Oh Hollow, Cover Me
Disappear in my arms,
to a different place, away,
a haven in our beating breasts,
sacred in tempo and true form.
Drown the world with me,
and be lost in this kiss.
As the sky swirls
and tumbles above us,
hold and catch flight
steal away in evanesce.
Leave the posers who feign,
gaucherie imposters,
blury figures, mere shadows,
reflections of a fire behind us,
on a cold cave wall,
selling imitations of love,
and empty guestures.
Oh Hollow, cover me,
in sweet hills and daffodils,
in flowers soaked in rain,
caressing me, outside of time,
with a deeper sillage that
lingers in the leaves,
taking hold of me,
hiding in me,
until the next sunrise.

Il SalvAmore: ovvero il salvadanaio dei Valori con la A maiuscola di +katia boccio Kindle edition
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01MR0RIQ1/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_.cuzybPBQBXW0
What is The Salvamore?
A mix of poetry and prose, a piggy bank made of emotions, hearts, values, love indeed!
A book written from the heart and speaks to the heart of the young and energetic in trying to help them orientate in an era of great bewilderment and dismay.
It is inside the soul of the world ... And it is open to anyone who wants to enrich it incessantly, in an endless chain of healthy and constructive ideas.
Just for that I hope will soon become viral and contagious ...
Because everything we are experiencing today is nothing more than a problem of values. And, only by spreading the values and education of new generations, we can really do it!
This time we have to win the bet! This is the new challenge that awaits us.
