Transcendence
Our love was forbidden throughout the ages, yet...
Nothing kept us apart...not even death.
For each last breath we took, our souls met again.
When our spirits met again, we danced.
We had a bond and a love that never faded
Transcending through time and space.
It's a love that's now forever sealed.

Stormy Peak (Maurizio Fachino, Alba (CN), 1978). In his first literary work, with a stylistic formula suspended between the epistles, the author tells the most intimate part of his innocent self in a frank and direct language. The selection of poems was born from the desire to give voice to his feelings, especially the memories sometimes difficult to remove except with the resolute will of the author to fight them and thus exorcise his inner demons.
Cima Tempestosa (Maurizio Fachino, Alba (CN) 1978). In questa prima opera letteraria, con una formula stilistica sospesa tra l’epistole, l’autore racconta la parte più intima ed innocente di sé con un linguaggio schietto ed immediato. La selezione di poesie è nata dal desiderio di dare voce ai propri sentimenti, soprattutto i ricordi passati a volte difficili da cancellare ma con risoluta volontà da parte dell’autore di combatterli e di esorcizzare così i demoni interiori.

To love someone but you can't have them... even if they love you back... is one of the hardest things in life to accept.
In Loving You is a collection of 52 poems that tells the story of Eeva Lancaster's love for a man she couldn't have. It is sad and painful, as the author shares her emotional journey and bares her pain and longing in her poems. In the end, Lancaster shares her hopes too, her triumphs and beautiful self realizations.
An excerpt:
Inside of Me
I hear the echoes of a sound so far away
I just don’t understand a single word they say...
I move closer so that I can better hear,
But when I do they always disappear…
I see the traces of a picture I have dreamed
But when I looked it isn’t what it seemed
Cause every time I made the colors flow..
I’m left with nothing but an empty show
I looked and looked and there at last I found…
A wondrous place with lots of wondrous sound,
There I have found the truth that set me free…
It wasn’t far, it’s just inside of me.
