My Words

My words were meant to sneak inside your heart

And resonate the message I whisper

For you to know what makes me fall apart

But some words are meant to be felt, not explained.

They exist just to exist

For the sake of a tear

I lost while hiding among the trees

One day, It will all be explained

Long after I am gone, 

Untangle my words and talk to them.

They will talk to you.

Paolo Driussi.

 

Back Home

When departing day arrives 

time slows and I face a chasm,

looking back at a life I’d almost forgotten.

Saturday arrives

like an autumn storm beginning with clouds.

Paolo Driussi

 Resolutions

I'll crush the negative thoughts that pull me down

I will brush the black and white dots in vibrant hues,

Descry and espouse every opportunity that comes.

I'll try until my zeal for success blazes bright.

Paolo Driussi

 I’d love to buy a boat and sail the seas

I’d sail from cape to cape, from gulf to strait
A life at sea, beneath large wind filled sails
With peaceful friends, the dolphins and gulls.

 

Paolo Driussi

Yester Years

"Wait until I get back.

I give you something to read".

"Don't be running in and out that door.

Letting the heat out of the kitchen".

"Button your coat better, if you go out.

Have you got money enough?

Don't come back late".

"We'll have pizza for dinner"

Melancholic memories of yester years

Paolo Driussi.

Beware the spell

Nights align

Like in a dream.

I am a wayward soul

On the lonely stroll.

A phantom escape,

A quiet river.

I am afraid  shadows weld

Beware the spell.

Paolo Driussi.

 Uptown Buses

There is no sun, so little hope,

There are no gardens,

But plenty seeds raised to die

In watered sorrows drown.

Buses go uptown

To shiny places,

To uptown people,

Six p.m., afternoon dying

Everything

goes unnoticed by senses dulled,

The day goes down,

Another, and another,

Colored pained refrain.

Paolo Driussi
