Prati, Roma, Italy….
When I say that I love Rome, I can’t emphasize it enough. My heart hurts thinking about the city, the rhythm of the sounds that the streets make. The passion of the language, and the taste of the air. Everything, calls home to me. It is the one place on planet earth that makes me feel like I want to stay.
One day, I will stay…

Osa…
Would I soften you for a moment
Would that moment define you
Define me
Follow the path I laid
Find me again
Cross an ocean to hold my hand
Hold me in your thoughts
Look in my eyes
There, you can see
Everything is true -
Inaspettati Attimi…
To stand
In front of you
To look
Into your blue
Hold your hand
Touch your face
Know joy
Feel
Believe
Be -
Because It Is…

Too Much Limoncello…
I look, but cannot find you
Not at the bottom of a glass
Or the base of a bottle
Not over the horizon
Nor with new lenses
I can’t fly to you
I can’t walk, or talk to you
I can’t hold you
You are goneBut, I see your smile
In the place
I promised you’d be
For all of my lifeHow you are, and always will be,
Everything… -
Thanksgiving…
Today I give thanks…
HE knows my heart
HE knows my soul
Though my presence or words may be meaningless to some…
Forgetful
Worthless
HE knows they are all of me
My gold
My everything -
Aspetto…

Over and over
And over again
I fell for himAnd though he wouldn’t
Though he couldn’t
He wanted to see me fall
To see my heart
A heart that beat for himAnd, so I wait
Maybe a lifetime
To fall evermoreC/F

Dignità…
The question should never be…
Why did she love?
She may walk alone
But she walks tall
Accepting truth
In a way, he never would-C F

Attraversato…
What is my word?
What do I know of myself?
Past the happiness of blessings
Past the fractures in my soul
What makes me go on?
Is it HIM?
He filled my heart
And, it was my heartbeat
That led me to the other side of the world
Where I sat alone
With empty hands
And, I felt my worth
And, I could walk no more in the world I created
It was there, that I fell to my knees
And, I prayed at HIS alter
In a foreign country that feels like home“Attraversato” is my word
Attraversato l’oceano a trovarmi -
Finale…
In the end, the only thing she had to hold, was the realization that he was beautiful in her eyes and heart.
