Rethinking Bliss




Started pondering about bliss this night...
Trying to digest what I feel...
Don't think the feeling has ever been so great,
so powerful and so ill-timed as it is now...
Words escape me, like the sun-born rays burning my skin...

It has been silence, sweet, wonderful silence!
Her eyes breathing on my neck in the dark of night..
A lonely smile... Perfume polluting my bed...

Swatting Flies with chocolate and guilt

I've wished for things to say that made some sort of sense.

That drunken epiphany that translates into poetry!

Nothing comes to mind other than my hand catching air, searching for that fly I feel buzzing around here.

Myself in the mirror of the forgotten honor, of the unspoken gesture. That buzzing, annoying and unheard.

So I buzz around my reflection, trying desperately to grasp all that I see, all that inadequacy filling up my everyday!

Now I buzz, here and there, wishing I could have someone around to care enough, to take a second and try swatting me from the air...

Just a fly buzzing around, undignified and unheard. So quick and foreseeing.

My reflection looking back at me, hairy and strange, lost in the vomit of disparity and wealth, all things not beautiful and free...
... All things not in the my niece's world, free of politics, religion, dogma, envy and greed.
____________________

I gave her some chocolate before lunch once (she was 4) and mom found out right in the middle of her first tasting of it, oh such ecstasy and delight! After a few hard words of "your uncle is in deep trouble for giving you this", that little girl holding her newly tasted chocolate, proposed that if I could be left out of trouble she would gladly put it down and wait for her salty lunch.

I can't think of a better example of pure ethics..







sexta-feira, 20 de maio de 2011

Continuo acreditando que tenho uma verdade para vir.
Sei que tudo é merda hoje em dia, e sei que não sou o resultado do belo.
Sei que vejo total abstinência da ética, me consumindo, nos consumindo.
Fico querendo apostar em minha indignação.
Fico querendo apostar em minha "apoética" (ou dispoética?).
Não sei mais ser poeta nesse mundo de vômito. Não sei mais.
Tenho raiva e desgosto por essa roubalheira. Por essa amnésia do trabalho digno.
Da politica digna.. Do verdadeiro amor pelo certo.

Hoje tive uma pequena renovação... Uma renovação espiritual pode-se dizer.
Uma musica... Um mantra:

_________________
Musica por Leo Fressato e A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade

Meu amor, essa é a ultima oração pra salvar seu coração..
Coração não é tão simples quanto pensa:
Nele cabe o que não cabe na dispensa.
Cabe o meu amor, cabem 3 vidas inteiras!
Cabe uma penteadeira...
Cabe nos dois, cabe até o meu amor...
... essa é a ultima oração para salvar seu coração..

Ghosts in the machine



Can't really think of a reason for being seen in this world.
Much has been said about the value of friends and the like, but seriously, what is real in there?
What else can I expect, other than the occasional favor or loan?
What else is there in this social realm that I should be counting on?

People talk about this answer to loneliness as if it were set, like a clock.
This empty faith in the will of some deity as a replacement to their lack of true companionship...
... True love...
True will towards a better tomorrow. A swift and hard shift in what defines us as a race.
Something beyond Kant.

How high is the cost of this before us as a global community?

I think that being understood for who I am is over rated (or over stated in my silence),
especially when considering the alternative: being right about it all in a vegetative sea of men.

I know I have no answers to give. I know my ideas aren't answers on their own.
Much less my questions; just as much as this is not a poem or comeback.

This is a statement. A statement of my lack of things to say when looking at the world.

Our wrongs are so obvious to me and yet I feel like I am insane and alone in my thoughts.

I feel like there is no one else around to echo my horizon, my soul.

All the things, all shortcomings of us, all the reasons...
All unheard, unseen, or worst, driven to the oblivion of "the socially inadequate and insane".
The ghosts in the machine.
The socially inapt and distinct, flying under the radar, never braking laws,
never committing any crimes and never, ever, ever being moral.

The atheists.

My father: myself.

Timeless

So here it is, the full spectrum of my colors.
Here I tell you I love you more than anything.
Here I tell you about my unique ability..
My Ability to not care about time, about the past.

Here is my space, empty...
... Of fear, of doubt, of regrets..
I know we are history, and I know we are chemistry..
I know we are pure, naked.. No lies, just surprises.

And I can tell you know it too, I can tell...
I can feel your skin alarming my heart, my head.
Something inside tells me to go with the sunset,
something tells me to go with my soul hidden behind your moon.

All I know is that you are my timeless love.
My timeless passion... My time, throughout the years...
You are my missing link... Yet I wake up alone.
You are my battle for sanity!

You are the only one.

Inadequacy of Eras

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFVlJAi3Cso

I can feel Eddie's words, in that paragraph, deep underneath my bones, like poison.
I feel my blood in need of her..
I can feel my soul screaming, reverberating from far within the black whole of my memories of us...
Of us, of all things that were, all things that were.

I can tell this tale of much more than everything:
Of inadequacy of Eras, of just plain old bad timing..
I can feel that cold of lost chances, everyday, every night, every time I smell her voice, or taste her scent or catch that glimpse of her wondrous soft blues at her door step...
Every time I fall upon my pillow and stupidly hope for dreams...
Every time I'm alone.

Wordless Poet

I wish I could stay free from that impregnating scent of ancient, true love!
Here I am, before a taste of bliss, with those pores staring at me from her neck.
That hand, moving around her perfume. That hand, conducting the orchestra in my chest.
Those eyes.. Those eyes...

Can't leave it alone, this decade of revolutions in my soul, in that everything I gave.
In that everything that I have now, all mine, all mine! All ready now, to be part, not alone, not given, not lost...

... Poet without words...

Our Fathers



There is no paradise, no hell, no river or god...
There are memories, feelings, moments that define who we are.

We have our fears and uncertainties, our moments of doubt.
We have our dreams, our history.

Our Fathers.

There is peace and something divine behind our dreams!
Behind our journey in search of a future.

So I am Atheist and alone.
So I am the great lord of flying plastic in the windy, dusty sunset.

So I am, revolutions, a turning point, never so much it, never again.

I am the illusion of magic and lies. I am this thing, a thing that can fly.

We are Poets!



There are never enough words floating around.
We have much yet to see, we see much yet to tell.
Our work must be of devious words: like my clouds of colorful lips.
We must look out into the sunset of those infinite notes behind our hearts.

Those songs and blood. Our very tears spilled on paper.
We have in us the purpose of creating illusions and absurd truths.
Through our puzzles, through our games...
Through the essence that evaporates around our ink.

We are powerful and unique, we carry with our craft, words responsible.
We carry our ways and stories... Coins. Words. Inventions.
We are free! No need for conventional language.
No need for rules or laws to control our "blisstning" nascence.

We are trapped within our unexplained souls...
We are trapped within our words and silent gaps.
We play with rime and structure without needing them.
We have the gift of true freedom:

We are poets.

Sail Away



I wanted to see our every new start float around my screen...
I thought about you these past few countless nights..
So now my tears are responsible for torrential rains.
So now I know I can't fool this blinking cursor for much longer.

My ears have given space for the many explosions in my head to steam away.
Not much remains to recognize after so many years in my cage for the heart.

At least I know I no longer need your flesh against my mind...
I just want to be free of you.
Just want to sail away now...

The Lover



I am so fucking sick of all that political-religious-cultural bull shit behind these tight minded conservative fuckers around the world, that I can't even sleep in peace..
No reason to swallow nazi propaganda anymore, people.. There is no fucking savior or miracle, no great entity of omniscience! There is only one thing:

The lack of thought behind any small goodness..
We all must break the barrier of morality through love, truth and respect...
Through a pure ethical embrace of the things that define us..
We must learn to love unconditionally (fow evah, evah evah, evah evah, evah)..
Only then we will start to save and fix everything else!

This is a lesson we cannot learn through repression (from rules or religion or fear of social unacceptability).. There is no rule book or set of guide lines in this utopia...
There is only space for that blinding truth watching over the pure of heart... The truly ethical but rarely moral...

The poet, thoughtful and atheist in all of us... The lover.

A Post Card



Behind these words you'll find my sunset on the beach
Just a small taste of what is beyond my heart..

Behind these words you'll find my skin, toasted under
those memories of the love we had, of our scent,
engraved in my mind..

Behind these words is the post card of lonely poet,
sleepless and betrayed by your promises.

Behind these words, the last glimmer of passion
I still carry inside.. Deep inside..

Behind these words, I am naked, raw, I am pure ink.
Behind these words you'll find so much more than dreams.

Behind these words you'll find what you lost long ago.

La Javanaise - Madeleine Peyroux




J'avoue j'en ai bave pas vous mon amour
Avant d'avoir eu vent de vous mon amour
Ne vous deplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson

A votre avis qu'avons-nous vu de l'amour
De vous a moi vous m'avez eu mon amour
Ne vous deplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson

Helas avril en vain me voue a l'amour
J'avais envie de voir en vous cet amour
Ne vous deplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson

La vie ne vaut d'etre vecue sans amour
Mais c'est vous qui l'avez voulu mon amour
Ne vous deplaise
En dansant la Javanaise
Nous nous aimions
Le temps d'une chanson

Burning Jazz


So I can try to behave, go on by the rules..
So I can be one more that swallows whatever.

So I can remember to love...

So I can be love, without the sweet touch of warm skin:
Of painfully planned touches that take me in,
that make me a believer, sufferer..

So I am, lost in all the time burned between us..
Now I am, in you, memory of perfume and great wine..
I am a world, lost, never again found..

I am jazz that burns paper and nothing more..

Poetry in the Dark



There is much pain in loving a cloud:
A crazy lack of gravity…
Delightful torture: this town…

So, in flight, I breathe the beauty of awakening,
the loneliness of discontinued dreams.
Here drifts man of passion and lies…

Here dwells demon of enlightenment…
In the clouds, in the souls,
In the unknown… in my infinite secrets…

My tasteful words…
This delicious ink…
My poetry in the dark…

Dungeon



acho q a língua é deficiente... por mais que exista poesia,
acho q outros sensos (exteriores ao nosso interpretar, a hermeneutica)
são tão profundos, se não mais, que nossa própria imaginação...
acho q não há como definir-me em palavras (ou mais ninguém, por assim dizer)
somos todos pinturas e musicas e sabores... somos poesia e carne
somos perfume, silêncios
olhares
somos vontades digeridas

jamais expelidas
somos cada cabelo sobre o braço... um arrepio
somos horizontes e um grão de areia
somos mares de agua salina... somos sedentos
somos perdidos, consumidos, somos paixão, silenciosa, notívaga...
suspiros e sonhos nem sempre reais:
somos apneia...
me sinto carne muida
um ventilador de raios solares...

O amanhecer...

uma multidão de seguintes... seguidores
sou a fila do banco
me sinto em meio de mortos vivos
me sinto perdido em ilha de 1001 prazeres
me sinto só

Real


Quero ser real!
Algo tangível...
Mais um por do sol.
Um luar talvez?

Quero ser o horizonte, em imagem...


Quero sonhar de menos...
Quero ser marciano, longe daqui!

Quero amar de novo (para sempre)!!!
Doce sabor de paixão...

Quero ter outro dia de herói...
Como aquele de nossos sonhos!

Quero tingir mais que papel
(talvez o ar??)

Quero ser real...

Cotton



I am not a fool..
I am not the one who sees only the given truth...
I can't go on cheating my self..
Not at this point...

So now I have true joy...
Now I have those eyes to bring me around..
Like Amy, "I'm no good"...
So now I'm stuck, now I'm gravitating into you...

Into this bizzare truth.

I'm done...

I can't play like this anymore...
I want to love your every fiber...
I want to love your hair.

I want to give into Dutch skin,
I want a chance to show you a diferent path...
The path you have in you: the path of no lies...
I see moments spent with futile things, just like you have...
For so long...

I am just sick of going back.

I want to go forward.
I want your smile in my morning.
And in my night...

I want you all over this cotton covering my bed.

sábado, 22 de agosto de 2009


Eu já amei o belo.
A mente distante,
a pele fumegante:
O beijo mais puro.

Eu já fiz parte da simetria.
Degustei lábios mediterrâneos.

Eu me joguei sobre o
deserto sem alguma garantia.
Perdi todo o tempo...
Tempo que não possuía.

Eu fiz o amor de fato.
Transformei desta dor, ímpeto:
Ato.

Now



There was I time for short love...
I had something in me, something beyond me..
I dreamed of clear, endless oceans,
I felt this strong lust for a new impossible love...

Now I can't dream anymore...
Now I want to spend endless days running around with you.
Now I just can't wait, I have to give you my sky!
Now I have to dance "I'm yours"...

Wolf's Perfume



There was a time of childish thoughts and lies...
There once was a moment of being my father's son.
Someone right in the middle between mother and brother...
Now I have this dangerous perfume of wolf,
in my Sheep's Old Prada.
Now I have my wine thrown above my head,
now I have my night.
My empty screen of chance...
My blinking cursor. My "other side".
My death number 101! My rebirth number 102!
My every-other-deep-smile.
My Champagne! My stupid morning after!
A fool's moon! A distant friend...

A drunk poet...

An everlasting run around on my keyboard.

A "last call!" before bed.

My beautiful vampire


Sweet dreams, beautiful little vampire of my heart, of my soul...
feel me inside, sucking your mind, touching your heart...
take my hand and be, free, whole, mine.

See me, your missing link, the moment of joy unknown,
the first second of the rest of your life, happy, complete,
in love with truth, with light from which we hide
in our endless nights of passion,
of "half-way" to the moon in an instant...

Be with me, forever, meet your lover,
of different colors and sounds, of perfume,
of wine, of music silent,
of clarity in our hearts...

So, my beautiful vampire,
drain me of my pain and make me whole,
for you are definitely the only one that can...
Kiss me now and feel love at your grasp, our grasp...
dive into my soul and find peace...
find the infinity we deserve...
Together as one,
as laughter,
as we are.

Self-Cleaning Glass



Let me dry up my every wish!
I have to undo these fluid dreams of mine!
Let me work out our every kink,
Re think our last moments!
Let me fight those dark times…

Let me rewrite the voice of my youth…

In this virtual world of mine,
All things happen, all life, is life…
Let me show you miracles of my will.
Let me exist in the planes of lost beauty.
Kiss the lips of recycled plastic!

Let me be weightless!

I do not want to be the infinite wonderful wonder!
I want to belong to this new world.
I want to end this insatiable need of things without meaning!
I want to be self-cleaning glass
A distant mirage of subtle embraces in this stupid desert of the mindless!

Let me be free to open the floodgates of my compulsion!

quarta-feira, 24 de junho de 2009

Lost Friends...



One hopeless moment... One loop...

One chance to make all things earn a place...

One love, one smile... one "forever wish"...

One long lost friend reborn...

sábado, 20 de junho de 2009

Horizon



Nothing better than knowing a true horizon...
Something as tangible as our dreams...

Nothing greater than a horizon:
The time necessary to understand the unseen..

Nothing beyond a wish and the unbreakable knowledge of the everlasting...

No other valuable, besides the sight of infinite landscapes...

Not a race, not a competition...
Just a love for the unknown...
Just the desire for the impossible tittle of being omniscient...

A martyr of will...
An ocean of pure wonder...
An endless potion of words...
A poet lost in semantics.

Raw love



Through my veins, through my thoughts, in my self.
Within my heart, inside my mind, embedded in my soul.
Drenched in my blood, filled by my genes, aware of me.

You are…

My queen, my love, my passion, my life.
My sex, my friend, my owner, my slave.
My woman, my girl, my beauty, my lady.

The one…

Filling me, devouring me, making me, destroying me.
Loving me, satisfying me, having me, being me.
Drinking me, liking me, kissing me.

You make me feel…

Inside you, your lips, your breast, your scent.
Your skin, your hair, your tonge, your love.
Your passion, your mind, your soul, your self.
Love, endless, true and pure…

Raw.

quinta-feira, 18 de junho de 2009

Me



I used to think of prophets and their lies...
I once was a beautiful little kid that dreamed of lies
and stories I had to tell my self...
I wanted to love you, I wanted a moment to lead the way...

... (To us, to what could be us)...

I wanted to tell the truth... I wanted to be still in that embrace...
I wanted not to have been a kid...
I wanted you in my time now... Without My past, without my "crazyness"...

I wanted you to know me...

41 & Sunsets


So now I'm left remembering ghosts,
in a sunset filled by 41...
Here is my mind, lonely and in bliss...

... My infinite day of your scent!

My metro stubs, dissolving in my wallet...
... Just like your face!
My heart, little by little, singing again...
My tears run dry.

Sober lover left behind...
Poet turned Monk!

Never again loved.
Never again lover.

Silently watching your draft from a far...

Never again son...


Just violins and a saxophone.

segunda-feira, 1 de junho de 2009

Dark Space



Let me pollute this place!
Since there is no where else I can shit on!

Let me yell and be stupid!
Let me love and spit all over this place!!

Let me fry, here, under this dark-space!

My vent...

My wonderful vent!

Let me look out there and see stars!
Let me dream and wish MORE!
Let me love these dumb thoughts of your perfume!

Wine Poured on White



I am jazz on paper, I am wine poured on white.
I am poet of nothingness…
Shining mind that sleeps, in the day light.
Angel of endless nights awake… Agony of knowing too much.

Be mine, beautiful woman of silence, and in me discover rain.
In me play and laugh… in me enlighten and disappear.
In me be whole.

Cristalino



Tive um tempo de verdades esquecidas...
Acreditei 100 vezes... Morri 100 vezes...
Sempre do lado do "que pode ser de belo"...

Um ser condenado: eu...
Sempre a cair pelo poço...
Unhas a perder, berros sem ouvidos...

Sou o que sou agora:
Belo calo do amor surdo...

Belo Poeta sem admiradoras...
Ressonante pelas lapides da paixão...
Cristalino.

My Empty Little Wonders



That's when I thought things would work:
Your face....

That's when I found my time machine:
My memories of your lips...

This is now my soul:
A wish...

This is me saying:

You were (and you are no doubt) my empty little wonders...

My half days of lonely dreams...
My Silent blue nights of endless passion...

My past thoughts into the deep red love I had!

Chapter 1 – Loneliness and Introspection: A guide to tearless weeping…


In little less then 4 weeks from D-day I found myself in Italy, on a mission to rescue the possibility of maintaining my family’s financial security… It was April 5th, and my beautiful Italian girl was at the airport hugging me… I was in a dream, everything was perfect, the memories I had forged as a child where being reconstructed, images I had in my mind suddenly changed… It was a dose of disillusion.
And so, embraced by the old, I fell into my self, searching for answers… It, never the less, was a time of love, joy… It was a honeymoon gone wrong. So, through wine, cigarettes, coffee, great restaurants, nights of passion, and more disillusions, I convinced myself that powerless I was from the begging, and being powerless was my fate.
My return was marked for the 25th of April, but in less then 2 weeks I had decided to stay indefinably.
So, in 4 weeks I had an apartment, and was living alone.
The greatest lesson I failed to learn immediately upon my father’s passing was that one cannot count on any person, regardless of their promises; It is futile, an illusion that once undone, deeply wounds.
So there I was, spending endless hours alone, in that apartment, in the middle of nowhere, waiting for brief moments of joy with my girl. I had thrown everything I had up in the air, my car, business, friends, family, home, college, etc… believing I had found the woman of my life. Ignorance is not bliss, ignorance is ignorance… There is no escaping it, there is no greater truth. Maybe, the wisdom that made my dad what he was, was what propelled him to do what he did… Which raises the question: is knowing too much a curse or did he find himself knowing that he was satisfied with the outcome of his life?
In this case, is death the culmination of one’s life or is it the simple end of it?
So, alone, in the cold, illuminated by the monitor of his computer, I spent dozens of nights thinking… apparently of nothing, for it was a time of much silence, and few conclusions…
3 Months passed from my departure and there I was, getting on a plane, broke, sad, betrayed… Angry.
The world was my enemy, life my torturer and love my executioner.
I got back home in parts… I was a broken man.
My love of Europe had lasted 13 years, based on the memories of a kid that no longer existed.
I had rediscovered my roots, and they had no earth to grow in. I understood that it was not a place, home I mean, but a state of spirit, of mind… They were simply the past.
I was lost, I was alone. I was a blinking cursor on a blank page.

Somos

Uma continuação, um começo, uma verdade...
O equilíbrio dos pesos,
a gravidade entre energias,
e nós os seres da equação...
As possibilidades remotas da paixão,
o encontro de tudo que não pode ser...

Impossibilidades entre outras em um mundo impossível,
em um canto irreal,
em momentos de amor...
Banhado por sangue queimado,
de bombas e ódio,
de petróleo e champagne...

Nós podemos desaparecer,
virar um enigma da sociedade,
uma pergunta perdida nas calçadas da verdade,
um ser esquecido,
um amor real,
um sexo concluído,
um carinho sem dívidas...
Uma luva da mão divina,
o verdadeiro sim.

Vontade Absurda



Sinto doce perfume de labios-sorriso...
Reconheço em ti fibras de cabelo-paixão.
Algo alem do "sabor e ar - saborear".
Uma imagem do belo e da listra (cor) azul.

Um infeliz momento para passar batido...
... Sem te conhecer...

Vontade absurda de saber o gosto do teu luar...
Vontade absurda de ter uma mulher retentora
da beleza sem par...

Weathered heart



I guess I know you, so I throw my hands to the wind...

Years go by, now I wave at my self…

All I want is to reconize this weathered heart
of mine in your draft…

All I want is your perfume on the sidewalk…

My wish is...

My dream is...

Your skin covering my bed again...

Escuro Lilás



Mulher de escuro lilás!
Mulher de lindo olhar...
Quero pertencer ao perfume de noite desigual...
Noite sem par...

Quero conhecer teu sabor,
quero sentir o desmoronar
de mundo injustamente proporcional!
Quero beijar lábios sedentos!
Quero sentir doce aroma de seios banhados pelo luar...

Quero ver a escuridão de teus olhos...
Quero saber você, quero saber você...

Wonder



This is my work: pure silence.
These are my tears: simple and cold…
I am man of code and screen…
The android of all broken hearts.

A testimonial of tenderness in midst of chaos…
A man that cannot help but feel…
So, again, after so long, I retry…

Here comes one more attempt...
A desperate cry…
Never enough words, nor thoughts…
Just a buzzing silence…

This is my heart… this is my solitude:
… The absence of you…
A hole in my soul: sleeplessness.

So again, I find myself before this blinking cursor,
Again I am poet of fantasies…
A prisoner of semantics, of insufficient vocabulary…
I am a man, desperately searching for your scent,
In the darkness of my bed.

Just a broken half, a broken half…

And so I fight, and so I awake, everyday, and lie…
And, in your draft, I have become beautiful dreams of white snow.
True love, selfless and silent…
A memory of a kiss on your bare shoulder while you pretended to sleep…

…Locked in my arms…

Now I hunt down the dawn of my never ending night…

Now I search relentlessly for your love.

Now I know the wonder I once had...

Planador



Choro e penso, silencio de manhã chuvosa...
Sou homem de inúmeras palavras, amo em silencio
sonho de beijo sutil...

... Eu...

Não Paro, não ando: sou planador...

Quero e luto...
Digo sem falar...
Amo sem tocar...
Perco tempo...
Bebo, fumo, acordo sempre só...

Sou Poeta do obvio que ninguém vê...
Sou homem da noite, pois no dia não vivo...
Sou tesão na veia de mulher perdida...
Sou alegria e paixão...


Sou ser perdido, futuro reluzente, cego presente...
Sou objeto da sua procura:
Sou transparente...

Desprendimento



Sou ser do abandono...
Solidão de mundo desigual...
Tenho tanto dentro de mim,
Admiro tanto,
Sinto tanto.

Muito mais alem dos olhos vejo.
Cicatrizes de jovem órfão.
Sou ser de inúmeros sonhos...
Ambições sem fim.

Amo em silencio,
Sofro por traz do véu...
Realidade só minha...

Sou existência do impossível,
Poeta do monocromático.
Não tenho na alma necessidade de ser mal...
E assim tenho cruel mundo de solidão...

... assim tenho multidão de ausências...
Mundo repleto de ecos e admiração.

Vontade de dentro, de pertencer!
Vontade de dentro de rir para o vento,
De chorar pra chuva...

... Sempre meu segredo,
Sempre minha paz:
Essa vontade.

Então aqui deixo depoimento,
Feito em riscos (no papel ou no agir).
Deixo parte de meu âmbito “bitter-sweet”
na musica da dor...
... Do desprendimento...

Ink or Blood



There is something strange about feeling a blade on my bones…
Something wrong and warm…
That kind of pain we know of only in dreadful dreams, scary moments of dark nights…

So, now, no words, no whispers…
Not a deaf man, not blind…
I am a cute little dumpling: sweet and sour…
Man of boring stories… Man of endless words…

So I give my heart to this paper… unique and worthless…
A part of me unheard and unfelt…
… My dreams… My forever-wish…
The soul of me… Atheist and alone…

My felicity, my smile…
My last drop of passion…

… This ink coursing through my veins…

Panquequeiros


Tem vezes que quase acredito que sou uma panqueca, pois são tantos a me tentar...

Acho que sou talvez quieto demais!

Me enrrolam, me enchem de delicias....

Mas continuo lutando contra essa maré de relutancia, contra essas pessoas que acham que sou bobo.

Sou destituido de ilusões. Mas sou educado, doce... A pena é que perco tanto quanto esses panquequeiros, pois tento acreditar que posso ser parte de um todo maior, que posso doar belezas subterfugias.

Tambem creio que posso crescer com contos biograficos regurgitados sobre uma mesa de bar qualquer.

Por isso não desisto. Por isso continuo na esperança de que agua mole em pedra dura....

Stupid, stupid boy!

Friday The 13th


Friday, march 10th… My dad gave me the money to pay my college tuition…
Saturday, march 11th... Woke up at 2 in the afternoon, worked from 4 to 8 and got drunk with friends.
Sunday, march 12th... Woke up at 2 in the afternoon, went to work but didn’t work, talked about women and school, picked up some things in the supermarket, went home at 8PM for dinner with family.
Monday, march 13th, 2 AM. The phone rang, it was the police… “It appears that your father committed suicide”.
This is where my story truly begins, at the end.
The guilt of wasted time teaches much. In a moment such as the one I search words to describe, not much can be said, for, before it happens, is unimaginable, and after, indescribable.
I hung up the phone, there was lots of screaming in the house. My brother was sleeping, my mother was awake, we all ran out of the house, jumped in my car… I drove to the beach, half a mile away…
It’s a beautiful place, a fishing community… One of the oldest parts of town…
The water is calm and warm, the sand a bit thick… From here the view is breath taking… One can see all of downtown, the old bridge, mountains… at night, city lights, in the day, sailing boats encored, the sea…
This is a place of tourism, excellent restaurants, tranquility… a romantic place.
Dad was on his back, his shirt open…
He spent all night out thinking, by the pool, he seemed stressed about the treatment, as we thought, that he was supposed to start on Monday.
I was watching a DVD… He came in, made me pause it, asked me about the collateral effects of interferon in one’s body… Mom had given us a book to study a few months earlier, so to prepare us for the changes that were about to take place with our father… So, promptly, I listed: memory loss, confusion, hair loss, gastric-intestinal complications, impotence, general pains, anemia, etc… He stopped me, and asked: “Angel, how do you think I will be able to continue giving the life you are accustomed to without my job while on this drug?”
This was his reason, his message… I told him that we would find a way, told him to not worry…
He walked away, went upstairs to sleep, I presumed, grabbed his colt 38 and silently left the house…
At the beach the police awaited us, as if a TV show was about to start… He was all wet, his eyes closed and filled with blood, my mom fainted. I couldn’t get close at first, but then, for a second, I looked at his chest and it was moving, he was breathing! I ran and kneeled beside him, all that blood, I didn’t want to touch him, almost as if someone was holding me back… Yet, I was certain, even at less then 2 feet away, that his chest was really moving, I had to be sure it wasn’t a hallucination… I placed my hand above his mouth, it was wide open, filled with blood, his jaw had been dislocated from the impact of the shot, so I put my ear to his nose, nothing… Then it came to me: “his chest, touch it”… His skin was cold and rubbery, the sand under his head was crimson… Now I was sure… I wanted to kiss him… I can’t remember if I did…
Some how I didn’t cry right away… I walked around some, talked to the police, made a phone call to my aunt… It was like I was on auto-pilot.
2:45 AM. They had just covered the body… The van from the morgue arrived… he was taken away…
My mom was somewhat awake… My aunt, uncle and 2 cousins arrived right before 3…
I helped my aunt and cousin take my mom home, while my brother, uncle and other cousin went downtown to square things with the police and with the morgue.
The first thing I felt was pain… Allover my body, everything hurt, like I had been in a street fight alone against a dozen people… I could barely walk… The second thing was the complete lack of tiredness… It seemed like a dream, a nightmare without a feeling of danger.
Time stood still, the hours passed, the sun came up but it made no difference, like it didn’t exist… night, day, minutes, hours… all the same…
I don’t know if your life really flashes before your eyes when you die, but it certainly did that day before mine… I don’t know… Some new mechanism was created in me after that moment… It’s a constant thinking, it takes away your ability to sleep, eat… You just think endlessly…
Memories, imaginations, it’s like a movie, a very long movie, some of it real, some of it fiction…
I must have tried to save him a thousand times in my dreams the few nights I slept, always without success.
It was amazing to discover how many friends I had… In the early morning there were about 20 people at my house… It happened so fast, one phone call to a friend was enough, people gave me backrubs, made me stuff to eat, even laid down in bed with me and tried to help me sleep some… Everybody I knew was at the cemetery… In 17 hours he was under… Just like that… 57 years of life ended in a split second, and disappeared in 17 hours…

Stupid, Stupid Boy!


So sad the lack of truth..
The word that never comes through…
Something more then we are…
The desperate scream of fabel minds, trying to grasp the notion of eternal love…. Those insects, mindless of the path to follow…

What a damned existence, that of some human animals…
Victims of this centenial culture of ignorant prayer…
Gods of the stupid, of the “cheap soul”…

What is the stobbern side of me that says “I love this”?
What am I thinking?
Where did this uncondicionality come from??

How can I love this place as much as my sight of it’s crudness??
This rage I feel… The anger..

Where did “Me” go?
Why do I believe the words of the unknown?

Do I recreate something of an image of the stupid sircumstances in this crazy love I search?

Where am I wrong?

Where is the “magic word”?

Such a stupid boy…
Stupid, stupid boy!
