LETTER TO MY BROTHER

To Salvatore
Beloved brother of the heart

You wrote my name on your skin
and I engrave yours in my heart.
You were born beautiful, only to die so young.
But I know you live in my heart
and in that of all the others who have known you
because they would never have said no to your existence.
Why are you far away and I feel you so close?
Why so much suffering when you were here?
I never could tell you I love you
with the importance I now give to Love.
I couldn’t write to you and give you anything
to make your life more beautiful
like you, you gave it back to me.
I hope someday, you will leave in me
some of your light
the same one that enlightens you making me blissful.
As are all the Angels
because I’m sure…
