IL DEMONE DELLO SPECCHIO

Nightwish - "Stone People"

I still dream every night

of them wolves, them mustangs, those
endless prairies

the restless winds over mountains tops

the unspoiled frontier of my kith and
kin

The hollowed land of the Great Spirit

I still believe

in every night

in every day

I am like the caribou

and you like the wolves that make me
stronger

we never owed you anything

Our only debt is one life for our
Mother

it was a good day to chant this song
for Her

Our Spirit was here long before you,
long before us

and long will it be after your pride
brings you to your end

I wait this so much!!!! And Iam sure...for this samples it will be worth the waiting....

SCOREKEEPER

From the very beginning

we were like dancing magnets

of fragmented molecules

which were an entirety once.

We collide in each other's life 

and couldn't stop what

was rising from within.

Once we were silver lining scars

and we fed our desire

with tongues of fire

Now we crackle and torn

burning every time a bit more.

ODE TO THE GREY

One more time

life deceived us

and the moon turns red

because of the tears I have shred

and my soul is a deserted land.

We will never know why

we were chosen by the fate

to live multipled lives

which turned love

into a neverending craving.

I see you passing by

gently smiled at my face

we are both tired

to keep living in the shade

of this undisclosed desire

which put our hearts on fire

with flames that we cannot tamed.

HALLOW

Staring down from above

watching you return

slithering at your window

an hallow shadow.

You'll be safe

although hunted by your own demons

I'll keep you safe

my love will not end

I promise

in hundred moons and more.

You should know by now

that you are and will be only mine.

NEWS

Hallo my friends!
Here is some juicy news for you!

An article in a finnish blog culture has been written about Runokohtauksia, in which I have been mentioned. I am very excited about this, it was a very nice surprise.
If you want to read it, follow the link under:

http://www.cultfinlandia.it/antologia-di-poeti-stranieri-in-finlandia/

Another good news is that I have been invited at the Robustos stand at the Helsinki's Book Fair. Robustos is the publisher of The Runokohtauksia anthology, I will be at the stand reading some of my poems from the anthology  the 23.10 from 12.00 to 12.30 and then I will be in an interview with Tommi Parkko at the Wine Cafè  stage from 14.00 to 14.30.

Runokohtaus was a multicultural project in which me and others not Finnish poets were involved. Finnish professional poets have translated our poems in Finnish. The city of the project is Turku.


So please welcome and come to say HI! If you are around..I will be very happy!


This is it for now!

ARE WE STRANGERS AT ALL?

As you whisper my name

I go in those prohibited places of my soul

feeling sometimes guilty

because the first time we met

I really couldn't stand you.

Now in my dreams you come

not anymore an unpleasant presence

you feed that long time doubt

and memories gathering around

You tell me stories

and every time I dream about you

I feel something...

Are we strangers at all?

ALPHAVILLE'S CONCERT- 28.08.2015- Helsinki -We love 90's-

Hello my friends
I finally was able to go to see them again and meet again one of the most important person in my life.
The concert was great. Marian's voice was wonderful and the whole performance was to die for.
I dance and sing like a teenage. I enjoyed very much. And they enjoyed too.

Next time hope to have more time to chat!

Maya Kim: you are a great bass player!

Thank you Marian, Thank you Christian. Thank you all for the wonderful emotions!
The time machine really exist!

I love you!!!

ROMANCE

We hide secrets deep inside
riding the night
shapeshfters at the light
when our dreams
fades with the dawn.
Can't you see
the bound of our souls
captured eternally?
I wait to kiss you
with a certain kiss
the sacred and the profane
entwined.
No one will love you the way I do.
I want to hold you
I want to touch  you
I want to catch you when you fall
I want to feel you deep inside.

Meat Loaf - Rock´N´Roll Dreams Come Through

...I treasure your love

I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it...

FOREVER IS NOT JUST A WORD

Every now and then I get tired

of the sound of my tears falling.

The feeling of emptyness

choke my heart

and my soul is screming for you.

I become little bit restelss

when my dreams don't feel right

and like a little child

I crave for your arms

but finding the void left

by the dream of you

and I fall apart.

My love for you is a shadow

where I really want to get lost

you, my sweetest torment

I really need you now

more than ever

to have you forever.

NÄIN UNTA

Every night I was looking at the moon

and talk to her wishing my soul will find finally its double

and the immense feeling of loneliness

was washed away.

Somewhere you were waiting to hold me,

looking at the same moon

wishing the same and the tears went dry

I held on to that little sparkle of hope

and the fullmoon cuddled me with its soft wind.

I remeber the dream where we held each other hands

and you told me

“don't look back or everything will vanished”

I believed you but the fear was bigger

I looked and you vanished away

no one of my screams was heard

but I've lost everything and my moon went black.

So I started to look at the stars.

I remember the walk I used to take to the hill,

I ran at the higher point

thinking I was nearer to the sky

wishing at the shooting stars,

thinking the sky was crying with me

Knowing you were doing the same somewhere

with no memory of me in any way.
I hope your wishes came true
because mine, betrayed me.

I am still waiting to hold you.

Now our sky is the same

the stars are gone in those summer nights

which never are dark.

I saw you

not a dream anymore

but still not mine.

I succombed at the fear

and now I have been punished

to be only a shadow in your dreams.

I still love you and always will

and you still don't know I exist.

It's easier to live alone

than fear that dream will never comeback.

If only I haven't look behind.

The Premiere

Hallo at all!
As promised  here the post about the premiere.

I left Hämeenlinna at 14.00 and arrived in Turku at 16.15.

I met fisrt Marja and then Heikki Savola, the director of Robustos.

When the ceremony has started I was quite excited and I was surpraised and happy when, during his speech, Heikki Savola has quoted a line of one of my poems. I didn't expect such thing.

After the speech we have red the introduction poem. Each poet in own language, and the finnsh poets that have been translated us the finnish version.

The whole cerymony was about one hour and half and after this we all went to eat in a loveley and good Italian Restaurant called LA TRATTORIA ROMANA.

With this happening the journey ended.
We have worked together 4 years and all the experiences that I have had are treassures and I will never forget.
When I moved to Finland in 2003 I couldn't imagine that my poems will end published in here in 2015 in finnish language.
Before Finland I have written only for few friends, I was too shy, too unsure ...and now I have red in front of people in festivals and happenings, and I know now more than never before, what I really want to to in my life. Write, write and write...I want to get lost in the arms of the inspirations and listening to the voice of my Muse and wondering...

Thank you to all those who believed and support me from the beginning.

Thank you to Marja, Tommi, Esa, Juha Timo, Terhi, Marja Lisa, Danilll and all those that I can't remember the name but have been important too for the achievment of this project.
And of course, a big thank you to the city of Turku.

I will miss the meetings at Kirja Talo and I will miss all my collegues and friends.
Just don't forget each others.  We have started a path which now is taking many different directions and I know we will cross each other paths now and then again.

THANK YOU!

NEWS

Hallo Everybody!
A little update for you all.
I just cameback from my holiday in UK and a day in London was too less.

Those who know me since my very first years, know also that London is my second city. England is my second land.  I was happy to go back there after so many years; London was waiting me..bigger than the last time, but still my London. London is London. While I was walking through Piccadilly , memories cameback to me like neither a day have been passed since 2002.
All the pubs with jazz music , a dream in my heart to have one day a reading in one of these places.
The Phantom of the Opera still going on in many theatres: an opera that I want to see  one day and many memories were still waiting me there...at the entrance of the metro to Soho...vivid as never before.

Well I will not wait other 10 years to go back in there, this is sure.

The week in UK was not only London. I met my relatives  and I have been with my mum and everyday was an emotional one.

Now I am back in Finland, and the news is that the poetry anthology of Runokohtauksia is out, published by Robustos.
With the project Runokohtaus we will have the premiere night this week 11.6.2015 at the Main library in Turku at 17.00, so welcome to hear us all.

There are 10 my poems in the anthology, translated by the finnish poet Tommi Parkko. All the poems are only in finnish beside one: the intro poem, which is both in finnish and italian.


HERE YOU CAN BUY THE ANTHOLOGY


Next update will be after the premiere.

INTERCOURSE

I penetrate your soul

bleeding through your dreams

soothe your wounds

shattering your broken wings.

And then 

I ride your soul 

until you'll screming lust

gasping in the emptyness

kissing the void left

before disappearing

in the mist of a dream unfinished.

MUSING

Be like the stone
but be also like the water
which run over the stone
without feeling it
as an obstacle
and remember
the water always flow
to join the river.

The sky is  weeping.

OMEN

You walk away from the pain

you left behind

but without me

you loose your way.

Come, come to me

take my hand and believe.

No time to think

no time to keep

you can't pretend

That I don't exist.

Distances are what

make souls ramble

and hearts humble.

I am in your blood

I am under your skin

your soul is mine

like mine is yours.

We walk along

through those parallel worlds

You are the one

I have been searching for so long

You are my sweetest poison

the eternal temptation.

THE SCARLET WOMAN

Once upon a time I found myself with no memories of the past or plans for the fuure in a place beyond recall. A woman stood in front of me: she was dressed in a scarlet hood which covered her face and I could see only her lips which were scarlet as well, on her skin were marks that I didn't understand and so, as I have always done, I gave them no importance.

She asked me if I wanted to listen to a story, and with no other option available to me at that time, I said yes, and she started her song:

She looked like an angel

but her wings were

one attached to heaven

and the other to hell

She was Innocent and naive

and believed in everything.

He was the sun

shining upon her

charming her with a liquor

he used to called love.

Shadows started to creep

into the mirror that once

reflected the image of a dream

and the wine in the grail

became too sour to drink.

He was a fiery tiger

and she became

the easy prey of that heartless hunter.

She made herself prettier

so she could still be his baby

covering the scars and the marks

with astonishing make up

but it wasn't enough.

She was dying alone

in that golden cage

he had built for her

Her verses became the silent scream

of a soul that slowly stepped

into the path of an announced death.

The scarlet woman paused and only at that point did I notice that she had the grail in one hand and the sword in the other and she continued to sing

Do you understand who I really am?

I have had many names but nowadays

I go with the one that made me best known

I carry in this grail

the abomination and the despair

of those lost souls

that have fallen from grace

calling themselves masters

saviours, keepers.

My consort is Chaos

a beast known for his many tails

I am indeed, Babalon The Great!

Then she poured that wine of astonishment into my glass

and I was left sadly wondering.

(*Quote: Babalon, not to be confused with Babylon, also known as theScarlet Woman,Great Mother or Mother of Abominations, is a goddess found in the mystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904 with English author and occultist Aleister Crowley's writing of The Book of the Law (although the name Babalon does not occur in that text). In her most abstract form, she represents the female sexual impulse and the liberated woman...)

©It is my own interpretation of this Biblical, and pagan figure.

PS: this prosa /poetry I have prepared for the International women's day- This year theme was " we fight against the violence on women"

I red it the first time, at the International Women's day  on saturday 7.3.2014, at Kumppanuustalo in Hämeenlinna.
