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.

Red Wine Romance.

Dreaming whilst awake, no longer in need of slumber, as one touch or caress from you is enough to make me crack then crumble.  Floating blissfully on my own butterflies' wings, you are quickly becoming my everything.  You hold the brush artfully as you paint my canvas filling it with colour, and my heart agrees that you are unlike any other lover.  Sorceror skilled as you leave me breathlessly thrilled, no longer in need of jagged little pills, you've come in for the kill turning this predator into your prey.  Like turning water into red wine, you intoxicate me in every way when skies are grey.  Chianti kisses that flavour my tongue, you shot my apathy down and left me yearning, burning, hotter than a smoking gun.  Although my initial reaction was to run, your predecessors have been outdone, hooked on you now like you just might be the one.  Call me mother Earth, as I orbit you just like the sun.  Dye my chardonnay with your shiraz, then fill me with your jazz, add a spring to my every step as I quickly become more adept. Drowning in desire, I shed the weight of my past the more you make me perspire, racing to the finish line, you are the admired air inside my tires.   Fumbling towards ecstasy, the light becomes more clear as I tumble; with each sip I take of you, I wisen and become more humbled.  

Ice Age.

Heartbreak, sorrow and grief transcended led me to the path that meandered in your direction, flying above the sky on the back of a bird called bliss, you are the closest yet to perfection, I can feel it in your kiss.  Your brown eyes make me glow from the radiant heat and love that I see reflected inside, I saddle up and grab the reins, more prepared now than I've ever been for any other ride, hopefully this one devoid of pain.  Like kerosene, you looked at me and I was set ablaze like gasoline.  Relieved to be reignited as I thought I lost my light and that my prose would remain unrequited.  My flammable heart burns brazenly inspired by your scent, as my spirit moans crazily from your manna, you are truly Heaven sent.  Suddenly, the gears in my mind race again, sending blood and your name coursing through my victorious veins.  Virulent love infects me making me glow from the inside out, although I try with great effort to keep my guards up and devout, you have already replenished me and saved my endangered terrain from its dire drought.  Drenched in you, new life grows in what I believed had become a barren wasteland, just from one look or the slightest touch of your hand.  Drowned in sweat, dripping from our heads and slowly trickling down, we dance as passion and pleasure become the first new inhabitants of my heart's ghost town.  My thirst slaked, you slayed the fire-breathing dragon that threatened to devour me whole, tortured artist syndrome as I felt I needed to be in despair in order for my words to flow, forgetting that states of ecstasy also watered the seeds helping them blossom and then letting them grow, intrigued that all you had to do was put your lips together and blow.  Although my past followed me attempting to infect us with the venom spit by others' bias judgments, I adore you for giving me the benefit of the doubt and avoiding falling prey to their misguided grudges.  Winter cold heart of mine has thawed, even as remnants of my past ice ages may still remain, let me in and I will be the heat and vitamin D that feeds your brain.  As I continue to melt, I will do to you what spring does to the cherry trees, caress you when the world is unkind, as my fragrant breeze brings you to your knees in adoration.  Summer's sun will bring us closer,  I will have no more need for hibernation as our love will come full bloom after spring showers, we will be surrounded by the most bountiful gardens of flowers.  In Autumn, we will fall again; my leaves made colourful by your sweet surrender, thank you for coming, your arrival might just be my number one contender.  

Reanimation.

Oxytocin sweet when I knocked you off your feet, not familiar with defeat, I craved you like a carnivore craves meat.  Not sorry for not concealing my conceit, but I cannot help but think about us between the sheets, and I know that I will be like a cat in heat until we kiss then complete.  Playful but passionate as two become one, my Earth orbits your sun, breathe new life into me, do me but I will not be outdone, I always play my cards right until I have won.  Batter up now baby, we will not stop until we have hit a homerun, I will leave you stunned, like a virgin, once again you will feel undone.  Cashmere caresses that will make you feel at ease, at peace as if you were sailing the seas, my lips as soft as a summer breeze, lay back and let me love you until you are pleased.  Tingles up your spine and down to your knees, surrender as my army enters your castle like a siege, until you shiver with sheer pleasure as you are seized, unlocked now by my keys.  Come with me as we soar above the skies soaked in sweat and synchronized, look into my eyes and let yours reflect the lust inside.  Sail with me into the sunrise as your pleasure produces my pride, these highs elevate me more than any other ecstasy could ever provide.  You occupy then dominate my dreams, you are my dopamine, more sensual than Mary Jane dressed in the best shade of green, twice as soothing when I inhale your scent, your fragrance is sinfully serene.  Better at keeping me awake than cocaine or caffeine, I am now your kingdom and you are my queen, fill me with your fantasies no matter how obscene, then let me devour you as you have quickly become my favourite cuisine. Serotonin seduces my sanity as I am overcome with innocent infatuation, adrenaline courses through my veins forever fascinated, disarmed by all you have done to me though there is no need for evaluation, you have brought me back to life, I have been reanimated.
