Ahhhhh it’s all in the eye


The answers 2 all Life’s why’s.


But I C only one

The other eye my dear soul is now the sun.


So shine on me.


Lay some life’s sweet wine on me.


And let me drink dearly.


Ahhh. Dear Life, I am drunk, well almost nearly.


Ahhhh.
Dear heart I can C in your eyes my soul
Mmmm.what a miracle life is…..I C the whole.


I am no longer just a part
Ahhhhh. U R the beat and I am the heart.


What is life, without U in my life, Dear Eyes?
What is summer rain, without summer skies?
I have lived a shallow and barren life.

Embrace me in your warm
And cut away the winter
And the shallow with your kind knife..

And then let me roll

In the love in your heart
And the prayers in your, soul.


Ahhhh.
Dear Life, I am drunk, well almost nearly
From the fragrance in your love, clearly.



LOVE U SWEETNESS

DEAR CARLA

GOOD MORNING


I realised something today
we all share the core
Like the waves in the sea
Sharing a common, shore.

And then we have the outer rings
that makes us all separate things.

What we believe
how we think
like different shades
of the same, ink.

It’s these outer rings
that adds or takes away.
Now that’s something I need to
Understand today.

The courage, the character
the passion
the intensity
Decide whether we stay lightweight
or gain density.

The fullness, the richness
the balance in hue
we only get
what is due?

The dreams, the destiny and the past
whether we are winners, or just average
or last.

Its theses rings of differences
that decides
what roads we travel
And whether we’ll have, an easy ride.

In life only one thing is sure
Love only enters those lives
that opens doors.

Each ring is really
A seed
Created by karma,
By our,
Deeds

LOVE AND WARM
BIRI

Ahhhh.
Dear Heart,

Life is showering

Flowers on my, soul.


Mmmm the fragrance

That was missing

Is now here….


.
I feel whole.


Springtime only comes

When all the fragrances

Are complete.


Ahhhh.
The Blossoms

When the petals

And the fragrance, meet.


Ahhhh.
How you Spring me

Like a Breeze, you sing me

love

Ciao meraviglia.
Bentrovata in Italia!
Sì, è da un bel po' che non ci sentiamo, e mi sei mancata: a ulteriore "purificazione" personale è seguito trasferimento a Roma, dove ora vivo. Ho intanto saputo delle tue bellissime nuove realizzazioni, che m'hanno reso un sacco contento. Passi da queste parti..?
In attesa di incontrarci (e di riuscire a fare qualcosa assieme), un abbraccio caldocaldo dal cuore, dal Tevere e dal mare,
