Sadness



You hush a deep sorrow
-wreck without complaints-
for no rip the smile
in the face of friends.

The folds of my lips
hide grimaces of pain
and my beaming smile
hide grief and distress.

Hermeticism and silence
mysterious absence,
unhealthy inquietude
disturbs my mind.

The misfortune of your soul
reachs me so quickly,
agil flies with the wind
or on crystal clouds.

I can't imagine your features
blind the eyes of my soul
I can't perceive your
emotions.

Grief in your heart
life hit you so hard...
but sorrows shared with friends
are easier to bear.

Maria Gioia Benacquista
