WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID

What you've just said
Was like a drop of water
On a hot pan.
Sizzled at first, then gone.
It was like the waves, delirious
But just before hitting the rocks,
Sadly withdrawn....
What you've just said,
Could have changed my mind,
Could have made me cry,
If you had only chosen a different day
And had the courage
To look me in the eye....

BACK TO THOSE DAYS

When I was a kid, about four or five,
I used to lie under the plane tree
And close my eyes to the sun.
As the zephyr was kissing my face,
I would watch the flickering dance of the shadows
Against the blood red lace.
Oh, that was so much fun...
I don't have a plane tree anymore
And the wind is not as gentle as it used to be,
But when I close my eyes,
I find myself
Lying on the same old spot,
And all the memories suddenly fade in,
All the memories I thought I forgot.
When I close my eyes,
Back to my tree, back to my sun
Back to those blameless days
Time flies....

LOTS TO SAY

Maybe I have lots to say
Regardless of what you may think,
But I keep them to myself... for now.
It has to be autumn,
Probably a cool afternoon,
Just after rain...
Above us,
A clear sky with the perfect moon...

Maybe I have lots to say
Regardless of how you may react,
But I keep them to myself... for now.
You should be wearing your favorite shirt,
Probably the red one,
Then possibly,
The words will escape from my mouth
One by one...

Maybe I have lots to say
Regardless of what you may do,
But I keep them to myself... for now
We should be sitting in a cafe
How about some candles and a bottle of wine?
As the flames hesitating on your face,
I will come up
With the perfect line...

Maybe I have lots to say
Regardless of how you may feel
I don't know when, I don't know how
So, I keep them to myself....
For now....

IT IS TIME

It is time
I have to sit down alone, and think,
Just to defy my mind.
Sit down and think,
Scrape every wound,
Poke every cell that turned blind...
It's time, I know,
Time to blast my soul
Wither all the complaining
It is time.... it is time...
While I am still hot
While it is still raining...

NOT COMPLICATED

It is not as complicated as you might guess
Don't worry,
Just leave me here, where I am exactly,
Right on my chair
While I am ordering another drink
You turn your back and go home where you belong to
Lie down on your lonely bed...
Then think...

And as you play the last tune to your four walls
Staring through your empty frame
I will blow out the candle in front of me
And put off its little flame....

WHEN YOU TOLD ME WHAT YOU TOLD ME

When you told me what you told me
I cut the last string
holding my heart
I gave permission to my fingers
to touch your smile...
And
when you told me what you told me
I couldn't wait even a while
to strip the veil
and tell you how much I love
the way you bite the side of your lip
Oh... that little detail....

I CAN'T HELP

I can't help,
I have to stare at your eyes,
just to catch that look,
that look nobody can see...
the look of ardor,
the look of lust.
I have to stare,
I must...

I can't help,
I have to touch your hands,
accidentally.
while passing the book
or walking on the street side by side.
Just to imagine
how they would hold mine,
how they would embrace
just to imagine,
your fingers
brushing my face...

I can't help
I have to hear your voice,
listen to every word you say, carefully.
watch the way your lips move
with every sentence they whisper
with every letter they create
Your lips,
hiding away those kisses
those kisses, I await...
