BETTER THAN JOSEPH’S DREAMCOAT!

di PoetaMatusèl

 

Did someone say we dream in black and white?
Yet life is simply full of colour, myriad colours,
and all so fine and beautiful, with thousands
of incredible nuances, shades without limits!
And Black & White photography is attractive,
can even often be more beautiful and interesting
than colour shots or pictures or video images.
But I want to live My Life in fullest colour,
more colourful than any Technicolor dreamcoat,
and you are my magician with a paintbrush,
good witch who fills my everyday with colour!

AIRPORT APPARITION

di PoetaMatusèl

 

You wear flowers
with the very same
elegant nonchalance
with which I may
wear any plain, dull,
boring piece of clothing.
Impossible not to
notice you, so lovely,
yet so modest that
a photograph may
depict you only partially
– you had no notice of
this photo opportunity.
And yet you really are
as beautiful as any film
star I have seen, who
was so full of being
herself! And then you
you disappear, as quickly
as you had suddenly
turned up, taking with you,
once more, beautiful roses.
Perhaps a piece of me, as well …

THE GERMAN PATIENT

di

For Angelina S.

 

Angelina, are you
free again, today,
free to fly with
eyes wide-open –
to forget the
sorrow and pain?

And now that
the cage is open,
will I see you
again tomorrow,
or will skies
of Indies – all! –

hug you in the
monsoon rain?

LISA DAGLI OCCHI BLU / MY BLUE-EYED LISA

di PoetaMatusèl

 

LISA DAGLI OCCHI BLU

Capita, di tanto in tanto, che una donna
confonda piacevolmente i miei pensieri
e io mi trovi a fotografare una luna
sopra un mare risolutamente sereno.

Ti aspettavo, senza nemmeno saperlo,
da molto tempo e adesso, all’improvviso,
sei arrivata, senza né annunci né trombe,
a scompigliare l’ordine sparso dei sogni.

 

MY BLUE-EYED LISA

It happens, now and then, that a woman
pleasantly confuses all my thoughts,
and I end up photographing a moon
over a sea that is resolutely serene.

Unawares, I had been waiting for you
for a long time, and suddenly now
you turn up, without warning or fanfares,
to upset the random order of my dreams.

FAMIGLIA DI ROSE

di PoetaMatusèl

 

SANY3097

 

A Norma

 

La rosa è una rosa
ed è sempre stata una rosa.
Ma teoria ora vorrebbe
che una rosa sia pure la mela,
includendo perfino la pera,
come pure la prugna sarebbe.

Lo sa solo il cielo
quale prossima cosa
di essere rosa direbbe.
Tu, di sicuro, sei una rosa –
ma lo sei sempre stata!
