"amari" poems
You told me you loved me,
a cursed lie from the cracked dead lips of a dead one.
You see your words are rotten and putrid,
flys around me like decayed flesh down to my very bones.
Consumed I am now the living dead,
my eyes are blind, my desire is you,
and nothing will stop me til i taste you.
You told me you loved me,
from eyes that are old and weary.
Seen things they shouldn't have,
they are blind to the living.
Exceptional delusional deceiving wonders of light,
in the darkest deepest most terrible night.
You tell me you love me,
from areas of your body you knew never existed before.
I am black and blue from arms that never held me,
from the *** we never had.
I am consummated by love and death,
my virginity laid within your lifeless, blistered hands.
You told me you loved me,
and there are flames in your words.
They lick the very part of me, like paper, i am ash,
Falling through my own fingers, I am death known,
and to myself i wonder, this is really love?
As i watch love destroyed by love.

Sono cresciuto in una terra strana
dopo che hai messo all'ombra la mia luce,
quasi non mossi piede dalla soglia
della mia meraviglia
per il dio nuovo cui tu m'opponevi.
In me cresceva il Dio dei miei domini
(ero ancora ragazzo)
ma tu mi hai rotto l'urlo ai vorticosi
margini della bocca,
l'urlo della potente giovinezza.
Mamma, io ti ringrazio
dalla rigida tomba entro cui siede
il mio pensiero finalmente puro.
Ora vedo che a forza mi hai strappato
il verde degli amari desideri,
mi hai edificato come l'architetto
sapiente che ritoglie chiari miti
dalle antiche macerie.
Nacqui umana rovina come tutti,
tu mi hai intessuta un'ala senza geli...

When flowers blossom and leaves fall
And you hear a beautiful bird call
Emotions start to rise
Like a hot summer breeze
Rushing up with ease
Through the clouds
Around the sun
And back down again
Into my heart, and the next
