Spectrum

And why would I move heaven and earth,

if they surround us?

Why shift this world’s very fibre,

if what you have created is heaven itself?

 

Angels do not sing or play harps, 

nor do clouds encircle us.

We do not have to travel there, 

it is the present, the now.

 

Nothing is lost or adrift, 

A place is found.

No more searching;

Hills and mountains seem only a dream now.

 

One needn’t logic or faith, 

Nor an answer.

Questions can be silent, unspoken.

They will find us.

 

Blackness is light, 

Light, iridescent.

And in this world,

I see this life’s full spectrum.

Letter . 1

A purple sky, a broken mirror. One thousand sunken treasures. Forgotten voyages, lost paradise.

Millions of people, unknown masses. A world incomprehensibly endless. One moon, infinite stars.

Your life, finds mine. Our hearts have time. I see sunrises, storms, calm oceans and I see you.

In this world. Dynamic. Ever changing. So much is lost in time. Lost in earth. Lost in cosmos.

Then there is us. We exist. In the void, in the emptiness. And when all is lost. There is us.

Afterlife

Your soul was there when god created light. When the heavens were put in the sky. When hell was banished beneath us. When land was created to keep us.

You are an ancient divinity no words are worthy to describe. Birthed from light. You are in every fibre of this life’s being- woven into my night.

So, now I bow before you, my love; today, tomorrow, forever. You are in every plane of my existence . My now, my then. This breath and the last. You are my afterlife.

The Road

The road parts into two ways, I know you must take the other.

I can’t bear to take a step in the other direction.

You take my hand a tell me, ‘It will all be okay’.

Then you smile and kiss my eyelids and walk, until I can’t see you anymore.

I hold it in, and as soon as you go my heart breaks into two.

‘No, my darling, stay with me please….’

You can’t hear me anymore.

I face the road ahead of me.

It’s long, it’s empty, it’s dark, I’m scared.

I walk, you will be there at the end.

Until we meet again.

Ci Verdiamo Lassù, Angelo.

If you ever forget how much I love you

There’s this place I know, far from here. We could go? I can take you there, just you and me. Only we can go.

It’s green, it’s violet, it’s yellow, it’s vermilion, it’s colours I cannot name. I’ve dreamt these colours. Haven’t you? Somehow I’ve always known them.

There’s so much light here, but it’s not too bright. Hold my hand, it feels better that way. This way, I want to show you something. I think you’ve seen it before.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful? Do you recognise it now? I knew you would. Whenever you are you feeling lost I’ll take you here. A place only we can go.
