Tilwima t'armonija

Kollox f’postu, f’armonija

Wara tilwima mwittija.

Kelma kelma iġġib il-oħra

Sewwa sew tqajjem argument.

Huma dawn mumenti ħelwa

Fejn minkejja li titlewwem

Issaħħaħ sew dik il-għaqda

Li teżisti bejn raġel u mara.

Il-Kitba stqarrija

Il-kitba misterjuża

Jafha biss il-ħsieb u ftit kittieba.

Kull kelma titnaqqax

Wara elf ħsieb li jiġerra fil-moħħ

Kull kelma li titniżżel

Eterna…

Kittieb jispiċċa, jinqered, jitmermer

Il-kelma imniżżla hemm tibqa’ u ssostni

Ħsieb qawwi u sod

Li darba nkiteb u nqara.

Il-kitba hi stqarrija ta’ ħsieb

Li kien jafu biss il-ħsieb u ftit kittieba.

A Melodious Streak

"I'd like to hear you play"
I said as our lives got by.
You pulled me along,
sitting on the bench of life
besides you.

You gave me a long love filled look
Then..., you turned to the keys......
your fingers flowed,
swiftly across the ivory,
and the room was filled,
with a personal composition;
so complex, so rich...
you played with awe,
as though, not only you,
you played so passionately...
I, so astonished, so amazed;
You, looking casually at me;
You asked:
"Do you like it?"
I closed my eyes
as I felt so insignificant
through the profusion  of notes
You played, but yet,
You looked into my eyes and said:
"You inspired me..."

Tears running down my cheeks
life was endless, black and mean
until you came into my life
with such a melodious streak,
and a joy for life
so tender, so sweet.

"I love you"
I uttered today and forever
till the days set us apart.

You are my life now
and for you love I bow in awe
For good and for bad times
but surely never for granted!

Rota tal-Ħajja

Fejn jien ma nafx
għaġġla sfrenata  

ġiri, kuluri, duħħan

oċejan maestuż  bla tarf...
arloġġ itektek
magna tal-ħjata tokrob  
drapp jintiseġ fi ħwejjeġ  

kalma, kuluri, kristall...

An Answer

Your smile was the beginning of a life unknown

My laugh was our first step down the aisle.

Your hand would be soon mine to hold forever.
Your forever is overflowing with love.
You endowed me with care and joy.

For me you are what was missing.
Your generosity was a question answered.
And my answer will always be “I do”.

Ismek

Ħarbixt ismek fis-sema;
Imma ir-riħ tajru l-bogħod.
Ħarbixt ismek fir-ramel;
Imma l-mewġ ħakkmu u ħassru.
Ħarbixt isemk ġo qalbi;
Fejn ser jibqa’ għal dejjem!

Aroma...Ritratt Passat

Fuq għatba ta' bieb ħadrani
fin-niżla tal-Kottoner,
mara bil-qoffa u kartell,
b'sikkina f'idha marell,
tħanxar u tnaddaf il-ħut.
Aroma mħallta ta' ħut
mat-traffiku għaddejj.
U n-nisa jieqfu jħarsu,
jkejjlu sew l-użin...
tgħid frisk dal-ħut jistaqsu...
bħal donnu kbir tassew.
Bejjiegħa tal-ħut
fuq għatba ta' bieb...
ritratt ta' Malta
fi żmien passat...
u t-traffiku għaddej għal rieħu...
isimgħu jħanxar il-ħorn sfrenat
arha tħanxar il-ħut!
