Darkness

Now that everything is lost
I peril myself through an endless journey
To slay my immortal depression.
Yet I have eyes, ears, hands
And everything someone would want,
I have absolutely nothing. 
Nightmares flow through my thoughts like fire. 
Although they cannot harm 
What's been destroyed 
Or burn what's been blackened,
I am still disturbed.
I wonder what reality is
When that which is real seems so obscure,
Like a dream.
I am in an eternal sleep. 
I am still, for I have nothing to do but be.
If I could ever wake up 
It would be of no use, 

For all I would see is darkness.

Paolo Driussi

Easter Time is Here

Bunnies and butterflies 
Chocolate eggs  
Cute and sweet things 
To soften our hearts 
Rainbows and sunshine 
With joy and laughter 
Brightening our day in every hue 
Of a promise thereafter 
Warming our hearts too 
Bringing cheer and celebration 
Thoughtfulness and care 
A time of remembrance 
And gleeful jubilation 
Spent with family and friends 
Those who know us best and most 
Sharing our love from within 
When Easter Time is here!


Paolo Driussi
