For You and For Me

Imprisoned in a body for many long years

Does one have any control over one's soul

Yearning for freedom beyond all beats

Rituals, commitments, feats, defeats ...?

What are they for the heart,

Inhaling spaces of the entire sky?

How can you ask a rainbow-winged bird

To try not to fly?

Talk of wider freedom to me -

If you can ...

Or else become my star

That I would long for

From afar

Night after night ...

And spend days blinding my sight ...

Be with me as often as you can

For you and you alone are my man ...

Tender and loving, noticing everything

A broken eyelash, a hidden tear

Holding me in silence, resting fear ...

Let my embrace reach out to yours

And stroke it but with a feather touch

Vibrating gravity, igniting thunder

Unleashing passion, discovering wonder

That of laughter floating with the music

Of dancing leaves

That of a heart in love

Gathering flowers

From the magic trees

That die not of autumn but sheer ecstasy ...

Real, boundless, raw, free from fantasy

Allow me, please, to fall like leaves

In love with life and you

Let me roll with the winds

Expressing my delight at finding you ...
