Poetry!

Here’s your regular dose of poetry, with love, from me.

Consider sharing this with your loved ones

~ Between ~⁠ ⁠

Sitting there 
Between wanting you 
And saving you the trouble
Between feeling good
And honouring the truth
Between having you
And sparing myself my fears
Between loving you
And letting you love yourself ⁠

---

~ Outside ~⁠ ⁠

Four walls around you
Only a line to the outside
You’re gasping for air
Your freedom denied

Your hands are shaking
You don’t know what to do
Calling home from the other side
All is quiet 
That scares you too

You scream you cry
It feels like you’re tied
Stop fighting what’s new
The real outside is inside ⁠

---

~ Last time ~⁠ ⁠

Love is infinite 
And so are we
Let’s make love 
One last time
Die together 
To be born again free ⁠

Song pick

Ready for some melancholic tunes? You want to sit down, turn the lights off and light up a candle (or something else) for this one.

What I’ve found in Bologna

So earlier this week I was walking through the city centre streets with some friends when one of them pointed me out to something on a wall… looked like some old advertisement, some scrapped piece of paper… the yellow light of the city lights wasn’t showing me old scraps of papers… it was poetry.

Here’s some for you (in Italian):
