
dragging me out
from the curse of an endless night
I laid my head on window
held by dizziness
following the clouds
running crazy in the wind
The leaden sky was gravid
of contaminated rain
but then there was a miracle:
pale rays of sun
escaped for few seconds
through the suffocating blanket
which covered the earth
as a mortuary drape
I followed an idea's glimmer
in search of a nonexistent key
explaining the existence
but the...

Time is a frozen image
...Hands that grab me
and stop my fall
toward a black hole
with no memories
made of torment and pain
and the fog slowly lifts
to recover mental faculties
someone believes in me
a woman to love ...]
The past is
a child looking out the window
that does not follow the lesson
in the school that manufactures gears
a great hatred toward authority
the class struggle
nothing can stop convictions
nor police batons
Nothing seems to ever change
materialism always win
idealists must...

The shadows engulfs the light
The darkness overcomes the light
lower me then in to the frost
of my winter grave
with my soul without answers
I come from a dark place
where a child born dead
in the lacerating silence
of the indifference
and the guilty horror
of a blind humanity
that assassinates a planet
The shadows engulfs the light
because there is no mercy
in who fathered the torment
to this eternal struggle
between light and matter
between good and evil
between love and hate ...
