Eight Poems by Maria Teresa Liuzzo

A Dream

            

The night is dancing in your pupils

On our entwined bodies

To the whiteness of a lost breath 

in the heart 

that breathes the ellera of a dream, 

where the unconsciousness 

is embellished with the limit

behind leaving

sunrises and sand worlds

getting bood of moths

The Colour of your eyes

Dresses the loneliness of the hour

And the wisdom of the bodies

Unravels.

Shadows of a never dissolved desire

Graffiti of memory on the lips

Moaning in the sheets 

of mirrored geometries!

□

The Songs of the Water

Interweawing of flowery skies

I’d give if your heart could listen

I’d springle  roses on your face 

For love.

I’d fill your mouth with rivers

If only could I dare to soften

The brances and nests

Still with the songs of the water

If could I wear the snow

I’d dress your shadows in blue.

□

The Butterfly Rests

Pulsating Gums

Where time is our enemy

And the butterfly rests 

among buds that

are not open

abandon blinds 

beetle of light

you-I, the sea and the time

now  that you’re on the hill

and you go down its sides

I catch you essence 

in a quiver of leale

in a prodigy d’alba 

made love.

□

The Doors of Hope 

Tell me

When you fell aspleep on my breast

And the sun was setting 

on the cushions

I held in them the last ray

and filled that weeping

which did not close 

the doors of hope.

□

On the Carpet

Now my verse lies down

On the carpet

Reason and madness

Sublimate every absence

Circumscribed in the depth of  history

If  revenge shatters writing

It rains dances of light

Universes of silence

The rain paints our faces

A  kiss of shadow 

Fill our abisses.

□

The Hymn of Silence 

Listen to the hymn of  silence

Shattered by a child’s cry

Trembling of the night

Which  thirts for justice 

on the page

the light of darkness

on the half closed flowers

to the caressed grace 

of the grass. 

Listen to

the unspoken words

grain of memory already

poured into the blood like stars.

The moon embroiders  circes  in the sky

They ‘ve got the color of your love

The emerald of the moss 

That glistens on the trunks ;

they have the flood of the rivers.

At night, listen

hidden in her dreams

that garments of heaven get free

on your chained body

between angel veils 

and heavy eyelashes.

□

On a Green Island 

I feel you’ll come back

Thoughtful  word of death

Lukewarm shells and seaweed

Beyond the light

Vaporous flooding the dunes.

We, children of love

Among corals of storm

And amphorae of light 

In serene dance

 in the heart of martyrdom-

Mani che sfiorano-pag.39

Hands that touch

Faces of innocence

Restoring colors

To the autumn pale

Life looks winter

In damp rainshot

No veils of mist

Shining in  the sun

Like the lisso, the words.

Children’s choir 

on a green Island.

□

Scars of Seasons

Scars of Seasons

Drinking goblets of flowers

And oxymorons 

away from deceptions

rain caresses

and rivulets of rage

in physical gesture

they invent the time 

of the last light

The wind that penetrates the blood

Ward off desert of fear

And makes the down rise endlessly

From the verse that slips 

From Homer’s heart.
