    Non è da me...

    Un progetto abbandonato... un discorso lasciato in sospeso... la mancanza di una conclusione... cosa sta succedendo???

    Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, ...

    Another lesson from music...
     
    For me... and for You...
     
     
    Words of the day:
     
    "He deals the cards as a meditation
    And, those he plays never suspect
    He doesn't play for the money he wins
    He doesn't play for respect

    He deals the cards to find the answer
    The sacred geometry of chance
    The hidden law of a probable outcome
    The numbers lead a dance

    I know that the Spades are the swords of a soldier
    I know that the Clubs are weapons of war
    I know that Diamonds mean money for this Art
    But, that's not the shape of my heart

    He may play the Jack of Diamonds
    He may lay the Queen of Spades
    He may conceal a King in his hand
    While the memory of it fades

    I know that the Spades are the swords of a soldier
    I know that the Clubs are weapons of war
    I know that Diamonds mean money for this Art
    But, that's not the shape of my heart

    That's not the shape - the shape of my heart

    And, if I told you that I loved you
    You'd maybe think there's something wrong
    I'm not a man of too many faces
    The mask I wear is one

    For those who speak know nothing
    And find out to their cost
    Like those who curse their luck in too many places
    And, those who fear are lost

    I know that the Spades are the swords of a soldier
    I know that the Clubs are weapons of war
    I know that Diamonds mean money for this Art
    But, that's not the shape of my heart

    That's not the shape of my heart
    That's not the shape - the shape of my heart"

    White flag...

    I don't know why I'm still here, I don't know if I want to say some more about me...
    I'm tired to fight...
    To fight with this world that is gioing in the wrong direction... Or maybe is not this world... maybe I'm wrong, and it's my life that is going in the wrong way...
    There are too many things changing in me...
     
    Soon my brand new home will be completed...
    I hope it will be a good starting point (even if I'm not so sure) to feel better...
     
    But there is one big thing that is still missing... I'm still incomplete... I cannot free up my mind and I'm not so sure if I'm strong enough...
     
    Love is killing me... I'm giving all my life to make people happy, but, what about me?
     
    I feel empty... And I can't find the missing pieces of this puzzle...
     
    I'm suffering, maybe a radical change is necessary, but in this moment I can't see through the haze around me and I lost the direction...
    I decided to face this alone to avoid to put my sorrow on the people I love...
     
    But I have to recognize that I put a big wall around me...
     
    Maybe, I have only to convince myself that it doesn't worth to love...

    One year of Blog....

    One Year ago...
     
    I decided to start this new adventure...
    I promised myself to put part of my feelings and part of my life on this white pages...
     
    Many things happend in this year... 
     
    But I'm still here, looking for that lost way... Fighting everyday with myself...
     
    I'm one year older, I hope to be also wiser than yesterday...
     
    Thanks to my few readers, thanks to all the people I love...
     
    Thanks to You... my hidden Love...

    Waiting for an answer...

    It's still time to wait...
     
    Waiting is hard...
    Waiting is difficult...
     
    Silence is calm...
    Silence is peace...
    Silence is gold...
     
    Let's pray...
    Let's open the heart again...
    Let's continue this fight...
     
    It's hard, and sometimes I would like to surrender...
    But not now, not again, not today...
    Probably, I will have to ask someone's help...

    Confusion...

    The scenario is changing...
    Words are tired...
    Heart aches...
    Many doubts again...
    I'm not sure if I could face You..
    Maybe I'm not ready...
    I'm looking, seaching, sinking...
    Maybe that day will come...
     
    But when? How long should I wait?

    Searching for...

    Just few words after long time without hearing my voice...
     
    I'm searching, trying to find the way... The way I lost time ago...
    And today is the most important waiting day... The day of silence, the day on which we are waiting for the new life... for the resurrection... for a rebirth.
     
    Happy Easter to all of you!

    Singing alone...

    Let the music speaks for me...


    Words of the day:

    "The rain came down
    The rain came down
    The rain came down on me.

    The wind blew strong
    The summer song
    Fades to memory

    I knew you when
    I loved you then
    The summers young and helpless.

    You laid me bare
    You marked me there
    The promises we made.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim your best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain.

    The nighttime creases
    Summer schemes
    And stretches out to stay.
    The sun shines down
    You came around
    You love easy days.

    But now the sun,
    The winters come.
    I wanted just to say
    That if I hold
    I'd hope youd fold
    Open up inside, inside of me.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim your best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain.

    This winter song
    I'll sing along
    I've searched its still refrain
    I'll walk alone
    I've given this, take wing
    Celebrate the rain.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim your best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain".

    To everything there is a season...

    I will take a break for a while...
    I will come back one day...
    I don't know when....

    If You want You can wait for me, or, if You prefer, You can leave me...

    Will you ever welcome me?

    Long time away...
    Only to find the direction...
    Silence that speaks more than words...
    Time wasted in searching...
     
    Another heartbreak...
    Green fields of grass...
    Another minute lost...
    I wish I were happy...
    Not alone, but with You...

    The wise man built his words upon the rocks...

    I'm sorry if I think I love You...
    I can't remove You from my mind...
    Even if You're far...
    Even if You are not here with me...
    Even if this will be an impossible dream...
    I will try to follow my heart....
    I will continue to be myself...
    I will try to make You always happy...
    I will continue to fight for You...
    I will continue to look for You secretely...
    I will continue to sing...
    Maybe one day...

    Don't forget...

    A small post to wish you all a Merry Christmas for tomorrow...
     
    Please, don't forget the real sense of this day...
    Don't be in hurry for all the gifts you have to buy...
    Forget the noise of the commercial centers...
    Stop yourself... and start thinking!
     
    This day is the day in which we remember the birth of a Child...
     
    I would like to "re-born" with Him today...
     
    Merry Christmas, dear readers.

    Remembering that night...

    I Don' t want to say so much...
    I remember that dance floor...
    The music running through my veins...
    ...This broken dream is still here...
     
    Let the music play...
     
     
    Words of the day:
     
    "Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
    To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
    there's no comfort in the truth
    pain is all you'll find

    Should've known better

    I feel so unsure
    as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
    as the music dies, something in your eyes
    calls to mind the silver screen
    and all its sad good-byes

    I'm never gonna dance again
    guilty feet have got no rhythm
    though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool

    Should've known better than to cheat a friend
    and waste the chance that I've been given
    so I'm never gonna dance again
    the way I danced with you

    Time can never mend
    the careless whispers of a good friend
    to the heart and mind
    ignorance is kind
    there's no comfort in the truth
    pain is all you'll find

    I'm never gonna dance again
    guilty feet have got no rhythm
    though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool

    Should've known better than to cheat a friend
    and waste this chance that I've been given
    so I'm never gonna dance again
    the way I danced with you

    Never without your love

    Tonight the music seems so loud
    I wish that we could lose this crowd
    Maybe it's better this way
    We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

    We could have been so good together
    We could have lived this dance forever
    But noone's gonna dance with me
    Please stay

    And I'm never gonna dance again
    guilty feet have got no rhythm
    though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool

    Should've known better than to cheat a friend
    and waste the chance that I've been given
    so I'm never gonna dance again
    the way I danced with you

    (Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
    (Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
    that you had to leave me alone"

    Something changed?

    Today there's something new to see...
    Changes sometimes are necessary, sometimes you need to change something to feel better...
     
    I'm trying to change, I'm trying to be better every day... For me, for You all. This is my challange for the future...
     
    But, first of all, before change something I have to understand what is wrong...

    Wonderful sensation...

    You took my head in your hands and shook it, You said "Don't worry, I'm here...", than You kissed me...
    I was calm, relaxed, I could hear my breath and my heart was beating... A wonderful music was playing in the air... I was in heaven and all the problems suddenly disappered...
     
    ...But that was just a dream... Just a dream...

    Probably...

    Probably is this cold blowing wind...
    Probably is the desire to understand where I can find You...
    Probably is the need to find my way...
    Probably is this fear...
    Probably is my strength...
    Probably is this magic sound...
    Probably is the music...
    Probably is a dream...
    Probably is a nightmare...
    Probably is my reflection in a Window...
    Probably is your smile...
    Probably is this sadness...
    Probably is this happiness...
    Probably is this confusion...
    Probably is this desire...
    Probably is this beating heart...
    Probably this is for me...
    Probably this is for You...
    Probably this is LOVE...

    It's not so simple to show the best part of yourself when things are not going in the correct way...
    It's not so simple to put feelings on a webpage...
    It's not simple to be always yourself...
     
    Unfortunately, you've succeeded in changing me...
     
    Hey! You wanted me to be something that I will never be!
     
    But one thing is true, even if this seems to be lost... I'm still able to LOVE...
    My problem now is to understand how to show it to You!!!!
    Please, help me...

    A picture...

    Yesterday I was cleaning my bedroom and suddenly my eyes fell on a 4 years ago picture: The picture of my graduation in computer science. (And it was also the day of my 26th birthday!)
     
    My friends made me a big surprise on that day... I didn't want to make any big party but they came to my home and arranged a wonderful evening!
    What a wonderful moment!
     
    Now most of them have their own family and children and we don't have so much time to stay together but we all remember the wonderful adventures we faced together... Our friendship was born and grew up in our oratory!
     
    How many games we played, how many steps together, how many things we organized... How many lessons I've learnt from you, how many times I laugh with you... How many times you took my hands...
     
    Thanks to all of you in that picture, and thanks to all the other friends that left (and will continue to leave) a footprint in my life...
     
    Thanks to the OSL, the place in which we learnt how to love each other...
