BODY ELECTRIC

When is the last time you looked
at your wife’s face in repose?
Do it today, Do it now.

See how defenseless, how very precious,
how beautiful she is.
Snuggle close, kiss her soft lips,
touch her breasts

When she wakens, cleave into her ....
With reverent awe, with tender passion
With sheer joy, your body electric,
Alive with love.

You are always very poetic :-)

I dedicate this song to you and your wife.It makes me think of you two. It is one of my preferred songs in Italian, it is a shame you cannot hear it :-) and sorry if the translation is not very good in some parts

Ivano Fossati

La costruzione di un amore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo0m2UmpySM


The construction of a love

The construction of a love
breaks the veins of the hands
it mixes blood with sweat
if any remains

The construction of a love
does not repay the pain
it is like an altar of sand
on the seashore

The construction of my love
I like to see it grow
like a one hundred storeys skyscraper
or like a sunflower

And I put my experience in it
just like decorating a Christmas tree
just like a gift to a bride
something that it is there
and it does not hurt

And on each storey there is a smile
for each winter to pass
on each storey there is a Heaven
to consume

Behind a door a bit of love
for the moments when there will be no time to make love
for the moments when you will desire to cut
my picture

And in the meantime I look this love
it comes so near to the sky
and after so much love
the sky is not enough

And I am here and I am amazed
I bite my arms but yes it's me
the mirror has my face

It is beautiful to come back to life
when it seemed to be ended
it is beautiful to see again
and the worse thing is that everything
is real

Thank you ever so much Flavia. Marcia and I shall treasure your song/poem by Ivano Fossati. Oh you Italians are
so romantic.
