I made up my mind:
I’m gonna always be myself
As soon as I decide
Poems, stories, incomplete thoughts and some other terrible lies... (written by a brazilian poet)
I can stay
Without a woman
Without a reason
With no peace in my heart
With no lover, after all
But my jealousy
I don’t like to see the clock
I don’t like when it comes to the end
I know she will keep the door locked
What is lost in translation
Is not only the rhymes
I always have the sensation
That I committed a crime
My love life is a mess
All work and no fun
Everything is more or less
There’s nothing that can be done
I couldn’t sleep yesternight
There were some wicked words
Threatening my sanity
At the moment
Can’t say that I have ever slept
Fear I have that some images
Will come off my mind
And become reality
I thank the Lord
I am awake
I do fear the menace
I shave my face
In front of the mirror
I am careful
Experient
I spread the foam
I clean the blade
I stare at me
Serious, with methodical precision
Full of proper gadgets
I don’t miss childhood
Insomnia is the slow torture of the soul
The prison of dreams
A garden of yellow anguishes
The waiting for never
A bird
Flying
searching for the horizon
A raft in the desert
Waiting for the next rain
The insomniac’s hunger has no name
And when one does not insits that it exists,
when one desists,
It finally goes away
I am where
I want to be
I refrain myself
from thinking
I feel I am
at a non-place
There is joy
There’s disgrace
I travel, dream
Stop the time
I’m the lord
Of mine
And I forget
the obligation
of existance
Then my sleep calls
I disappear a little
Whenever I see her
She knows I ilke her
She pretends so well I am nobody
I spy from the window
My new neighbor
She is old and lives alone
Her hair is dyed
Tired eyes
Fake teeth and rare smile
She’s noisy
Screems, shouts, groans
Snores, yaps, moans
Two o’clock
And the lights are on
Probably thinks of the days
When she was not grown
The waiter stares at me
With his glass eye
Asks if I’m satisfied
As soon he charges the bill
Takes the bottles, just a few
m
I keep waiting for him to take me too
I just don’t know whether I go to the kitchen
Or the garbage can
Half short, half long
In the swing of the bus
Closes her eyes
Sleeps and dreams
Or pretends to sleep
to pretend to dream?
Sees her self
In a Fellini train
Crossing an unknown
Village, a castle
Covered by a golden fog
She knows the journey ends
When she gets to her destiny
But she barely knows where to go
Only knows she wants to leave
This girl is more doubts than certainties
More ideas than beauties
But she’s more free than prisoner
- Crowded bars
- Traffic jams
- Pages full of words
- Parks in sunny days
- Cloudy sky
- Nice dreams
- Cold streets
- Someone else’s bed
- Empty mirrors
- Picture albuns
Wake up sleeping
Stand up falling
Walk going
Work dyiing
Going up going down
Ascending and descending
Promise lying
Eat regurgitating
Drink sweating
Alleviate deflating
Arrive tired
Sleep dreaming
I cut the raw meat
The knife shreds the corpse
The dead does not move anymore
It goes from putrefied to meal
I take a piece
Put it over fire
To disguise the taste of death
She tried to stop her pulse
and cut her wrists
while her heart still beats
Today scars, ugly marks
In the veins, in the arms
Souvenires from the painful delivery
Of the day
When I walk
The Earth moves under my feet
The sun rises
So I can see
The moon shows up
When I need to rest
The river goes
Just to take me
The ocean makes waves
Only to swing me
The mirror only exists
When it shows my reflection
Time goes by
So I won’t be ethernal
To me
There is heaven, there is hell
And to me they invented
Summer and winter
I am the reason
Of the word exist
The world ends
Only when I leave
I am ME
And nobody can be it for me
She put her mouth in my mouth
And with her long cold tongue
Pulled my soul out
Since then I never saw her
I was told they saw it in a rainy afternoon
