Lost souls and soul mates


Lost souls and soul mates, a puzzle piece and picture
We both need each other, but we’re not the only ones
I came to realize, that nothing’s meant to be
I’ve tried to fit in, but I don’t feel I belong

That night I met you, we both knew it was right
We talked for hours in the driveway at your house
All through the winter, and then, the spring and summer
But, I was gone, long before the fall

     I’ve lived my life, thinking, I’ve done all right
     Each step is better…. Than the one before
     I’ve lived my life, thinking, this path is right
     But, now I’m lost…. And, I don’t know where to go

Lost souls and soul mates, a puzzle piece and picture
So many others are connecting all around
I see the pictures; that they make together
I feel so jealous, but where do I belong

     I’ve lived my life, thinking, I’ve done all right
     Each step is better…. Than the one before
     I’ve lived my life, thinking, this path is right
     But, now I’m lost…. And, I don’t know where to go
~~~~~~~~
Lost souls and soul mates, a puzzle piece and picture
I see your happiness; the color of joy
We talked for hours, but you made it clear to me
Though, you still have feelings
You are now in love with him

Lost souls and soul mates, I thought you were the one
You showed me what it takes, to be the right man
“Don’t try so hard to be, instead look inside”
“You will find the one that’s right”
“But not until its time”


     I’ve lived my life, thinking, I’ve done all right
     Each step was better…. Than the one before
     I’ve lived my life, thinking, this path is right
     And though, we’re not together
     I am still….
     A part, of, your life

The turbulent sea and the fisherman

Image
In the gentle and pleasant bosom of the vast nature The mighty and devouring sea is defiant and turbulent in stature, on this day the continuous flamboyant waves are extremely angry And the people are afraid of such fury. Far away in the deep The fishermen are thinking about their fate, As they are listening the waves' threat; They know they may come back or not, This is always the gravest thought, But this is not the horror of a day Year after year there is no ray.

Ode all’allegria: una poesia di Pablo Neruda

Image
Oggi ti invoco, allegria. Come la terra sei necessaria. Come il fuoco sostieni i focolari. Come il pane sei pura. Come l’acqua d’un fiume sei sonora. Come un’ape Distribuisci miele volando. Allegria, fui un giovane taciturno, credetti che la tua chioma fosse scandalosa. Non era vero, me ne resi conto quando sul mio petto essa si sciolse in cascata. Oggi allegria, incontrata per strada, lontano da ogni libro, accompagnami. Con te voglio andare di casa in casa, voglio andare di gente in gente, di bandiera in bandiera. Tu non appartieni soltanto a me, Andremo sulle isole, sui mari. Andremo nelle miniere, nei boschi. E non soltanto boscaioli solitari, povere lavandaie o spigolosi, augusti tagliapietre, mi riceveranno con i tuoi grappoli, ma i congregati, i riuniti, i sindacati del mare o del legno, i valorosi ragazzi nella loro lotta. Con te per il mondo! Con il mio canto! Con il volo socchiuso della stella, e con la gioia del...

I like for you to be still ......

I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you. It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth. As all things are filled with my soul you emerge from the things, filled with my soul. You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream, and you are like the word Melancholy. I like for you to be still and you seem far away. It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterly cooing like a dove. And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you: Let me come down to be still in your silence. And let me talk to you with your silence that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring. You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations. Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid. I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, distant and full of sorrow as though you had died. One word then, one smile, is enough. And I...
