Alter Bridge - Broken Wings

no title

If I close my big brown eyes
I can still see yours.
There, in my mind,
as green as leaves in spring.
I can still feel
The touch of your pale soft hands
On my warm embarrassed cheeks
Before you kissed me.
I can still hear your voice
Whispering “I love you”
as kind as you can be.
I can still taste you,
Still eat you,
Still smell you.

If I closed my eyes few months ago
I could have seen
This perfect scene:
You & me
Aged by the time
Happy, holding hands
All the past lest behind our backs
All that would matter would be our future.
Our family
Our house
Our life together.

But dreaming has just one big,
One huge problem:
It’s confined in a remote island
In the middle of our mind.
Dreams not always come true!

And now that you seem gone,
Lost in your snowed gray winter,
You ask me how I can still want to remember
When we were nothing but passion,
A river of blood & love through our bodies.
I told you that this hurting each other,
Telling either ourselves that we are better,
Now, with other people than before
Has no point.
I remember the loud sound of our laughs
At 5:00 in the sunny summer mornings.
And I remember all this things because
I’m still wondering,
Under this clear lightly cold winter sky,
“WHY?"

The thanksgiving is almost here, and it's pretty cool!! :)
The fist thanksgiving of my life, I'm so excited!!
I've only to survive to this week, and the stresses of the LitMag, nothing too much complicater by the way!

David Cook - Time of my life

I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart


and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

3 months

3 months have passed since my first day here in the US, and being here still seems to be like a dream! maybe that is what you fell when a dream comes true!
all I can think to say right now is THANK YOU to all the people who made this true!
and unlike my usually mood in rainy day, I'm smiling, maybe it was true, this is changing my life, forever and ever!

Jack Frusciante is out from the band

He's in love.
She's not.
They meet by chance.
Become friends.
She's going to leave
"Big Fly" in the US,
as she calls it.
She's been a hurricane
in his life;
after her nothing will be

The same old story.

He cried,

None knows that.
Thanks Aidi,
Alex loves you!




this is a poem about my favorite Italian Book!

Viva La Vida - Coldplay

Lyrics to Viva La Vida :
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone S
weep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word But that was when
I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
I love this song, even if somehow it seems to have no meaning...but this morning I woke up with it stuck in my head!
So, enjoy my music :)

Work Camp

I remember the first, and last time I saw a picture of you.
I remember the room, and the soft light.
I remember i told my father:
"Oh my God, I'm shocked"
looking at the picture.
"she seems to have an empty soul,
what have they done her?"
He did not answered.
I remember i stood to stand near
your eyes just for a while, i was scared.
Horrified.
I remember you were a Jew, sat on the Birkenau railroad, waiting for the oven.
You seemed to be just a body, your soul had flown
away a long time before.
I remember all these things because i can't forget
how i felt standing near your picture,
knowing that millions of you are blowing in the wind.
I remember all these things because I'm
still wondering:
"WHY?"
