At the mercy of doubt
“Most pioneers are at the mercy of doubt at the beginning, whether of their worth, of their theories, or of the whole enigmatic field in which they labour."
Richard Hamblyn
<><>
I begin this day
and every day!
mercifully
in doubt.
and
in
no doubt
my stasis is this
duality!
that my place on earth,
from the creation of my birth
to its re-creation this day
when these very words I script,
my purposed dual lives
are to doubt
the possibilities of,
and yet,
no doubt!
to attempt to uncover
new combinations of words
for the pleasuring of others
for what could ever be
a greater pleasure
than that?

when do you know you have sold your soul to the devil?
is it done over years of giving in?
is it a signed contract that invokes moral order?
who is the moral leader?
who is in charge?
when you meet the devil at the crossroads,
which crossroad is it?
was it really the devil or just a conman in a zoot suit?
oily facades placate me in such a way
as to minimize my concerns for living;
thriving.
when you sell your soul to the devil,
do you remember?
or is that part of the deal; to forget?

Dove sorge il sole
Masi Roberto © 2025
Dove sorge il sole,
nasce ogni giorno un cammino nuovo.
La luce sfiora la terra
come una mano antica
che ricorda agli uomini
che nulla è perduto davvero.
Nel silenzio dell’alba,
quando il cielo respira piano,
lo spirito trova il suo nome
e il cuore si rimette in viaggio.
Dove sorge il sole,
anche l’anima ferita
ritrova la forza
di aprire gli occhi,
camminare
e ricominciare il suo cammino.

🇮🇹 Raggio di sole sulla neve
Un raggio di sole sulla neve è un abbraccio che il cielo ci regala.
Ogni goccia di luce è un ricordo,
ogni cristallo è una speranza che brilla.
Eppure, nel silenzio della neve,
ascolto il battito di un cuore lontano.
E so che, anche nella solitudine,
c’è sempre un raggio di sole che ci riscalda.

🇬🇧 Ray of Sun on the Snow
A ray of sun upon the snow
is an embrace the sky gives us.
Each drop of light is a memory,
each crystal a shining hope.
Yet, within the silence of the snow,
I hear the heartbeat of a distant soul.
And I know that, even in solitude,
there is always a ray of sun that warms us.

🇮🇹 Primi raggi
I primi raggi di sole carezzano la terra,
un bacio di luce che scivola sul volto.
Nel risveglio, c’è una promessa
di giorni che sanno di cielo e di mare.
Ogni passo che facciamo è più vicino,
più vicino alla bellezza che ci attende.
E nei primi raggi, trovo il mio cammino,
un cammino che mi porta sempre da te.

🇬🇧 First Rays
The first rays of the sun caress the earth,
a kiss of light that glides across the face.
In awakening, there is a promise
of days that smell of sky and sea.
Every step we take draws us nearer,
nearer to the beauty that awaits us.
And in those first rays, I find my path—
a path that always leads me back to you.

🇮🇹
Chi mi dice che ascolto?
Chi mi dice che parlo?
Chi mi dice che sono?
Non è la voce a dichiararlo,
non è il silenzio a confermarlo.
È il vento che scivola tra le foglie,
è il respiro che accarezza la vita.
Se tu ascoltassi davvero il vento,
sentiresti che io non appartengo
a un luogo soltanto,
ma sono ovunque:
nell’attimo che fugge,
nella luce che nasce,
nel cuore che si apre.
Io sono,
semplicemente,
nell’invisibile che ci unisce.

Who says that I listen?
Who says that I speak?
Who says that I am?
It is not the voice that proclaims it,
nor silence that confirms it.
It is the wind flowing through the leaves,
the breath caressing life.
If you truly listened to the wind,
you would feel that I do not belong
to just one place,
but I am everywhere:
in the fleeting moment,
in the rising light,
in the heart that opens.
I am,
simply,
in the unseen that binds us.

Silver Beach: Always the Sole First
familiar white fishing boat, up with early light,
seeking sustenance and pleasure in = measure,
anchored ‘bout quarter mile east of my under-the-coverlet,
(of course! as the crow, raven or scavenging osprey flies),
it’s precise location amazingly exact, but alas, soon daily
familiarity breeds no secrecy, and now joined by a
farther out, smaller version, a compatriot in spotitude,
of the best spots for harvesting the early running
brackish bay water favorites, striped or black sea bass
what persistent fortitude these fisher-peoples display,
early to rise, first to depart, when others crowd its “spot,”
(amazed by its knowing precision the exactitude of “spot”)
this ship, always the sole-first, invokes a first poem of the day,
always a soul-first, an unburdening of deepest gratitude that
one more day granted me to imbibe this vista, awake to its
soothing silent heavenly serenity, absent machine or
electronic interference with my delicate sleepy wakefulness,
when newly minted words come into my mind, my
secret spot

There is always Orpheus, where there is a song,
There are always veins, where there is love,
And they are always bursting with so much grief,
Pero il cielo è sempre piu blu quando sono con te.
Dio is an enveloping death, nature consumes and embraces,
Inertia, an ally among us there, the smile of an ending here,
But all endings, always ora, orbiting our feigned vita,
Ma, il vero sole esce per giocare, solo alla fine.

Jealousy is a very damaging
emotion. My family all dead
by jealous men and women
I avoid jealous people.
I was furious with your
call girl jealousy stunt card.
just not to tears with
a woman crawling to you!.
You deserve much better.
You deserved me.
Loving you eternally.
As for your heart diamond ring
promised for my tears
hiding in your coat pocket!
I can't cry in jealousies for it.
Couldn't you bend your knee
To put it on my finger?
O it wasn't in the script!
I meant asking you to though,
In the pre nuptial agreement.
Sorry I didn't bleed for that too.
Now look here eons later.
See my lifeline roped in sadness.
The trails of graves lined up
My many loved ones buried.
Our children never born then.
You left without asking!
But only misery and pain
I found.
Jealousy greed malice
butcher human predators
were deadly treasure thieves too.
Butchers, twisted in laws
Childless Jealous baby snatchers.
As for Angelina ASG-BBA
and JPC- RDD
Lost and found,
groom sat bride me free.
"If you love someone,
very much, set beloved free
If dear one returnd
Is all yours, if not,
loved one never was."
We both missed our mark.
but darling beloved
Don't leave empty handed
Take me with you.
Take everything it's yours.
It belongs in your real world.
Take that old grassy hill dear one.
Those many treasures you buried,
left for me to harvest;
Script and all.
Take my children too.
I won't miss them
Not if you have them.
You are the best father
Best friend best teacher.
Best ghost companion to me.
Take my heart my brain too
my courage along
I need them not here in hell,
this unreal cursed world.
Physically alone.
Nothing makes sense here
You kept me company
all through this years
I understand you now
my misfortune is loving you.
Your promise my company.
"We'll always be together."
Twin flame souls.

There is so much
want in me
sometimes it's scary.
It becomes---
a hole I cannot fill.
Giving birth to
a whole other person
that I can not please.
Bound up in anxiety
then left outside myself
to freeze.

I led a loveless life for three days,
Found the edge of a shoe
That I took to be God
Turned towards it
And under the sole I returned.

Where the sea kisses the land,
And Luna and Sole coincide,
Between them is a fine, fine, line,
They walk both sides of it,
Love and Hope,
In pure gold dance in diamonds and step in sunshine,
Love holds his hand showing a world to behold,
Their ambiance intoxic worth dying for it,
He could waste his youth forever,
Chasing kites, he finds no better time,
Lets them rub his back, grow in his spine,
Dancing to his own beat, two left feet,
Hope covers his eyes in the heat,
He looks back into the divide,
Where the sea kisses the land,
And Luna and Sole coincide,
There it is again, caressing his chest,
That feeling- it flows like the wind,
He sees Love elegantly dressed alone,
By the cliff-side, wanting to meet the high-tide,
Something broke, and he wanted home,
Chasing Love he screamed and wailed,
Begged her stop, she seemed so very far,
He couldn't stop her despite how he tried,
He couldn't believe it, is it true;
That some feelings can travel too?
So he watched Love meet the sea,
A silver bullet piercing the murky blue,
A shred of light glimmers in depravity,
Prayed for salvation or divine retribution,
For someone to find his center of gravity,
Maybe in the murky blue he'll find absolution,
Maybe in depravity there is the solution,
Maybe amongst the pollution and the convolution there is revolution.

Dispell all fears
By writing them on rounded rocks
By crushing your own selfish doubt
And walking on the pieces beneath
Until the uncertainty stops
This is how you change the eyes
First you change the mind abrupt

You're going to hate me maybe
Or you'll try to ignore what you see:
Us being atracted and talking free.
Are you scared of what might happen?
Rather than that you should suffer
Every moment that you haven't done.
Speak your mind 'cus you know me.
Please, don't fear my words and be
Everything that i need in this life to see.
Certain it is that I might be addicted
It's your choice what you're believing
And your soul is yours to bring
Leaving it in my hands to stop aching.
Reading the first letter of each is a key
To know what you really are for me.

Dost thee care for it which belongest not to you ?
Dost thee care for them who walk on wreckage as thou didst?
Why are the words misconstrued?
Why is the truth hard to you?
Ever that thou sowest
When yieldest the possibility of lowest
Measure thine life's circumference
Since thou revolvest most near the dark
Often it be the most absorbed
How thou mess with a mere sector
Yet the most of it collapsest
Sweating in the smoke to keep going
It requirest lest of a hope
Thee who dost not hear the screams
Cannot hear the sayings

Tiptoe to the moon you wanderlust sole
Fetch the cobbler from beyond the green knoll
For I'm in need of mending this black hole
Rain down on me stardust, repair my soul
Put stars in my celestial insole
Fill this galaxy with light and resoul.

Listen to me carefully.
Bees won't die necessarily.
The flowers will stand up straight.
Everyone can be in a good state.
Stars will continue to shine.
The universe will be fine.
So will the whole of you.
Mistakes will be few.
Miss nothing but your sole.
Nothing worse than losing control.
Treat every ounce of your body.
Life will stay rocky.

I offer myself as bait to those who eat souls for breakfast.
I offer myself as a toy to those who want to kick me.
I offer my soul to those who need new soles on their shoes because my soul is the most immune to physical abuse, with a soft heart acting as a comfortable cushion to stomp on.

Years from then and you’re still in the doorway
One hand in your pocket and the other on the frame
Though shadows, they refuse to be stored away
Vivid to the clothes on the ground, everything’s the same
You hurt someone you loved and couldn’t see it
In the mindset of forever you forgot to live for now
The moment things came crashing down you couldn’t believe it
You kept asking yourself how
How do I live without her here, how do I go on?
Why should I pretend to be happy and fine when I’m dying inside?
You spiral down into dreams, into an abyss of fault, you’re gone
Nothing can dig you from this grave, dug in full stride
The snapping of a bird awakens you from your despair
Mystified by the room you roll to your left and cry
Struck by your reality like the warmth of a shimmering glare
There is no reason to live without her, just another reason to die.

Da te, posso vedere il sole
I segreti dell'amore nascosto
Dormono sotto le palpebre
Perciò raccogliono le folle
Durante la nottata
Mi segue il tuo spirito
Sebbene l'amore non è un diritto
La tua voce sempre è ascoltata
Detto questo non vedo occhi tuoi
Apri gli occhi per chiunque puoi
Perché mi manchi molto
Purtroppo sei sepolto.

If you read it from the big black book it's
"True," not just for you, for me for everybody,
We're all just here to waste, make our own sole filthy space,
What you believe is always "truth for everyone" and not just you.
No matter what we say or think or feel or know or do.
