Angels
Tomorrow afternoon, bellissima Linda,
You and I will escape, head off, side by side,
Excited for our journey together,
For now's forever,
To gentle romance's most enchanted lands,
Eternal Rome and Queen of the Adriatic, Venice.
In continual impassioned embrace,
We'll commend our tender sensuality to both places,
By leaving traces of our love's vibrant praises
In every piazza and campo, chiesa and via
Where our tireless feet
Will try to keep pace with our mesmerized eyes.
And when we finally return from then, again,
Both of us will be clothed in a glow
Known only to angels floating in Michelangelo's frescoes.
