      Love poems in dark times

      I dreamed of snow

      Of love and of rage in a time of war

      Your eyes are the absinthe

      I'd like to touch your existence

      Poetry of a love that never was and never would be

      Our bodies met in a late afternoon

      Like virgin snow on my heart in flames

      The projection of the memory of a desire never ridden

      May you be

      Catharsis

      The exile

      The purple flower of love

      My true face

      Above this bed of dying leaves

      I would like to give birth to something here where everything dies

      Courage love let's dance

      We drank wine in empty evenings

      In the beginning, inside the skin.

      Like in a game of Chinese shadows

      The kiss

      Your hair dark as a moonless night

      I left your scarlet nails

      In the boundless green prairies

      The wet and white sheets ​of our sweet despair

      The ferocity of our love

      The night was crying

      Promise

      Her skin smelled of anarchy

      The autumn of our life

      Summer in Winter

      Who are you?

      Who we are

      The night was an orchid

      My name

      Frail Butterfly

      This night, only for you

      In cold tears of the night

      The end of the world

      My wings expanses to hug you

      Horizon moon

      I'll wait for the autumn

      Origami

      Last night of love

      On a bed of sharp roses

      Creatures of night

      Vertigo

      The flower of love

      Don't leave me

      Farewell

      The veil of nothing

      Light

      The therapy of our love

      The astonishment

      In their quiet embrace

      A sweet instant for an eternity

      Night

      Full

      Darkness

      I will shine

      Sadness

      When...

      Stranger

      An instinct of resignation

      Razor blades of boredom

      The shudder of our suffering

      In all the bodies I’ll love

      The poison of your love

      Like stripped angels

      The city shadow

      Space Passenger

      The purple-eyed boy

      Ian

      Red moon

      Please, don't cry

      The crystal glass of my lost love

      Last day of autumn

      The memory of our love

      Contacts

      The book

      All the passion and all the mistery, all the joy and all the pain, all the darkness and all the shine of an heart who restless beat to follow the loves of a lifetime are collected in these love poems.

      The author

      Born in Rome in 1975, Stefano Mannucci graduated in the Faculty of Political Science at the University La Sapienza in Rome with a thesis about the photographic production of the Institute Luce. After collaborating with some magazines and Contemporary History sites, it began to publish several essays about photography during the years of World War II, the period of Italian colonialism, the history of the Istituto Luce, trying to find in the official photographs those details and clues that describe the social reality beyond the propaganda message. He is also the author of several short stories, a
