FOR COMICI EMILIO – Poetry, by Antonia Pozzi

PER EMILIO COMICI > Si spalancano laghi di stupore, a sera nei tuoi occhi, fra lumi e suoni. Si aprono lenti fiori di follia, sull’acqua dell’anima, a specchio della grande cima coronata di nuvole. Il tuo sangue che sogna le pietre, è nella stanza, un favoloso silenzio. FOR COMICI EMILIO > Open wide with wonder lakes in the evening in …

LIGHT OF HEART – Poetry, by Nichita Stănescu

LIGHT OF HEART > Fluctuate hours next to your shoulder, blue spheres, and between them there is Saturn. And while they spend, they decrease more evening and night. I do not mind, I’m not sorry for them. How are straight, their passing, almost childlike and gentle, shining in your eyes still. And I forget about them, forget it, too, and …

HERBERT MARSHALL – Poetry, by Edgar Lee Masters

HERBERT MARSHALL > All your sorrow, Louise, and hatred of me, sprang from your delusion that it was wantonness of spirit and contempt of your soul’s rights, which made me turn to Annabelle and forsake you. You really grew to hate me for love of me, because I was your soul’s happiness, formed and tempered, to solve your life for …

BY YOUR EYES ALIGHT – Poetry, by José Martí

POR TUS OJOS ENCENDIDOS > Por tus ojos encendidos, y lo mal puesto de un broche, pensé que estuviste anoche, jugando a juegos prohibidos. Te odié por vil y alevosa: te odié con odio de muerte. Náusea me daba de verte, tan villana y tan hermosa. Y por la escuela que vi, sin aber cómo ni cuándo, sé que estuviste …

NAKED ARE YOU SO SIMPLE – Poetry, by Pablo Neruda

DESNUDA ERES TAN SIMPLE > Desnuda eres tan simple como una de tus manos, lisa, terrestre, mínima, redonda, transparente, tienes líneas de luna, caminos de manzana, desnuda eres delgada como el trigo desnudo. Desnuda eres azul como la noche en Cuba, tienes enredaderas y estrellas en el pelo, desnuda eres enorme y amarilla como el verano en una iglesia de …

SILENTIUM – Poetry, by Fëdor Ivanovič Tjutčev

SILENTIUM Shut up, hide and hidden their own dreams and feelings. That in the depths of your arise, and go into the sunset, silent, like the stars in the night. They split up, thou, and shut up. It may emerge the heart, ever? Another will ever understand you? Deemed of what you live? Thought expressed is already lie. Peat becomes …

SEPTEMBER 12,1966 – Poetry, by Giuseppe Ungaretti

12 SETTEMBRE 1966 > Sei comparsa al portone in un vestito rosso, per dirmi che sei fuoco che consuma e riaccende. Una spina mi ha punto, delle tue rose rosse, perché io succhiassi al dito, come già tuo, il mio sangue. Percorremmo la strada, che lacera il rigoglio della selvaggia altura, ma già da molto tempo io sapevo che, soffrendo …

IN THE SMOKE – Poetry by Eugenio Montale

NEL FUMO > Quante volte t’ho atteso alla stazione nel freddo, nella nebbia. Passeggiavo rosicchiando, comprando giornali innominabili, fumando Giuba poi soppresse dal ministro dei tabacchi, il balordo! Forse un treno sbagliato, un doppione oppure una sottrazione. Scrutavo le carriole dei facchini, se mai ci fosse dentro il tuo bagaglio, e tu dietro, in ritardo. Poi apparivi, ultima.  È un …

SWEET FRIEND, I DO NOT BELIEVE – Poetry by Vladimir Solovyov

SWEET FRIEND, I DO NOT BELIEVE Sweet friend, I do not believe your words, your senses, your eyes, and even to myself. I think only the stars that shine at the top. For a milky path, the stars send me infallible dreams, and in the desert boundless they breed for me heavenly flowers. And in that eternal summer, including those …

I HAVE DREAM OF YOU SO – Poetry, by Robert Desnos

J’AI TANT REVE DE TOI > J’ai tant rêvé de toi, que tu perds ta réalité. Est-il encore temps d’atteindre ce corps vivant et de baiser sur cette bouche la naissance de la voix qui m’est chère? J’ai tant rêvé de toi que mes bras habitués en étreignant ton ombre à se croiser sur ma poitrine ne se plieraient pas …
