poetry: Africa Africa
The blue sky
spreads her sweet veil
color,
intense, smooth, shiny,
fields surrounded by a magical tremor.
My gaze is absent,
blinded by the sun shining,
vibrant
a new candor
light, thrill and excitement.
Settles gently
on long, green palms
and majestic acacia trees,
spotted on the red clay
m'inebriano that peace,
seeing,
between streams teeming with yellow butterflies,
birds and colorful flowers,
black masses of hippos lying,
that lazy rest in idleness
and beano in fresh
with attentive ears.
On their side, are powerful jaws
crocodiles, fairs wings of birds of prey,
the tawny lions roaring
immense savannah driven by the winds,
convey enchanting scents,
loads of live glimpses
of my time that I love Africa
and my heart is a constant reminder.
The memory of the roar of the water
that thundering falls,
the idyllic waterfalls,
the white dews,
myriad flamingo flat on the water of the lake,
pink feathers of a fairy world,
I've always dreamed of:
innate echo of past lives!
Many times I heard,
between huge trees
lemurs and tender,
the languid trumpet of elephants,
true rulers of this land, huge,
the rumble of drums
of distant peoples,
the color of your skin,
dark as the copper.
O Africa desert, hot sun,
or open my land, proud and powerful,
you're always
in memories of my mind.
I feel the colors of dawn,
see the silence,
the sun wakes up on my face broken,
tired
of a world that too impatient,
looking for a pleasure
where s'ingrotta dark.
Suddenly
sudden
my tears flowing
and in my heart
comes the magic.
is a dream? Will be a mirage!
Or else I am awake and this is reality?
Soon, the pitch dark
of restless slumber black,
love is born,
red like my heart ,
as the real Africa,
full of ardor,
my soul hopes
and never forget.
