The truth is urgente !
Rooms with a view
in this dark world
where every pain
it is a humanitarian crime
spit of human hatred
on innocent lives.
The truth is urgent
inside this theatrical drama
faith is somewhat desperate
and also people’s lives
flesh torn from the eyes
in the silence of the earth.
Divine Souls
We kissed
like the sun and the moon
today inside the universe
and in this eternal dance
between fire and sky
between stars and clouds
the embrace of love
it became eclipse.
This big kiss
burning with love
it warmed lives and hearts
and it is said that
the divine souls
in all their internal pain
then they will rise again like flowers
on full moon nights.
Sun and moon
We are suspended planets
we are the roots of the universe
the eternal that rotates
the primordial song
the ways of the stars
we are life
we are the sun and the moon.
Around us
there is the sky there is everything
and in sidereal silence
we are the night
we are the day
it’s always us
the eternal cosmic stars.
We are the most beautiful destinations
the verses that are difficult to reach
we are never close
our every desire
it is a precious source
poetic inspiration.
All of you humanity
watch over our future
about our evolution
on our rhythms
and on our eternal journey
within this universe.
No winner !
Difficult time
but it’s not the end
it is divided into a thousand streams
the path of the world
along with the worst
war also arrives
we are close to evil.
Not the ones
nor the others
no winner
we will all be defeated
every corner of the earth
it will drip blood
and death will be in the streets.
Scent of beauty
You moon
moon you
silent star
immortal breath
eternal anchor
changing light
feminine mirror.
You moon tell me
scent of beauty
lovely bride
who breathes in your eyes
and in what desire
on nights without stars
your kisses are red roses.
How many hypocrisies
How many faces
humanity
see reflections
in the mirror
of your days
of daily life
in this theatrical drama
inside the streets
uncertain about life.
How many hypocrisies
mixed with the truths
and how much out of tune music
filled with notes
played by masks
without conscience
and dignity under your feet
humanity
you have listened so far.
From an imaginary dialogue,
described by me, between Mahatma Ghandi and a little man.
Tell me about you, about your world,
of all your knowledge,
and of everything that is in you:
infinite wisdom?
This was asked of Ghandi
from a little man who wanted to know, know, learn
by the Mahatma, during one of his
public speaking.
Ghandi replied:
search within yourself man,
what you look for in others!
The little man, then, after listening to him and nodding, replied:
great Mahatma, this means that every man must search within himself
really what he has always been looking for,
and never try to apologize to his own ego, because, otherwise by doing so, it will surely happen that the shadow of his own real intentions, then, projected outward,
at the end of the internal torment:
would darken all hope
and every thought too!
Again, the little man,
at which point he asked another question
to Maestro Ghandi:
Master, what’s left
of truth and right in humanity, often deprived and even deprived of desire
to live in Peace?
The great Mahatma Ghandi,
he didn’t answer immediately, he made a very long pause, and then said:
see little man, between your question
and my response you will surely have noticed that some time has passed?
Certainly, – Ghandi continued to say -,
this deep pause is not usual in a conversation between two people,
and this is due to:
to my being, inside.
We live, – added Ghandi -,
in the ways of truth, serenely traveled in the incessant river of life, which, with its impetuous currents could drag anyone, among the waters of the seas, within the sea:
so different from the noises and the waters of a river that flows rhythmically down the valley, and without rushing to reach the depths of the sea!
It was after this answer that the little man jumped on the spot, shouting: yesssss Master, now I understand why, the reason why man, humanity, no longer desires Peace
and they live in terror and darkness!
Master I understood that, the river and the sea have mixed, without bringing with them, within them, what has always been the only way
for Peace, or:the dialogue between the different, the brotherhood between the opposites, the welcoming of every noise and every colour, of the rivers and the seas, which already existed in nature, before the life of men!
