Five Poems by Francesco Favetta

 

They are poetry!

My verses

they are steel breaths

they are storms

in my veins

They are the day and night

they are white or black

never the grey of life

they are Ancore in the flesh

They are the breath of the soul.

I walk in doubt

and at every corner

a question is born

who assails my wounds

and that takes the place

of my heart warrior

never domo in the world

and never speechless

Inner Temple of my life.

I always think of you Vita

I saw you Vita

you were sitting on the edge

of a difficult road

between the rivers in flood

and your decisions

and you ohhh Vita

you were immersed in the roots

and in your values.

I still think of you much

more than the breath that exhales

in the moment in which

ever of your desires ends

its faithful run

and then heavy noises

sweep ohhh Vita

your time flown away.

In the silence of the earth 

Little soul

innocent heart

you are no longer the smile

you no longer breathe

the maternal scent

you no longer play

in your native country

your kisses remain

in the silence of the earth

and today they are the stars

the eternal lights in the sky.

                              

Mom

Mom

whisper of love

silent rustle

in beloved cradles

in the silence of nights.

Looks

and songs of love

those light hands

and the caresses on the faces

of children born in pain.

Mom

are ointments

those words of yours

whispered in the night

to the song of the lullaby.

Your breath still

on the skin and lips

mom pink in the heart

your every smile

is a wonderful flower.

The song of the heart!

On white canvases

of unforgettable moments

carved into the flesh

my wishes fly

for you ohhh mother

on this day of absence

stripped of your breaths

always you soul

in which part of the sky do you live.

And still love is

the song of the heart

I have looked at you in every moment

and even today among the streets

you have given me warmth

in your eyes I have seen memories

your caresses

in my son's hands

and your smiles close by.
