wishful thinking

the cool dampness of the night; unstirred, holds her breath; the breath which moves through me and connects me to all that is you. the moon draws her breath, each moment of her night, she is lucky; the gaze beckons softly but surely and yet unclear certainties disturb the mind. makes me want to run to a corner and cozy up to something warmer and beyond words, maybe getting into a matchbox with a name like Vittoria Grande or finding my fingers warmly ensconed in your lightly held grasp. i am the queen of wishful thinking after all.

First I felt the power between the lyrical and "her". Then I googled "Vittoria Grande", but even the internet doesn't know about someone with this name. So it is to me what it is: a great victory. The other side of the same medal called "fallen in love". Nice work!

Best wishes
Ralf

Lovely write, Gulnaz...You are the Queen of wistful writing, too :)

Some Vittoria Grande Baldoria is on the facebook and some other sites...couldn't make out who or why the name is chosen her...but Vittoria Grande sounds great :)
