False Friends

Sometimes I remember those last calls. 

And yet I’ll never recall 

The exact value of a false friendship.

Friendship is such a two-faced gift

Paolo Driussi

 

Without you

It's not the same without you.

I am longing for a full moon 

To fill my sky once again.

I miss its soft beams of white flowing outside,

a vibrant hue compared to dreaming.

Oh, but it's not the same without you.

Paolo Driussi

 Sept. 12th

I pick one rose For me, Wishing he were here, The one I held very dear. God took him up to Heaven one day I think of him up there; bow my head to pray.

Paolo Driussi.

 

Watching Fireflies

What’s not to love about a summer day?
Kissed by the sun,
While honeysuckle breezes cool my face.

But when it gets too hot, I seek the shade
Barefoot in clover beneath tall sycamores

In the evening, in the swing, I watch fireflies
Then I fall asleep waiting for another sunrise.

Paolo Driussi
