POETS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT THEM!

 

 

Why should the two of us ever have met,
defying all statistical fate and probability?
We didn’t have to sail Mediterranean Seas
(our beloved and yet bloody Mare Nostrum),
nor did we have to climb the Atlas Mountains,
nor cross your deadly yet fascinating deserts…
It took few clicks to get together in the ether,
but now I dream of you in scenes geographical,
compare your skin to moons of unknown beauty,
and promise we shall meet in The Bard’s theatres!
So, is it Love, or simply Spanish castles in the air?

THE GERMAN PATIENT

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?
