poems from "wandering soul"

domenico margiotta

In the desolate air, desperate shouts of souls
who live in shadow, with human-like behavior
create melancholy dissonance
thinking of a defeated past
and an uncertain future.

In the painful silence, words
without sense wander in a veiled cloak
someone calls out to someone…
the other answers no one.

Now all is silence: sleepless beings
have lost their way home and lodge
where they find light; worried relatives
retrace their painful steps
to find the lost child.

Only the wind among the hearty
gives the breath of life ...
… prolonging the agony.

*

The vesper wind rushes in
with agile streams leaving
its essence in the light

With whispering steps it penetrates
the night, filling the gap
with soothing and slim airs

It staunches the senses in a mystical
smile of death and life together

expiring and breathing here and there

It is wearing a secret
that no one can guess
evasive like him

everyone can contemplate
transported for an instant
into the heart of winds

domenico margiotta was born in 1984 in Pietramontecorvino, Foggia Province. He studies art history at the University of Florece. He works with an online paper as editor of the culture section.
