Translated (1)
“In my heart”
is turned to
“Nel mio cuore.”
But “my heart”
is edged and sharp
A wall goes up
to keep you out.
“Mio cuore” opens,
embraces,
softly folds you in.
What love conveys
is both the same
and not.
Believe in me,
whichever tongue I speak.

Speak to me of love
in your English tongue
and I shall offer
Italian caresses.
