THIS ENDLESS NIGHT

Every day a painful fight, Praying for dawn to heal the night. Hope surrenders in this endless night, Where stars refuse to gleam. Morning's peace remains a distant feat. Paolo Driussi

 IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY

Time is fleeting

So are your memories

It seems like yesterday

Now everything feels so hollow

Oh, where did you go?

Please don't forget me.

Paolo Driussi

 FEBRUARY SNOW

Not ready to leave the recently born memories,

I let the silence fill the room and it becomes a song.

This room is filled with the whispers of snow upon the sill,

unspoken words and a kiss that still melts inside me.

Paolo Driussi

US

There's something between us that only I can see.

Something or someone I don't know which it can be.

They say the truth will always set someone free.

But the truth of the matter is, I can't see me without you.

Paolo Driussi

 ALL IS FORGOTTEN

The windows of the old house are no longer lit,

But its garden still bequeaths its brightest flowers.

A child’s old swing sways gently by the wind.

The ancient well gives off its water clear,

To fill the bowl.

And in the small round pond you hear frogs in courtship.

Paolo Driussi

WINTER SEEMS TO BE HERE SOON

The sunset light peeped through the woods, As I walked on alone. Under the torchlight of the crescent moon, The fog dissipated, This time around winter seems to be here soon.

Paolo Driussi

 

Heavy Rain

It was raining....

It started on a winter night,

The pelting of drops against a window pane.

The wind blew and swirled,

I was listening with an intensity never known before,

My senses attuned to the sounds and madness,

I was hearing the wrath of mother nature at her angriest.

Paolo Driussi
