guy scutellaro
have you ever seen

moonlight on the lake?

the moon whispering

to the water lilies,

the lilies white as the lace of a bride's gown.

have you ever sat on a log

contemplating the mystery
of a cold and distant romance?

2 hearts
forever longing to,
but not able to embrace

separated by endless night...


...wild birds are singing,

and dawn's sweet chorus
chases away the sad, lonely moon.

have you ever heard the moon
loves the flowing water,

loves the mortal music
of earth-borne water lilies?

Constantly chasing the future,
while clutching the past in my hands.
The present slips through these fingers,
elusive as desert sands.

Can I See?

Oh, I long for the day
When the mirror will show  
And will reflect mine own
I will see a true me
No facades of fakery

Oh, these pieces I carve,
But not a piece of me.
Not a slice of last year,
All a slice for now,
Free of your eyes and mine
I wish I could be better

My back is straight
shoulders back
chin up
but my gaze looks down
I don't owe anyone
but to myself

birds feast on daybreak
worms; threads of song borne from dirt
salvaged as dusk wind

I'm not a cynic
I was a dreamer
Afraid having her wings clipped
So I grabbed the shears
Before someone else could

That doesn't change the fact
That I was made to fly
