NEED TO REST

My love i need to rest,

but rest is an extension of your smile,

a mixture of your lips in my skin and your arms around my neck.

My love I need to sleep

but sleep are nightmares without your shoulder as a soft tender pillow.

My love…

ask for my autumn leaves dress so full of memories.

See how each one of them have a story to tell

and a smell of honey inside each letter.

Let me go …

to those far horizons

where the feelings have no name

and language is the softness of the skin,

the bright shine of the eyes

and the purchase of passion in every breath.

My love…let me go

but please lead the way.

Once we arrive

i will feed you with my autumn leaves dress,

till my nudity explodes in your arms.

Then I’ll be complete

and I can rest.
