Gnostic cosmology
At its birth
descending into the sea of time and space
the soul goes through
the ladder of seven spheres
Reaching Earth - coarsened by planets' touch
On its pilgrimage back - it rises
using the same ladder
merging with the planets - one by one
Taking a sweat bath with Saturn
through the earthly vale of tears
and fire that divides what is best
within the spirit, mind and life
We start our journey
Jupiter takes us from there
promising good fortune and wealth
multiplying - he binds us to Maya
of three fighting birds - black and white and red one
Mars brings more fire and sword and shield
his fire hightened, his goal is clear
more transparent & subtle soul
Sun reaches us riding the green lion
appearing mighty, strong and free
he checks us for vanity and pride
offering peace between the birds
Satwa, tamas and rajas enter the balance
Venus gives us pleasure & unimaginable joy
she comes on the peacock tale - sensual, forgetful, selfish
but mind you - She is there to check our immodesty trace
cleansing us through the magic touch of beauty and love
In Mercury's embrasse we fall,
now pure and virginal
the matter solidified - no fire can destroy it
soul's phoenix rising from flames
Luna receives us as
immaculate, purple robed king
giving us the final sublimation
pelican, with her blood, brings her
dead young back to life
The soul now has the strength
to break the power of all its demons
It is fertilised with serpent
until the serpent has
swallowed
its-own tale

Free Will
First stage is the stage of the Father
- Law and fear of God
Second stage is that of the Son
- of the Church and of Faith in the World
Third stage is the one of the Holy Ghost
- of Freedom and Intuitive Knowledge
We live in the time when all the stages are known
and we have the freedom to chose
- Law and fear of God

I stopped to ask you - your name
it wasn't written on your forehead
I stopped to enquire where you came from
even though I saw a tag on your bracelet
saying - Earth's womb
I was intreegued by your voice
and love that was pouring
from your eyes
I wanted you - before I knew you
we met in my dreams
many many years ago

Spiral
What happens to decissions
discoveries, pathways that
spiral through our lives
Where are they hidden?
Can we hit the centre
whirlepooling through the universe
using
the circle of emotions, of guesses,
of little or no knowledge
of someone's elses images seen on TV
of hands that make the same mistake
of the lunetics burning in rectifying fire
of love that knows no end
of a man that could not move
attached to a cock of power
mirracolously awakened, attuned,
shaken
leaving everything behind
screaming screams that can not
be heard - only sensed

One in a billion
Thousands will come to your rescue
And you will search and merge and divide
until no more cells are left to multiply
until no more hope is left to rectify
Bugs feed by sucking fluids from
other beings - only few are harmful
Some species suck blood - only few kill
You will seak and learn
that you are not even one
in a billion

Poggi, I will bring the candles
the cob-web is only a century old
Poggi, into the world of shadows
I will give you my thoughts to light the space
Undo the done - redo the creator's will
I will know when you fail - I have already tasted that dish
I will give you my blessings
to bring to life the ones that have already tried
Poggi
I will look after you
until the Earth stop turning
until the Stars go back to their original place
until you've gone around 101 times
until you admit that winning is not a choice
that spitting at God is not a game
that you must obay
that you must accept
mortality of your own Race

Your eyes were filled with silence
I took the bullet off your chest
the knife I lost within the daw
I did not know the winner
Truely I beseached you
hundreds of coins flew into the river
and I could not stop the sparks
from becoming ferries of your choice
I cleared the path from torns and branches
'it is cosy' you whispered
from a shade of a tree
the movement was lost within her palms
And I left you - grasping for air
covered in swet and sticky dust
to lead the way to haunted houses
whose deadly scweeks scare the craw

I burn with love
and yet I will not say it
- not yet - not yet -
I burn with love
and yet stay still
observing
- your breath
- your heart beat
- your moves
so that I can better know
the Being hidden behind the words
I burn with love
attentive - curious - to
where this game is taking me
dancing with the ruler - Shakti, Shiva, Krishna?
Love that is indefinite, flowing, abstract
is mine and your rule - of that I have no doubt
and is there for many...
but love
that is passionate, focused, demanding
that fulfills and shakes the mountains
is there for few
That love - I'll give you
when I know that your game is pure
Celebrating your uniqueness
respecting your might
I'll give myself to you
through starry nights
through waves
through stones
this strong - this hot - this wet
find me within yourself
tonight...

Amon-Ra
Amon-Ra sits alone within the Chaos
Creating all the other Gods by jerking off
Chaos stays
Unpossessed, Untouched, Unborn
Spontaneous, Not-caused-by-anything
Perching Itself on a sky-mountain
Its Abyss comes first, Its Mother - Gaia & the Titans - Its Carriers
born through Desire
Neither Being nor Non-being
Chaos loves Mist & Cloud, Principles of Disorder

Is she your mum?
She flirts with me all the time
with eyes that belong to an angel
I told her that her hands are beautiful
so she shows them to me graciously
every time she meets me
She points at me
showing me to her friends
and nods secretly confirming
answering the question - is she your mum?
And I asked about her
as soon as met her eyes
as soon as I fell in love
with her moments of joy
- you can not have her - the sister said
both her sister and her are positive.
Positive? I enquire, still not used to terminology
- yes, she said, HIV positive
Malta doesn't allow HIV adoptions...
like in Ethiopia
I've never seen so much poverty
so much elegance
so much beauty
such gracious walks
so many warm & responsive eyes
so many blind & deaf
so much dust
so many perfect hair-styles
such wonderful climate
so little bushes and trees
so many people walking
beside each other
hugging & holding hands
so many people dieing of AIDS
so many heads turning towards
the church - praying
whenever they pass one
so many perfectly white shirts
so few old people
so many people with crutches
so many hands greeting each other
such thin cats
and friendly babies
like in Ethiopia
Elsa
She dwells amongst other babies
as their guard, spirit & echo
mirroring energies that flow
her way
- shaking the earth
when she cries - screaming
with voices from Had
- spreading amazing peace
when asleep
A child from Hell
lost on her way to Heaven
A child of our
worst nightmares
A child whose pain we would
never be able to understand
A child in transition
passing through our worlds
reminding us of who we are
A child that embodies
every parent's single fear
and she is just three months old...
Her head is three times larger than normal
her limbs tiny, distorted & white
her skin stretched, her muscles weak
as their guard, spirit & echo
mirroring energies that flow
her way
- shaking the earth
when she cries - screaming
with voices from Had

A child that embodies
every parent's single fear
and she is just three months old...
Her head is three times larger than normal
her limbs tiny, distorted & white
her skin stretched, her muscles weak
and perhaps is there
to protect some of the other little-ones
of evil eyes and human stupid thoughts
taking all of them on-to-herself

when a particle and antiparticle touch
they both disappear in a burst

that generates huge amount of energy...

for Ethiopia
i went to the cradle of civilisation
to see the root of problems
of human selfishness and un-consciousness
i went to the bottom to understand the peak
facing death, starvation, disease
i was surrounded with kindness, love and peace
is this the rule?

Love-making
The intimacy of lovemaking goes far beyond the merge of the bodies, it goes far beyond sex. The sacred union is supreme - two souls merge in a dance of physical, mind and energy interaction, creating an ecstasy known only to the few...

Nishagandhi
A rock looms out of my gloom
a distant sound of AUM becomes
louder and louder
A plunging gorge opens as a pearl
- one step and we will reach eternity
in a second
Hold on the mighty one
hold on to your mother's skirt
You stumble accross planes
leaving a bloody trail behind you
Hold on the mighty one
and in time
before your death
you might discover
the cave
carved
from tears
by the holy men
from all over the world
night-after-night
day-after-day
in prayer

i asked somebody what to bring to the orphanage
in Africa
and the answer was - don't bring presents
you can not buy present for 150 children and
if you bring a present to one, the others will feel left out
so I went and bought presents for 150 children
even if they are not my ticket to heaven one day
they will become exploding drops of happiness

For the seagull
Hundreds of birds flew away to make a space for a seagull – he returned from a country behind beyond, the golden guardian of birds that know no limits of time and speed and space.
He flew back from a journey you have heard of from your grand-grand-grand fathers – they narrated it as a fairytale – scared of a possibility of truthfulness of its reality – an impossible, tough and mysterious journey only reproached by a few who have the courage to enter the sacred door.
And he said: Jonathan, please re-create me again, let me go behind beyond every time a soul dares to imitate God and break the mortal edge of restrictions, boundaries, pre-programmed codes, prejudices and written and un-written laws of behaviour, of acting, of being. Let me bind my limbs with blind-fold of love, let me burn my skin disappearing in the light of inspiration, let me go through walls chanting mantras of compassion, let me laugh screaming-off the last remains of the air on earth, let me walk surrounded by the shine of the shiniest beings that have ever lived on this plane.
Re-create me Jonathan, I know you can!

Awakening as a moment of now
Awakening as an experience
Awakening as a moment
that is the same - today, yesterday or tomorrow
Awakening of a Hinduist, of a Buddhist, of a Christian
of a believer or a nonbeliever
Awakening that lives within every single cell
Awakening within no qualities
as emptiness of Consciousness
as direct contact
with love and light and life
experienced
with every breath
Awekening as resting within true nature
as acting from the true nature
as Remembering
Awakening as opening
to the possibility of Now
where no time exist
i jumped into the centre
of the spiral
and in no time
i was on a roller-coster
experiencing the speed
faster than the light
past, present and future
mixed together
on the surface of the moon
and meduza's call
enchanted - i followed
and found myself
inside the centre of Being
will you join me?

And she said...
Dive into the centre of spiral,
expand beyond its edge becoming eternal
Dance with your lover
and dream your truth laughing in ecstasy
'For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.'
'Invoke me under my stars! Love is the law, love under will.'
Arise, come forth, and live and
I will give you unimaginable joy...
harph's sounds followed me
Was it avalanche that stopped me or hurricane?
from reaching out for your hands
covering my soul with the golden dust
through the centre - into the earth
seeking all the grotesque forms
that mimic life from the shadows
of our fuzzed existence
rising up in worship of the One
bowing down in reverence
conquering sorrow
cleansing the path
through the gate
between the pillars
into the centre of the spiral
into the essence of the pentagram
into the light of rainbow
into the tear of the newborn
into the stem of the rose
from reaching out for your hands
covering my soul with the golden dust

Awakening
I woke up with a thought - do you remember?
A feather on my lap and
a tickle at the bottom of the pond of memories
buried a sound of a deserted beach
I returned...
Opening my eyes once again, I whispered - is this a mistake?
An error on the page kept bouncing back
could not handle the failure of its own reflection
within the mirror of constant movement
I let them come-in and stayed puzzled with the noises - madness?
In an instant
100s of faces crammed within the same story
Move away - I shrugged them off
I need some air!
I looked around me and found nothing but zero-ness
Wall covered with golden leaves
stopped me on the way to Hell
I piled them off one by one
discovering layers of nothingness
filled with space and the sound of AUM
And I closed my eyes to disolve within the cure
I entered his meditation and
he entered the silence between my breaths
evoking, celebrating, living
love

Love-to-you-dear-stranger
yesterday i cought a glimpse of you
within a shadow
walking through the streets
of my mind
i turned a familiar corner and you reached for me
exposing me to
extra-ordinary
un-known
un-expected
you stayed inside the waves of my imagination
all day and I felt stronglyhow easy it is to love your shadow
your carreses followed me
your kisses needed me
your love covered me
with the smell of the sea
with the shiver of just-to-meet-lovers
and you re-newed me
leaving me
burning
within a familiar flame
thank you...

Initiation time
And behind the curtain
It was surreal, strange and cunning
full of blood and action, underground screams
demanding attention,
demanding space
within the show of pappets on stage
And I saw them clearly
all gathered together
for a perfect set-up
Kali and Shakti, Gaia and Tara
de-sce-nded
to give us - mortals, followers, martins
Some...
Initiation time
Some...
Magic of forms and sounds
Some...
Whispers from within the earth
Some...
Intimate knowledge and
A possibility
To completly understand

I was privileged to be there
We walked through the labyrinth
In search of the sacred stone within our hearts
Holding hands - we sang and celebrated Life
We descended deep into the Oracle hole
Humming Aum with digerie-doo
We got lost in each others’ eyes – many, many times
All of us – worshipers of Her Might
We entered Her channels
To learn & to experience to Be
All became One for a very brief moment
That will stay with us – for eternity
Of sacredness, of holiness, of bliss
In search of the sacred stone within our hearts
Holding hands - we sang and celebrated Life
We descended deep into the Oracle hole
Humming Aum with digerie-doo

Sacred stone
We entered Kordin 3 - a temple site closed for public
And I felt it from the very start of the journey
I felt the energy of the Holy of Holiest
I felt the spiral and the strongest point that leads deep into the earth
At the very crossing of the 2 paths
Stepping on it I felt peaceful and strong and I knew
That there was no Form
No Gods or Goddesses to be worshiped
Just simple purity
Just simple sacred stone
And I felt it from the very start of the journey

'My one true treasure is Thy blessed feet' Vivekananda
Shiva and Shakti dance
throughout the night
Slowly, slowly - entering the path
of bliss unknown to many

We marked a begining of an era - sault and water mixed in alchemy of our souls
Your ink on my shores brings to me the residues, the happenings, the unawaitedYour dreams entered mine unconsciously - leaving little trace within our Mayas but visiting the realities of the interior of the earth to uncover...
awakenings, salted sweetened minglings...
A part of Malta kissing meunknowinglywarm mouthfullysoul leaking out of

It is now confirmed
I have no heart any longer
it jumped into your rib cage

because it liked it more - in there

Another missed moment
The tree stood silent and barren
A man provoked me
I could not hear the sound of the rain
Was too obsessed with the notion of Self

11,000 year old wall painting found
Have you heard?:
French archaeologists have discovered an 11,000-year-old wall painting underground in northern Syria. Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof.
French archaeologists have discovered an 11,000-year-old wall painting underground in northern Syria. Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof.
"This site is one of several Neolithic villages in modern day Syria and southern Turkey. They seem to have communicated with each other and had peaceful exchanges," Coqueugniot said.
Mustafa Ali, a leading Syrian artist, said similar geometric design to that in the Djade al-Mughara painting found its way into art throughout the Levant and Persia, and can even be seen in carpets and kilims (rugs).
We have been creating art for at least 11,000 years and we still believe that our era is the 'special' one...

Since the time of the shipwreck of Apostle Paul to this little island, the islanders of Malta have faithfully abandoned, abused, abolished and abdicated the word ‘sex’ from their dinner table discussions, magazines, dictionaries, school syllabuses, official documents, papers, anything written or spoken – and the only place where the Unmentionable was still present was in the islanders’ minds and subconscious gibberish and swear-words that stayed inaccessible to the watchful eyes of Paul and Paul’s followers.
Nearly 2,000 years later, after Paul’s shipwreck, Malta is still the only place in Europe where divorce is NOT legal. At the time when European public has seen the legalisation of gay marriage and is listening to the innovative suggestion of Gabriele Pauli, a German MP, who proposes legalising an institution of ‘expire-able marriage’ that needs to be renewed every 7 years, Malta still does not allow divorce. No matter what is your free will, no matter what the circumstances are, no matter how much couples might hate each other, no matter what religion you are, if you are a Maltese and you are married, your marriage will be legally forced upon you.
Uncovering layer by layer of Maltese life-style, and legal frame-works, an observer would be further shocked to learn that in the 21st century, ‘sex’ still did not manage to win its rightful place within the archaic mind-set of the islanders in power. Pornography is illegal in Malta, and a photo of a mother breast-feeding posing for an advert still raises a lot of eye-brows, because exposing a tit to a public eye is unheard of on this beautiful rock. Sun-bathing topless is an illegal offence, and if a girl is caught without her swimming suit on, she can be put in prison. Nude bathing is a privilege of the few that have their own boats and that can hide from the eyes of many. Hence if anybody even tries to sun-bathe nude, finding an isolated place in the middle of nowhere, s/he will be haunted by old ladies that will promptly descend from heavens to remind one that our bodies are sinful and shameful and should not in any way be exposed – especially not in front of the children!
Six months ago the Maltese Church & a Government Organisation ran a marketing campaign (with huge bill-boards, adverts in the newspapers, and TV) that lasted 3-4 months in which they tried to convince the youth that the healthiest and the best way to live their lives is to stay VIRGINS until they get married. They dug out dubious statistics and had interviews with doctors, scientists, philosophers that claimed that the true happiness will follow only if one preserves his or her sexual organ until the big day of the marriage. And they were serious about it!
Malta, that entered EU 3 years ago, still has almost 30% of its primary schools run by priests and nuns that are sweet and devoted creatures that truly believe that anything connected to sexual organs must be the devil’s work and an unmentionable sin. 30% of the primary schools on this amazing island are still run on the principles that boys and girls should go into different schools and should not under any circumstances mix.
Even though Paul’s teachings have sensibly been exiled from most of the Europeans schools and homes, Malta still remained his 21st century abode - the fort of faith that disrespects & disregards sexuality in all its manifestations and forms. His words ‘The body is not to be used for sexual immorality…’ keep echoing through all the structures of Malta’s unshakable fortifications.

Tantra
I gained
knowledge of the stars
climbing
504 steps towards the heavens
&
knowledge of Tantra
decending 504 steps
into the abyss
Can you do that too?
Rise and dive freely
following the flow
of Her secret fire
that sleeps hidden
within your spine
Learning the essence
of the 4th
Sacret Path
that is
shortest
driest &
the most dangerous
one
knowledge of the stars
climbing
504 steps towards the heavens
&
knowledge of Tantra
decending 504 steps
into the abyss
Can you do that too?
Rise and dive freely
following the flow
of Her secret fire
that sleeps hidden
within your spine
Learning the essence
of the 4th
Sacret Path
that is
shortest
driest &
the most dangerous
one

Dance with me...
by: Nouvelle Vague
'Dance With MeLet's dance little stranger
Show me secret sins
Love can be like bondage
Seduce me once again
Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve
Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Like an apparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul
The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the music's over
Let's give it one more chance
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility`
Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Adam - the child of God
My fascination stays fixed on this man
I call Adam
His colour is yellow - rarely found in Nature - because it is so precious
We see it everywhere,
but can not hold it,
or even dream to comprehend it
Like yellow of Gold,
Like yellow of Sun,
Like yellow of a Lion's stretched body
Adam does not like wearing shoes - his feet rebel - like his brain
that only can grasp open spaces
If he can, he dismantles every single screw on whatever-he-has-in-hands
to paint it or
fix it or
just for the sake of assembling it again - for the sake of the Game
Adam loves challenges that God gives him
he spites Him and eagerly awaits the next one and the next one and the next one
as a child exiled from Heaven that has sworn he has not gone mad!
Adam hates stillness even though he knows that it is only
IT that can give him peace
He observes
With painful precision
Every single moment that passes
Every single street that he walks through
Every single person that truly touches him
And he declares - it is here - in this illusion - I want to live - on planet Earth - nowhere else!
And yet I know, if he could, or if he would just know how
he would become a bird - an eagle
or live
as a Bedouin in a desert or
as a Fisherman in the middle of the sea
and would have never returned to this buzz of his mind
he is now so attracted to...

love is the rule - love under the control of will
every time I say no and you kiss me
we break some of the core of the soul's power
every time we let love rule us
we add to the subconscious make-up of this universe
that allows lies and betrayals and non-respect
for the sake of love that is free
for the sake of love that is based on
trutfulness, honesty and clarity
I am going to let you go & disapear from my life
Go, disapear, vanish!
Because Love is the Rule but only
Love under control of Will

every child counts and must be respected and defended
My beloved Dun George
Moves swiftly through the crowds
With a smile of the enlightened few
and says - every singe child, but every single one - counts...
While we all strugle with our little unimportant Self-s
He runs mind-boggling number of projects
Thousands are fed and educated in his 160 homes
In Brazil, in Kenya and in Ethiopia
With sparkling eyes, he goes around saying:
-Nobody’s child but everybody’s children-
and taps my hand gently
bringing the air of inspiration and love
Thousands helped by this gentle-man...
Written in his diary while he was in Ethiopia:
I met a sad young boy, next to a grave, and when I asked him who lays there he answered: 'Baba a che nindo oko kacha': My father slept here, but he never woke up again!

Secret
I am not quite sure but
there is a Word I am searching for today
a word of sorrow or a word of joy
a word of love or a word of hate
I know it is there - I saw its tale and horns and marrow
I hear it knocking - passing the sound
of Enlightenment?
of Life?
of Hope?
of Moksha - not Mukti!
of Nivana's glow?
of 1000s of Lung Ta flying in the air?
of mantras and yantras repeated for eons by many monks?
of the Divine Head and Her five nectars
of awakening of Sushumna Nadi
through Purification & Ecstasy
to Unity of Shiva and Shakti
with Cosmic Consciousness

I have respect
I have respect for you - Goddess of Life
I have respect for you - God of Infinity
I have respect for you and your 22 years of marriage
18 years of faithfulness & 7 years of Bramacharia
I have respect for you - the Child of Illusions
We will pick-up the treads of this cloth tomorrow
Today, we will collect the thoughts and flush them into
the loo of the Universe
Where the beginnings are unknown
But we can be certain of the ends

My Alpha Man
My Alpha Man is a hero found in fantasy books
He is the leader of a werewolf pack
A vampire
A God forsaken Knight
He is the leader of a werewolf pack
A vampire
A God forsaken Knight
He has big shoulders and two dimples on his back
He is strong and dominant
Pacing up and down like a lion awaiting his pray
He is a warrior
A chief
Pacing up and down like a lion awaiting his pray
He is a warrior
A chief
On earth
Long-awaited-materialised Myth
That sails through the battle-field of life
Smoothly
Wearing passion and love as his stride,
With his jaws firmly set
To take care
To protect and
Smoothly
Wearing passion and love as his stride,
With his jaws firmly set
To take care
To protect and
Nurture
Treating children gently
And having as his strongest fetish
And having as his strongest fetish
A fetish of a woman’s foot

it is in you
It is the same drive
That gives both of us happiness
In this world of constant searches and nowhere to find drills
It is in pituitary, and hypothalamus
It is in progesterone, and testosterone
It is in your and mine brain
That are wired so differently &
Are in sync so beautifully
It is within the desert sand & stormy waters
It is in the depth of the blue
It is in the depth of you
That gives both of us happiness
In this world of constant searches and nowhere to find drills
It is in pituitary, and hypothalamus
It is in progesterone, and testosterone
It is in your and mine brain
That are wired so differently &
Are in sync so beautifully
It is within the desert sand & stormy waters
It is in the depth of the blue
It is in the depth of you
It is in the depth of falling
And getting caught
At the very last moment

walking the edge
can you see me walking the edge
within your map of thoughts, streets, cities
can you help me discover the passageway
within the hypgeum dug by ants living under our houses
can you give me an access to the body of knowledge
unknown to human-kind since the beginning of time
can you lead me into the worlds
of touching the fire with bare-hands
I see you know it - can you lead me?

Fire Dragon
I have seen the Ocean open
when you raised the stick
I have seen the Mountains move
when you looked up
& whispered - move
I have seen miracles
waiting to happen
hidden
in her contagious laughter
& I saw you lift her vale of secrets
to deliver
a thought
of deep blue waters
of silence that is only found
in the noises of nature
of shaking earth
that was touched
by the breath of
fire dragon
in love
when you raised the stick
I have seen the Mountains move
when you looked up
& whispered - move
I have seen miracles
waiting to happen
hidden
in her contagious laughter
& I saw you lift her vale of secrets
to deliver
a thought
of deep blue waters
of silence that is only found
in the noises of nature
of shaking earth
that was touched
by the breath of
fire dragon
in love
Truth
I had a thought
that ended-up in your coffee
I had a feeling
that cut deep into my skin
I had a word
that could have changed the world
I had everything mapped
and I lost it in a few seconds
of Truth
that ended-up in your coffee
I had a feeling
that cut deep into my skin
I had a word
that could have changed the world
I had everything mapped
and I lost it in a few seconds
of Truth

There is only one thing I like more than
Your male sun-burnt body that smells of Africa and tiger’s skin
Freely holding your hand in the middle of the crowds
Shouting your name loud and clear so everybody can hear it
There is only one thing I like more than
The way you walk the edge, following the velvet of Her skirt
Daring to say and live the truth openly respecting an eagle within
Without abandoning the long-term nest
There is only one thing I like more than
The sound of the sea that safely sleeps within your head
Fighting for love, knowing that love is not a cake that
Can not be cut and shared and baked over and over again
There is only one thing I like more than
The warmth of the centre of your palm that shreds tears of love
Your desire to be naked wherever and whenever you can
That is now hidden underneath all that useless clothes
Your male sun-burnt body that smells of Africa and tiger’s skin
Freely holding your hand in the middle of the crowds
Shouting your name loud and clear so everybody can hear it
There is only one thing I like more than
The way you walk the edge, following the velvet of Her skirt
Daring to say and live the truth openly respecting an eagle within
Without abandoning the long-term nest
There is only one thing I like more than
The sound of the sea that safely sleeps within your head
Fighting for love, knowing that love is not a cake that
Can not be cut and shared and baked over and over again
There is only one thing I like more than
The warmth of the centre of your palm that shreds tears of love
Your desire to be naked wherever and whenever you can
That is now hidden underneath all that useless clothes

my never-to-be-man
he might not be the one
but his skin and his hands and his neck
smelled sooo good
like the smell of a crimson sunset on a cloudy day
like the dark blue shadow that set under the chin
of an eighteen-year-old-in-love
he might not be the one
but he crawled under my skin
sooo quickly
like a dream that touched the brain cells
leaving a memory of never-to-forget-an-experience
but staying forgotten for an awakened eye
he might not be the one
but i felt secure and warm and sooo right
in his arms
like a baby cuddled between the
silky virginal cloth
smelling the milk of her mother's bosoms
and he:
disappeared with the Maltese breeze
as quickly as the weather changed
within this little island
was gone with the sand on my foot
left behind
yesterday on the beach
faded with the jelly-fish sting
'cause I treated it rightly
so a scare does not mark my skin
left my heart trembling
feeling sooo tender and sooo new
and sooo alive
