BETTER THAN JOSEPH’S DREAMCOAT!

 

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!

(REVERSE) STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so used to thinking that heaven

should be in a place somewhere high,

and yet Life is so full of surprises, that

we can find anywhere the unexpected.

Thus it was that I found you, one evening,

climbing donwards a spiral staircase!

AUTUMN, COME TOO SOON …

 

This much-too-orange moon,
too large, too bright, too cheeky,
that mocks my every movement,
my moods, my very madness…

This cannot be the moon of your
long walks on unknown beaches,
without even a dog, without us both,
the Baltic’s feathers ruffled by the early
breezes of this autumn come too soon.

Oh, no, this has to be my moon alone,
for it is coloured just like dying leaves,
appropriately enough, because this is
the designated season of farewells,

when everything that’s natural will die,
making – like our scant harvest of love –
space for the hopeful flowers of next year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRECOCE AUTUNNO * Traduzione (un po’ libera)

del poeta Fiore Leveque

 

Ahi, Luna a buccia cotanto ranciata
Tanto larga, brillante, e ’sì sfacciata!

In berlina metti ogni mio movimento
E umor, e… ogni atto mio ’sì da demente!

Non puoi esser quella tu, in vagar, compagna
’si tanto là ove rena il salso bagna,

Senza un can, senza noi due stretti a Un Cuore,
e arruffa piuma in Baltica brezza Amore,

Ed in precoce tal stagione morente.
Eh, no! Solo mia tu sia luna ardente,

’sì colorata a mo’ di morte foglie,
Ed appropriatamente, dove coglie

Stagion designata per ogni addio
Ogni che torna da Natura a Dio:

… qual, ’sì, ora scarso raccolto d’amore,
qui, ove l’anno che verrà sarà in fiore.
