To the dear ones I keep in my heart and the brave ones I pamper with my soul’s sparks.
To the special ones who still care about values, love and life. To the wonder. To you!
There are many ways in which you can read me.
Yet there is one way I wish you would feel me:
Intensely.

Foreword
Have you ever felt there are things that need to be said, done, gathered or resumed for better purposes of life?
While planning other books, audiobooks and motion pictures over the past three years of constant artistic work, I didn’t realize that this book had emerged by itself and for itself, like a silent squire of art, replenished with encouragements and advice, standing by my side in my utmost, fervent quests for the best values meant to preserve the purpose of the sun.
Slowly, in time, feeling by feeling, advice by advice and hope by hope were depicted and saved, growing into a complete work of intense life moments to ponder upon, to learn from, to go back to and to continue from, just like a book of magic, stored on a bookshelf to always take reference from, should we ever veer off course or get lost in a forest of Cheshire cats, queens or white rabbits to confront throughout the wonderland of fate.
This is why this edition holds a special place in my heart in light of everything I strive to transmit out of my inner beliefs, with text, image, sound and motion, from the first publicly-made poem to the latest thrill or joy of my poetical imprint.
Even more special is the collaboration with Giulia Marongiu, a nine-year-old burgeoning artist of Romanian and Italian origins, who brought her talent and sensitivity to my poetical expressions, fashioning them with her unique touch of truth: innocence.
I lay bare the voyage through this emotional bouquet of experiences garnered in this compilation, hoping it will move hearts and bring forth springs from within.
In faith and soul,
Tome I
Poetry
A poem is the moulding of a hand
with the sparkles of eyes, through the silent speech of ears, but essentially,
it is what a soul smells like.
A poem in truth is a flower in bloom with all the human
senses in unison:
feelings.

Ten minutes
Ten minutes of life
someone tagged them with a price
given for a flight, a stop or just an in-between pause;
then your mind runs to catch up for the loss,
while your heart stills
to feel the preciousness of seconds
in a gentle hug holding your hand
right there at the gate,
where prices are to pay
between the gone and soon-to-come,
and you remain as well,
to hold on tight
to the smile weighing inside
with years of treasures upon your memories,
while ten minutes display
ironically
a scribbled tag,
before a terminal
with nothing to lose
or gain;
for you pace your breathing
in the safe clock of your being
to embrace those eyes at any landing
after flying towards destiny, before staying on the grounded path of
reality –
purposely giving the most beautiful bearing
to a one-of-a-kind meaning.
(November 2011)
Reflections of Bodensee
There is a place where water kisses the earth
Cushioning with faith white streams upon its sheets
It’s where space hails from no form
While time stands in awe, holding on to the universe.
It’s a body whose limbs embrace three ancient symbols
Engendering from ice, on silken beds of giant alps
Unbinding borders of complexity unified
Through flamboyant communication means.
Antiquity named it by its deeds
Stemming from castra, chivalry and masculinity
Audacious bod, brandishing fierce coats-of-arms
While bashfully subdued to nature’s attributes.
From its core in an island in bloom
To its surface mirroring stilt houses and flying balloons,
Sweet apples and wine remind sojourners of its taste
While it feels like sun on its canvas of Mediterranean hues.
And when it represents traditions and cutting edge feelings
In three hugs, a hand-shake or a friendly servus
It’s a culturally attired melting pot of Europe
To explore so that one can learn, to adopt so that one can love.
And so its shores beholding hopes and dreams
At the threshold where reality sets sail to explore fantasies
Are the immutable purveyor of waves humanly entwined
Carrying, upon their crystalline beliefs, the sequel of life.
(August 2011)
Ü, Berlin
Vastness of cosmopolitan weaving over marshy spaces
Gathered in eclectic clusters of styles and tendencies
You’re like a poor chameleon, arduous to adapt and diversify
As soon as the onerous time passes you by with its spotlight.
Populous and popular in theme
Engraved by an unsettled history of three million heartbeats
They seem to have forgotten your etymology
Replaced by a hugging bear at your Ishtar gate of Greek virtues.
To complete history’s reminiscence with geographical cachets
Of twelve downtowns, fashioned from castles to Plattenbau
Your highlights display human vintage with glamour names
Smouldered by unknown juvenescent faces.
For you’re the city of Marlene, exhibiting a lot of Marilyn
Of high-avenue puppets against low-street mannequins
The big screen projecting Hollywoodian reveries
Directed with scripts and impromptus to cajole reality.
An idiosyncratic array imbues in colours all your limbs
But where lies the core of your luminescence?
Is it the high-tech Platz, the bourgeois play with lime-tree sceneries,
Or maybe the Funkturm film, with all social marks in one storyline?
The moonlit scene fumbles for your wells of passion
You, city of arts, motions, carnivals and cultures
Where the millions of eyes with peregrine curiosity
Don’t feel for the blueprint, rather live the pixels of your images.
In this amphitheatre of directors, visitors and actors
During the intermission, your lens may capture just one sparkle
Two eyes close-up, one love up-close, from the path of fate into your cityscape
Meant to portray a time-lapse glow, which will perpetuate
Your seed, your universe.
