Virtues by Rosanella

Virtues in love ( October 2009)

Appeased is that yearning.
Oh dear Chastity does
Heaven have a place in space?

As the warm and tender Autumn leaves fall,
Temperance permeating the cool air,
then she cries ‘ Stop that charity!
Embrace me because you need me,
kiss me because you want me,
Hold me as if nothing else matters.’

Diligence do not abandon me,
Patience strengthen me. Where is he?
Kindness find him.
When the dark side of him
bids the last farewell
him who with humility, at peace at last,
lowers his eyes
to kiss me.

7 Deadly Sins: Pride by Rosanella

Pride

It cuts and it hurts right inside
I need help but I can’t ask
Must not ask
Is it a touch of adult pride?

I can hear you in the distance
My head spinning round
What is this?
Should I ask?
Will you say it?
Is it just childish pride?

Memories by Rosanella

Back and forth the pendulum moves
Grains of sand drop one by one
Days, weeks, years have passed,
Vivid memories of a time that has gone past

Flashing in the distance
Now strong, then weak,
I can see them clearly
Vivid memories of a time that’s gone, at last!

Eyes staring through the limpid water,
Fresh in my mind just like yesterday
The solitary fish swims through pebbles staring me back,
Oh those memories of a time gone so fast.

City (Street) by Rosanella

City Street (London, 18th August 2009)

The city awakens in the early hours
A fox throttles down the street,
its stomach filled, satisfied
while a rat returns to sleep.
Silence is broken
A lorry is roaring, piercing the quiet street
alas the birds won’t return to sleep
Streetlights are now dimming
A new day makes its way in
Embracing this street that never sleeps.
