AD VITAM REDITVS



"Ad Vitam reditvs”, VDF Publ., New York, 2017
51 Latin elegies and their Engligh and Italian translations
284 pages





I am generated by restlessness

The uninterrupted movement of the seas of Methymna


Tormented

By a continuous thirst

Powered by a rain of ash and copper


The insistent caress

Of a most terse sand

Projects

In opaque light

My features of burned soil

The thin hands smoothed by the sun


Amongst the wind

Virginal trembling

I approach my lips to yours

Livid

Wet of salt


Slowly

You bring to you my body

Now stripped of shadow


Finally free


As a god

After death

I sit behind your eyes of ash



ARID RAIN



SITIS PERPETVA



“Sitis Perpetva”, VDF Publ., New York, 2017
51 Latin elegies and their Engligh and Italian translations
242 pages





The rain

Follows the beat

Of your rhythmic dance


Raises the scent of the soil moved

By your graceful feet


Most fresh water

Soaks your hair

Then flows along their lines

Framing Your trembling visage

Your black eyes

The gentle nose

Your thin lips


Flows down

Along your body

Caresses your small breast

The smooth arms

Your nude back


Takes possession of your light clothes


At last I venture to bring near

My palm

With insecure hands


Still shaken I can not tell you what I feel


Listen


The rain Is already doing it for me



RAIN



a collection of Elegies





I breathe


Purple flower In my hand


Touch me

With lips moist of dew

Sprinkle me with kisses


Sensation of imminent rain

Outlines a pause

In the sigh of existence


Free

Devoid of any decadence

Intangible to time


As an imperfect lover


I breathe



I BREATHE


---------


I was born from eastern seas

From unquietness


Adopted by peoples

Without name


I feel the paleness

Slowly taking possession of my body


Finally free


I caress

The oxidised walls of Mycenae

I see the symbols of eternal decline

I taste their amber wine


I am yours



OBITVS


---------


I sleep alone

In the soft bed

Of white Attalic fabrics


An Ethiopian myrrh burns in the air

Whilst I pour a scent

Of sweetest spices


I listen to the wind speaking of you



You finally came


I have been waiting for you



WAITING FOR YOU



Set the moon

You come back to life


Given up purity finally you come close


Whilst I try to steal a kiss from your thin mouth

Another time you escape

Evanescent vestal


With thin fingers you gently stop my lips

And run away laughing


Come back I beg you

Most lovable virgin


You know where to find me tonight



EVANESCENT VESTAL


---------


I exist since the beginning of time

Before the matter


I am the ire In transformation


The destroyer god

The idol of false



I flatter

Over seas of salt

Ravaged by a primordial violence


Tongues of fire bring an intense rain

That beats the ruins of Megiddo


In an eternal twilight



IRE


---------


I love your hair of violet

Your purest face

Your skin Illuminated by the faint fingers of the moon


I adore your lovable smile

Whilst you tell me

Of the pleasures of your exquisite existence


The lyricism of your verse

Moves in me

A sentiment with no reservations


Unrestrainable



I LOVE





New York City - London - Milan
