Lodigiana Poetess

It feels so small and fragile
the fingers lithe and long.
Translucent skin like gossamer,
a hand once warm and strong.
...

How soon today is yesterday
and tomorrow is today.
It seems that nothing's fixed in life
and soon all fades away.
...

I think love's like a stranger
who beckons at your door..
To let him in will change your life
now and forever more….
...

Starting afresh, eyes awake and squinting in the brilliance of morning sunshine.
Through the anonymity of darkness, sun battles the elements to rise…..
Rise it does!
Through the open window the sound of the morning lark, trumpets a new beginning.
...

We sit alone prepared to feast
no thought to who partakes,
ignoring battles fought within
creating more heartaches
...

I heard it repeating,
that voice in my ear,
and wondered once more
if redemption was near.
...

Say my name - just say it....
roll the sounds around your tongue.
Fashion your lips - to expel the breath-to create the word...
Just once look my way, not in that' just having a look around' way but seek me out...hold my gaze....just for a second..but long enough for me to perceive it..
...

See my face know my heart,
see my fear torn apart.
See my face look at yours,
see your hands the hurt they cause.
...

My love you're a crime scene I've planned from afar,
You don't know it yet..but my darling..you are.
Each morning you wake and lock the bathroom door,
and start humming tunes that I know you adore.
...

When I hit 80 I'll wear pink……
And I won't care what others think,
‘cause I'll be old enough to know
that I'm the boss of me!
...

There's something sublime about nature and time
that repeats till its meaning is clear.
Every night turns to day in the very same way,
every day into weeks, months and years
...

When I feel weighed down with worries
and all the problems of the day surround me,
sometimes I need to stop and remember..
We are as nothing
...

Press your ear to my lips and feel the breath of truth.
You are my only truth, my living breath.
We two are one, creatures of flame and desire,
Ignited by love, fuelled by fervor
...

I did have it once,
a long time ago.
So deep and profound
you never would know
...

I can love and despise in equal measure,
some things I hate, but most give me pleasure
Some days I look great but inside I feel bad,
a smile on my face will hide all the sad.
...

Read and re read the words
forget and consign them,
bury them
where light will never find them
...

Hush you reprobate moon!
Silent in your gleaming judgement.
Casting your silver eye over all beneath you
thou knowing secrets most divine …
...

Most good intentions are resting on the petals of a sunflower
wrestling against the autumn wind and straining to find the sun.
Slowly slipping from their golden platform
and meandering on a gentle thermal,
...

You think me your glass butterfly.
You tell me this, I always cry.
You say you fear I'll fly away,
but if you love me I will stay
...

I have a secret I will share,
I absolutely love footwear.
My closet though
Is far too small,
...
