Talvez-um-dia

Maybe.Someday

Dois pedaços de inexistente vidro moldaram-se aos meus sonhos. Derreteram, envolveram a minha pele e, como não me podiam tocar, entraram no que de mim é intocável. Nenhum aviso. Acordaram uma qualquer voz que um qualquer Outono embalou e, mesmo sem saber qual das muitas é, agora há sempre mais uma. Estes vidros incomodam- me com a sua não-presença, amedrontam-me com a sua textura e completam-me com o seu reflexo...Esta existência incompleta, este “talvez-um-dia”, estes sonhos desenhados e esculpidos na minha mente, que dirijo como actores, apoderaram-se do meu palco e fundiram-se com os meus planos. Estes vidros são peça impossível de remover, que talvez me cortem quando forem um todo, que talvez me deixem sem palco e sem actor.
Talvez-um-dia verei a tua cor e me deleitarei na tua sombra. Vidros....espelhos da alma, em tons e contrastes. Talvez-um-dia, quando a chuva cair na minha mão, não reflicta o meu palco, mas aquela voz que eu já não sei qual é. Até lá, apenas actores, falas, histórias e tudo o mais que me aguenta o corpo e me sacia a sede de existência e de presença. Mas aquele bater na tua porta...Aquela chuva…mais longe do que perto e mais perfeita do que imperfeita, não se desvanece nem vacila. Pago o bilhete para vê-la todos os dias. E todos os dias reescrevo a peça. E todos os dias mudo a melodia. Quem me dera comprar um bilhete para o teu palco, que sei que também o tens, mas tudo o que eu desejo agora é que chova em mim! Que chova em nós! Mas que chova gelado, molhado, que me adoeça e me ensope os cabelos, até que o gelar de mim me diga que estamos vivos e existimos um no outro! Talvez.Um.Dia. Que o meu corpo sinta e veja, mas não pense, que pensamentos já os gastei quase todos. Até lá, espero, sonho e desejo
…E reservo um bilhete para o teu palco, na esperança que ele não saia de prazo.

Utopia

Well, I'd love to say something profound today, but I'm stuck with Utopia (yep, the Thomas More one). Have I mentioned how pleasant life would be without History tests?

Watching The Tudors is so much better, and we still learn everything.
(Plus it has Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Henry Cavill)

*sigh*
Did you know that all the utopians wore the same loose leather overalls? And that they kept each for about 7 years?

Oh! And they didn't have beer.

O.o...

u.u...

Today


I don't know what to say today. I guess I've run, temporarily, out of poetry in my vains. And now all that's left is this raw and compulsive network of information, from which I extract my poetry. It is dangerous to write from it. The words come without their usual cover, and the pages turn into regular diaries full of ideas and dreams, instead of their beautifuly trimmed twin. In short: You'll get exactly what I feel and what I think.
If you know me, you probably know how I dislike that.
That doesn't mean I can't try to work things out.

There's been a post that inspired me. (http://aprfbeat.blogspot.com/2010/08/hoje-nao-tenho-vontade-de-escrever.html) My cousin speaks of little moments that we miss and that we delight in remembering. They become this icon of simple happiness and thinking of them takes us to that sweet, special place inside.

Have you ever found yourself remembering something so simple and realizing "I didn't know how happy I was then..."? And we didn't. Happiness passes us by so fast, that we don't even see it. When we realize it had paid us a small visit, years have already gone by and it is far gone again.

A few days ago, at my gandmother's house, we gathered close to the window and talked about the stars. We talked about how the light that we see now is already so very old.

Happiness is just like a star. Always beautiful, always out of reach and yet lighting up the darkness of the night. And we aknowledge only the light that has shone so long ago...because it is the only light we can see.

But what if we take a step forward? What if we realize that this light is constantly shining? Maybe then we'd know that today,this very hour and this very minute, will shine upon us, years from now. And we'll miss this very moment and wish we could come back and sit here again, in front of this screen. We will wonder how it was ever possible for us to overlook and not aknowledge the great value of Today.

So, don't.

Nights


"the night is warm but Lonely
i should be crawling in
You're fast asleep but i am Waiting"

A. Wright



Small Pleasures



I just remembered. A few years ago, I got an e-mail and it was the cutest thing ever. It was a list of little things in our day that made us feel good and it was meant for us to read whenever we felt down. So then we'd remember that, in spite of all the bad things that fall upon us, we'd still have these cute precious somethings to brighten our day and bring a smile to our faces. I felt like making a list of my own. Of course there's no specific order =p (Some are originally from the e-mail)

- A hot shower before going to sleep
- Kissing in the rain
- Getting a back massage
- Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep
- Laughing so hard that your belly hurts
- Wraping presents for christmas
- Running into a friend you haven't seen in years
- Long-distance phone calls
- Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired present from you
- The sunrise
- The smell that remains in the air, after it rains
- Your grandmother/grandfather
- When there are just a few seconds to go before midnight, on new Year's Eve
- Your best friend
- Awesome conversations that go on for hours
- A new pet
- Inside jokes
- Falling in love
- Lying on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the rain outside
- Seeing someone you've missed very much
- No lines
- Hearing your favorite song on the radio
- Realizing that some good things never change
- Black Vodcka
- Chocolate
- Old videos
- Stuffed animals (ok, boys, don't complain about this one)
- Eye contact with a cute stranger
- Grandmother's food
- Helping a friend
- The sound of waves
- Meeting a person you get very well along with
- When someone misses you
- Getting presents from someone, when you weren't counting on it
- Having a really nice dream
- Hearing laughter from your friends
- When something you want really bad is on sale for half the price
- Laughing for no reason
- Realizing that someone dear loves you
- Ice Cream
- Vacation
- Singing really loud when you're alone
- Going through your old pictures
- When the bell rings and the class is over
- Drinking water when you're thirsty
- Finally lying down on your bed, when you're tired
- The feeling after finishing exams
- A song that reminds you of good old moments
- Going to the cinema and eating popcorn
- A helping hand when you least expect it
- Buying a new magazine
- Your old toys
- Receiving a compliment
- When you open a text message and it is from the person you wanted to hear from
- Eating out
- Drinking beer with your friends
- Old songs
- Daydreaming... ;)

Please tell me if I forgot something.
I probably did. There are too many good things in life.

One of Many




-One Of Many-

The voice now swears, in rapid secrecy, that my days to come I could finally see. Mistakable voice, seldom speaks, never is, takes a chance and sings to me.  The words fall free,
bright, safe, scared
loved, named, tamed
 I know not their shade, I know not my name, but they ravish my soul in strong, sparse waves.

Simplify

Most of the times we don't know where to go...which path to follow.
In our minds it reads:



Let go?
Wish?

Jump?                                                                                                                                        Back off?

Believe?
Question?


Try?
Give up?

Face it?                                                                                                                                  Deny it?


Show?
 Hide?

Black?
White?

Heart?
Head?

But why do we split everything in two?

My Light




"I feel you but I don't really know you
I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you
And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes
The sky... the sea... the light
(...)
The light is you..."

Dreaming Light, Anathema

Wheels Of Fortune


Those foggy horizons, I remember
Those hopeless nothings, I recall
Those everlasting seconds, I summon

By means of magic, dark or sacred -
For it is the same - they have gone.

Will they ever hide?

Those turning wheels of fortune, I foresee
Those blood-pumping hours, I prophecize
For those rainy ends, I long

By means of destiny, human or divine -
For it is the same - they have come.

Will they ever show?

To Wait

To Wait
(...)
And my heart is frozen blue, hanging by a moment. Holding onto the moment when I won’t wait anymore. But maybe then I will want to wait again, and again, and yet again... One day, in some distant blurry future I will miss this grudging demon that I've welcomed into myself and laid down to sleep in my chest.
At times, the unknown dark ahead falls upon my loving heart and I find myself throwing my dreams at it, like weaponry. They shine with light and will. But sometimes they flicker, and when they do I get scared, like a little child. Because of that, the dark crawled up my skin and placed itself where my love shines. Must be why it gets so heavy at times.
To Wait is a constant, everlasting fight. My head against my heart, against my soul, against my body. My doubt against my love, against my dreams, against my needs.
Seconds go by, ever so slowly. I’ve counted endless numbers and then I’ve distracted myself and lost the count. So I started over, not knowing when I will stop, or if I’ll ever stop. So I dream of the day when I will. Always needing, always wanting.
I wish and crave, with the deepest meanings of my existence, for this constant, wild, alcoholic thirst to be sated, just once.
So, in this unending sea full of seconds I’m lying on, I fill a glass full of dreams.
And I drink.

Pieces.Lost


“I dreamt that the world was a big, colorful puzzle.
The big puzzle had a billion different pieces.
Each one of those pieces was a soul.
For each soul, there was a right place.
And we were all connected.”
