TESTI - BLOOM AND FADE

VOL. III

A RAY OF SUNLIGHT

Finally you’ve crossed that ancient threshold
As your weariness melts into the cotton
You stretch out like a slowly revealed secret
Your eyelids closing on a world gone silent
And your breath becomes the music in the room

I watch your profile lost in the quiet
Every muscle lets go of its guard
As you seek your rest in this shadowed nest
Time outside slows down its frantic course
So it won’t disturb your return to center

A ray of sunlight cuts through the glass
Painting golden lines across your silhouette
Turning your essence into something warm
A light veil moves across your silk like skin
And the light crowns you queen of the afternoon
And I just stand here learning how to breathe

Dust dances in the air made still
Around your figure that slips into sleep
Your gaze relaxed even beneath your lashes
Reflects a peace that knows no storms
You are the safe harbor after the long journey

I watch you motionless fearing to break the enchantment
Of this vision that warms the bare walls
Your presence transforms the space into a dwelling
While the warmth of the day kisses your forehead
And the silence becomes an accomplice to your grace

ALONE

I lost you and I lost myself
your sad eyes
were trying to show me something
but I pretended not to see

You were talking I changed the subject
said damn it’s always the same things

You were crying I was staring
thinking she’s out of her mind
I thought everything was fine
but nothing was fine at all

Alone
alone and still alone

Alone in this cold room
watching our old photographs
Alone under these freezing sheets

I wish I had a time machine
to go back
to when we were happy
when everything felt perfect

But you can’t go back in time

Alone
alone and still alone

Alone in this cold room
watching our old photographs
Alone under these freezing sheets

If you ever have second thoughts
come back to me
don’t suffer like I do

But I’m wrong again
it’s not you who should come looking for me

It’s me
who should fight like hell for you

Alone
alone and still alone

BLOOM AND FADE

It started like the summer rain
a little spark that lit the flame
Every smile was a melody

I thought you’d stay eternally
But seasons change the colors go
What remains I’ll never know

Some loves bloom and some loves fade
Like roses dying in the day
Some hearts stay and some hearts break
But the memories never fade

Some loves bloom and some loves die
Like fire burning out the sky
I still feel you deep inside

Though our time has passed me by
We danced beneath the silver moon
believed forever would come too soon
But promises can fall apart

I can’t go back to where you are
Every story has an end

But in my soul it lives again
Some loves bloom and some loves fade
Like roses dying in the day

Some hearts stay and some hearts break
But the memories never fade
Some loves bloom and some loves die
Like fire burning out the sky

I still feel you deep inside
Though our time has passed me by
Every sunrise starts with night
Every shadow comes from light
Even if the pain won’t go

Love still teaches all we know
Some loves bloom and some loves fade
Like roses dying in the day
Some hearts stay and some hearts break
But the memories never fade
Some loves bloom some loves fade

CONNECTED TO THE WORLD

Scrolling faces on a screen
Thousand voices none for me
Every message fills the silence
But there’s still an empty space in me

And I hear the echo
Of conversations going nowhere
My heart is beating softer
Only searching for your care

Connected to the world
But lonely for real
Lost in all the lights
I just need something to feel
Connected to the world
But empty inside
When I turn the screen off
Who stays by my side

Silent dinner eyes on the phone
We’re together but alone
Holding the whole world in our hands
Still forgetting what we had

And I hear the echo
Of conversations going nowhere
My heart is beating softer
Only searching for your care

Connected to the world
But lonely for real
Lost in all the lights
I just need something to feel
Connected to the world
But empty inside
When I turn the screen off
Who stays by my side

Maybe just one step
Lift up our eyes
Find we’re still alive
In a real embrace tonight

Connected to the world
But lonely for real
When I turn the screen off
Who stays by my side

CRIMSON ABYSS

You move slow and shift the sound
Heat on skin the dark comes down
Eyes on me you pull me in
No touch yet but I give in

Feel the fire rising now
In the night don’t ask me how
Between control and losing you
I’m falling deeper into you

Crimson abyss pull me down
Into your darkness let me drown
Crimson abyss hold me tight
Every breath feels so right
Crimson abyss don’t let go
When I’m lost I lose control
Crimson abyss stay with me
In your shadows I’m set free

Soft and close then you hold back
Danger dancing on the edge of black
Sweet vibration under skin
You’re the poison I let in

No more words just skin on skin
Slow heartbeats then rush within
If it’s a sin let it be
Take me deeper endlessly

Crimson abyss make me fade
In your body I wanna stay
Crimson abyss let me break
Between desire and the ache

EMPTY ROOM

The bare walls stare at the motionless void
Where time has softly ceased to breathe
Only a boundary of thin dust remains
And the shadow of a step fading away in vain
The windows hold a voiceless sunset
While silence becomes a heavy guest

I search for a sign within the ceiling cracks
A heartbeat to shake this hollow chest
But every corner pushes back my weary hand

Empty room, mirror of a frozen goodbye
Within this boundary tomorrow has run aground
There is no furniture, only scattered absences
Across cold tiles and surrendered waits
A hollow shell devouring every memory
While outside the world ignores this silent
Abandonment feeding on white walls
Beyond the threshold of weary hopes

The floor preserves the cold of winter
No rug to hide the naked stone
Every word in here sounds like a pivot
Spinning uselessly in a somber lock
The light cuts through space like chalk blades
And I find myself a prisoner of myself

I search for a sign within the ceiling cracks
A heartbeat to shake this hollow chest
But every corner pushes back my weary hand

Empty room mirror of a frozen goodbye
Within this boundary tomorrow has run aground
There is no furniture, only scattered absences
Across cold tiles and surrendered waits
A hollow shell devouring every memory
While outside the world ignores this silent
Abandonment feeding on white walls
Beyond the threshold of weary hopes

Empty room mirror of a frozen goodbye
Within this boundary tomorrow has run aground
There is no furniture only scattered absences
Across cold tiles and surrendered waits
A hollow shell devouring every memory
While outside the world ignores this silent
Abandonment feeding on white walls
Beyond the threshold of weary hopes

Beyond the threshold of weary hopes

MASK OF CLAY

Crystal shards in your eyes
Cut the frozen air
Of this deserted avenue
Hands buried in velvet
Inside your pockets
While you avoid me
Dragging invisible armor
In the silence of the night
Your silence

Your image
Is a mask of clay
Ready to crumble
A steel reflection
Hiding
Dust of fragile glass
A giant trapped
In a skin too tight
You walk suspended
On the thread of your illusion

Your forehead facing
Motionless clouds
A proud profile
Without cracks
Every step strikes
The stone pavement
A lonely parade
Where silence speaks
You build mirrors
To reflect only strength

Your image
Is a mask of clay
Ready to crumble
A steel reflection
Hiding
Dust of fragile glass
A giant trapped
In a skin too tight
You walk suspended
On the thread of your illusion

I watch you deny
The tremor in your chest
You show confidence
With a bitter taste
That rigid stride
Hides your doubts
The cold you breathe
Keeps every touch away
The truth is an ocean
You refuse to sail

Your image
Is a mask of clay
Ready to crumble
A steel reflection
Hiding
Dust of fragile glass
A giant trapped
In a skin too tight
You walk suspended
On the thread of your illusion

I see you on the wire
Of your illusion
Every heartbeat trembling
Beneath your chest
A bitter strength
You try to wear
A giant trapped
In tightening skin
Hands hidden in velvet
Inside your pockets
You smile
Your ego is frightening

Your image
Is a mask of clay
Ready to fall apart
A steel reflection
Hiding
Dust of fragile glass
A giant trapped
In a skin too tight
You walk suspended
On the thread of your illusion
The mirrors look at me
And I look at them

NO SOUND CROSSES

Dim lights falling through half open blinds
While empty streets are silent tonight
No tomorrow knocking on frozen doors
Still we keep going, just like before

Noon slips slowly through my hands
I wake up trying to understand
Staring at a ceiling blank and white
Waiting for a sign or a note of light

No sound crosses this silent line
And I can’t find the strength inside
Out on the terrace, between air and stone
Trying to hold every moment alone

I sit and search through empty streets
For a living shadow I could meet
People fading in a silent drift
On a motionless ocean with no horizon

Eyes get lost in sidewalks bare
Where fate won’t give you what you dare
Silence bites and chills my skin
In this endless loop I’m trapped within

Waiting for a heartbeat in the dust
On this lonely road I learn to trust
Still moving on through empty days
Hoping this night will fade away

Dim lights turning darker still
As broken fears begin to spill
Looking out for a soul like mine
In this quiet sacred decline

No sound crosses this silent line
And I can’t find the strength inside
Out on the terrace, between air and stone
Trying to hold every moment alone

I sit and search through empty streets
For a living shadow I could meet
People fading in a silent drift
On a motionless ocean with no horizon

ONE DAY I’LL SEE

Rain is falling on my skin
The wind takes dreams that might have been

Rain is falling on my skin
The wind takes dreams that might have been
I sit and whisper to the sea
My heart still holds your memory
I drink alone beneath the sky
Where broken words still wonder why
Each wave repeats your fading name
Like distant echoes in the rain

Time can wound but not erase
The fire burning in this place
Every scar won’t fade away
I feel your presence every day

One day I’ll see you again
Where waves meet sky my only friend
And we will stand side by side
No more lost no need to hide

I scream at fate with my last breath
No force can silence love or death
The tide still brings your voice to me
Across this endless lonely sea

Time can wound but not erase
The fire burning in this place
Every scar won’t fade away
I feel your presence every day

One day I’ll see you again
Where waves meet sky my only friend
And we will stand side by side
No more lost no need to hide

Time can wound but not erase
The fire burning in this place

One day I’ll see you again
Where waves meet sky my only friend
And we will stand side by side
No more lost no need to hide
Every scar won’t fade away
I feel your presence every day

RED VELVET WOMAN

She walks in slow with heels on the ground
Every step she takes turns the night around
Silk on her skin like the moon so fair
One look from her and you’re lost in her stare

Every touch’s a fire that cuts so deep
Every breath’s a shiver I can’t keep
No way back I’m caught in her flame
A burning rush with no name

Red velvet woman you’re a storm on my skin
When you dance in the dark let the fire begin
Red velvet woman you’re sin and truth combined
Every kiss is a sentence but I don’t mind

She moves like smoke she flows like wine
Every curve she draws ignites the night
Sugar lips that sting yet taste so sweet
She pulls you close with a golden heat

Every touch’s a fire that cuts so deep
Every breath’s a shiver I can’t keep
No way back I’m caught in her flame
A burning rush with no name

Red velvet woman you’re a storm on my skin
When you dance in the dark let the fire begin
Red velvet woman you’re sin and truth combined
Every kiss is a sentence but I don’t mind

She walks in slow the blues call her name
Every word she speaks fans the flame
Her voice like honey with poison chords
Every note she sings cuts like a sword

Red velvet woman you’re a storm on my skin
When you dance in the dark let the fire begin
Red velvet woman you’re sin and truth combined
Every kiss is a sentence but I don’t mind

Every touch’s a fire that cuts so deep
Every breath’s a shiver I can’t keep
No way back I’m caught in her flame
A burning rush with no name

Red velvet woman you’re a storm on my skin
When you dance in the dark let the fire begin
Red velvet woman you’re sin and truth combined
Every kiss is a sentence but I don’t mind

SEARCHING FOR MY TRUTH

Breathing slow
Light inside

I’m breathing slow out of time
through the echoes of my mind
The light within begins to rise
a quiet flame beneath the skies

I gave my heart I lost my name
but through the silence love remains
Every shadow taught me grace
a path returning to my place

On these sacred roads
I’m searching for my truth
Through the pain and all the tears
I’m reborn in golden hues
Every breath’s a healing fire
every step dissolves the night
on this road that leads me to the light

Time is whispering through the breeze
carrying voices meant to ease
Now I see within the dark
there’s still a rhythm still a spark

Peace is not a thing to find
it’s the silence in the mind
When you fall you start to see
you’ve been home eternally

If I fall again it’s fine
every scar becomes divine
In the sky my soul can fly
where no dream will ever die

On these sacred roads

Now I see who I’ve become
not apart but all as one
Walking slow yet walking true
to the light to something new

YOURS ONLY YOURS

I wake in the night as always the bed is warm
Your hands a light touch on my neck sighs
Your gaze you are flying I would like to be inside you
To understand what you are thinking
It is only pleasure carried by passion it is our moment
Do you remember I remember you are the poetry
Of the most beautiful story

Yours only yours
I do not move from here
I am crazy about you
My heart beats strong it does not stop and I do not want it to end
I wrap you I hold you tight
Your body a painting my painting
I do not stop looking how beautiful you are

Shower together cold water
But I do not calm down
Your hands on my back
The water flows over us your lips on mine
I feel the drops fall
A perfect sound like you

Fogged glass
You draw a heart
You erase it and draw it again
You laugh
Your finger still on the glass
You look at me
Your beautiful eyes
I like all this

I take a photo
Perfect moment I would like to stop time
Do not go away
Outside it rains stay with me a little longer
Days months years
But stay with me
Give me another kiss
Do not stop

Only yours
I do not move from here
I am crazy about you
My heart beats strong it does not stop and I do not want it to end
I wrap you I hold you tight
Your body a painting my painting
I do not stop looking

I stop at the door
I say goodbye I watch you go away
A tear falls
I have not lost you
I am waiting for you to come back to me
Live your life when you want

I am here
