Italians in Moonlight

by The Queen of Spades   Aug 17, 2007


Harmonize with me
Slow like your breathing
Recognize what's in me
And take me far from sleep

Tricks right down your spine
I wish I could make them mine
But Italians in moonlight
They always put up a fight

Materialize in front of me
Quickly so soon I can see
Realize what is in me
Hearts simultaneously

Blue eyes, green eyes, brown
Rivers, confusion, and dark cathedrals
Places that glisten under the moon
It's coming too soon, all too soon
Heartbreak

Shivers creeping up the spine
I wish, fingers crossed, to be mine
But Italians drifting in moonlight
Always putting a constant fight

    There are so many lines throughout this that I really like, they are creative and flow nicely. I also love the title, the title itself draws a picture in my mind.

    At first I wasn't sure about your use of the word me in the 1st and 3rd stanza but after reading it a couple times I realized that it adds a nice touch of repetition in a way.

    You have truly great poetic skills.
    My favorite stanza is:

    Heartbreak-
