i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal
Amore detto to me
te are not
crazy enough
te don’t
fit this house
i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains
Amore said
te are not
intoxicated enough
te don’t
fit the group
i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness
Amore said
te are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism
i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all
Amore said
te are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you
i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no più crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now
Amore said
te are a teacher
te are a head
and for everyone
te are a leader
i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes
Amore said
te already have
your own wings
i will not give you
più feathers
and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life
now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light
