I miss myself
Or maybe it is more
That I happen to realise now
What do I actually miss?
Her presence?
Her nonpareil personality?
Did I even value her as a person at all?
Or as a mere object to fulfill my ambitions?
That I do not know.
I just miss
Who I used to be
By her side.

Years ago, my heart was aflutter
Surrounded by endless elation
For I had found a proper inspiration
In the words and actions of an angel
Yet, there was something amiss
Deep inside I knew
That was never to last long
Such a voice on life support
Was silenced, orphaned
As my world went topsy-turvy
One year went by, two even
Until the flame was once again stoked
By the will to pick my shattered pieces
One by one
For like that poet of old
I also strive to be the master of my destiny
And someday I will be the captain of my soul

The soothing sound of bells
in the soft rain
That signal a near end

Have you ever wondered
My dear, fellow soul
How people stride along?
One foot, and another one
Pitter-patter
Some feet stumble
Struggling for balance
Some feet drag
With the tiresomeness of a day well lived
Some feet march
As the arms accompany them in unison
Yet all of them have something in common...
They keep moving on and on.

clouds crying in the dark
As a soothing  melody marks the demise.

Between seven great hills,
Of which Palatine has more importance,
A single city came out from nowhere,
The one that had been called Rome,
The one that would rule everything.
While I was driving,
By the crowded ways,
My eyes could appreciate,
A familiar silhouette,
The amphitheater,
In all its glory,
Shimmering like in past times,
As if it could have never been affected,
By the pass of time,
And so, I stopped my car,
For admiring the landscape,
It is an ideal place,
Full of mysteries,
And beauty everywhere.

Monday, the nineth,
a special day for you,
even when you are not with us,
during this day, I want to thank you
for all the wisdom you gave,
for all the things you taught me,
for all your will and sense of humor
that made me laugh everyday-
consider me, my uncle,
as your living legacy.
I will complete all the things
for which God didn´t let you
enough time.
and tonight,
while i´m holding a candle,
that i´ll light in your memory,
I´ll just whisper to the little flame,
happy birthday, my uncle.
