TIME AND SPACE





You haunt me in my dreams, like a ghost,
You whisper in my ear luminous words
You flood me with wreaths of light and scent,
Words never spoken.

In my dreams I feel you beside me, so close!
Your embrace lulling me,
It takes me to places never imagined
Unreal places of fantasy.

When I awake I get lost in my memory of you,
I think of you thinking of me,
I see myself reflected in your lost gaze, of light and shadow.
And reality falls upon me, in those moments of awake dream.
Lonely and deserted in this world of reality
Drifting…

But then, you come back to me
I feel your hand on my shoulder,
Protecting me.
And reality no longer suffocates me, because you are with me
And your lips of air keep on whispering
That I am not alone
And you tell me about parallel universes
And how, somewhere in time, we are as close as we are right now
And how in space there is a place for us
And how you traveled to me, in your flight of stars
So that I can also feel you beside me here.
You tell me about our life beyond this world
You tell me that we are together since the beginning of time
Wandering through universes, meeting on the clouds.

And I remember you.
I know I always look for you,
And I know you were always by my side.
Notwithstanding time and distance,
Notwithstanding oblivion and rain.

I can stop searching for you, my soul complete.
I can go on, you with me always,
After your flight through the stars.
Feet in the sand, garlands on my hair.
My heart free, the quest over
Filling the empty well in my soul.

Together, as always, somewhere in time and space.

FAITH





Whenever you look at me
I think I could fall in love with you
Whenever you talk to me
I think I could fall in love with you

Because your stormy, burning eyes
Could melt my ice armour, built with so many tears

And your deep, vibrant voice
Could shatter my armour of ice, the tears falling to the ground
Poisoning the flowers

Whenever you look at me
I might think that you love me

Whenever you talk to me
I might think you’re in love with me

And I will believe it, like a child in Christmas
I’ll believe your every word, defenseless without my armour

You will tell me about those rivers in China you want to show me
And about your life, so empty until you met me
You will tell me about the stars
You will tell me how different they look
Ever since you met me
You will tell me about that hidden place in the Island
That you discovered
And how it will be our haven, and how we’ll go there fighting the waves in our ship of red sails

A love like ours
Nobody knew

And you will tell me about the mountains in Nepal
That time you went there, the wonder
And how we’ll go together, riding the whitest horse, blending in the snow
And you will tell me about the sunsets in Kenya
So bright, so powerful their scent
That would not be the same
When I’ll be there with you
How you thought it was a fantasy, magical, unreal
And it was nothing
Until I was with you

And I will believe you, like a child in Christmas
I’ll believe your every word, defenseless without my armour
When you say you love me

And I will lose myself in you
And there will be only you
And I will see through your eyes, stormy, burning
And I will hear only your voice, deep, vibrant
And there will be nothing else
And I will give you my very self
My every thought will be for you
My only time will be with you
My every breath will come from you

I will believe you
When you tell me there are no longer rivers in China
There is no longer a hidden place in the Island
There are no longer mountains in Nepal
There are no longer sunsets in Kenya
No red sails, no white horses
All vanished, all ashes of a dream that will never be

And I will not see anymore, without your eyes (stormy, burning)
And I will not hear anymore, without your voice (deep, vibrant)
And you’ll give me back my own self, now so empty
And my every thought will be for you
And you’ll be no longer there
My only time will be with you
And you’ll never be there
My only breath will come from you
You only an absence

Do not look at me, my beloved
Do not talk to me, my life
Because I think I could fall in love with you

The unicorn was sleeping






The unicorn was sleeping in his meadow of stars,
Under the sweet moon, the unicorn slept
The grass got embraced him.
Snow, emerald and amber,
The unicorn slept,
His ivory, powerful magic in his meadow of stars
And the moon sweetly rocked him
And the grass tenderly covered him
And the stars in the meadow shone a fair, soft and sleepy light
To accompany him in his sleep,
And a light breeze flew by
And the breeze caressed the unicorn’s foam,
Long mane of foam from unknown seas
And the grass became fluffy under his white, so white velvet
So white, his body of velvet.

And the moon rocked him to make his dream more tender,
A slow, beautiful, gallant sleep
Made of eternity

And the moon wished his dream never ended
The moon wished
It was a never-ending dream, that time could not undo,
Like the fringes of a dream that had never happened,
The moon had hope
She did not want him to wake up from the dream
Snow, emerald, amber and seas
The moon did not want it

But the sun arrived, burning, insistent, hasty,
The sun arrived, threatening, reckless, belligerant
And he claimed his place
As the sun always did

The moon had no power, against the sun
In their eternal battle.
The moon knew she had no power
Against a mass of burning fire that destroyed everything
The moon was peace, and she knew, and she forever knew
That she was moon, she was peace
While was the sun a war.

And the moon, weeping, left her place to the sun
Eternal, hard battle, that she could never win
Watching the sweet unicorn, the moon cried

And to the meadow of stars, arrived the sun, that respected nothing,
The sun that woke the stars, the grass, the breeze, the seas
The sun, that started burning the magic of the velvet,
The foam of the sea
Snow, emerald, amber and sea foam

And the unicorn woke from his slow and sweet dream
And he looked around
And everything was sun and fire
When his lakes the unicorn opened
Lagoons of time, lagoon of dream
Innocent lagoons that time could not corrupt
Blue, shinning, eternal lagoons
That had seen everything
Immaculate innocence that time did not corrupt

And he looked around him
And slowly, the cloud of sleep owned his mind
And he saw himself once more
And he saw white maidens with golden halos
Who approached him, looking for comfort.
Maidens that were allowed to caress his foam
And he saw that knight, that knight shiny in his golden armour
He saw how the knight a thousand dragons slew
With his brilliant spear of justice
And he saw other knights, handsome, valiant, fair
Who fought the evil
Who rescued damsels in distress
Who battled for them
Who adored only them
As you adore a goddess locked in a faraway temple
And he heard that squire, with love woes
Looking for his eternal advice
And he remembered how the squire could reunite with his beloved
His advices of time
Advices that nothing knew about pain or grief
The innocent unicorn never knew about that
And he saw high castles arising from the mountains
And he saw heroes, and he saw maidens, and he saw his friends the fairies
And he saw rainbows and goblins and he saw his beloved
His beloved, his eternal beloved, who wanted to vanish
His beloved, his eternal beloved, who vanished centuries ago
When she knew that the world was world no more, it was Nothing
When she saw that in this Nothing nobody remembered them
When she saw that in this Nothing, nothing were they.


Covered in oblivion, when the world became another
Surrounded by people who believed in nothing
By people who believed that they never existed
That they were nothing but a tale, for the children of Nothing,
For children who believed
For adults who then forgot
And believed in nothing

And the unicorn, white foam, blue lagoons
Wanted to follow his maiden
Wanted to take her path, the path of oblivion
Wanted, with her, eternal her, vanished away
He wanted to go with her to the Forgotten Kingdom
With the fairies, with the goblins
With the white maidens with golden halos
With the handsome fair men
And with that bird they once knew
Who was reborn once and again from his ashes
And with those threatening dragons who kept inside warm hearts
And with the men-horses
And with the scintillating fauns
And with the white horse, who flew so high

But he could not, the unicorn, white foam, blue lagoons
Suffered the worst condemn
To live his life in the world of Nothing
To exist forever, eternal,
Without his beloved
With nothing
In the never ending oblivion of people who did not believe
In the nothingness
And tears of ice fell from his lagoons
And the pool grew at his feet
When the tyrant melted them

But finally the moon came back, triumphant, gleeful, peace
Wishing to envelop him in a happy dream
The unicorn, white foam, blue lagoons
And his meadow was once again a meadow of stars
And the grass was once again a silent haven
And the sweet breeze once again caressed his foam
And the grass became fluffy under his soft velvet
Snow, emerald, amber and seas

The unicorn existed

Sometimes



Sometimes, time flies before our very eyes, carrying on its feathers all the words unsaid.

Sometimes, the past brings us all the lives unlived.

Sometimes, all our broken dreams haunt us in the night, dancing before our closed eyes, piece by piece.

And then, almost always, we wonder who said those words, who lived those lives, who kept those whole dreams.

And then, almost always, we prefer oblivion.

And then, almost always, we say to ourselves that the words unsaid were ours, no one else’s, and that they died in the black pond of the wasted words.

We say to ourselves that the life we live is only ours, and that no one is living the one that was destined only to us, and that all the unlived lives die in a deep and unreachable well (so that nobody can steal them)

And we like to think that the dreams were broken with a hammer made of crystal and tears, and that they could never be whole again.


And we go on living our forgotten life.

THE MISTY TREE



At the feet of the tree, the summer tree, I played
I played when I was a little girl, with other little girls,
Our laughter reached the sky, it was so loud
Our white dresses flied, shinning
Around the summer tree
We took each others hands over the green grass
And around the tree we were a ring, a white ring, in perpetuous movement
Around the summer tree

At the feet of the tree, the night tree, I thought I was an adult
And in the night we met, my friends and me
And at the feet of the tree we talked, and talked, and talked until the sunrise
In our trousers, smoking cigarettes of adults
And knowing line by line every line in our lives
Which we alredy knew
Around the night tree

At the feet of the tree, the sundown tree, I met you
And you were not in any of the lines of my life
Which I so well knew
And it is you I met, at the feet of the sundown tree
And my heart exploded, and my heart was flying
And my heart did not have space in my chest, and went away
Flying with his fire wings, at the feet of the sundown tree
And I caught it and in golden cage I kept it
And to you I gave it, for you to mind it
My heart, that had flied
At the feet of sundown

At the feet of the tree, the twiglight tree, I recognised you
And I saw your glance, looking throught me
And I discovered that I had found myself, finding you
And I thought that nothing knew the poets about love
Because they didn't know mine to you
And at the feet of the twilight tree I gave you all my being
Because it was alredy yours, mine not
At the feet of the twilight tree

At the feet of the tree, the midday tree, I waited for you
I waited while you fed my heart,in its golden cage
I waited for you while you took care of it and made it bloom with roses with your love
And I waited for you and you arrived at last, and I felt my heart bloom, and I felt its fast beating
From strengh
From the strengh of your love
At the feet of the midday tree

At the feet of the tree, the misty tree, you arrived 
And you brought me my cage, with my heart
You were bored of minding it, my heart
You no longer fed it, it did not bloom, it was half alive
My heart
And there you left it
At the feet of the misty tree

At the feet of the tree, the autumn tree, time went by
And I stared, stared the at the path that  brought you to me
But there was just mist
And time went by
And my heart fell to ground, half alive
And time went by
And for an instant, a brief instant, I quit staring the path
And I found a rosebed, in the place where my heart had fell
And it was already not half alive
And roses were more red than colour red
And their fragance was sweeter than the sweetest sweet
And it entered my body
At the feet of the spring tree
