in fragments

a.
hidden in a dark room resounding
with arias full of love and sighs,
dramatic emotions mingled with reality
gave life to whispers and incessant kisses…

b.
how sarcastic that the final conclusion of aida
“morir! si pura ebella” suddenly came to me—
eternity is worth an infinite resignation and/or
the weight of a fatal stone, in the name of love.

c.
“datemi pace,” i sang my heart to you in the form
of a madrigal. you laughed and sang back
“Io parto” meanwhile giving my hand a firm grasp.
then we both admitted: word-painting was for fools.

d.
candle lights flickering in darkness, the
chorus plain chanting sacred praises for
the divine goodness, silently, but unmistakably,
an empty chair evinced a different story.

e.
i could almost see the cello body reflecting
sunlight onto the purple curtains. I pondered
over what must be a false memory–
a dark room had to, by definition, be lack of light.

between the gentle diatonic lines of palestrina’s pope marcellus, tranquility emerges from polyphony. voices transcend one another by a lone syllable, emitting clarity like a bright star in a summer night sky. steadily and firmly, a quest for peace sets out in the absence of dissonance. the bearings of its religious meanings are lost in time. a clear athenian wisdom rings: the divine is human.

6.2
in quant en moy
the tenor voice sings:
thanks
to
love
and
extraordinary
beauty
fearing
feigning
are what
i am
consumed by…

6.1
when you see me playing verdi’s la traviata repeatedly…
you know that i am substituting alcohol with drinking songs…

5.31
we went on a hike at appleton farm this afternoon. midway through our adventure, storm clouds started to gather above our heads and descend briskly as if they were eager to kiss the maple tops. soon the sky began to whistle and rain slid down gently. we took a safe spot under a tree while the branches danced along with the wind and our hair waved in the flying water.  the image of the cabin afar blurred into the background. i mistook it as a lighthouse.

5.27
a soul, if exists, must perch
in adagio con variazioni as a
fragment of respighi’s lyrical
verse or it must exist as an
abstract contrapuntal, bearing
concreteness in franck’s melodic
terse. it must uphold itself to be
a post romanticist, an adamant
follower of saint-saëns and fauré.
truth is apparently shown: subtle
syncopation of human passion
is what defines a beautiful soul.

i hear only warmth reverberating the guitar strings
then i think of you
and he
and she
and i
and words, colors, sounds
blurred into rainslide
drip by drip
captured by your fortissimo
in his melody
her rhythm
my al niente
and words, colors, sounds
liberated into a world of blurry rainslide
i see only warmth reverberating the guitar strings

perhaps it’s not the truth that’s important but life itself, the very fact that we are breathing, seeing, loving, singing,…
