[ENG] OPERA

Poetry

I wrote Opera between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Maybe you won't like it. Maybe you will find it pointless. For once, that's fine. I wrote Opera for me. Opera is about what I've learnt in this period of my life, it's about the person...

                                              The truth you have to remember
is
that love is love.
Forever isn't relevant
and love brings sorrow
mostly sorrow
                          but would you rather feel nothing?
                          Then love
and if your love ends down in the gutter
light it up
let there be flames
let it shine from the darkness

                          For more than success we need healing
for more than taking we need giving
                          so when you love, love wholly
be afraid
but love wildly
for if you don't live love
where are you going?
                          Then cry, when it's time to cry
empty your heart
and let the rain come
let the rain come
                          One day, spring will bring flowers
                          And if not, 
the promise of flowers
                          is still so precious.
                          So when you love, be smiling
it's not granted or minuscule or trascurabile
Love moves the universe
so let it move you
Let it fill your bones
then let it hurt you
                          Just know
things come back from ashes
you'll feel again
you've been programmed
by the cosmos
                          So when you love, love wholly
then let the rain come
and wash you
                          don't live with your heart turned off
that's not the purpose
