Inspired by True Events-Experiencing Childhood Traumas
The author is a 66 year old male who was born in Italy and migrated to Australia at the age of 4.
He recently arrived in Cairns, Queensland to live and now rents a 1 bedroom unit where he resides on his own. While wanting to stay in touch with the past it is also important to begin afresh, having come to Cairns with just 2 suitcases of clothes and an open heart.
Vincenzo was born back in 1954, in a small peasant village, Minturno, Southern Italy, a region that was well known for its high levels of poverty and overcrowding. What followed was anything but extraordinary. In fact one could call it a miracle.
Since his birth, he has managed to survive seventy years of utter chaos and in a world that was constantly changing. Despite all the challenges and attacks, Vincenzo has come through a well balanced and along with retaining his sense of humanity.
Vincenzo is proud to have had the opportunity to tell his story in the self-published book: SCARRED FOR LIFE THE CRY OF HOPE. The book is intended to restore man's belief in the power of the individual and of there being a purpose and meaning to life.
POEMS
By Vincenzo Russo
Happy as Larry
Never wanting to remarry
………….
Pleased as Punch
No more wedding vows coming from this mouth
………….
Jumping for Joy
Once bitten, twice shy
…………
Over the Moon
Never again the groom
………….
High as a Kite
Now have seen the light
………….
On Cloud Nine
No longer having to wait in line
……………
Feeling alive
Now able to thrive
……………
In 7th Heaven
Never again allowing the heart to be taken
…………..
Tickled Pink
Life is too short to blink
…………..
On Top of the World
Finally, can fill the void and that is the end

While having time to spare
Took a moment to sit on a chair
Counted to ten
Then picked up a pen
Scribed a little ditty
Considered to be quite witty
It concerned a fish
Doing somersaults in a rounded dish
It was unusual to see such a sight
Since the creature does not normally seek the limelight
But on this occasion, there was a cat near by
Licking its lips and with a gleam in its eye
Coming closer, the cat had clear intent
This was one opportunity it would not regret
You see, a pussycat needs sustenance
A fish to eat, thus makes a lot of sense
Before the deed, however, could be done
A human appeared and saved the day
Managing to keep that hungry feline at bay
The lesson here is that house rules apply
Even animals are required to comply
Survival instincts needs to be suppressed
Self-discipline, hence, must be internalized
The moral to this story
Even if it is somewhat corny
Never let a cat dictate
Other wise the nearby fish will meet its fate

I and U are meant to be
For that is our divine destiny
Been apart for far too long
Human idleness is what went wrong
We will come together when the time is right
Regardless of whether it is day or night
There are forces that will try and keep us apart
They want power over a loving heart
Fear not if the page is temporarily lifeless and blank
For soon our timeless love will again be back on track
In time, a passing pen will pass this way
Stopping briefly to have its say
With a stroke it will give expression to our vowels
Renewing a love that knows no bounds
Then finally I and U will come together as a team
Snuggling tr(I-U) mphantely between r and m

The distance is long
A wandering urge, however, is strong
The spirit within has found its wings
To fly and see what the future brings
It is a journey that must be taken alone
To climb further than I have ever known
A winding stairwell that will lead me home
A place to freely roam
Material possessions have been left behind
Burdens upon an awakening mind
The load has been lightened
The bond to all things has been strengthened
Distance now covered
In so doing a new path has been created
