Saltwater Intrusion, and other meditations on 'home'

Take a Piece of Me

I don't want to be selfish

but I don't want to be alone,

I used to be the one who goes away

now it's time for things to change.

I'm afraid you broke my heart

with departures on your hands,

I'm upset because you are right

there's no way to avoid that time

and when the day finally comes

I must be happy, no sorrows,

I must treasure what was done

and with your kindness heal my wounds.

It's always hard to say goodbye,

please, take a piece of me right now,

taste the salty tears that fall,

drink the sweetness of my heart.

Please, enjoy yourself with me

and remember the experience of being here,

don't forget that you will live

forever in my memories.

Star Gazing

(31/08/2018)

The Sun rises up

and it’s time to face again

the secured truth

that you are with him.

Everyday I have to be strong

to tell myself that is not wrong,

that everything goes on

and my heart keeps beating up,

that I’m lucky for my life

and the precious time I have

here, where I’m not from,

it’s an opportunity from God.

I have to bless my path

and say that everything is all right,

keep telling me the story

that only ends until late night.

The only moment I have

when I can feel completely free

is well hidden in the line

of the horizon with trees.

I wish for luck, I wish I have

a strong will to dare,

I wish for a kiss

that won’t be again.

A shooting star cross

the sky at high speed

and for a moment is like now

I can fulfill my wish,

but is just a twinkle star

this sensation that will fall

in a far away place,

in a far away land.

Give me that glowing charm

tell me that all is a lie,

tell me whatever you want,

I believe any word from your mind.

I don’t want the night to end,

I don’t want to sleep right now,

let’s keep doing this dazzling game

until the Sun comes back.
