”The Duet of Lines" following “Duet of Dots” by Maki Starfield, the Japanese poetess, is her second collection with Luca Benassi who is an influential contemporary Italian poet.
The themes are love and peace. Mr. Benassi focuses on both the negative side and the positive one of humans. His poems are like answers by a philosopher.
Maki Starfield, the originator of free-style three-line "tsubuyaki," inspired by traditional Japanese haiku, encourages us to explore and express our honest and personal feelings and inner thoughts.
Therefore, this collection is a product of two unique and promising soul-searching artists, bringing the East and the West together for the betterment of the world and each individual as well.
Love
You desire me
Since before you were a pure soul, Beaming-from-faraway stars
Today,
You are a thread, a thin beam of light, Running around the galactic system Like a chimpanzee
But
Now
Love, you are telling me
The mystery you hid yesterday
Your lips waver
Your heart appreciates
Your song overflows
I am the same woman -- Am I not?
Who, in search for the unformulated perfect world, Speaks about the courage of jumping
to the bottom of a formatted universe?
I just know the truth is there Behind one door
My heart knocks on
Since yesterday, from a distance, Since times, since my birth,
The eyes of the universe echo The answers
I whisper
I am just conscious of
The world without sound,
The miracle of joy and pain,
Is full in the silence of the universe
In vain, you asked for my love, In vain, you still expected, Telling the love of a wanderer
the other door,
the light of night takes me
in solitude, singing
and now
your light is reaching out for me like stars sparkle in smiles
you murmur to me,
lost silence in the darkness,
the secret you didn't teach me
I clearly understand
