Dante Alighieri and I

You’re the king of my universe
your poetry ignites my gentle heart
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul

In this the tempestuous ocean of life
our paths have never crossed
there is no greater sorrow
than knowing our hands will never touch

but you are deep within me
from my love of poetry
you’ve led me to your great wisdom

“Love which absolves no one is beloved from loving”

you’ve captured me with your charm
my love for you will bring me to my tragic death
​​​​and in eternity of hell

and from there…

we shall finally ignite this great love.
