Emily (Aldo Quagliotti)

You grow and I get old

we swing as weeds get cut

your voice tones up, my hair turns white

the noise of days getting bye

becomes a signature on your diary

the digital involvement

pales at my return

when I hug you after months

and so much of you is upset

we throw our dice right in the middle

your revolution, my nostalgia

we whip our days ignoring

that time is selflessly marathon training

since we first met in mum’s belly

and you were smaller than a thought

than a fear, than a hope

and now you are the baby I wish I had

the pipe dream I sealed in a bottle

and poured in the sea of realism

Clips and Pages is an initiative to provide the writers with the opportunity to get published for free. We also try to come up with innovative ideas and new challenges in order to bring new ventures into the creative world that would give the writers a chance to work on and improve their skills.
