Dolce Far Niente

"Buonjiorno carina, hello sweetheart" 
he says with a smile and a stroke of goatee 
Her acqua di Gio is fantasy art,      
un dolce far niente that lingered in scent; 

"La Spiaggia, the beach?"  
he points on to it with a grin and two roving eyes. 
Her manners are suave she just smiles then moves on 
"Ti Prego, I Beg You " 
he says as he follows the trail of her sensuos bod,  
lost in the luxury of un dolce far niente;
"Arrivederci amore mio, goodbye my love"
she whispers to the air that clings to her sultry dress.
 
Scattered showers of desire run through his veins,  
she's Italian this vixen and only she, holds the reins.

Seems like there is a contest with the title of this one as its theme or am I wrong. Very good work with the given title. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Rosa Mystica, I think your foreign play would make Italian film director Guido Contini pleased! I imagine a young Bella playing her part, Valentina, or Francesca. I can hear the ocean waves in the background as she leaves him. Romantico with a bit of tease. Great entry

Definitely, I agree with Ink Empress, French language has always held my heartstrings and made me feel that it's deeply enriched with love and poetic aura.. And the way you've adorned this beautifully romantic piece with such delicate hues, ahh, this is so breathtaking and enchanting dear poetess.. Absolutely a wonderful take for the contest.. So creative!

I could hear her inviting: Chi sa se ti voglio bene? her smile mesmerized him and a beautiful dialogue ensues. Hugs
