Janice Windle - (Italian Collection) Poems from an Amalfi Coast Holiday 1 - 5

Описание

These poems are from a little book that I am writing and illustrating, about my holiday last week with my lover, Dónall, on the Amalfi Coast. We had a lovely little cabin on the side of the cliffs in Praiano, with a wonderful private balcony. Most of the eleven poems I wrote last week were composed there, in our own little Garden of Eden. This was not a honeymoon but it sealed our feelings for each other and confirmed Dónall as the love of my life. 1. On the Balcony: Twined our hearts and bodies twined like vines and morning glory leaves... Fragile blue stars peer Into sparkling air. Calm and clear, the sea washes with love our summer shore. 2. Travellers: You read, I paint... you away, in Pompeii, I here, but far out to sea... You bring me news of goings-on in Napoli in a distant century... I nod, store information... you admire my evocation of our here and now... 3. Towers Along the coastline of Amalfi stand the towers beckoning with ever-open arms barbarians, or tourists as we're called today, Tempting us with sun and sparkling sea to come and play..... 4. haiku sky's eye passionate gazing on land the sun loves... white noon heat pours down. 5. Seascape Sapphires scattered on silver satin diamonds seething on steel under the burnished sky. Sun's furnace strong after last night's storm, glares on the bright sea's pathway crossed by grey-blue shapes of boats which we view past vines and our own lazy feet propped on rails of olive wood.
