And suddendly i was there, in the sky
and watching down to the lights of the town
i was wondering where you were
shinest light between all the lights
tears started to fill my face
i couldnt move my eyes
from those lights
and then i saw the White Lighthouse
and i was sure, so sure..
...we'll be back there, me and you.


When my eyes saw what you have seen....

Time, while bringing me farest from you
is even bringing me closest to you
another day is passed
another day of missing
but is day less to see you again
but is a day more of my love to you
Time will pass, love will last....



"My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky"
(Nizar Qabbani )

"Non so scrivere su Damasco senza che si intrecci il gelsomino sulle mie dita
Non so pronunciare il suo nome senza che sulla mia bocca si addensi il nettare dell albicocca, del melograno, della mora e del cotogno
Non so ricordarla senza che si posino su un muretto della memoria mille colombe… e mille colombe volano......

"I can't write about Damascus without to feel the jasmin between my fingers
I can't pronounce its name without to relish the nectar of apricot, melograno and sweet fruits,
I can't remeber it without that one thousand doves stand over the memory's wall.....and one thousand doves...they fly"
(Nizar Qabbani )

And me? I can't think about Damascus, without to think about you, me...colors, scents, food, arts, people,....and again you..you.
