Licio Marfisi Poems

On nights like these I held her in my arms. I kissed her greatly under the infinite sky.
Her intrepid deep browm eyes invigorated my existence, and she lashed my blood with her trail of fire.
Oh, I reflected, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
It seems as though it was yesterday, oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom i loved and lost. Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.
...

My day and my night
My breath and my sigh
My joy and my dreams
The thought I will keep
...

Clear testament of a soul's continuation
It subtly releases mystical healing power
Reconciliatory force with the now
Voice of a heart's desire to let go
...

Like a sensuous morning in mid August
The warmth and splendor of the Summer
Taking over our innermost thoughts and feelings
Rendered hopeless I am by your charming heart
...

I embrace your caring heart
Acknowledge your unique devotion
Cherish your sensitivity
Clear testament to your humanity
...

Grudges against her I hold none
Supreme Guru, revered teacher
Good times and lessons remain
Grief that cannot be fathomed
...
