Small Girl, Big World

Let me go to a far away land, let me see what the world has to show.
Let me marvel and grasp at the wonders of creation.
I want to sit at the edge of a cliff
and close my eyes and feel the breeze cool my feet.
At the top of a mountain, I want to feel as small as a rain drop.
I want to swim and dive down to the bottom of the ocean
and marvel at the creatures that breathe no differently than us.
I want to cross borders and feel like there is no color, but just that of humanity.
No boundaries, just the spread of culture and language.
I want to go and learn of the ways that my brothers around the world live and laugh.
And maybe we could laugh together at the fact that language divides us but expression doesn't.
I want to taste more than just cuisines, I want to taste the flavors of the land
and maybe that which makes these places so delicious to travel to.
Let me sail towards the horizon, until there is no horizon any more,
but just another piece of land inviting me to its shore.
I want to get lost, at least once, somewhere in a city
and I want to find my way home, wherever it may be at the time.
I want to hold the world in my hand but nonetheless feel like a grain of sand. 

Attraversiamo- Let's Cross Over

Crossing over
From darkness to light,
From last year to a new one,
From one continent to another,
From one relationship to another.
We are crossing over all the time.
We are constantly in motion.
Around the sun, walking home, pumping blood through our bodies.
We don't stop.
Every step ahead is one step left behind,
Moving on.
We move when we know we deserve better.
When a step is all it takes to be more than what we are.
We cross over,
over obstacles and evil,
over oppressors and gossipers,
over heart aches and sleepless nights,
over broken bones and broken marriages,
over dictatorship and demons.
We cross over because we deserve better.
Sometimes we cross over because good is not enough when extravagant is in our reach.
Sometimes crossing over is not as easy as it sounds.
But when you start that journey,
you know you've already given yourself more than the world could ever give you.
And that's the best you can gift yourself.
Don't live in the dark, cross over to the light.
The darkness might be trying but don't give up the fight.

Time Traveler

Time Traveler, Time Traveler,

Hold my hand.

And Take me some place,

My past, please, a different land.

Time Traveler, you know well

Where I want to be right now.

So don't fool around and waste anytime

I want to say something to a someone somehow.

I have a message from the me of the future

To tell to the me of the years gone by

Time Traveler, you're bugging me alright!

Can't you go any faster, before it's night!

I need to tell her not to be afraid,

To love and to love some more.

Time Traveler, she believes in fate

How I wish she would just know...

That her future is as she wants it to be.

Not to worry, not to worry.

For, now, I know she sits in distress

Thinking, of life, shes made a mess.

Time Traveler, if you don't hurry up,

She will tie that noose and finish me up.

Time Traveler you're a devil, how I wish I knew.

That the future won't ever reach the past to warn a younger you.

Stoned: A short film

Smashed, broken, confused.
Experimental, daring.
Used, abused.
Escape, run away.
Inhale, inject, ingest.
Fly, high, disappear.
Temporarily.

Return, think, give up!
Once more, console, lie, assure yourself.
Its alright.

This time...more.
The last wasn't enough.
Fly higher now. Soar
Escape to paradise.
Blind, hazy, vision's out.
Seeing what you want.
The way you want.

Ecstasy on the rise, supernatural.
Space...

The return.
Grateful for the escape.
Nothing satisfies.
Never enough.
Holidays come sooner now.
More often.
Escape to your world.
Return no more.
Stoned.
Gone.
Nearer to the end.
