The Devil

Oh that devil is a ******,
“Don’t give him a seat at your table” I was told,
Yet he sneaks in by the back door
And before you know it
Lying back in the chair with his feet on the table
And a big fat greasy grin on his face
Surveying the carnage and pain
And all the good work
Unfurling around him
Lying in tatters on the floor.
Oh the gruesome glee emitting from that odious unwelcome bedfellow
As I’m left wretched and in pain and alone once more
On the cold stone floor

Her hair is black
And her eyes are blue
Ay yay ay yay ay!

Now she lives
In Denver too
Ay yay ay yay ay!

And I ask you friend
Since I'm Carolina blue
Do you think saw the movie view?

Maniacal Escape
Please can we leave?
My teeth grind,
People smile with aggressive charm.
Please can we leave?
They laugh maniacly,
At me
Please, can we just leave?
Nah, have another line.
The feather cushion is an interesting distraction.
Fluffy fumbling. Faffy fascination.
There is nothing in nothing.
I get myself there.
There is a love in a love.
You take me affair.

Quando penso a te,
non sei da qualche parte
a ragionare, a patire.
Un occhio, solo, alla luce,
Uno scudo contro mille lance,
In un terreno di battaglia lontano.
Sei qui con me,
E quando ti penso non ** paura
Né angoscia: io ti ** dentro
Quando ti vedo sei sempre come
Mille libri da cui trarre ispirazione.
Dentro di me, rimani il libro più bello
E il solo vederne la copertina
Mi fa stare meglio:
Sei come il sole, splendido dell'orizzonte,
Che diventa mio, al mattino
Sei una brezza di calma e di serenità
Che sfiora il corpo.
Che io sia ovunque,
Ti tengo stretta:
Con te sono piu forte,
Mi sento migliore
Il mondo intero lo sembra
Vi siano tramonti d'autunno,
O temporali e folgore
Sei la mia buona stella,
In questo luogo,
Dove si annega il pensiero,
E le preoccupazioni
Vorrei stare sospeso con te
In questo luogo;
E raccontarti a chiunque
This is what I was. There are many elements to this poem which are interesting.

First of all. The idea of "what is the idea I have of you" vs "what is the truth of you". Bringing an element of Le Chatelier principle: for me, when I think About you, you are not alone fighting a war, because in reality you are here with me.

This is clearly contradictory to reality. And it is a dream. Because when you are fighting you are alone. The hope of these sentences is to "bring an idea": for me you are not alone, so maybe you are not thinking you are alone.

This idea is Carried throughout the whole poem. Especially the "you are my breeze of calm and serenity". It is all about myself. It has nothing to do with you.. I myself feel calm when I think about you.

I myself feel tranquil and feel like talking about you to anybody.  But that is me. Not you.

I think the best continuation to this poem is "Colours'.

my heart won’t let my mind
forget, that beautiful stillness
when we met

I questioned if it was really
there, it’s still with me after
all these years

always strongest when I’m
calm, seamlessly flowing
through my palms

I breathe it in and carry-on
