Have you read the issue of Vanity Fair which celebrates the generation symbol of love that wins everything? A special issue in which it is told the affection, strength and tenderness that weld the couples of the old and often also of the new generations.
A truly special issue with its message of hope and beauty, which also led a reader to send us a love poem, written for the woman they love. “I’m eighty years old, I’m just a simple urchin with few studies but always passionate about poetry”, he wrote Raffaele. «Forty years ago I met Francesca. For the “Lovers’ Day – Valentine’s Day 2021”I wrote these lines for her. They are love verses that I would also like to dedicate to all the couples in the universe with the hope that every man, be it a street urchin or a man of letters, will become a poet for his beloved. With the hope that every woman will inspire love for her beloved ».
Taking up Raffaele’s invitation too, we want to urge all Vanity Fair readers to “become poets for the person they love”, by sending us their love poems, dedicated to the man or woman of the heart, at the address: [email protected].
Selected by the editorial staff, the signed poems will then be published on the site and – in some extracts – on the magazine’s social channels.
Are you curious now to know which delightful verses Raffaele dedicated to his Francesca? Find out here!
The “infinity” of an old urchin infinitely in love
Francesca,
your smile has always been dear to me,
always, always, and still the heart today
it penetrates me with such tenderness
what makes this eighty year old man
the disheveled youth of yore
that never seems to have passed, and I feel
still as then, as it is:
street urchin and student in love!
And every morning, when I wake up, just
I cross the sweetness of your face
I feel such a riot of harmonies
that everything in me rejoices and is renewed
despite the ailments, old age
and the miserable everyday things.
And I abandon myself in your smile.
Raffaele
