Works
Some verse by young Adriano Irala:
Crusade for the good life as a pilgrimWith a soul Aromas of sadness and loveA distant star shows me around on the roadAnd my nights poured into his pale radiance.I spent my dreams as high chimeraThrough life, through the painBoost my craft a wind of chimeraIn a charming island will be the conqueror.And live "my life, go" my way”And when fatigued, to its shore I lay,To sleep the dream that has nothing to disturb.Flower in my lips a tender smileAnd feel the kiss on the forehead of a breezeFrom the summit I could not reach distant.
