    About this ebook

    Dear Reader ,

    When you will open for the first time this book , you will ask  yourself about its title or if it will worth reading it . But please , remember , before you will start reading , that the life , the most precious gift  we have , starts and  ends , finding you alone , with your dearest memories .

    Also  ,  you' ll ask yourself why I have choosen simple words  for expressing my feelings and I must answer to you : the simple words have sometimes the power to change the world and our lives , in a way we cannot predict. The simple words have many meanings, resonating in different way in each soul and that's way I added two secret ingredients, the pictures and the music , to make my words more powerful.

            So , dear reader , take this book , listen to the music and enjoy a long journey in my dreams and in my memories , hoping   that you'll enjoy  it!

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Poem

      The flowers of my thoughts

      Covering

      The looking – glass of silence

      From my heart.

      Gleams of stars

      Scattered tenderly

      Over the grains of dew

      Left on the empty paths

      In my soul.

      The perfume of memories

      Kept forever

      Among dreams ,

      Hopes ,

      And vain illusions...

      I was looking for you ...

      On the bridge
