My ocean of love

I yearn to wake and pour my ocean into the parched cup of my lover’s sands. As the sunlight filters through the curtains, I imagine the golden rays gently caressing his bare skin, awakening him to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Lasciando l’aria prendere spazio

Lasciando l’aria prendere spazio, si espande un senso di presenza accanto a sé stesso, in un luogo dimenticato, inseguito da antichi sentimenti fugaci. Si piega all’interno di cavità fiorite, lanciando possibilità di un futuro incrollabile, attualmente assente a causa della nostra stessa distruzione. Sospiro, fuori, perché le mie viscere sono occupate da paesi stranieri chiamati pensieri, miele dall’alveare, che impollinano tutto l’inquinamento, modificano tutte le verità in bugie. Eppure, all’interno di tali paradossi, rimane il filo della libertà. Seguo il filo nel nucleo di qualcosa di più della follia, al di là delle ombre della tristezza estiva che spuntano come … Continue reading Lasciando l’aria prendere spazio

Confessionnel à 01h07

Aujourd’hui, je me confesse, mon âme est à nu, dévoilée, telle une robe démodée. Elle a été arrachée de mes os, dévorée et régurgitée comme un plat interdit, consommé trop précipitamment. Aujourd’hui, mon âme est blessée, ravagée… Les tourments de la vie ont laissé des cicatrices profondes, des marques indélébiles sur mon être. Les épreuves ont ébranlé ma foi, ont fait vaciller mes convictions les plus profondes. Je me sens déchiré, brisé, comme si mon essence même avait été mise à mal. Dans ce confessionnal solitaire, à cette heure tardive, je déverse mes peines, mes regrets, mes remords. Je me … Continue reading Confessionnel à 01h07

Sailing …

In my entire existence, I have found myself submerged in an ocean of tears, seeking solace from the divine. I have navigated the turbulent waters, rowing ceaselessly against the currents of life, yet losing sight of whether I was rowing against or for my own desires. Like a weary sailor, I cast my anchor when it was time to depart, only to find myself leaving when it was time to find stability. In this tumultuous journey, I have known the pangs of both hunger and excess, oscillating between scarcity and abundance. I have endured the illusions of mirages and the … Continue reading Sailing …
