Perchè volete voi ch’io rinnovi
nel cuore la miseria di mia vita?
Mi fu noia spiacque
tutto ch’altrui piaceva.
Nemica ebbi la luce,
amica ebbi la notte.
ove su dal silenzio di me stesso nata
e dal fondo dell’eterna doglia,
simile alla sorgente che disseta
e simile alla fiamma che riarde,
freschezza e incendio, lenimento e piaga,
or torbido ruggente come fiaccola,
or mite come lampada,
una visitatrice si chinave su me,
quasi a nudurirsi
dell’assidua mia vegilis;
e, quando si partiva
al trenar delle stelle,
non più foco, nè fonte era.
Ma il vostro viso...
... il vostro viso
mostrava ella nudato al mio dolor. The above para is from the opera,"Francesca da Rimini" by Ricardo Zandonai. The translated verse in English is Why do you want me to revive
in my heart the misery of my life?
I was bored and displeased with
everything that others liked,
My enemy was the daylight,
my friend the night,

C aught in quite a lot of work, I was at the end of my wits wondering what to do. Time didn't just fly. It went supersonic. I really did not miss her much 'cause
To really love a woman
to understand her
you've got to know what deep inside
hear every thought, see every dream
and give her wings when she wants to fly
and when you find yourself lying helpless, in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really woman
When you love a woman
you tell her that she's the one
She needs somebody
to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
really, reallly
ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman
to let her hold you
till you know how she needs to be touched
you've gotta breath her
and really taste her
until you can feel her in your blood
when you can see your unborn children in her eyes

The start of a new year brought both joy and sorrow. Joy, 'cause she was there to wish me a happy new year; sorrow 'cause I was sick and therefore I couldn't spend much time with her.
She was concerned on my health. She wanted me to see a doctor. But she knew that I would not heed her. She always looked a little more beautiful when she was angry. Her eyes smouldering and her lips upturned were a delight to watch. I was listening to some msuic when she came visiting. Don Williams was crooning a lovely touching song. You're my friend when I'm hungry.
You're my shelter from troubled winds.
You're my anchor in life's ocean.
But most of all you're my best friend.
When I need hope and inspiration;
You are always strong when I'm tired and weak.
I could search this whole world over,
You'd still be everything that I need. I enjoyed her company, my only bright spot for the past couple of days.
