LISTEN CAREFULLY

Listen carefully...

not only the words I say,

but also the silent ones,

the ones I speak with my eyes

my hands,

my skin.

Listen carefully...

what my body asks from thee,

if your touch

or the fusion of souls,

if a caress

a kiss

or simply a hug.

Listen carefully...

but if the doubts assault you,

don't you worry my love.

Just look deep in my eyes

and you'll know what to do.
