MY NAME IS NOBODY


Welcome invisible
give your farwell
to the platform of the fame
nobody will listen to you
neither your best friend
the scream.
Welcome to the world of nothingness
where the humming machines
have more voice than yours.
Welcome to those
who wanted to listen
but they born deaf.
Welcome to those that wanted to see
but they born blind.
Welcome to all those phantoms
that creeping and cry
but are not able to fly.
Welcome to all the scum
that the world is giving you for sale
nobody will be interested on your tale.
I welcome you all
with the smile on my face.
My name is Nobody
and my voice is unhearable.

TAITEIDEN YÖ

Hallo to everybody!
As you knew I have had a reading at the Taiteiden Yö in Hämeenlinna, last friday .
The reading went well, I was, of course, excited because the hometown is always the hometown, so the pressure was high but, all went well although the timetables were not that suitable.
As the name tell it was meant to be "the night of the arts", but our reading starts at 15.30 and many people that were interested to come to hear us, were still working. I have get many emails in which many told me to be sorry to have been not be able to come because they were still at work and was a little shame that our reading was that earlier.

But, beside this, I was happy to be part of it, I have met beautyful people and other artits that like me are strangers in this strange land and quite often, especially in this town, quite invisible, we had quite interesting talking after the readings and..let's see if the talking will turn into something real and concrete.

What I have noticed and some of the audience too, was that many adults,the audience of the guests that were before us, were quite noisy when they left, well is true..for me that I was the first to read and open our readings felt like a lack of respect, not because I feel to be the best of the best, but just because they were quite unrespectful to leave the room talking , laughing and moving the chairs while a person ( in that case was me) was introducing our "space" and read my works.
But it was a start, I don't want to spoil this experience because it was anyway a good one, and a learning one.

The next happening will be the Kirja Messu in Turku, for me the 6th of October at 15.30 with Runokohtaus. I will update the happening as soon as I get the final info with the program.

See you next time!

LOVE, PREJUDICE...AND PRIDE

Is true, we were meant to find each others

and this took me by surpraise,

and how unfair were the eyes,

when they laid thy sight into each others,

and unfair became then the fate.

As I stepped backward

I realized what I couldn't ignored

and what has  frightened me, even more.

I compelled myself

to stay in the shadows

there for you, and you only

waiting to be  found again

now that I am aware

that the beauty was not what divided

but the fear, the prejudice and the  pride.

KNOWING NOT....

The first time my eyes met yours

everything of you was charming

your eyes, your sight your smile

then I saw how the pain changed you

I saw no more that light

and I miss it so much.

Your lips are smiling

but your eyes are showing

what lie beneath that smile

only to those that are capable

to understand, the pain of the soul.

I realized how deep

this love has grown

knowing not

it could be that painful

knowing not

if it will stop growing someday

knowing not

if you are passing on this way

knowing only

nothing will change anyway.

CHANGES

Hallo to everybody!
This is a period of changes, and like every change there is the bad side and the good side of it.

I have to decide if I will add in this blog also my personal things and xperiences, because of course I don't write everyday poems or stories so, to make this blog work better I should add something else and why not more personal things? So you readers will get to know me better, but we'll see...

For the moment I can say to you that I am getting very interested in tarots reading and I found a wonderful deck that I love so much and I am learning...

Artistically, the big day is approaching: my first reading in my hometown, Hämeenlinna, for the night of the art.
I will be from 15.30 to 16.30 at the main library, with others 2 poets, we will have all 20 minutes each and I will be the first; come to listen  and to say me hallo!

For more informations you can read HERE there is also english language.

The whole program you find in HERE and it is only in finnish language.

WELCOME AND SEE YOU THERE!!!

DREAMS ARE THE FALLEN ANGELS' WINGS

I have been dashed

onto a long journey

and exhausted I fell

thinking all my dreams have died.

Suddenly I was lift up

when I couldn't neither crawl.

Your soft touch became stronger

and your voice whispered

”never give up on your dreams

they are your wings

spread them wide

against the fear,

you never know when illusions become real”

I knew you were there

in some kind of shape

I needed to find and recognize you.

THE MIRROR

*(part.2: am I dreaming or am I awake?)


The mirror was there

and as I approached, it sucked me.

I whirled like in a black hole

leaving behind me, only pale reflections.

Willing prey of this untamed dream

longing, for more to achieve.

Right there you were 

the tainted dreamer

you called me knowing

I was the eternal seeker.

The darkness faded

everything has changed with the slight movement of my face

leaving me wondering

if we waere trapped in the same,complex structure

or if I was meant to be only

the silent watcher.

THE LAST CRUISE

The light was fading

and the darkness surrounded me

lost and lonely

my soul was in chain

in what this body contained

looking at the empty shrine, invain.


Death also surrounded me

with hundred of souls

coming back from the journay

where the final stop was

the boat with Charon at its wheel:

the last cruise begin.

Tears of loss, tears of pain,

the silent scream, the final hail.

HOVERER

Is one of those periods

in which I don't know

where I belong
 
so I try to fix everything beside myself.

I turn off the lights

in searching for your shadow

you are not there to confort me this time

I am with myself

fighting with my feelings

loosing again

while tears are falling from my eyes.

I would like to say  to you sorry

sorry because one time I hated you

and now I am crying reading at your words
 
cradled, hovered in this hurricane of chords
 
whipped from what have always scared me most.
 
In late again I have lost the chance

and have to wait the train to pass again on my way

counting the years in every single tear.

DREAM

Your soul was attached at you with every single cell
and at the universe with every single atom.
You were singing or maybe screaming
the invisible pain that you are carrying
It was a bright light that it diffused
but it has a worried sight on you
like one of those celestial beings
that try to talk unheard.
You look strong as much as weak
and as fast as the light moved
I realized I was looking a picture.
An eternal memory frozen
of an unspeackable anguish
whispered only at the moon.

MIDNIGHT MEDITATIO

Sometimes I  feel like riding a serpent that move in circles;
I must be sure to keep riding the side where it won't bite me and,
knowing when is time to jump off and start to run.

and only the feeling of your kiss
was left on my lips
while the devoid surrounded me
with the bright memory of a dream...

MOURNING

I lighted a candle

it will show your way up

don't worry,

everything will be alright.

Don't be afraid of the dark

don't scared the cold

I am escorting you with my prayers

stay with me until they will come to take you.

You left your weak and old shell

now you will be free and strong again.

A light is approaching

don't be afraid, don't be scared

they are coming to take you home.

I weep in silence

you are gone now

in a whisper lies, my last goodbye.

I WISH UPON A STAR

Sometimes happen that you wake up several days with a melody in your head that you can't take it out neither if you listen at it.
Usually with other songs once I listened to them,  the obsession and the craving vanish...but with this one not...I could listen forever  this song repeatetly and  never get bored or annoyed.

Is one of the most beutyful songs that Ville Valo has written until now, but he has never sing it live complete, not from when I started  to follow them , the year 2001 and, everytime I listen to it I think is a shame because is so deep and beutyful that a concert with this song in the set list will be unforgettable, at least for me...
So, although in this period here in Finland you don't see a star in the sky because the night doesn't fall into the dark like in other countries, and although could be possible to see stars only at 1 or 2 in the morning, not even then so clear like from my balcony in Tuscany, I wish  upon a star, that somewhere is falling to make this my wish come true, like has happened with all the others...Please put this song back in the set list for a while...you will not regert it!

The lyrics are by Ville Valo, I guess when he was reading the Dracula of Bram Stocker he wrote this...:)

I'VE CROSSED OCEANS OF WINE TO FIND YOU

There was a time when I
Could breath my life into you
One by one your pale fingers
Started to move
And I touched your face
And all death was erased
And you smiled like an angel
Fallen from heaven, oh -
Just to be lifted up again, ohh

And you kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You brought me back to life
And all things come to an end
We don't have to pretend
Slowly we fall asleep
And never wake up again, oh oh ohh

We're so Christ like
So lifelike
Vampire Christ

We're so lifelike
So Christlike
Vampire Christ

In the grace
Of our love
We writhe in pain
And death is not far away
And soon we'll sleep
And never wake up again

shhh...

There was a time when I
Could breathe my life
Into you
And all things come to an end, oh
We all have to pretend
Slowly we fall asleep

And we're Christlike
So lifelike
A Vampire Christ

We're so lifelike
So Christlike
A Vampire Christ



And here you can listen the song....

SUMMER SOLSTICE

The summer has started

with her darkless nights

the heart ache at the starless sky

where is impossible to throw a wish

but the moon will be there near the sun at midnight

finally together at least for few months.


All is quite like the death

in this ghost city

where also ghosts decided to run away.

The screams of the seagulls remind

that something is alive

and I am not only a silhouette

who is trying to escape

from a mute, black and white movie.


The last beer can, reached the others

that are dead too.

A lonesome dreamer

with rotten dreams.

...There are those days in which
I would like to be nobody
to feel nothing
just stop existing the way I am existing now.

Great White Duke...

....First they give you everything that you want
Then they take back everything that you have
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
They know god exists for the devil told them so
They scream my name aloud down into the well below...

07.05.2013


And it is precisely the dawn with her touch that make the shadows loose their consistency that in the night wriggled in my dreams.
I cross the limbo with my usual uncertainty, right there, on the boderline between the reality and the dream I become insecure even of my senses, doubting the very existence of the world in which I am guest in this certain time range, unsure I am wondering if the night journey has not been nothing more than a glimpse of a parallel reality tied to my soul.
I feel you
the boundary between life and death is as thin as the needle that carve your skin.
I'm afraid that Charon endue by a sudden mercy, granted a last visit before carrying you in Hades.
I cannot breath
I feel suffocated
I cannot move or even get up.
I wait the awaking of the sun to challenge those loads that have collapased on me, remove those stones that are imobilazing me, drinking greedly the light, grab the memories, hoping that sometime I could be wrong.
I understand it was just a bad dream, finally I am free of the agony.
Welcome sun, welcome Light, release me from those horrible shadows that smell like sulphur.
I wish to be there while he is still asleep, whispering how much I love him in one of his dreams, enough to give the strenght he needs, to fight against his fiends.
Our souls are bounded by the same fate but condemned to reach each others only in dreams, shifting traces in an undisclosed reality.

DREAM 29.4.13

I had a dream last night in which I felt that wonderful peace and happiness that was long time I haven't felt;  it was any important dream, it wasn't a meaningfull dream either, perhaps,  was a sequel of a dream I started some time ago.

You where in there, with your long curly  hair and those green eyes that killed me the first time I saw them, you were a teacher and I was a school girl, there were many other schoolgirls in the classroom I didn't know them, they were not familiar to me at all, but you were interacting mostly with me. The others blast their evil eyes on me, for no reason..maybe...or maybe they saw what was going on between us.

The first task you asked me to do was to draw a map, it was my way of seen Europe, it was an homework I haven't done so I was scared to disappoint you, but you reacted like nothing was forgotten and waited me to draw my map, looking at me deeply.
I took my pen and mark the boundaries of my map, I used the yellow pen; I was satisfiled, but it was a strange kind of map, you look at me, laughing sensually and said:
" you left France out from your map..."
"ha..." I answered laughing archnessly   " yes I did..."
You  looked at me with that sweetness you only have, gave me back my map with that kind of expression of knowing the reason why I did so...like if you were expecting just that kind of map from me...without France, for the reason that only you and me known.

I looked around the classroom searching for an approval, I met you before I was testing you, I needed to prove to myself, you remebered me;  many years have passed and I was in disguise anyway in that strange school. I felt you knew who I was, you were indeed favouring my game, we were so inharmony.
Your attention was only for me although you were a teacher in this strange class and I was pleased.

All in a sudden another thing cought your attention, there was a boy, so long dead in reality, he was really in my classroom when I was at my primary school, and I found this quite strange, what he was doing in there, but he didn't care about me or you, it was like a time cut has occoured in that strange universe bulid as a school. He was an outsider, and you didn't care about the other schoolgirls whose were seeking attention, you were wondering just like I did, why that boy was there; then you took
 my  book and you found a letter within the pages and asked me
" Can I?"
" Sure"
"what am I going to find in here?"
" nothing...only a picture...maybe..."

You opened the letter, it looked an old letter, those that were used many years ago when was necessary to send an International letter, because Europe didn't exist like it exist today, those white thin envelopes with blue and red stripes around; I sent a lot of these enevelopes, I had a lot of international pen friends, and I had grandparents in England and it seemed that like I told you, there was nothing in the envelope neither a picture but, you shaked it a little bit more and a picture came out.
" She is beautyful, really" you told me, and I smiled knowing that, of course she was beautyful, she was my mum...and then smiling at me with little bit of melancoly you continued
" just like you..and blonde, like you were the first time..."
you didn't give me back the letter and neither the picture, I won, you remebered me.

A sudden warm I felt in my heart, and I woke up wanting to continue this dream that left me so wonderful warm feeling inside but, the sun was already coming up, and the clock was going to ring in a moment...
I remained with this wonderfull feeling of you, recorgnizing me, without I told you who I was really... hoping that it was true.

INTERCOURSE


I penetrate your soul

bleeding through your dreams

soothe your wounds

shattering your broken wings

chasing the serpent weeping

riding your core until

you'll screming lust

gasping in the emptyness

kissing the void left

before disappearing

in the mist of a dream unfinished.

FACELESS

The reflection goes by on a mirror

and fall  apart while its surface crackles.

We all had our part in this play

we build lies and start to believe in them

 we change masks hoping to stay hidden

until we die.

We re-define the character that fit better

creating an artificial happiness

the fairy tale we almost believe in

only to make the poison of the life less bitter

and the death tread slower.

Drunked on  tears

words came alive on the blurred  screen.

When will we decide to throw away all our  masks

 stop playing  roles and be finally FACELESS

trapped in these dreams of  eternal love?

ASHES ( TOT )

Every love begin and end with a kiss
soft like velvet
painful as a dagger on the heart
cruel like the destiny of a love untold.
Abandoned I flew
with those scars that are bleeding costantly
just to be healed again and again.
Cradled by the mist
I follow the path that bring me to you.
With another poisoned kiss
you lead my heart and soul
to the most sensual death.
Bleeding my pain away
I am humming along
burning my eternity to ashes .

WHO AM I?

Who am I?
I don't know yet
Maybe only a mass of electric pulses
that collide in this universe
and write compulsively
the pain of the heart
the hope of a soul
continuing to feel you;
as a captivating dream.
Loving you
the way I do and always will
and you will never know it
nisi
if you read these tears
becoming words
written to weep
costantly beep...beep...beep...

CRIMSON POISON

Lost in the darkness

searching for the red path

knowing to find you there

waiting.

The moon coldly follow

every my step

while the heart start beating

strong

exploding in my chest

bleeding out the words

you'll never hear

counting every tear

disguised the fear

reckoning the drops

of the scarlet poison within

preparing myself

for the last dream

ready to entwined

the eternity.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON


Sometimes it seems
that the dark will last forever
you wake up
and all in a sudden your sky is without stars
and you feel like sinking
wonder if, will you ever touch the ground.
Your dreams are frozen
up there, on the moon
they say all the lost things end up there
on the other side of the moon
and staring at her light
think
everything will pass.
When you feel your heart is like a haunted place
every beat is a venomous bite
remember
also those who are afraid to die
they will die someday
so the nightmares
the emptyness and the sense of void
that sensible souls always feel.
You are beutiful
and you are strong
keep your fire alive
and ride the dark
with that flame in your heart.
 
 
*Note from the poet: I was listening an old song of Alphaville" MOONGIRL"  and some words were beautiful that I have used them...are not 4 lines identical so no copyright issues...but just in case somebdy complain...

LET MY HEART BURNS

And here I am

holding my breath and tears

feeling my heart bleeding.

Let me fall

and when I am crumbling

show me to whom I am holding.

There, where we start

you took my heart

and let me then fall apart.

Let the night fall

let the dawn born

let my heart burn

let your soul return

to me EVERMORE.

Steering ahead into the emptiness
though the heart is wrenched
like an iron clamp
I reach the final shore
and I am a shadow no more.

IN THE PLEASURE GROOVE, LOVE, DEATH AND DURAN DURAN- John Taylor -

Review Diana Mistera

The Duran Duran were the symbol of my youth so as soon as I discovered that John Taylor had written his autobiography I really wanted to read it.

Why John Taylor's book not Andy Taylor's. Well simply because there was a poster of John on my bedroom wall along with one of Marian Gold of the “Alphaville”. I even went to the local hairdresser with a picture of John and asked for my hair to be done like his. I also looked at all the local fairs for black rubber bracelets like the ones he wore. He was my favourite Duran Duran.

Along with my Alphaville records the Duran Durans were the ones I listened to most, first on my father's 70s record player then on my own modern stereo in my bedroom. I remember being the first in the Tuscan village where I grew up to wear the Duran Duran T shirt, the first to wear chiffon, the first to collect anything to do with the handsome John. Why was I such a pioneer at that time, well because my mother is English and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in Dorset and my aunts in London. It was in England that I bought all the records up to Duran Durans “Arena”. I then transferred them on to tapes for my “walkman”, another 80's icon!

But let's talk about the book. What did I enjoy most about it. I think first of all the description of his teenage years when he discovered an interest in music. Sundays at home with the family listening to old records or listening to pirate radio in his bedroom. The family car, a Ford,my grandfather had a brown Ford. The description of his family home. These things all reminded me of my English grandparents. Reading on, things become more intriguing as he was a fan of lots of artists and imitated their “look” He spent time looking for new material in the record shops. I did that too. I discovered the boy behind the star with all his defects and fears. The rise and fall, the re-birth. I admit I did shed a little tear reading about that! We always saw the public persona smiling in the videos and on the posters but we had no idea what was going on behind all that. We didn't know about the boy, the constrictions that go with fame, the superficiality, the egocentricity when you have everything you ever wanted but have lost any connection with reality. I was surprised at his tenacity visible to this day on stage. He loves to make music. He loves what he does. Todays stars lack professionality and sometimes even talent. His weaknesses are talked about in the book. The time in rehab, the devils behind the public face.

There were some brilliant photos in practically every chapter. There was even a bit dedicated to their visit to Italy, though I was still young when they came, I remember seeing the concert on RAI 2.

I had trouble putting this book down once I started to read it and savoured every word. I don't agree with the critics who say that the second part of the book seems written in haste. I think where he wanted to make a point he did so in depth and well. Now that I have finished this “immersion” into “80s” pop culture I feel I now have an insight into what it was really like to be so famous.

I would thoroughly recommend IN THE PLEASURE GROOVE: LOVE, DEATH AND DURAN DURAN to all who lived this era either through their parents or who were themselves “Duranians” but not quite old enough to go to the gigs at the time that “Wild Boys” became the anthem of the “Paninari” We opened the doors to future generations of pop fans and I am so pleased to have lived the 80s to the full. The hysteria, the tears when Simon broke his foot but came to San Remo with the Duran Duran anyway. I remember Pippo Baudo was the presenter at the time. It was great and in this book we have John Taylor's version of what it was like to be an 80s icon a real insight into life as a pop star.
 
 
 

SHEWOLF

I approached you
brave and fearless
albeit mystified.
You were
winged as an angel
fierce like when you fell.
Ablazed was my heart
at the sight of your eyes
and caught already
in the shackles of darkness
at once
with my soul hungered for more
for your scent, for your blood
for your soul, for you
forevermore.

RIEN NE VA PLUS

Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus

the fate claims

while all my cards

are unveiled

and you throw your heart ace

straight on my face

without debate.

My game is over

as you step on the stage

hiding lies

behind brillant lights

moulting into frozen dust

every chord you touch.

CONFINED


I sleep between the gates of time
although my world
has turn to ashes,
I'm still its guardian.

You have dreamt me sometime
I was your friend
the one without a doubt
everytime you called me out.
I am the dream within the dream
and you are
the one seeking for redeem.
 
I am the last of my line
mortal and divine
I caress you with my kisses
and disappear in the haze
when you open your eyes
diving the frozen scenes
although confined.

THE CHARMER

You look at me so appealing

that I have to find a place

where to hide

but I am craving you so badly

that I leave my haven

to feed my lust.

My heart beatings accelarate

while I became the prey

and you, the charming hunter.

The sun is sleeping away

while the dark start its games

of pleassure and blood

holding me with your gaze

and your whispers stiffened

with brooding lies

words that you know I want to hear

so I will be yours also the next night.

ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS...

Is a point of no return

when you fall in love

deeper you fall

harder you have to crawl

in this endless suicide.

EMOTIONS

Link at the video in the program: Gli Alphaville in "Forever Young"

Saturday 26.1 in a italian program called I MIGLIORI ANNI, I have lived again those wonderful emotions that I had 28 years ago, tears were falling, tears of joy, because it was wonderful to see Marian in Italy again, in an italian program. I waited all day, look at the watch now and then because I live in Finland now so we have one hour of differece from Italy and I scared to get late, but I didn't. :)

I was very happy although a little bitter taste remain in my mouth, because not everybody knows that Alphaville have never stopped to make music, in 2010 Cathing Rays On Giant came out with 2 singles that went quite well in Germany, they are touring all the time and in spring will come ot the new cd, so I was expecting at least a couple of questions, but ...maybe because of Arnold Swrzenegher, not one of the musical guests has been interviewed like happened 2 weeks ago in the first episode of the program.

Anyway, italians now know Alphaville are still around, and I hope they will start to have interest again because is worth it.

Read it carefully and listen it to the end...and do it!

Call Me

Lyrics: Gold
 
You know I’ve never been in love, just read some books about it
You know I’ve never been with you before
But we can meet each other soon to taste a moment lost in life
The touch of fading memories
So if you want me in your life I swear I won’t forsake you
And play this tune to all the fools who fly where angels fear to tread

Just call me and I’ll make it, I’ll fill the black holes in your heart
Just call before you break it
Just call me and I’ll make it, I’ve been around right from the start
Just call me and I’ll take it to keep it save …

I know you better than myself, I’ve been around for so long
Your posters hanging on my wall – untouched
And all these bitches in your life, they made me sick and tired
I locked them up inside my mind, so deep
And now the time has come for you and me to keep our promise
This is your lucky day, the hunter’s captured by the game at last

Just call before we break it and fill the black holes in my heart
Just call and I will take it
Just call me and we’ll make it, you should’ve known we’ll never part
Just call and don’t forsake it, we’ll never part

LET ME TRACK YOUR BLOOD!

WAR WITHIN

Static is the quiet around
while an army of beating drums
march in my heart and soul.
A long way away
the happiest silence
dreaming , remembering , tasting
the peace of the warrior
when the war is gone.
Now and again
beated, hitted, hitted and beated
wounds are open red as blood
the happiest hour so long gone
has left places only for memories to feed on.

FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR...

As I wake in this silence

with the remains

of what has captured my heart

I walk by

and smile at the past;

my life is lying there

splitting in million pages already written

and there is no need

to remember all the ways

because they came once again

to restart from the beginning

knowing that

we will never be an empty page

tore apart.

My dearest,
there are things that we always have to make difference:
do what you like to do, what you are born to do, what all your life have rounded around and, what is actually your life after years and years of sacrifices

1. with the heart and the soul and only for yourself, for the sake of it , for the passion or
2. do it because you have to do

If you realized that you do it because you have to do, maybe is better that you forget the whole thing and start to find something else, certain things you must do because you want. You know the fans will always claps their hands whatever you say or do...they are fans...but I am not a fan, not anymore and see you going down for a stupid reason...it hurts me deeply.
You have had a bad day, every human has it, let it be just a bad day..not something else.

I am sure you haven't sacrificed all  because you have to be what people expect you to be...and I know that in those 2 years of silence you have understood that this thing is all what you are and want to be, you are the key and only you, and in 2001 when I first saw you, you were you.

I have seen your wonderful smile 2 days ago on the stage, I felt the love that for so long you had lost back in you, and I am sure it was just a slip out what happened yesterday, but please don't give up...don't let the stress burn you again...it will be a great loss if you will stop to do what you are doing the best...

I love you.

The shadow that smiles to you always
D.M.

THE SEAL

Suddenly
you feel like you felt the first time
while the hours running fast
to the next dawn
you don't know
if is something to be worried for
or
that old seal need to be resealed
like happened before
in many, many lifes and more
but
this time will be no mask on...

REVELATION 4

The kind of love that scare
is the one that is sacred dark and secret
nothing we can do than

give up at the losses of the time

live within the whispers of the souls

hold the screams of the hearts
die to reborn
with the remebrance of what was known.
