Everything is confused in Rome, at night

Anniversary

(Listen to the short step of the things)

[Photo taken in May 2014]

You touch profiles
Of a long series of signs
With your hands
They are memories.

The Stendhal Syndrome

Someday I stopped somewhere to stare art pieces

In European hushed museums
Will I see you?

Kiss Me Alot

A Memory

(Porta San Sebastiano / Porta Appia)

[Photo taken in March 2010]


Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot
Kiss me all over my face
 Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot
 Kiss me all over the place
 Kiss me a lot, kiss me a lot
Kiss me all over and then when you've kissed me
Kiss me all over again [Moz]

Images & Words - 260 - Spring

Images & Words - Primavera

(Spring in 'The New Life' by Dante Alighieri)
[Botticelli's Primavera is a photo I took in the Uffizi Museum - Dec 2011]


Dante saw coming towards him a lady who was very famous for her beauty, her right name was Joan; but because of her comeliness she was called of many Primavera (Spring). Then looking again, he perceived that the most noble Beatrice followed after her. And he gave to Beatrice his own name: Love.
With this in mind he composed the poem that ends with the verses I included in the picture above.

Creative Challenge - In The Beginning

In the beginning the light was dazzling and sharp
Little by little it became warm and silent
To soothe my soul

Just in case Multiply will really close ;-)


Creative Challenge #232 - Nature

(De Rerum Natura)


I sit in front of the sea.

To look at the identical diversity of the waves,

How much madness they bring,

How much sweetness they give.

They are like human nature.
