London in the Morning!

London. Sunday. Early in the morning. The city is still deeply asleep. Silence. No sound. No voices. No cars. I can only hear the bells of a church ringing in the distance. Such an overwhelming feeling. Bells.. ringing.. Ding dong ding dong. Walking through the park. The sun is timidly emerging from under the clouds. Lukewarm rays on my smiling face. Energy. Few people around. Some joggers. Some tourists with their map and their camera in the hand. Some policemen riding their horses. Smell of croissants and coffee beans. London. Sunday. Early in the morning. A different city. Almost like a little village. Untouched. Charming. Harmonious. Alone. In the middle of the park. Sitting on the grass. Looking at the pond. I close my eyes and I breathe. A long deep breath. In. Positivity. Joy. Gratefulness. Strength. Out. Worries. Fears. Disappointments. Sadness. London. Sunday. Later in the morning. The city is slowly coming back to life. Families out for a walk. Breakfast together. A dad gently holding the hand of his little daughter while explaining her the name of the different animals in the ponds. Duck. Swan. Frog. More tourists. More maps. More cameras. Few cars driving by. The sun is back behind the clouds. Grey sky. The little village is turning again into the active busy London. My walk is coming to an end. A quick espresso before hiding myself into the library. Silence. Again. Artificial silence. Artificial lights. I am surrounded by books. My life in the next month. Getting lost between the shelves of this library. No other thoughts. No other fears. No other plans. Say goodbye to my social life. Say goodbye to promises. Say goodbye to lies. Say goodbye to late nights. Say goodbye to anger. Say goodbye to expectation. Say goodbye to London. For a while. Just a little while. A presto!

SONG: "She wanders"

She still believes in fairytale.. She lives in a world made of dreams.. She wanders around looking for an answer.. But the answer is yet to come..and so She wanders..wanders..wanders.. Looking for a way out. Looking for a steady hand. Looking for an anchor. Looking for the place where the answer lays. The answer lays. The answer lays. Deeper and deeper and deeper in her heart. Deeper and deeper and deeper in her soul. She is afraid too afraid to jump. She is afraid too afraid to look. She is afraid too afraid to find her way. And so she wanders..wanders..wanders.. Until she get completely lost.

Taglietto nell'anima

avevo parlato qualche settimana fa di una ragazza. e un ragazzo. una notte passata a parlare d’amore. lenzuola calde. baci sulla schiena. illusione d’amore. la ragazza ora e’ di nuovo sola. lei e la sua vita. e’ sola come non mai… eppure ha deciso di non voltarsi piu’ indietro e camminare guardando avanti. si ferma. riflette. pensa a quanto sia difficile distaccarsi dal passato. o meglio quanto l’idea di distaccarsi dal passato sia difficile. in fondo non lo e’. in fondo non c’e’ niente di piu’ facile di abituarsi a qualcosa di nuovo. la ragazza indossa una maglietta bianca, leggins blue navy e stivaletti rosa. fuori piove. il cielo e’ grigio. la sua amata citta’ sembra piangere quelle lacrime che la ragazza ha finito. seduta su un letto scrive. scrive. e pensa. e suona. e sorride. ha male ad un dente, e un altro taglietto nell’anima.

Stop it. Will you?

Stop it. Will you? Come on. Move on. Expectations? Never. Just a little bit naive. Shifting my focus from what is unnecessary to what that really matters. Again, living day by day. The past is gone. Yet I still feel trapped in good memories. This is where expectations stem from. from good memories. from thoughtless promises. from talking talking talking. It makes no difference how aware you tend to be. It is still hard to control your mind and keep it focus. On the contrary, it wanders around on a long long path. And you get to a point when it is almost impossible to go back. Few steps to reach the peak. The most strenuous steps. Climbing up. Slipping back. Looking for some fresh water where to quench my thirst. thirst for love. thirst for results. thirst for fulfilment. No need to look far. it is there. it is here. within my self. deep down. in my soul. it is there. the water i’m longing for. that water to quench my thirst. It is just a matter of moving on. come on. It is so simple...
