WRITE FOR ME
Write for me a love poem
when the moon
calls her maids to stud
with shining pearls
the dark dome
Write for me a love poem
when the winds
gently move the tops of the trees
playing romantic serenades
Write for me words of love
when the waves
like joyful children
chase each other
And at the first lights of dawn
whisper to the finches and sparrows
your most beautiful rhymes of love
like messengers they’ll come
to my window
singing their songs
to talk me about you
Collect for me the sweetest words of love
when the morning dew
with its light touch gently awakens
the still drowsy flowers
in the endless fields
And still write for me words of love
when the sun at the horizon
in its eternal embrace
kisses the sea.
Maria Miraglia, Italy
