Lonely Moon
The Moon will shine,Without your smile,But no longer shall it be,A Moon that shines for me,Gone are the days,When you’d just stay,So close, smiling at me.
The Moon is cold,So I am told,And winter’s here for me,When love is gone,There is no Sun,The Moon is all I see.
Oh lonely Moon,...

Snowfall in the Night for Fabrizio Frosini
The snow had just begun to fall, thick snowflakes fallingpast the restaurant window, when you whispered, leaning forward, oblivious to the crowdaround us, when you whispered those words, and the feathery snow kept falling and falling, when you whispered to me alone, you whispered...

This is She
This is she, watchingHer portrait as she used to be,In the moment betweenHer gaze and the mirror
This is she, knowingMe across that distant night,Upon those paths of lightThat traverse she and I
This is she, MagdaMastered fingers spinning spheres,sending harmonies to earsInside, beneath these stones
This is she, list’ningTo silent...

Rondeau: I Am Woman
I am Woman with mindset of steel:
forging wheels on the line in a foundry;
breaking ceilings of glass with no boundaries
in the corporate world making deals.
Treating patients so that they may heal;
teaching students with vigor and zeal;
gaining knowledge both complex and sundry;
I am Woman.
Always humble at heart to...

Nevicata Notturna
«Lasciamo che questa neve leggera cada sui nostriSogni e li faccia risplendere! »
Reso libero,Il tuo respiro leviga cieli irremovibili;La tua percezione gratta realtà ancora non aperte.
È forse un passatempo per pensieri smarriti,Per volti e peccati dimenticati?
Guardando da un’altra parte per paura oImbarazzo, svegliandoti la mattina successiva,Dovrai allora imparareCome mantenere...

Hypocrisy
She’s dressed in black with white high heels,
A designed dress her ways reveals,
She fakes some tears with mini skills,
She hides her face and what she feels.
She wants to say: “I am a saint,
I can’t bear badness, I do faint,
I talk to angels while I paint,
I am suave, fragile and quaint”.
Her...

Autumn Rains
Our lawn is in a state of disrepair; the grass lies dormant, trampled brown; and dead. For only hardy weeds can thrive out here And even those – our urge is to de-head! My neighbour’s patch is brilliant, emerald green. Not for him this gasping, drought struck land. He...

The joy of child care
You rush at me this morn with open arms.I gladly scoop you up and hold you close.A heady mix of soap and fragrant talc;A hint of milk and jam and buttered toast.
Your lips begin to tremble; Mum departs. Another friend arrives, I crouch down low.Transform into a...
