Fiorisci

Fiorisci

Nel mio sorriso

Cui, ho deciso,

Non troverò mai posto

Così sempre sarai

Il lampo che mi apre

Alla viva vertigine.

Insegnami

Tienimi le spalle
Sull’orlo di me io cado
Sorda di urla
Mi serve tempo per distinguere
La linea di suoni
Che disegna una storia.
Insegnami a prenderla tra le mani
Senza paura
E farla mia.

Love beyond love

Love,

knowing that the one you love

may not be here tomorrow,

knowing that today

may be your last day to truly meet,

knowing that you cannot know

how the story ends.

Care, care deeply, care until it hurts,

care in spite of what people say,

in spite of ridicule and rejection

and being misunderstood,

care so much that you no longer care

what happens to you.

Sink, sink willingly,

into this bitter-sweet mystery of love,

never knowing what love is and loving anyway,

like a fool, like a fascinated child,

like a madman,

like one who has forgotten how to be cynical,

or how to be right.

Love until your voice trembles,

and your heart pounds,

and your legs shake,

and your philosophies crumble to dust,

and your cleverness bows its head in shame,

in reverence.

 

And you will be taken to the darkest places,

and your heart will be set on fire

by the ones to whom you were never able

to open your heart,

and you will be reminded

of what you have always, secretly, known:

that in time, you will forget everything,

except how to die, and how to love.

That night #1

That was the night

I stared at the Moon,

As my end unveiled.

Dispossesed of my own steps,

Going by a lost name,

A homeless vagabond

A hopeless yearner,

A sliver of radiant love,

Ready to mourn

The future I had lost.

A message

Still, you haven’t learned

To undie.

You gasp in raised hands

And burn in silence.

You choose burdens

And leave lovers.

You set fire

To childhood dreams.

You set borders,

To turn hugs in fears.

You reclaim space

In your lonely place.

You claim kindess

But step on respect.

You value your life

Like a market good

The more you raise your price

The more you lose love.

Poor boy, has nobody told you

Everyone will die someday?

So why are you dying every day?

Haven’t you told me you had chosen life?

To be alive, you need to learn

To undie.

 

Your voice

There is a holy sound

in your voice.

It shines upon every other note,

like an harmonic rising

from a sacred bell,

in a holy temple,

on a hallowed ground,

where a solitary monk is taking his vows.

Cracked

Sometimes

The world shows its cracked core

An abyss of horrors, violence and bones

There is nothing to be done

Someone waits, someone jumps

Today I stood still and stared

As your eyes turned black

And I forgave you.

Miracle

Tonight the wind is carring me your smell

of wood and rain,

as I knew it that night

we fell in love

and made it miracle.

When we opened our hearts of stone

to share warmth in the cold,

we witnessed a miracle.

I know you have to go, but make it slow.

I know you want to leave,

but let me give you some love.

May we keep safe down deep inside

the love we saved from the night,

it was such a miracle.

We were just two lost souls,

sharing love in the cold,

and witnessing miracles.

 

Is there something more worth to live for

than let our spirits grow old, in love?

 

Will you be like I belive you are?

Will I live after we say goodbye?

May you learn to lose me

May you learn to lose me

and forgive yourself.

I’ll abide to the habit

of missing you.

May you gain your freedom

by forgetting my name.

I’ll abide to the habit

of missing myself.

I’ll abide to the habit

of bringing you back.

Diversa

Io sono diversa, sì
Perché mi piace mescolarmi ai mendicanti
Ospitare vagabondi
Rimanere scalza su qualsiasi terra
Dimenticare il linguaggio
Della mondanità.

Io sono diversa, sì
Perché amo l’inquietudine
E la quiete assoluta
Nessun equilibrio mi attrae
Che non sia un bilico di
Cadute libere e rarefazione.

Perla

Chiudi gli occhi e attraversa
Questo confine ruvido
Fatti mani morbide
Fatti voce di seta
Raccogli ogni raggio
Che affiora sulla lingua
E disfalo dal fondo.
Tra le maglie sottili
Uno spirito straniero
Ti offre una perla.

How is it going?

How is it going?

It’s going between anxiety and 40 degrees

dreaming of the sea

of a place I want to be

which is not here

no not here

here I face my desease

my fears still teem with

broken dreams

oh i reedem while you leave

do not anchor me to your feet

cause i do not, no I do not need to belive

your fucking shit.

Unspoken

May your breathing be honored

as the unvoluntary sign

of a pure existence,

of an innocent life

behind your lies

and your vile violence.

You are a treasure in the skin of misery

a miracle, unspoken.

What you didn’t get

 

You were walking

in a sacred place

but you didn’t even get that.

You were baptized

in the water of my soul

but you didn’t even get that.

I worshiped you like a god

but you didn’t even get that.

Now

you are not the only one no,

you are not the only god.

I’m not a monotheist monogamist

anymore.

Not a rocker

That’s it ,

I am not a rocker.

I wish I was,

but I can’t help myself but being soft

and sweet and sad,

as a broken glass

that whispers love away.

Battle

I had to tame my love for you.

Like a feral beast, it wakes up sometimes,

lesser and lesser now,

and breaks me in pieces.

I have to kneel and wait

for it to calm down,

eyes on fire and thunders in its mouth.

I’ve been scared and freezed

I’ve tried to close my eyes and breathe,

just breathe all the love and all the pain out,

to make it a whiff of stars.
