deeper than words

I want to grab you hard,
but yet soft enough for you
to melt in my arms.

sneaking around,
as if the other didn’t know.
only one is the real fool,
not the one on the receiving end.

no real trophy,
for the last man standing.
a consolation gift for trying,
respect yourself.
no one else will.

I see things,
must learn to keep quiet,
but be conscious of everything.

the impressions the heart makes
can have a long lasting impact.
even when it fades,
always there.

ti aspetterò
in un posto
dove l’amore
non conosce distanza.

thinking about the future
can make you miss out on the present.
but sometimes
the future is just more important.

I hold a grudge against no one.
time is the greatest equalizer for us all,
in due course all wrongdoings
render themselves insignificant
for those who seek
what is to be learned within.

I grab you from behind,
you fit just right.
leaving fingerprints on your hips,
my senses going crazy
with the smell of you.
my marks fading
long before you do.

that instinctive desire
to react as you innately would.
a burning rage,
flashbacks of a distant past
forcing its way into lucid dreams.
tamed is that desire in real life
small improvements
fueled by the acknowledgement
that someone’s childhood is in my hands.
