Alone With You Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio

I want to be alone with you
tonight,
I will switch off the moon
asking her for just one moonbeam
to illuminate your body,
I will beg the stars
to go playing with each other
further away from me
and my eyes
to never leave you.
I want to be alone with you
tonight
to stroll on you
with my hands
and to almost touch you
whispering to you with my lips
arabesques of passion
and when tomorrow
I'm left with only the memory of you,
I will ask the stars to come back
to go on playing
and the moon
to leave that moonbeam in my heart.
