First Dead Leaves




Falling raining
Splashing sound
The only noise to be found
In the colorless room

His story told through
A swift movement of the hand

But all good things must be
Short and memorable like a song.

Looking back with longing
I hope to find that song once more.

I asked if it was night
and you untied my blindfold
and showed me the day.

The dead leaves around us
contrasted the sky.

Riddles




Why must we be so
Imperfect, shallow beings?

Your meaning evades me,
But I adore you so.
For now I'll watch you.

Lift my heart up,
And send me more riddles.

Paolo Driussi
