Ponte Vecchio, Firenze

Strolling along in Firenze, we found this.

Padlocks (or Love Locks) on the Ponte Vecchio in Firenze was (supposedly) considered a customary act by sweethearts to symbolize their everlasting love to each other. We didn't have a lock while there but I hope we still believe in everlasting romantic love (or so I like to think).

Just be careful not to incur a hefty fine while pursuing this.

Love ain't easy. Every so often, even Cupid needs a cigarette break as this one did.

This little one with words

This little one wants to offer you words
Words strung together like a candy necklace
That you can hang and wear and chew
With shaken hands, this little one will present it to you

I like words this little one whispered
Like an ancient secret to be kept close
How do you mean, little one
Words are free, silly
Costs nothing yet it means everything, this little one reminded you

Like I love you, the little one said

Or you're beautiful
You say it and it takes nothing but means everything
Just don’t wait till it’s too late
An earnest smile, this little one winked
