I, the dreamer …

Summer nights when the evening falls slowly

the sun loses its horizons,

I do not know why a vision appears white

washed in the color of the gold stars.

Then this light, as in a blindness

grabs me in the wings, angels fly

melt me and dissolve me , burgeon clouds!

dying and resuscitating me, endless heaven.

I come to you!

I come to you, as the hope of the new day

as the awake morning the most sunrise of beauty,

as a remembrance, which restores the past,

like a bird, that shakes the wings flight.

I come without knocking,

with the innocence of a flickering soul

light when they lighten the colors of life

the evening, when all the twilights begin their pilgrimage.

Silent nostalgia

The day comes down from other heavens,

endless ribbons coloring

on the somnolent city late in the evening

poured the gates and the lime-trees on the street.

The wind plays with the turbid waves,

the sea crashes altitude

They kiss, quarrel, then become oil

The ultimate lonely game in the last eternity .

History is repeated, written first

other traces remain again

a dress pulled in from the sandpit

a silent nostalgia that awaits and awaits.

***

In the blue of this crystal morning,

after the remote vision I go too far.

This my spruce soul,

It comes to the world around.

Escape from the limit itself

Runing the infinite chastity .

Free spirit in ether,

leaves behind the pain that erodes.

Like lucky flies to the sun,

lured by mystical strangers.

Goes to the meeting with the muse,

In the evening her voice, echoes of her song.

Unfold the wings in the light whiteness

near everlasting, eternity

Repeated

Every evening I look eye to eye with the night.

I am overwhelmed with her tranquility

and forgot,

after the invisible curtains.

Do not forget to collect memories

bring to me those few moments of joy.

Whisper my prayer several times,

then rest, forgive …

In sacred words under the edge

Miss out on tomorrow’s dreams

This sequence is repeated to my nights

again and again …!
