Era bello quel suo corpo quando mi stava accanto. Quando se ne andava nuda per la stanza e l'ombra disegnava sulle pareti la sua forma, quando le fiamme del camino si allungavano come mani desiderose di toccarla, quando guardavo tra le sue gambe da dietro un bicchiere di vino o vedevo quei suoi glutei raccontati da una coperta di lino…. Era bella quando tornava a stendersi accanto a me, quando sentivo vicino quel profumo di calendula e biancospino. Il resto lo faceva la musica. Si, lo faceva la musica.. @ilpianistasultetto

And I will raise my hand up Into the night time sky And count the stars That's shining in your eye Just to dig it all an' not to wonder That's just fine And I'll be satisfied Not to read in between the lines
