#Quiet before the storm

English:

A small corner of green, a mirage in the big, gray city.
Sitting on a wooden bench, creaking, ruined by humidity.
Eyes closed, lulled by the sound of the rain against the umbrella,
wavy hair and face caressed, by a fresh new wind.

The rustling of leaves, the smell of wet grass,
wood on my fingers, the peace I longed for.
I open my eyes… gray sky, rays of light that cross the infinite ocean of clouds in dots.
No flowers, no bees, no birds, only silences and colors without makeup.

No warmth on my skin, no sweet floral scents, everything is sad and melancholic.
Anxiety rises.
A flash of lightning, followed by thunder, the drizzle was ending.
Dystopian vision, an approaching storm was preparing.

Heavy footsteps in the mud, the wind growing and ferocious.
It's time to go home, my mind plagued by a sudden voice.

Italian:

Piccolo angolo di verde, un miraggio nella grande e grigia città.
Seduta su una panca di legno, scricchiolante, rovinata dall’umidità.
Occhi chiusi, cullata dal suono della pioggia contro l’ombrello,
capelli mossi e viso accarezzato, da un fresco vento novello.

Il fruscio delle foglie, l’odore di erba bagnata,
il legno sulle dita, la pace tanto desiderata.
Apro gli occhi… cielo grigio, raggi di luce che attraversano a punti l’infinito oceano di nuvole.
Nessun fiore, né api, né uccelli, solo silenzi e colori senza trucco.

Niente calore sulla pelle, né dolci odori floreali, tutto è triste e malinconico.
L’inquietudine sale.
Un lampo, seguito da un tuono, la pioggerella finendo stava.
Visione distopica, una tempesta in arrivo si preparava.

Passi pesanti nel fango, il vento crescente e feroce.
È tempo di tornare a casa, la mente afflitta da un’improvvisa voce.

This is actually a poem I’ve wrote in Italian to help my girlfriend with a homework she had 😅 I will publish both the translated and original versions here.

Enjoy. I’d be glad to get a few reviews on this one :)

I love this!

#

im not the best critic but you use imagery so well

#

Did you originally write it in Italian or in English?

Was way too lazy to do it by myself

#

It kinda loses the soul of the poem by translating it but i thought it still was pretty good
