A Christmas market, icy cold
where crafts are made both bright and bold.
A spinner lady fills my sight
beside her steaming *** of light.
She spins and dyes her woolen yarn —
and thinks of his spun tales and yarns
that wove her into stitches of laughs
to knit them in the cable craft.
The threads of her past joys now flow
into the yarn that she makes glow.
Inspired by an elderly dreadlocked craftswoman making yarn at a Christmas market in Potsdam.

I found my happiness at Ala Moana
I found my happiness getting lost in the pines
I found my happiness with the trains in Pensacola
I found my happiness stepping rhythms in time
I found my happiness with the wind at 6,000 feet
I found my happiness with the grass as my seat
I found my happiness at the seventh bridge
I found my happiness in the music that I dream
I found my happiness and I let out a sigh
I found my happiness getting lost in her eyes
I found my happiness being encumbered with snow
I found my happiness just waiting to go
I found my happiness in the laugh of an infant
I found my happiness in the smiles of old
I found my happiness in a crowded room
I found my happiness simply thinking alone
I found my happiness standing on my head
I found my happiness as the sun sets red
I found my happiness in a broken heart
I found my happiness was here from the start
I found my happiness without an end
I found my happiness surrounded by friends
I found my happiness knowing I am love
I found my happiness knowing I am
I found my happiness through failure and triumph
I found my happiness with every jump
I found my happiness through arduous endeavors
I found my happiness just being a giver
I found my happiness at the thought of forever
I found my happiness floating down the river
I found my happiness with no reason or rhyme
I found my happiness kissing the sunshine
I found my happiness in the awe of the stars
Although sometimes, I forget where to find it
My happiness is there, wherever I go
I just look deep inside, and it is all that I know

It’s not that I think I don’t deserve happiness, I don’t trust it. There’s a difference.

i will build a yurt            it will satisfy my soul
i will make a short film
i will learn polite society's manner
these things   will satisfy my soul
i will become genuine and plant a bright garden
   and satisfy my soul
i will employ better personal hygiene
   become sexually activated
        and roam the streets aggravated
will i satisfy my soul there ?
raise a flag, have a care ?
i could eat a meal slowly  you know  as an experience
     using mouthfeel skills and detecting it's notes
don’t pay the bill  start a riot  and register to vote
i will - i won't ; do the things
    and rattle my pelt til i am soul sated

Happiness always finds its way back
It never leaves for good
It just goes to find someone else
that needs it more than I do
And then to someone else
And then, in the end
It finds its way back to me
Edoardo Alaimo Dec 2024
Non é l'istruzione
Non sono gli oggetti
A fare un uomo,
Se stesso.

É come vive l'ora,
Cosa fa con gli altri;
Ció che condivide;
L'intenzione con cui lo fa,
La voglia;

La personalitá, il mistero,
la magia, la forza...

Di amare ogni istante
Vivere, amare, capirsi

For many decades, I believed
that selling my heart was worth it.
Without ceremony,
at a bargain price,
to entrust it to better hands.

I believed that the mutual morning
would return with
the first breath.
The first light green tear
will be resurrected under the eyelid -
there is too much loneliness.

It came to light - prayers
will remain unanswered
if anxiety does not find its way,
does not reach
the margin of future.

You dreamed clearly
and to spite my melancholy; I felt
the taste of forbidden words,
the breath of thoughts
that were waiting for
their turn.

You know, I would like to dedicate
to you the remnant of light -
tenderness belongs to
someone else.

Passion? Shame on me
to admit my silence.
Will I find you when one more sip
of life, the last unintentional cry,
has simply faded away?
Will you return to hand me
eternity, again late, again lost?
I found you on the wrong side
of chiaroscuro.
I asked for sleepless raindrops,
so unlike your tears.

I tried to dream the future,
so that the door would remain
open and the window would be barred.

I know that you are
still looking for a way back - dawn
will not compensate you.
Twilight will not give you
forbidden fruits, although your skin
will be rough.

I want to breathe unknown air,
feel a touch so generous
that I will forget the directions
of the world, the amount of tears
I have shed.

You immerse yourself in me,
although I miss my own world so much.
I recognize in you
the tenderness for which I still
talk to the stars,
I am ashamed of the Moon.
Did you know in whose hands
my desolate evenings die?
Do you remember
how painfully
I needed silence, when the crowd
shouted against the sky,
against fruitless hope?

I'm running away from the Earth,
I'm hiding in the attic
of my heart; among the deposits
of dust I find
your fulfilled tears
and my unrequited letters.

I am stuck in longing to the very top
of my soul. I try to erase
fear from a graphomaniac autobiography.
Nostalgia will come back
to draw the stars for you,
to soothe the smile
that is too vast to talk about future.

No one cares about my dawn;
I wake up to find at last
the right hour,
which, within the limits
of patience and forgiveness,
will remain a fulfilled desire.

Will my heart find its way back
to solitude? Will the night be lost
when I admit to
an inappropriate guilt?

Ti bebe GG nan kay la
Li fèt nan bèl mwa mas sa a
Ant sezon ivè ak prentan
Pa te gen okenn nèj sou gazon an
Men, te gen ti boujon toupre letan an
Ak yon nouvo lakansyèl nan lè a.

Ti bebe GG, tout bon, nan kay la
Li te akeyi pa tout fanmi an
Li gen yon souri ki klere tout tan
E deja li gen yon estil ki fen e inik
O! Li fè tout moun fyè e kontan
Anplis de sa, li renmen "Mickey Mouse" ak ti komik.

P.S. Baby GG is my newest granddaughter.
