The Essence of Us


One day, I found Annie Ernaux's book "Passion Simple" and read it at once. It made me think that I would be capable of writing my own story in a similar fashion.


I had a strong story in my  body and mind, floating in my veins, one that entirely changed me and my life forever  in a very tangible way but, when I was about to put it down on paper I realized that the  facts were very scarce. Almost nothing happened in the real life to write about even if it was a passion, even if it entirely changed me from inside out and despite the fact that the object of my affection was indeed a person who lived and interacted with me under a short period of time.


Is it a pure phantasy? This is what I leave over to you to decide. If you asked me I would say definitely not -  I would answer you that it was more real that the life itself.

I don't know you 

Let Me Take You Home


By traveling among stars


we burn parts of the ones that we were


amplifying each other


to the point of no return


until the essence remains, alone,


among millions of years, lives


we burn.
