Passo os dias 

tentando não me odiar.

Some fancy invitation

I was told
the proper attire
to the gods' feast
was to be dressed
in heaven,
so I stripped
and let out
the inner beast.

Saudade rima com lealdade 

no português 

por algum motivo!

Story of a carpenter

In boyhood, a promise
In adulthood, a faith
In a kiss, a betrayal
In death, a myth
In myth, a religion.

Cheap kiss

Thirty silver pennies
were my excuse
to touch my master's face
for my sins would never
let me lay upon his chest
like someone did...
I wonder if he forgives me,
for I know I cannot.

Genesis

Was I made flesh
only to know sin
within truth
and punishment
within soul?

Was I made
at a king’s image
only to have
to bend
and never sit
on the throne?

With perfection
comes defiance –
he should know
by now.

Free will

God gave the order
but it was me
you dared betray.

God cast you away
but for me
you wouldn't choose to stay.

God put a sword in my hand
but it was my soul
you stepped upon,
ages on end.

God granted you light
but what faded
was my trust in you
in hellish fight.

Rapture

Her soul is hers alone -
neither God's nor the Devil's.

It has been eaten by the hunger
of its own flames in screams of pleasure.

There's nothing left for hell -
your fireplace can only undo flesh.

Não devemos achar que podemos consertar tudo, 

muito menos tendo a ver com os outros. 

Tem coisas que só o devido espaço 

e tempo conseguem remediar, 

nem que seja um pouco. 

Não podemos nos intrometer.

Final act

Under grey skies
I bare my figure
from golden gowns
for one's fragility
does not diminish
timeless beauty.

Remember who
I once was while
you try to love me
for who I still am.

A casa anda pequena demais 

para tanta mágoa.

Sigo em pé

Minhas pernas hoje
só não pesam mais
que o fardo
do que é usado
contra mim.

Essence

In a dried flower
remains some of
our affection's
lovely perfume.

Remains

The thorns
which prick me
and the stones
wich I am thrown at
- bruising and scarring -
cannot bid me forget
the scent and the beauty.

Which might mean
that even if my blood spills
and agony seems to kill
I am still here,
I am still alive;
my skin is marked
but it proves I can survive.

Usando o termo paixão de forma mais ampla (com relação a qualquer coisa)... Talvez justamente pela intensidade e ser quase que como um instinto, um sofrimento que nós abarcamos como um sofrimento gostoso, ela faz a gente ser capaz de qualquer coisa - e por isso quase tudo o que é feito com paixão tende a ser mais bonito...

Obra de arte

Fomos fotografia
em preto e branco -
instante bonito
parado no tempo.

Tu foste embora
mas em mim
ainda permanecerás
na eternidade de
pintura em cores.

Thine is the kingdom

I almost get to believe
in God again, truly,
every time I feel
you whisper the Lord's Prayer
against my neck.

24/11/2016

I am a character

I borrow your face,
your voice, your body
to pretend I exist
and show you that, after all,
you are capable of anything.

To the mere boys I once loved

What is the use
of falling for you
if not even your friendship
will pick me from the ground?

Alas, I regret nothing
and I know what I deserve.

Marble

Prove to me
you are more than stone
in this so beautiful coldness,
perfectly unreal.

Show me
there is life
in your glance of despair and pain
which some say is feigned
or imagined.

Stretch me
this hand of yours
for me to touch your pulse
within the veins
and believe that a boy
can do the impossible.

- English version of "Mármore"
