Goodbyes

Tenuous touches in the airport lobby,
Enveloped in hugs and painful kisses
Where lovers say their goodbyes,
Soon to be separated
By a too vast sky.

The world is beautifully infinite,
And yet its vastness is cruel sometimes,
When it curses two people
To be lonely, longing for each other.

So the story goes,
Certain travels bring us
Joy and pain – little needles
Remind us we are alive…

But love, nonetheless,
Can bear anything
Can grow through
Space and time
And can survive
Any terrifying,
Cruel, beautiful, distance.

Cat eyes

Your eyes,
So alive into the night.
Detecting every step I take
Wanting to be present,
To swallow in every moment.

And I see your gazes from your
Hiding places
Almost synchronised
Spying on me
And then rewarding me by purring
At my touch with your fur.

And I take in every emotion
From my encounter with you
All the wonderful flavours of your
Warmth, and affection for me
The smell of innocence and cheekiness
Imbued in your soul.
In that very moment
We are one,
One vehicle of true love.

Anatomy of the man I love.

Your heart is…
A poet sky
Blended in shades of cobalt blue and clouds,
The corner of a smile
pierced by a sunset,
Inevitably melting in flattering blushes.

Two eyes, two windows into the infinite,
Counting sleepless nights
Spent whispering about our dreams,
Ideas, all the books we’ve ever read,
and the paths we have yet not walked.

Spontaneous as a summer storm,
Wrapped in simplicity and silence
-You always are-
A mysterious blend of love and intelligence
Fell on earth to fulfil my story.

Polaris

Morges, station
A day like many
The temperature slightly lower.
She grabs his arm
He turns his head,
And kisses her.

Ring a Ring-o’Roses
They float…
For a moment
You wouldn’t say
They are still on this earth.

They look young
and happy,
As happy as one could be
After meeting Love.

Now they take each other’s hand
And walk together
Towards their future.

I sit in my balcony looking at them
Passing by,
And I think of you
Light of my days…

You’re shining through every constellation.

Moonlike

You tell me I look like the moon
Tonight, silverish in the corners of my
Eyes…
And you are like a distant planet
I try to reach
With sighs and kisses…

Sometimes I wonder whether
I will ever meet you again
In space,
If we’ll ever hang out on a black hole shore
if we‘ll be forever lost
In gravity.

Then I look into your eyes
And I only can see
Infinite stars.
Somehow my void feels
Less scary when you’re starry.

Strawberry love

I picked the sweetest of them all
Half bitten love
pouring out of him.

Red velvet over my lips,
A taste of scented desire and innocence
Trapped in a pair of bohemian eyes.

We met among the strawberries
Out of season,
Both of us.

We returned to the origins
Together
In the fresh spring mist.

Hand in hand,
Not to lose each other,
A wonderful adagio, piano-forte.

What a miracle can it be
Tasting one’s soul
On someone else’s skin.

What about love?

So, what about love?
The wholeness and the emptiness
In one’s heart
The search, the wait, the joy, the pain
And then the peace
Or the storm
In the turmoil
Of one’s heart.

To be scared
To find
The fire
Or the ice
In the loved’s eyes

To give and not to receive
To be happy for a time, and then no more
To check the length of eternity
To see if it’s worth the price
But then again, it’s too late
And you’ve already sold
Another bit of your soul.

Or to love and be loved
And taste happiness,
So sweet
Despite all the “what if”
And the fears that it
Might not last.

And yet, if it doesn’t
It still was worthy, maybe
Or it will be so we can
Fall in love one more time
Tomorrow maybe,
Even today,
Just looking at the sky
And in people’s eyes,
Asking questions
Reading gestures
Gifting beats of one’s own heart
And being ready to embrace others’.

Poetry

Please,
Lend me your words
To fill this world
With beauty
A relentless cascade of
Feelings, and petals
Inside out

Tell me the truth
I don’t want to hear
Show me the true face
Of my humanity,
And the beauty of it.

Make me fall in love
Again and again
With everyone ready
To receive my love

Let me be attuned,
An open heart
Opening other hearts
With swords of smiles
And breaths, and silence
And strophes, and tears

And all it takes to open the ears
Of this world
To make it beating
And bleeding
Alive
Again.

(I loved you)^2 = G(me*you)/r^2

I loved you twice:
I carried our love,
For both of us
And loved you with a pregnant heart.
Pregnant of the pain I felt
For missing you,
Carrying the emotions of our
Story, our memories, of all
The landscapes and the soundtracks
Of our lives.

It has been tender, and terrible at times,
A mathematical formula
Ending in shared spaces
And endless nights
Spent thinking of you, of us.

And I have been feeling double,
Double the pain, double the joy
Grounded as the gravity,
With a centripetal heart.

It has been hard
To stand still
Looking at you sleeping,
Dreaming your dreams
So beautiful, and yet so different
From mine.

I am returning from a journey
Abroad from my conscience now
To tell you how much I love you
And yet, how much I miss
Falling in love
In circular motions,
with you.

And then he kissed me

And then, he kissed me
And it was fire
Sun, moon, stars, planets
The whole universe
Concentrated
In each molecule of my skin.

Sea eyes
Landing
On the shore
Of my senses.

And it was night…
Deeply night
That kind of night
In which two are alone,
On a bench,
Just the two of them,
A starry sky,
And nothing else…

And it was night,
A secret night
That kind of night
Containing multitude of
Stories, silences and dreams.
