Give A Little Something

The Winds Beat Soft Wings, And Strayed

Come on to my house 
Come on and do something new 
I know you love one person so 
Why can't you love two? [Moz]

Hand In Glove

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

(And Eternity in an hour)

[Photo taken in Rome - May 2017]

No, it's not like any other love
This one is different, because it's us

I was tired again,
And I tried again
(and now my heart is full) [The Smiths/Moz]

I Pini di Roma

 [Rome, Nov 2016]

Passionate love
In any form
Whether real or a dream

[Moz]

The Burden of Beauty

What Is It?

(I'll take it)

 [Rome, Oct 2016]

Is it me? For a moment
The stars are falling
The heat is rising
The past is calling

[Who]

Let's take a break

I say no, you say yes

(and you will change your mind)

 [Trajan's Market, Oct 2016]

I left the South again

I travelled North again

I got confused - I killed a horse

You won't change the way I feel

[The Smiths]

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]

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people 
And I want to see lights

The kiss becomes sculpture

Let Me Kiss You

(Auguste Rodin in Milan)

[Photo taken in Milan, Jan 2014]

Two thousand years ago
On the banks of Tiber
Two lovers entwined
Sealed their lips with a kiss

The artist hand
Carved that act
On white marble

Picture Perfect: Vanishing Point

(From a Multiply post I did on Sep 29th, 2010)

[Photo taken in Rome with my Canon Powershot A720 IS - Sep 2010]

Last Saturday I had a long walk along this street.

I walked until the point that vanishes in a kiss,

Where the wind stops and the distance is meaningless.

Do you love me like you use to?

Along the Appia Antica road
Around the 4th mile
There is the grave of Hilarus Fuscus
It is 2,000 years old
An ancient monument to celebrate death
That witnessed the birth

Of a new Love
