Poems for Julia

"Love does not exist beyond the hill,
it only lives here in your world, Julia."
  From Poems for Julia
reading poetry

Carmine Coppola has produced two complete volumes of poetry. His first work, Poesie per Giulia (Poems for Julia, translation by Saveria M. Torquato), tells the story of Julia, a story of a love to which everyone aspires but few achieve, told in a series of poems recounting scenes from a past full of life, love and memorable moments. Readers enter "Julia's world", a world of memories that unleashes strange sensations.

Traps of Love
I have cast my net, Julia!
I have cast it patiently and I await,
hopeful that, sooner or later, you will fall
in one of the many traps I have laid.
You will fall, inevitably, you will fall!
And so these moments of terrible silence
which for years torment me,
this solitude and murderous
tedium I will destroy forever.
Fall, Julia, you will feel no pain.
Mine are only traps of love.

The Roses
As the door opens
you will find only roses:
roses upon the ceiling,
roses upon the walls,
roses upon the windows,
roses upon the bed.
Inundated you’ll be
with the intoxicating scent;
for this they were made.
As you enter
the wind stealthily slips in.
and a shower of petals
red, white, and yellow
dance within the room
wherein lies my madness.
Upon the reddish armchair
partially hidden I will hold
in my hands the most beautiful,
and still they fall by the thousands,
by the thousands still.
You will gently caress me
as once you did.
Then. . .the words, ah, those words!
And so those thorns
one by one shall be
forever removed from my heart.
