Hi.

In this letter you will find a selection of content reflecting different projects and productions I’ve been working on in the last couple of years. There will be a few poems featured in my upcoming book, an exclusive and more recent, poem, a preview of what the book will look like and an unpublished featured photo.

I hope you enjoy it.

Andrea

Poems from the book

Here is a selection of poems you will find also in my print book.

~ Everything I have ~

And I’d love you⁠
For whoever you are⁠
I’ve got nothing to ask you⁠
‘Cos I already have all⁠
Touch my freedom and I’d gift you⁠
All the life that I have ⁠
Right here, right now⁠
Nowhere⁠

~ Muse ~

The mirror
To one’s best life⁠
The spark ⁠
That starts a fire⁠
The wind ⁠
That keeps it alive⁠
The silence ⁠
That quiets the mind⁠
The only dance ⁠
I can desire⁠
The light I see⁠
Even blind⁠

~ Twice ~

Like winning the lottery twice⁠
Like getting hit by lightning⁠
A coin flip landing on its side⁠
The chances we had to lock eyes⁠

~ Meta ~

I didn’t write this song for you⁠
I didn’t write these words for me⁠
I didn’t write it for the lovers⁠
I didn’t write it for the dreamers ⁠
And even if you've never heard it before⁠
You already know the words ⁠
If you start singing you would see ⁠
That I didn’t write it at all⁠
This song has already been written⁠
Already been written by you⁠

~ The Wave ~

Our paths will cross⁠
Inevitably ⁠
For just a moment ⁠
Or for an eternity⁠

You know ⁠
Where I’m going to be⁠
I know ⁠
You’re going to be there⁠
Not sure when ⁠
Not sure where⁠
But sure still⁠

We’re going along ⁠
These paths of ours⁠
There’s no need to know ⁠
Anything more⁠
You won’t give notice ⁠
I won’t be waiting⁠
⁠
And then you appear⁠
Suddenly and fierce⁠
You’re coming towards me⁠
And I’m ready to pierce⁠

It’s going to be ⁠
For just a moment⁠
Or for an eternity⁠
⁠
We’re going to cross⁠
Inevitably, see?⁠
It’s only about ⁠
How we want it to be⁠
Will you be gentle ⁠
Or angry?⁠
Will I be brave ⁠
Or scared?⁠
We’re getting closer⁠
Still not knowing ⁠
One another

It’s going to be ⁠
For just a moment⁠
Or for an eternity⁠
⁠
What are we doing ⁠
What are we here for⁠
You’re not giving, you’re not taking⁠
I’m not needing, I’m not asking⁠
There’s only one thing we can do⁠
You show your strength⁠
I’m getting ready for it⁠

It’s gonna be ⁠
For just a moment ⁠
Or for an eternity⁠

All or nothing⁠
Jump or flee⁠
What awaits us ⁠
We will see⁠
⁠
