on understanding real beauty

March 17, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

bee-sting lips drip honey
faux fur purse drips money
me, my pockets are fully empty
but the smile in my heart will never leave me

hope spring forever

March 16, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

hope spring forever
Then summer stopping all our tears
autumn winter yes

hope spring green

March 15, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

hope spring green spring hope
warning songs heard as welcome
sunshine shapes desire

mother’s day

I try to build every day
I try not to be riled every day
I try to go wild every day
I remember you every day

look north

look north

more snow on the hills

sun glints on out-tide sand

emotions need no metaphor

you live to the south

March 12, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

you live to the south
waking in winter you see the sun before me
evenings I climb the highest hill
to hold it in my eyes a little longer
until suddenly like hope it slides away

my dreams are habit forming

March 11, 2021 / simonsalento / 2 Comments

my dreams are habit forming
glossing the darkest days mistakes
until
with patience
the apricot morning breaks

the storm has passed

March 10, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the storm has passed
but
the birds remain silent
they are waiting too

only when you whispered

March 9, 2021 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

only when you whispered me the words
the words you whispered me
only when you whispered me
the strength in silence

following

March 9, 2021 / simonsalento / 1 Comment

following my own path
my decisions my choices
finally I found you
