TO BRING BACK HIS INNAMORATA



 

Sighs and cries

 

Fill his silent room. His

 

Soul tires of soaring

 

Into the vast nothingness

 

Of his impeccable dream. Could there

 

be light, to illumine his way

 

back into the arms

 

Of his beloved, *Innamorata?

 

Can the moon serenade the beautiful melody

 

of her voice, the most salient

 

music of his being? Or is it still

 

the quietness that reigns... Her face

 

Concealed by towering mountains and surging

 

seas, a million miles in between them.

 

Innamorata, his thoughts

 

Derailed by his longing to feel her hands

 

once again and the times that speak

 

so much of their great love….

 

Could the angels pursue him

 

in his dreams when he ran through the cliffs

 

and called upon her name,

 

but beguiled by petals

 

falling off in winter breeze, the smooth

 

crackling of fire amidst the stones. There

 

may be torches from afar, flaming red

 

but no trace of his beloved,

 

innamorata. Only the fading wind

 

Of the night, so dark...her memory

 

but a shadow in solitude. Too sad, time

 

Is even powerless to bring her back.
