'I Think You have The Most Beautiful Mind'

I THINK YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MIND

 

‘I think you have

The most beautiful mind’

You said

While distractedly tracing

Invisible paths

On my stretched naked body

Absentmindedly teasing

The tiny silver bar

My Cupid’s arrow

That pierces

My left nipple

Playing on the overgrown field

Of my chest

Going down, down, down

Past the ploughed plank

Of my abs

Fingers as dangerous

As Medusa’s eyes

And her reptilian hair

‘I think you have

The most beautiful mind’

You said

As that spark took life

In your hand

And put our bed on fire

Flames as strong as our desire

And everything ran red

Then black, in the end

As the ashes of our love died

In the arms of a new day

Eventually, I set it up                    Infine, lo misi sù
Carefully choosing photos            Scegliendo con cura le foto
Including close-up shots               Incluso primi piani
Of my engorged sex                     Del mio sesso turgido
Hairy chest, broad shoulders        Petto villoso, ampie spalle
Pumped muscles and all               Muscoli pompati e tutto il resto
Profile done, at last                       Profilo pronto, alla fine
Sent through the airwaves            Spedito nell'etere
In search of feedback                   In cerca di un feedback
A virtual contact                          Un contatto virtuale
In times of emptiness                   In tempi di vuoto
In the skin-to-skin department     Nel dipartimento pelle su pelle
Then went to work                       Poi andai a lavoro
Eaten alive and swallowed          Sbranato vivo e inghiottito
In the nothingness                       Dal nulla
Of other people’s lives                Delle vite degli altri
Dreams and expectations            Dei loro sogni e aspettative
Lost in the silent roar                  Perso nel ruggito silente
Of the fighting crowd                  Della folla in lotta
And forgot about it all                E me ne dimenticai
Back home, at last                      A casa, infine
I put my greedy finger                Misi il mio dito affamato
On the waiting icon                    Sull'icona in attesa
That kept staring at me               Che continuava a osservarmi
From the algid screen                 Dall'algido schermo
And you were there                    E tu eri lì
Hungry eyes of a wolf                Occhi bramosi di lupo
Swollen lips, pecs and biceps     Labbra gonfie, pettorali e bicipiti
Ready to be worshipped             Pronti per l'adorazione
As newly found idols                 Come idoli nuovi di zecca
Everything larger than life         Tutto fuori misura
Everything louder than war        Tutto più assordante della guerra
No need for words, though         Nessun bisogno di parlare, però
A silent contract sealed              Un silenzioso contratto siglato
Time and place agreed               Orario e luogo fissati
The hotel room to share             La camera d'albergo condivisa
On the edge of the Universe      Ai confini dell'Universo
One hour later                            Un'ora più tardi
And I plunged into you              E mi gettavo in te
Into your foreign flesh               Nella tua carne sconosciuta
Licking, biting, feeding             Leccando, mordendo, nutrendomi
But not surprised to find            Ma non sorpreso di scoprire
My mind wandering off            La mia mente già altrove
My next, upcoming                   Sul prossimo, imminente
