Italia

The Italian countryside.

Exquisite red wine in my wine glass.

Under a shaded balcony off of this old two-story house.

I have ridden my bike from where I live to here.

My lover sits on the balcony with me.

I delicately hold her hand within mine.

"Ti amo tanto," she says to me, with her brown eyes gazing into mine.

We listen to the wonderful pieces of Frank Sinatra.

The Sun begins to set in the distance.

And this is what life is.
