Dance like the snow

January 4, 2019July 11, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

dance like the snow that falls to the sea
dance like the birds that fly wing to wing
dance like your heart remains on fire
dance like the world is still never-ending

New endings

hope

Hope near

‪Hope near invisible‬
‪Flicker of an eyelid‬
‪Curve of a smile ‬

You bring my life

you lend my life lustre
dullened silver reflecting your light
love long lasting and light

Trust once betrayed

December 22, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Enticed entreated tricked
Thin snow on thinner ice
Trust once betrayed will never

Shortest day

December 21, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Three crows fight; one dies
Mist rises through the leafless trees
Nobody smiles at me

You were in my dreams

December 7, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

You were in my dreams all night long
In the day I dreamed to be in yours
Do you dream of me or with me?

Come in, stranger

December 7, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

outside air burning pepper cold
house though tumbled blanket warm
take off your hat, your gloves and shoes
be calm and sit and close your eyes

tomorrow is tomorrow and we will deal with that
for now feel safe and sleep

pale cherry

pale cherry lips
windchill numbed
eyes spark black
as storm clouds approach
all this must end, must end

Yesterday winter held

November 18, 2018 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

Yesterday winter held below the horizon
Chill dawn hears silent locks unlocking
Misted wraiths stealthy gyre at daybreak
Winter rises from hard fields
