ONE DAY

Published in Poems |

Written by Romeo Della Valle

ONE DAY

One day,

You will go to a place

And I will not be there.

You will sit alone

On an old bench,

Under the umbrella

Of a beautiful Spring

But only the thoughts of me

Shall give you company.

Suddenly,

Tears may come down

All over your weary face

While thinking perhaps

Of what went wrong

Between us.

You, still stubborn,

refusing to acknowledge

My imperfection

And so yours!

Now, time passing by

Rapidly

And feeling a cruel Winter

In the middle of a Summer

In my absence.

Nothing remains

To be said

By now healed heart

But “Thank you for

Passing through

My life”

I must confess

That with you,

I learned to love

And also to suffer

But I survived.

I grew up

And moved on!

Thank you love!

THE SOUND IS ONE

Published in Poems |

Written by Romeo Della Valle

The sound is one
And the word is one,
Then, word and sound
Soon become one.
Each sound has its own word
And each word has
Its own sound.

If you know the sound,
You know the word
And if you know one
Then you know the other!

Knowing is one,
The knowinger is one,
To know is one,
One knows and speaks
When one sound
Calls its own word
And the word responds
To the calling of the sound!
Now, there is not answer
But one!

GOOD vs EVIL (In memory of those fallen in the Boston's City Marathon-reposted)

GOOD vs EVIL

(In memory of those fallen in the Boston's Marathon-re-posted)

Was it somewhere in my early youth
That my heart disclosed this later truth?
When-where-with whom I belong,
Shadows-show me how I went wrong!
Why so near is farthest apart
And time so dear
Mocks real effort! ...

Remember me! Remember me!
For we have not yet
Answered each other souls,
Uncaptured, dare be lighter
And just hearts find a brighter star,
Hesitating wings seeking your flight
Away from scorn
And sight tarnished life! ..

Now, lest fear shall have me flutter,
Stripping myself of childhood shelter
In some unknown but worthy way,
I return to life's array!
Welcome me in-friend or lover
And hear this message,
As muted as thunder! ...

I, too, have sinned,
I, too, have burned!
This is the afterward-soul discerned,
When conscience does a flame ignite
And reduce to ash
Our acts of plight!
Behind a cloud of smoke,
I leave now, a spirit uncloaked!
Good vs evil!

Welcome to My Heart!

Published in Poems |

Written by Romeo Della Valle

Welcome to My Heart!

Just when my life
Was about to collapse,
Drown in an ocean of pain
And desperation,
You happened to come to me
Wearing the perfume
Only found in the flowers
Of my colorful garden…

You have come to me,
Not too late
But just in time
When I needed you the most!
As I expected you to,
As I painted you in my mind
And saw you
In my peaceful dreams!

No more finding parts of you
Scattered all over the world,
Now, you have finally
Come to me as a whole!
Here is my now healed heart,
Newly painted and decorated
And ready for your expected arrival!

Convinced I am
That the search is over
And nothing will stop me
From telling you loud and clear:
“Welcome to My Heart my dear”
