Rome.

Roman empires could crumble from one look into your eyes, 
thankful to the Heavens for bestowing me with the greatest prize. 

Within a single month, Cleopatra and Marc Anthony 
would concede to their defeat, 
as our love story grows more elaborate, 
no contest for theirs, so weak and incomplete. 

In Pisa, you can lean on me, 
I will reciprocate your kindness that beautifies my soul. 
The romance I will endow on you in Venezia will be 
the missing piece that makes your puzzle whole. 

Help me blossom into a real boy in Firenzé like Pinocchio, 
as my heart opens wider to make more room 
for the most deserving prince that I will ever know. 

Your elusive Mona Lisa smile sends me sailing to the Amalfi Coast, 
as I become compelled to paint you, my next masterpiece, 
from your head down to your toes, I am engrossed. 

Make my way to the Vatican to see if it could be true 
that the Sistine Chapel pales in comparison to you. 

With one kiss, you bring me to my knees, 
pardonne me, amoré mio, 
but your breath makes me just as weak as the
warm summer breeze that stays with me everywhere I go. 

Float in me like I am a wondrous, winding Venetian canal, 
besieged as you become my muse, 
the very thought of you instantly boosts my morale. 

Let your opera become my dogma,
your arrival in my life is surely the fruit of my good karma. 
Sicily sweet, you make me flush from your heatwave, 
Calabria cool as I rejoice for all the reasons why you make me rave. 

The mutual respect and trust that you exude 
are the most valuable gifts that I have received. 
Millé grazi, for you have given me another resplendent reason to breathe.

Felt

Time stood still for nary a soul,                     it dragged its feet, aching and old.  Blistering heat that made us melt,  we were once softer than silk felt. Hallowed hearts wind whistled through, covered in bruises, black and blue. Hardly broken, but maybe bent, running on empty and love spent. There comes a day in all our lives, when our failures cut deep as knives. But you shall remain a triumph, you stayed with me, like a science. Words were whispered, curses, we'd shout, until the blood drained from our mouths. Yesterday—softer than silk felt; seems like all we do these days is yell.

Outer Space

Even in deep space, your love holds me down, Your embrace has weight, and keeps me coming, back around I was on track to be a tragedy, before we collided, like stars You give me gold, you give me gravity, and it's more than fancy cars I was a lonely planet on my own Now you are the sun to my moon I orbit you and feel at home. I was in ruins, but I'm brand new. No distance between us, could break us, or tear us apart. Not miles, or minutes, not even lightyears would be too far for my arms. You light up my galaxy, our universe exists inside my heart. Closer than the others, if I'm Earth, then you are my Mars. You keep me human, keep me golden, keep me green, and grounded. Give me freedom, give me healing, eclipse me, leave me astounded. Celestially, you are the best for me, I rest my chemistry, and let you undress me. Effortlessly, you impress me, effervescent, I'm obsessing. Astro know me, come explore me, Supernova, satisfy my celestial body, cosmo comet, asteroid showe...

Self-Awareness

  With each day I take for granted, I vow to appreciate the next, blessed with the opportunity to once again look, and feel my best.  With my feet firmly planted, my morals maneuver me through all the rest, as I have been granted another day to conquer the world and put my limits to the test.   Some may call me an idealist though I am as real as they come, as I refuse to succumb to the notion that we must all acquiesce to society's rules that really only just make us boring and numb.   I can paint my own destiny, I am the master of my domain, though my moods and momentum may change in an instant, I am grateful that they change at all, as my indecision shows I'm living, and still standing despite my many falls.   Others' attempts to understand me often leave them more perplexed than when they began, I am an anomaly and will not be mislabeled by any other man.   A human being, not one doing, I live and let live just as well, yet I am still often the...
