Desire

The desire opens us toward each other. It is the seed of love - but even if the flower may not come to blossom, if one can avoid the dark side of desire affection and appreciation can follow and stay.

This book is a poem about the desire. The author tries to speak out what he felt, expressing wishes and dreams, states of mind and observations, feelings. The poetry he writes has its own rules, relying not only on rhymes, but on more general correlations between the sounds of the words. The poem is a collection of independent stanzas which only become related in the overall context. Each stanza has only a few verses and is self contained. The paintings are more “moods” than “ideas”, they carry poetry in the same sense that verses carry images. They are like echoes to the verses, trying to enhance the latter. The attempt is to make poetry and paintings build a coherent whole.
