I will have verses in my head, driving poems from you Or silence with hidden words Of love and rest. All that I did live for Is gone now And waves of tender bliss Land on my hands an chest With the sound of your kiss... |
And I will laugh at the music Hearing my song in you Or cascades of silent waters Clear vision of passion in depth. All that I fought for Is gone now And a breeze of happiness Brushes my lips and face With the looks of your caress... |
And I will breath all the life, My heartbeat locked in you, And my thoughts tied to your feet, Hoping to follow your fate. All that I sought for Is here now. And an answer to all the above Crushed on my body is now wrapping me With the perfume of your love. |

Giovanni is an Italian nuclear engineer. He lives and works in Rome and speaks and writes poems in many languages, among them English, French, Portuguese and, of course, Italian. I met him in one of the Geocities chat rooms a while ago and he told me that sometimes, at night, he can't sleep and when this happens, he writes poems, romantic and passionate, like a good Italian man. He has authorized me to be his "publisher" and as I have not found anyone that would edit his first poem book, I chose to use my web page to give him a chance until he gets rich with the royalties of his first best seller.
