Desire
I desire you
more than food
or drink
My body
my sense
my mind
hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence
in my heart
although you belong
to all the world
I wait
with silent passion
for one gesture
one glance
from you
~ Rumi
The knowledge of the Heart
My heart knows that one day you’ll come to me,
you
nameless face,
unknown soul.
That’s why I’m here,
waiting for you,
longing for you,
upsetting my mind…
but I swear, my Love,
I won’t move.
I’ll resist the silence of the solitude
and I’ll keep waiting,
burning in this waiting…
I don’t care.
I’ll keep waiting,
living for that day in which our eyes
will recognize each other.
There’s a knowledge
that overcomes every kind of understanding…
it’s the knowledge of the Heart.

Merano Italy
Just a few miles south of the Austrian border, Merano is an old spa town. About half the residents here speak German, the other half Italian. Take a dip in one of the thermal baths, or try Merano’s famous “grape cure”. Among the town’s landmarks are the medieval city gates such as the Vinschgauer Tor.
