Tango for two

A couple, silent
slightly stiff, as if posing, as they dance one evening.
Life is just something left behind, it's not here anymore but it used to.
Very proper, in their Sunday best1, a blurry elegance attained with great effort
today has a different face but I do know about that past.
 
I know you'd have stories to tell
and memories soften, but do not spoil them
so many things and faces to talk about
'enough to fill more than a novel', as they say.
Stories born from a fleeting 'See you tomorrow'
grown over days of 'yes' and 'no'
lightning in a suburban sky
and the tango that introduced you two was rapid fire.
 
He: rod, piston, lever, muscles, attitude, garage, sun
She: calm, guitar, sail, secrets, woman, warmth, violets
He: bars, alcohol, nicotine, back-combed hair, tie, bicycle
She: rayon, a young lady, a curly perm.
 
A couple in front of a glass of a nameless white wine, fizzy anhydride
Life is such a funny thing, yet if you say so, no one laughs.
A couple bound by days, departures and returns, strength and chain
Give me your memories, tell me it was worth it.
 
Now the lights are off, people are leaving, greetings and noise
Tell me you are going to make love, like in the old days
What once was a secret of a meadow or a riverbed, of a shady boulevard
that game, burning and discrete,
always the same and never the same.
 
Who knows if what one is looking for
what you want and don't want at the same time
is so easy to find,
is on every street, right on our side
lost in so many boxes filled with smells
and corners and curtains I'm not familiar with
imprints of landscapes and colors
a handful of tango that guided you two.

• 1. literally: 'Sunday-ized' a made-up word

For a moment

Every time I die a little
When I know I'll lose
I'm sorry
What they blabber about
It's charm school
I don't like it hey-oh
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
 
They teach us war
We want some more
Because we dig it,
hurting
Sayin no
Is so much simpler by the way
I don't like it
 
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
 
No, not now
I want to be right
Don't tell me you don't want it
If what's left
Is a song and nothing more
I'll sing it more
 
Put your hands up if you know how to
Stand still
A dream
I crave it
 
There ain't a voice screaming harder
There ain't no greater weapon
Than a dream
You change the world
 
I'd like for tomorrow
Than those far away
Would come closer
And fearlessly
Without excuses
Like we were
one even just for a moment.
Uuuuh
for a moment-oh-ah-uh
Yeah
for a moment
 

#RLL (Take Back the Tears)

Sweeter days lived with you
reviewing the images
of something good that isn't there
but when the night comes
my hands in the bed are looking for you
the wounded pride knows forgiveness and forgives however
 
Take back the tears
give me back the stories
don't get lost and ask me
if i still need you
Far away as an island
the most romantic dreams
promise me that you come back here
with one word for me
 
how many promisses of happiness
starts you never know and lost on the darkness
if you were a fire already extinguished
my lips would not burn now
the time hurts or heals but it will soon be forgotten
 
Take back the tears
give me back the stories
don't get lost and ask me
if i still need you
Far away as an island
the most romantic dreams
promise me that you come back here
with one word for me
 
When you arrive, turn me off
how many times you find me and you lose me
and now I wonder if what I really want is you
 
Take back the tears
and sweep away the clouds
don't get lost and ask me
if i still need you
Far away as an island
the most romantic dreams
promise me that you come back here
with one word for me
take back the tears
 

Tomorrow will arrive

I know you would die without the internet
But for me, I prefer ether
But you, you have to go out a little, de-you have to go out a little, you have to go out a little
And breathe a moment
It is true that life is not easy, but there is nothing simpler
I go and you say you're not wrong when you say wi-fi
Since you're not wrong attached to 'I'm wi-fi
 
You knew that I was waiting for you
Ask me what I did while you were not there
If you can not be perfect
What is love if there is no respect
I know you would die without the internet
But for me, I prefer the ether, the blue sky
But you, you have to go out a little, de-you have to go out a little, you have to go out a little
And breathe a moment
 
Everything sounds stronger than before
And I will watch the moon shining in the city
Today I want to lose myself
Like light in the trees
Eyes closed and alive in half
Tomorrow will arrive
I know you would die without the internet
 
You stay awake, it's like watching a movie
When you already know how it will end, how it will end, how it will end
And your life slips
I know it's not easy to resist
My fault or yours but it ends here
And there's no more what you wanted, what you owe me
Without making cries
What you break, you take it
If you want to save yourself, try now
With your words I will write a verse
And do not tell me you regret it
No, no, no, no
 
I know you would die without the internet
But for me, I prefer ether
But you, you have to go out a little, you have to go out a little, you have to go out a little
And breathe a moment
 
Everything sounds stronger than before
And I will watch the moon shining in the city
Today I want to lose myself
As a point between the corners
The eyes, his smile in half
Tomorrow will arrive
Tomorrow will arrive
Tomorrow will arrive
Tomorrow will arrive
 
Everything sounds stronger than before
And I will watch the moon shining in the city
Today I want to lose myself
Like light in the trees
Eyes closed and alive in half
Tomorrow will arrive

If the city was burning

My hear doesn't sleep ever
he knows that you're of another one
your mother is saying that
in May you will marry a man
but in the bottom of your heart
there is a boy, he's me
 
But who told that, but why
I haven't to think about you anymore
nobody knows who I'm
but the first kiss has been the mine
I go mad without you
and any night I see you close to me again
 
If the city was burning
to you
to you
to you I would run
I win even the fire for you
if the city was burning
I know
I know
you would search for me
even after our farewell
for you I'm the love
 
There my heart never sleep
to invent you close to me
this town never burn
there is a men with you again
but if there is a boy in the bottom of your heart
this boy is me
 
this meadow in outskirts
several times has seen you mine
is too much time that it doesn't know
where is my happiness
I go mad without you
and any night I see you close to me again
 
If the city was burning
to you
to you
to you I would run
I win even the fire for you
if the city was burning
I know
I know
you would search for me
even after our farewell
for you I'm the love
 
Thanks a lot for your attention!

How much you made me late

Anna forgive me
For this life that is taking me away
By chance have you a candy?
That the taste of the last poem comes away from my mouth
 
In my cushion I'll confess, oh
This night
One day, forgive me
When you get there, I'm going away
 
Why am I not so beautiful?
When light comes into the room to make me company
I fall asleep distracted, ah
This night
With the makeup on the face
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
If love is a game we are left
on the stairs,
on the stairs
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
To see the dawn
Then do not even look at me
You do not even look at me,
you do not even look at me
 
There are people in the alleys
Red eyes crinkled with melancholy
I came to your party
First toast, before going away
 
I look at you, my silences
They are a color in the midst of so many
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
If love is a game we are left
On the stairs,
on the stairs
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
To see the dawn
Then you do not even look at me
You do not even look at me,
you do not even look at me
 
The first star of the night then does not go away
It will remember our damn love
Inside my memories I do not know what you are doing
I never think of you
And I find you in it
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
If love is a game we are left
On the stairs,
on the stairs
 
How much you made me late
How much you made me late
To see the dawn
Then you do not even look at me
you do not even look at me
you don't even look at me
 
Thanks a lot for your attention!
