Among Family Tree’s


A soldier’s heart yearns
For the romance and love
Of another’s wife

A spider’s web of love affairs
Hangs in the balance of
Wanting forgiveness

The shade of an old oak tree
Grows larger,
Foreshadowing that of danger

Anger brings on
The hunger of
Death fire and brimstone

Caught in the crosshairs
Of foul play,
One digs his own grave

Time is only grains of sand
Flowing through an hourglass of time

The stillness I feel in your kindness

His Heart is that of Italy

The leisurely beauty of Italy,

Il bello d'Italia
The beauty of Italy

Lies down, upon a place of rest
Within his heart

Her skies, seduce the eyes of his soul
Her countryside of rolling hills, vineyards,
Grapes that will become wine,
Her culture, its people hidden by its own rule,
The colour of a peacock, its cuisine, its aroma
More important to him than that
Of his own reality

My hearts song, longs for the acceptance
Of her opulence and subtle disguise
