Life, death and the change that never ends...


Forget not yet the tried intent'

'Forget not yet, forget not this,
How long ago hath been, and is,
The mind that never meant amiss.
Forget not yet.

Forget not yet thine own approved,
The which so long hath thee so loved,
Whose steadfast faith yet never moved:
Forget not this.'

A Mitologia e as (ditas) Ciências Exactas?


"Entre a História e a Mitologia, prefiro a segunda. A História parte da verdade e ruma em direcção à mentira... enquanto que a Mitologia, parte de uma mentira... mas procura aproximar-se da verdade!" (by Jean Cocteau)

In "Eu Me Lembro" de Mestre De Rose (Edições Afrontamento)

El Desierto ... your love. (Lyrics by Lhasa)


You just need to really listen the voice of this woman!??? :)

"He venido al desierto, para irme de tu amor...
Que el desierto es más tierno... y la espina besa mejor!
He venido a este centro, de la nada pa gritar...
Que tú nunca mereciste, lo que tanto quise dar?
Que tú nunca mereciste, lo que tanto quise dar... haha...

He venido al desierto, pa irme de tu amor...
Que el desierto es más tierno... y la espina besa mejor...
He venido a este centro, de la nada pa gritar...
Que tú nunca mereciste...

He venido yo corriendo, olvidándome de ti?
Dame un beso pajarillo... no te asustes colibrí!
He venido encendida, al desierto pa quemar...
Porque el alma prende fuego, cuando deja de amar!
Porque el alma prende fuego, cuando deja de amar... haha..

He venido yo corriendo... olvidándome de ti!
Dame un beso pajarillo, y no te asustes colibrí?
He venido encendida... al desierto pa quemar...
Porque el alma prende fuego...
.... quando deja de amar!???"

Sábias palavras "alheias"...

... here's a nice "portuguese saying", that a dear friend sent me recently by mail:

"QUEM DE DENTRO DE SI NÃO SAI, VAI ACABAR POR MORRER SEM AMAR NINGUÉM"

*Retaliation* is ON!

"Safe From Harm"
(parts of *Tricky* lyrics)


"Midnight ronkers, city slickers, gunmen and maniacs...
All will feature on the freakshow...
And I can't do nothing about that, no...
But if you hurt what's mine, I'll sure as hell retaliate!

You can free the world, you can free my mind...
Just as long as... my baby's safe from harm tonight!
You can free the world, you can free my mind...
Just as long as... my baby's safe from harm tonight!

I was lookin' back... to see if you were lookin' back at me?
To see me lookin' back... at you.

Lucky dippers, crazy chancers... seems to be moving fast?
What happened to the nice cities, of my childhood days?
Well... i can't do nothing 'bout that, no...
But if you hurt what's mine... I'll sure as hell retaliate!!!

I was lookin' back... to see if you were...
I was looking... I was... I was lookin' back, to see if you were lookin' back at me? To see me... lookin' back at you!

You can free the world, you can free my mind...
Just as long as... my baby's safe from harm tonight!
You can free the world, you can free my mind...
Just as long as... my baby's safe from harm tonight!

Tell us what it's dangerous?
Friends and enemies... I find it's contagious!?
And they're spreading through your system... like a virus!
Yes... the trouble in the end... it makes you anxious...

I was lookin' back... to see if you were...
I was looking... I was... I was lookin' back, to see if you were lookin' back at me? To see me... lookin' back at you!

But if you hurt what's mine... I'll sure as hell retaliate!"

It is YOUR grave, not mine. (lyrics by Dead Can Dance)


"I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
With your hands held in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
'Tis time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am stained by the weather

When my family thinks
That I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air
With tears both hot and wild
Oh I grieve for the girl
That I loved as a child

The priests and the friars
Behold me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead
I would still be your shelter
From rain and from storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm"

Oh, but I will feel warm... against all odds, I will survive the storm!
Coz... my life now... is mine to belong.

Driving a... DEAD soul...

I will keep my helmet on...

Find someone that cares for you...
And I... will dress my songs... cause I care for you!
'cause I... will take my time... driving you slow?

Driving out, cause I care for you!
And then... someone loves you... but I don't care for you?
And I.. I will keep my love!
'cause I will be... your love.
oh no...

Hundred times... I could care for you...
But then... I found that girl, that could smile for you?
And I... start to be something...
And I... I don't care!?
Why should I care?

I will get my life! 'cause... I will be your love!
Oh no...

Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back... Don't look back!

I will kill my world!
I will sing my song!
And I... I will keep my helmet on...
And I... I will kill my world, I will sing my song, I will keep my smile on...

And you... you could rule my world... you can rule my songs...
But I... I will keep my helmet on!
And then... I will kill your world!
I will sing my song... I will keep my helmet on...
Oh no...

Oh don't... don't, oh don't... don't you?
Find someone that cares for you!
And I... I will dress my songs, cause I care for me!
And I... I will take my time... driving you slow...
Driving out, cause I cared for you...
And then... someone loves... you? but I don't care for you...
And I... 'cause I will get my love... and I will be loved.

Oh no... Don't look back!
Don't look back... don't look back... don't look back.
And now... I will kill my world, I will sing my song...
I will keep my helmet on.

A Rosa ausente d'Alma

"Cinzento Metal" (by Rosa Melo)
Vou polindo, afincadamente
o alumínio
Vidra-se a àgua, só assim... invisível.

Limpeza geral,
hoje, amanhã... sempre.
Eu... ou a... Outra:
... para que à noite me sinta bem.

Construção sobre escombros,
cabeça clara... hoje...
Para amanhã... desabrochar em rosa.

Deixo-te dormir.
Que não neve neste nosso céu...

Get around!!!!!!!

(lyrics by M.A.U. - man and unable )
Hey, pretty baby,
Wont you come with me?
Cause i got,
Something different
That you wanna see...
Cause i want you!
Yes, i want you!

Hey, pretty lady,
Could you dance with me?
Cause i got,
Something cool... that you wanna feel!
Yes, i want you!
Oh, i want you!

I wanna do it like this...
I wanna do it like that...
I wanna do it over here!
I wanna do it over there...
Cause i love you!
Or maybe i just... wanna fuck you!

I wanna do it like this!
I wanna do it like that...
I wanna do it over here...
I wanna do it over there!
Cause i love you...
Or maybe i just wanna... fuck you!

Cause i'm feeling like this...
Yes, i'm feeling like this!
Cause i'm feeling like a... mother fucker... baby!
Yeh, I'm feeling like a mother fucker... baby...

Yes, i'm feeling like this!
Cause i'm feeling like this!
Cause i'm feeling like a mother fucker... baby...
Yeh, I'm feeling like a murderer... baby!
Yes, i'm feeling like this... this, this! dance... dance...
Dance, dance... this... this.

the big black hole...


"Dying...
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels like real.
I guess you could say I’ve a call."

– From Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath

Im dedicating this blog entry... to one deeply lost soul... hoping that one day, she might gain light into her heart again... instead of losing it at all... to the "big black void".

I seriously doubt it... but one can always hope?

Leiria city!


So... here I came once more... but this time, to say goodbye to the dream: "turning my lovely *River Liz*, into a mermaids' swimming place..."... still... No can do! So it seems... and so... Im gonna swim somewhere new!!! :);)

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

boom!


Im just leaving this one sentence, I've heard today... its from this portuguese folk-song... its OUT there, to whomever it may "fit"...

"De que serve ter coração... e não ter o amor de ninguém?" (Simone)

Meaning... viver para quê? viver o quê? se desistirmos de amar?
And so... de hora em diante, aos que se apresentarem na vida, sem coração nem alma... por mim... off with their heads!

Walk away from bloody-love!


Like one good friend in germany would say...
"Sometimes u just have to walk away... walk away..."
Even if it means "others" will fall down.
There ppl that just cant imagine "pure love" and hapiness... to those... all we can do is "wish them the best", but... walk away... and believe me... you will fall hard sweetheart!

Um final... assim assim... é bem mais facil de entender.


(Lyrics by The Gift)

"Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei?
Talvez por saber o que não será melhor, aproximei?
Meu corpo é o teu corpo, o desejo entregue a nós...sei lá eu o que queres dizer.

Despedir-me de ti, "Adeus, um dia, voltarei a ser feliz."
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir.

Se por falar, falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender.
Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei.
Triste é o virar de costas, o último adeus sabe Deus o que quero dizer.

Obrigado por saberes cuidar de mim, tratar de mim, olhar para mim...
Escutar quem sou e se ao menos tudo fosse igual a ti...
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir.

Se por falar, falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender.
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir.

Se por falar, falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender. É o amor que chega ao fim. Um final assim, assim é mais fácil de entender... Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir.

Se por falar, falei, pensei que se falasse é mais fácil de entender.
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir.

Se por falar, falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender."


E afinal era td uma cambada de analfabetos de merda... e andei anos a pregar aos peixes, nesta puta de país q me pariu!? FUI:

hands


Here's a poem by someone else... Ana Tejino.

Vivo de momentos inacabados,
Relações infinitas…
Nada depois do Fim fica finalmente encerrado!
Há sempre dedos entrelaçados,
Uma palavra que não se cala!

E sem querer viver assim
Mantenho-me ligada a cordões infinitos
De vidas passadas!

E o tempo não remata os pontos
De cada sonho vivido
Em épocas de transição!

Mundos ocupados de vidas paralelas!

Não quero mais…
Quero ter o MEU Mundo ocupado por MIM
E por quem de direito!

Quero exclusividade e egoísmo,
Ser apenas um Ser de Um Ser,
De limites delimitados,
Linhas curvas bem delineadas
E ser só Eu e Tu!

"Adeus... não afastes os teus olhos dos meus..." (a song by David Fonseca)

"Quando dormes... e te esqueces... o que vês? Tu quem és?
Quando eu voltar... o que vais dizer?
Vou sentar... no meu lugar...

Adeus!... não afastes os teus olhos dos meus!...
Isolar para sempre... este tempo... é tudo o que tenho... para dar!

Quando acordas... por quem chamas tu?
Vou esperar... eu vou ficar... nos teus braços!
Eu vou conseguir... fixar... o teu ar... a tua surpresa!...?

Adeus... não afastes os teus olhos... dos meus...
Eu vou agarrar este tempo... e nunca mais largar!

Adeus! Não afastes os teus braços... dos meus!
Vou ficar para sempre neste tempo.. eu vou... vou conseguir pará-lo.
Vou conseguir... pará-lo... parar!

Vou conseguir... parar... vou conseguir...

Adeus... não afastes os teus olhos dos meus!
Vou ficar para sempre neste tempo...
Eu vou conseguir pará-lo...
Eu vou conseguir guardá-lo...
Eu vou conseguir... ficar."

"Nunca" (a poem by Rosa de Melo)



Uma ilha
e um quarto nela
O cão deitado
aos pés
A areia dormindo
cegando

Olhos rasos de cortinas
ao alto
P
a
r
e
d
e
s

Águas dançantes
as lambem
Beijam...
...não...
...beijam

Repetidamente... ondas.

Uma ilha
e tantas outras:

Cão...
Águas...
Cortinas...
Paredes...

Um quarto
Ninguém está
...Só.

The End.



Ive had an awful dream tonight... and I believe something died inside me, that cant be brought "back"... im sorry, but I must go and take care of my heart... so... this will be the end for me:

"A second time, to have him near again--
A paper image to lay against her heart
The way she laid his letters, till they grew warm
And seemed to give her warmth, like a live skin
But it is she who is paper now, warmed by no one"


In "Widow", by Sylvia Plath



PS. Sabem quem é que também morreu ontem de noite... em Lisboa? O Peixe-Lua do Oceanário... sigh.

"Some say love"... lyrics by Amanda Mcbroom


Some say love... it is a river... that drowns... the tender reed...
Some say love... it is a razer... that leaves... your soul to bleed...

Some say love... it is a hunger... an endless aching need...
I say love... it is a flower... and you... it's only seed...

It's the heart... afraid of breaking... that never... learns to dance...
It's the dream... afraid of waking... that never... takes the chance...
It's the one... who won't be taken... who can... not seem to give?
And the soul... afraid of dying... that never... learns to live!?

When the night... has been too lonely... and the road... has been too long...
And you think... that love is only... for the lucky... and the strong?

Just remember... in the winter... far beneath... the bitter snow... lies the seed... that with the sun's love ... in the spring... becomes... the *ROSE*!:)

*Blissful Hands* (a french poem)


This is something I wrote a few years back... at this lesbian site:
www.shoe.org (my nick was "peel")

"Je veux bien... tiens!
Mes mains sont à toi aussi...

Regardes le soleil là bas... lui te souvient rien?
Peut être ton souris?
Oh... et les mains... *sigh*
(le *soupire* toujours petit)
Mais je l'ais promis!
Mon amour... je reviens!

Je te donnerai du plaisir,
s'il te plairait à toi aussi?
S’il nous voudrait... ma petite chérie,
Tes mains dans les miennes...
Toujours les illusions reviennent :):)

Mais ne sourit pas encore...
Mon coeur... il est à tout à vis aussi mort...
Mais je reviendrais... je t’ais promis!

Tandis que ça nous arrive... je vous an prie:
Apprivoise moi toi aussi...
...dedans ton *souris-soupir*!:)"

peel


Note!
"hands" (mains) in portuguese is a 'féminin' word... im not sure if they are 'masculin' in french though? i'd rather see them as 'femme'!;)

*By fumbling I died, not falling I’ve loved* (one more poem...by "me")


"I fumble on your skin
I kiss you deep
all over-
tracing words in promises
over forms of inspiration
asking love how you feel

Not so calm-
I second guess both breathings
rising up your chest
heaving down my lips
I find thy
I find me
through dark voids-
each touch holds us back

You tense & rise
you clench in me
you feel you free
you fall for senseless
locked in both elations
falling from my edge
stretching arms in rest

Fear widens your eyes
filled with my perpetuity
as you implore reflection
to hold you close perfection-

hold you ‘til the day breaking
hold you ‘til the world ending
hold you ‘til your heart stays
hold you ‘til my words lie
tighter than your own
liar than two stones
skin weeping hearts
wrapped around these bones

‘Till you moan your enamoured reprieve
searching for the voice
laying for the dove
telling me you’ve loved
the bleeding of my move

Later-
Searching for retreats
to ever deny the moment
of rushing all those streams
if only you’d forget
pleasures you can’t regret
years after-
claming your innocence
long before my absence
you may ever dream-

Over themes that never happened."


Note!
This poem was written "fifty-fifty" with another shoe girl... www.shoe.org

*Global Globe*


Ajuda-me minha flor! A tua cor é mais forte que a minha luz.

Desperdicei toda a minha voz a encantar-te, enquanto fugia dos outros. A torrada que comeste, a música que ouviste, aquele chá que bebemos as duas... haviam duas cadeiras brancas que cercaram tudo isso.
As cadeiras forma lacradas na tinta azul. Fui dizer-lhes que te esperava de novo. Onde está a minha outra metade?

O globo de vidro que comprei, para te simbolizar na minha mente, ainda aqui está ao meu lado. Já há mais coisas que me lembram de ti, do que aquelas que me afastam. Já foram mais os meses maus, que os meses que passámos em conversas com deus.
Porque aceitaste a minha flor, se não era para ser verdade o amor? Não posso crer no que dizes, apenas aquilo que sinto. Sempre me segui por isto.

Vamos duas a duas, a bicicleta pode levar mais do que uma. Disseram-me para seguir o caminho da Índia, para pedir ajuda à serpente e voltar à vida perdida... Vou dar o resto por isto.
Tenho dores de estômago, já devolvi mais um gato, não consegui ressuscitar a cerejeira, será que a raiz também já vai insegura?

O epílogo deste amor, vai ser vivido numa noite escura. Noite sem lua. A minha aura vai estar quase sem mais nada, num outro lance de escada... por um envelope que ficou esquecido, vou voltar atrás de bicicleta. O teu carro sem luz, vai cruzar e chocar comigo. Um encontro forçado, uma conversa puxada, um jantar oferecido, depois um carinho sentido.

Na noite sem lua das bruxas, vai haver um buraco negro que nos suga às duas... numa noite de amor.

Lx., 14 Agosto 2010

Lyrics by Sarah Mclachlan (Terms)


I knew you wanted to tell me...
In your voice there was something wrong?
But if you would turn... your face away from me,
You cannot tell me you’re so strong?

Just let me ask of you... one small thing?
As we've shared so many tears...
With fervor our dreams... we planned a whole life long!
Now are scattered on the wind...

Chorus
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why

Through the years I’ve grown to love you...
Though your commitment... to most would offend,
But I stuck by you! holding on with my foolish pride...?!
Waiting for you... to give in...

You never really tried... or so it seems?
I’ve had more than myself to blame... (!?)
I’ve had enough of trying everything!
And this time... it is the end...

Chorus

There’s no more coming back... this way!
The path is overgrown... and strewn with thorns!
They’ve torn the life-blood... from your naked eyes!?
Cast aside... to be forlorn...

Chorus

Funny, how it seems that... all I’ve tried to do... seems to make no difference... to you... at all... and yet... I've tried... oh... I try...

"Horses" by Tori Amos


"Beauty Queen - Horses"

Hey Hey
She's a Beauty Queen
My sweet bean bag in the street
Take it
Down out to the laundry scene
Don't know why she's in my hand
Can't figure what it is
But I lie again

I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
They say that your demons
Can't go there
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As longs as your army
Keeps perfectly still
And maybe I'll find me a sailor
A tailor
And maybe together
We'll Make mother well
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As long as you army
Keeps perfectly still
You showed me the meadow
And Milkwood
And Silkwood
and you would if I would
But you never would
So I chased down your posies
Your pansies in my hosies
Then opened me hands
And they were empty then

Off with Superfly
Sniffing a Sharpie pen
Honey it's Bill and Ben
Off with Superfly
Counting your bees
Oh me honey like
One two three
The camera is rolling
It's easy like
One
Two
Three

And if there is a way to find you
I will find you
But will you find me if Neil
Makes me a tree
an afro
a pharaoh
I can't go
You said so
And threads that are golden
Don't break easily
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on

You say that your demons
Can't go there
So I got me some horses
To ride on
To ride on
As long as your army
Keeps perfectly still
Keeps perfectly still
Keeps perfectly still

"meu amor sem flor"




(this is not so much a 'poem', but just something i wrote the other day... when i tried in vain, to see this 'ancient love', in this 'ancient town'... I left her a flower (flor) in her doorstep...)





'O meu amor nem a vi...
O meu amor anda triste, cansada, sozinha...
Deixei-lhe uma flor, repassei e já lá não estava
Foi o vento?
Foste tu quem a colheu?

O meu amor não tem flor...
O meu amor anda triste, não lhe vejo a alma há tanto tempo...
Não lhe sinto o cheiro
Não lhe oiço a voz... o bater do ventre...
O meu amor anda doente...
Deixou de me ter por perto, o coração está só... mesmo sem me querer, o meu amor era presente.
O meu amor anda doente
A minha princesa não sorri
O meu amor, hoje nem o vi...

O meu amor sem flor...
Levou-te o vento?
Deixou-te o meu amor?
Oh meu amor não te vejo...
Eu tento
Eu intento
Eu procuro-te!
Eu e o vento...
Oh meu amor a tua flor!
Oh meu amor... foste tu? Foi o vento?
Oh minha flor... que te deixei...
Perdoa-me... Eu agora voltei.

Oh meu amor que não te encontro... abandonei-o... ao vento?
Deixei-te uma flor... foste com ele?
O meu amor abandonou a dor? O amor?
Fui eu? Fomos as duas?
Oh meu amor em flor... a tua ausência cresce em mim.
O vento sopra-me sem efeito
As flores olham-me sem brilho
Nada me parece sincero
A tua ausência tira-me do real... do sério... de mim...

Oh meu amor sem flor...

Hoje procurei-te
Ontem intentei-te
Hoje me despeço
A flor não está... levaste-a tu?
Ficaram duas pétalas caídas... ficamos nós duas?
Oh meu amor sem flor... não te deixei... não te deixei...
O abandono foi de dor
O coração morria de amor

Oh meu amor sem flor
Hoje procurei-te
hoje não te vi
Hoje deixei-te...
Hoje tenho que me ir novamente...

Oh meu amor sem dor
Oh minha flor
Deus queira que tenha sido pela tua mão, que a minha flor voo...
Deus queira que tenha sido pelo teu coração, que o meu amor ficou.'

"Barbies Botox"


This is something I wrote for the day of poetry... in "here" (21st March)... a few years back.
Barbies botox…

Numa sombra de censura, levanta a perna o juiz e diz: “Que quem discorde de mim, leve o gado descalço, amanhã pela madrugada, a pular a cerca do Sr. Vigário!”.
Ninguém mais na assembleia, ousa levantar uma mão que seja… ninguém gosta do frio que faz de madrugada… e assim jaz São Valentina, na beira do rio, tudo porque não houve mão que ousasse quebra-lhe o frio…


LA TRANSGRESIÓN
(Cristina Peri Rossi)

En la ciudad, hay una consigna:
«No amarás al extranjero.»
Babel, sardónica,
se ríe del viejo emblema
mezcla lenguas diversas
declina los verbos muertos
y apostrofa en occitano.

Descubre palabras raras
y las lanza entre los dientes
como piedras de un río arcaico
-primigenio-
He de hacerme un collar
con esos abalorios,
señas de identidad de extranjero.


LA OFERENDA:
(Cristina P. Rossi)

Ama las casas,
como las diosas profanas,
amaban los templos en su interior,
a la luz de las ardientes velas,
con el perfume dulce de las ebrias belladonas.

Celebra los cultos sediciosos del amor,
en lenguas diversas:
Griego, latín y un dialecto olvidado,
se mezclan en su boca,
como pétalos de un ramo gotean las sílabas de varias fuentes...
... y la palabra obscena cae, como licor colmado...
................... como la última oferenda.”


No dia seguinte, quando todos pensam que a parideira foi levar a cabo o poema, eis senão que… o padre morrera!

Volta de novo a assembleia, à discussão do ventre… juntam-se os juízos de valor a norte, a razão de ser a sul… e as beatas em cada porta de saída… nada passará impune por nenhum acaso. Todos aqueles que ali forem dizer de sua justiça, ali perecem na mesa do optimista. A cidade alheia morreu moralmente. Não há jurado que aguente!

Quem preside foi publicitado em Marte, uma vez que os residentes não votam. O voto presente, seria visto como contestatário ao padre vigente… mas e agora? Agora que ele morreu, na moral do eleito pedófilo talhante, quem mais irá ocupar o cargo de todo poderoso, na aldeia do pedinchante?

As vacas foram agravadas no sagrado do leite, as ovelhas tresmalharam no abismo do deleite… as galinhas fazem de galo, numa época em que o galo é servido ao jantar com legumes e azeite… tudo no tradicional se desfaz, neste natal que se passou ao sol… sem réstia de moral.

"Morri às portas do primeiro Cristo
Neste sossego que desconheço
As índias valeram bem o meu apreço
Debaixo de fogos que recomeço

O incesto foi posto pelo rei seguinte
A mim que o refugio em ser pedinte
Solteira imposta por profissão ardente
Domino à mesa a refeição demente

Descaminho dentada em acepipes
Afogo sorrisos quentes em galos tristes
Canto envenenada sem apetite
Toda a poesia que em mim resiste

A vida encarece-me em tons de azia
O espírito que por fim já arrepia
Vomito sem guia no coração presente
A frieza sadia da minha gente

Na redoma que viu partir vazia
No idioma que suspira: “Viver doía!”
Usufrui dizer: “Beberei um dia…
…o amor dormir em alma mia…”
E o eco insistia… “Eu ia, eu ia…”

(Rosa de morte, à beira do abismo! 14/15 Julho o6)


Chove, porque na ausência de um poder mais puro, ainda rege uma lua, que lava tudo aquilo que lhe transpira inseguro… há no coração de uma deusa Vénica, ainda a infeliz premissa, de que o príncipe (tal qual cavalaria do oeste) chega tarde, mas aparece!

E assim, na ideia louca de um final feliz para sempre, existe a única força segura subsistente: a crédula no amor terreno. Aquela que assegura em pés juntos, a Este & O(u)este, que será neste ultimo elemento de amor, que toda uma espécie não se engolirá no abismo das penas por si mesma.

Existe um pressuposto, para além de todos estes: “a morte está assegurada, d’um inferno não há certezas absolutas… algumas dantescas obsoletas… e nada mais.” Posto isto, e como a comodidade vale mais, do que a honra de dormir sem sobressaltos (até porque para a consciência, também se vendem comprimidos na farmácia mais presente, que ajudam a compor de noite… a mente)… e coração de nada vale, se atraiçoar sistematicamente o cheque à entrada do depositário.

Quem quererá assinar uma hipótese de amor, nos dias correntes? Os divórcios de amor são tão mais simples… tentar a felicidade, uma estrutura, manter família a dois… é muito menos cómodo. Em três tempos tudo se dissolve… o coração apaga a dor no amor, e já se procura mais caça no horizonte… algo que não engorde muito de preferência, porque a silhueta também é importante, para ganhar os milhões do preço certo.

A tele-visão veio para ficar, a imaginação perdeu semblante… à barbies em toda a parte, não vale a pena sonhá-las… qualquer loja de crianças as vende em sacos botox, à meia dúzia, pelo preço de duas…

“The heart dies a slow death… shading each hope like leaves…
Until one day there are none… no hopes, nothing remains…
(…she paints her face, to hide her face…)
Her eyes are deep water...
It is not for geisha to want…
It is not for geisha to feel…
Geisha is an artist of the floating world…
She dances… she sings… she entertains you… whatever you want…
The rest is shadows…
The rest is… secret.”

“Memoirs of a geisha” (excerto do filme) Lx, 4 Janeiro 2007

A mim tudo isto me deixa desarmada de par em impar… nunca fui de ver o sonho… preferia imaginá-lo. A barbie nunca era como eu queria... tudo em si de pequena fantasia, era sempre alterado, na esperança de alcançar o imaginado. Em vão… a minha imaginação transcende a norma consumista lojista… a loira de mamas grandes e pernas altas, agrada a maioria que não lia os contos de fadas ao deitar… aquela maioria que vê os felizes para sempre, em filmes dvd…

Ao contrário do que me suspira, não rende fazer minoria às prateleiras do desespero. Porque a final, tudo o que se vende naquela loja de sonho forjado, são pequenas ilusões de um criador qualquer, que lhe parecia agradar as massas assim mesmo… loira, de olho azul e rabo do desassossego… Já eu… ultimamente… ando a arroz! Vá-se lá saber porquê…


“AMAR AMAR AMEI”
(Lx, 6 Maio2006)

Ligar amar amor
amar amar ardor!
parar amar parou
parar amar parei.
Ligar voltar volvi!?

Corri morri sofri!
amei amor voltei
amei amor amei
amar amar amor...

Liguei amei sarei
Liguei amei perdi
Ligar amei morri!

Correr partir sentir...
amar fugir fugir... fugir.... fugir...
amar morrer partir
amei comi mordi

Corri parti fiquei
amar amar amei!
amar morri amor
amar doeu ardor

Amar amar sofri!
Ardi fechei morri
Amei amor morri...
Amei amor fugiu
fugi dormi comeu
fugi vivi dormi...
voltei amei amei!

Deixei morri amei!
ardi ardor segui
amei liguei parti
amei ardi fugi, fugi, fugi, fugi....
morri vivi chorei!
chorei amor amei... te.

Senti morri cansei...
deixei ardor amei
doeu morreu a dor
doeu morreu o amor.

will you ever forgive me... leaving loving you?

"Touch" by Clara Andermatt


This is a contemporary dance show by Clara Andermatt & her dance company: CPBC (Companhia Portuguesa de Bailado Contemporâneo)... also the lines behind the show... are just awsome!:)

"Um toque que sopra lá do fim do mundo.
Nunca sabemos quando nos toca... e muitas vezes porque nos toca e como nos toca...
O som tem um tempo eterno e o espaço todo é infinito...
Como vem de lá não sei... mas é perfeito!"

(Clara Andermatt)

Felis Cumpleaños!


See... I still guard all ur presents as well!:)

"a portuguese blog entry..." :);)


A dear friend told me she would like to see me wrtting in here, also, in portuguese... once and a while... so here goes... "for you"... "Velha Chica"!:)

So here goes... a portuguese poem, by Rosa Melo:

"Inícios"

Tapeçarias
Nos trilhos enluarados.
Sombra e Luz
Quebradas aqui e ali
Por espessas linhas de som.
Outras, agudas.

Se, por insistir,
Já o mar se adivinha,
Cómoda transfiguração
De metais e verdes
Que sempre me ocorrem
Quando adormecida.
Porém, acordo
E é já luminosa voz
Plena de alegres timbres.

Vêm em bandos
Ponteando o espaço
Dissolvendo verticalidades
Nos olhos curiosos
Que trazem nas mãos abertas.
Estendendo-lhes a minha.


Li este poema no dia q morreu o meu querido avô... fez imenso sentido. Agora é para ti... "Velha Chica"... tb eu, qdo morrer... quero ver Anngola em paz!:)

"Comme moi" pour Edith Piaf


La belle voix! If u can, try and listen to it... I'm listening in a "live-cd":) She just takes out all our skin and drifts away with it... with her... within... and sideways! sigh

"comme moi" lyrics:


Peut-être bien qu'ailleurs,
Une femme a le coeur
Eperdu de bonheur
Comme moi...
Et que d'un geste heureux
Elle soulève un peu
Le rideau de soie bleue,
Comme moi...

Pour regarder en bas
Son amour qui viendra
La prendre dans ses bras,
Comme moi...
Elle attend son amour,
Les yeux de son amour,
Les bras de son amour,
Comme moi...

Peut-être bien aussi,
Qu'à l'instant, elle vit,
Le meilleur de sa vie,
Comme moi...
Et qu'en fermant les yeux,
Elle abandonne un peu
Sa main dans ses cheveux,
Comme moi...

Peut-être qu'à son coeur,
Elle épingle une fleur
Et puis regarde l'heure,
Comme moi...
Et pense à son amour,
Aux yeux de son amour,
Aux bras de son amour,
Comme moi...

Peut-être bien encore
Qu'elle entendra plus fort
Son coeur battre et qu'alors,
Comme moi...
Elle voudra crier
En entendant monter
Un pas dans l'escalier,
Comme moi...

Comme moi dans l'instant
Où mon coeur en suspens
Se retient un moment,
Contre toi...
Et puis meure, mon amour,
Dans tes yeux, mon amour,
Dans tes bras mon amour,
Mon amour...


..it's for u... ma belle fleure:)

"Waiting on a Waitress..." (It's a poem I wrote a long time ago... and now I seem to be "recycling" this feeling toward someone new!:))


Someone's sick reality just stroke me through!
Those eyes, the moon...
knocked down this forehead noon
in between... did anyone moaned?

Tasteless wines are about to be re-invented
I’m sure they will... I’m able to see that too!
You see... my sore eyes usually get translucid...
...with the sights of you

So long ever after... but not long ago,
I still find thoughts... within the blue
I will hopefully distill,
aging memories out of you...

Into stolen spirits I dive,
while carefully stays this intent... in laying between the oak
Always against my will I tell them!

My heart is 'woodenning' here,
within floating wishes... for my careless waitress...
Once again, she drives me insane.
All the same, I came...

I long to forget,
all this empty green bottles she kept
Night after day... quite careless I might say?

but then... there's this 'body of mind' firmly staying...
as still as can be... standing there:
waiting on her
wetting just lips
waiting on leaves
waving on hands
leaving painful sweets in store... as she leaves me dry and sore...

you see...
each night I must pay, to go and see her move
night after day, thousands of barrels are presented my way:
Waiting on tables,
drinking white sables,
my taste perceives no happy ending?
I unable the pain, by calling on her once more...

I keep calling this wait!
I see her slide... she is on her sway...
'More barrels of wine', I usually say

The night is young,
alcohol starts its journey...
I see you through, though there are no signs of you?
The truth is mine alone...

Barrels of fouls parade along my shore,
pronning their heads to my waitress to be
Wondering there, just like me: 'Were all those bottles ever meant... to keep?'

Closing time starts its arrival... unwillingly,
I need to ask my waitress the usual:
And so I wave
And so u smile
I pay.
We leave alone... where to? Home?

Uncertainty takes its place,
I question my 'body of mind': were all those barrels worthwhile?
Will she dream of me tonight?
