Sometimes



Sometimes
          to talk to you is like entering a temple
                   where only holy words are spoken
                             and truth
                                      is a confession
                                                to a force capable of all

sometimes
          to let you read my eyes
                   is as standing naked
                             in front of a crowd
                                      of uncertainties and fears
                                                to break them all for once

sometimes
          i hide inside an abyss
                   behind a mask
                             so nothing touches me
                                      nothing hurts me
                             where nothing is felt
                                      and pain is not a menace

still
          sometimes
                   i challenge myself
                             and dare to look at you
                                      with all my wantings
                                      tell you about those days on which i miss you
                                      the times when i think of you
                                      those instants when i wished you were so close
                                                shelter on your shoulder
                                                fall asleep in your arms
                                                awake close to the air you breathe
                             that is also my truth

then
          the memory of an indomitable horse assaults me
                   i pick up my cap
                   cover myself
                             so that you can’t look inside me
                   i struggle
                             so you don’t cross the bridge of my eyes
                                      through the bottom of my thoughts
                                                to later turn around
                                                          galloping
                                                                   towards god knows where
                                                                            but yet so far away

it is time to erase my questions
          ignore the answers
                   evade the truth
                             travel through the imprecision of hours
                             sit there and there remain
                             staring at life
                             watching how it escapes through my fingers
                                       without a single attempt to grab it
                             to let go so it doesn’t leave
                             to stay in silence so it can listen
                             to hide so it can see me
                                       and wait for the day
                                                when the bridge is crossed

meanwhile
          I flow
                   and float
                             resign to be who i am
                                      inside the depths of me
                                                on the surface of you
