Gerlinde Staffler: Emotional Fireflies

Poetryzine magazines presents the selected poems by the Italian poet Gerlinde Staffler


Emotional Fireflies


See this tiny shiny creatures conjuring up splashes of joy in the forest Magically they evoke a myriad of smiles in the beholder's eye floating, light hearted through the mild summer night as if there was no tomorrow in the treetops

Thousand of whirling stars speckle the inscrutable blue curtain graciously displaying a jubilant dance before the eyes of curious night owls, accompanied by soul filled, hidden noises, enveloped by the warm numbing scents of the vegetable creation.


Genuine Happiness


Happiness, an adorned room

of little simple things,

sometimes nearly invisible

but not untouchable by emotions

unleashing a special fragrance to life.


Like effervescent rays,

feelings are allowed to intrude

Having the permission to be human

they open the view

to the impatient inner child


And with these innocent eyes

You can steal the twinkling stars from the indigo vault

You can hear the subtle music of an animated flower meadow

You can sense the gentle touch of the vivacious wind

You remain astounded in front of a purple stroken dawn

You feel the verve of a captivating smile,

the soft vibration of a delicate human caress

Outspoken words of kindness kidnap the silence

And suddenly the world is wrapped in genuine colors


A throbbing heart gives the rhythm to this natural perception

showing the own Nobel vulnerability,

the only walkable way to fulfill harmony

with oneself and the beings on earth




Eyes


Two twinkling stars are gliding

Like heavenly rays

On wavy seas

Intimate waters are stirred

By moaning winds

Emotions are unraveled in the purest state


A penetrating gaze targets my deepest point

Descending in dialog with my hiddest secret

Loving eyes absorb me intensely

A reason I adore you immensely

Thirsty for your celestial hue

My once ruffled sea

Becomes now a calm blue
