Instantes

2006-09-25T23:00:00.000-04:00

Por vezes sinto-me um pouco perdida, insegura
Por vezes sinto-me como o fumo do cigarro apertado, sem oxigenio entre os dedos daquele puto k passou por mim esta manha

Sometimes I still get scared... like now.

Coisas Encantadoras

2006-08-10T20:56:00.000-04:00

I'm tempted to think that at times u fool me and I fail to realize it
I never did knock on ur door w/ a bag of popcorn in hand
and never did we sit down to see where it'd go
See, u were a flirt right from the start, but swore the opposite
I miss the Monday coffee
I miss the shirt and tie u were wearing when u walked in w/ it that cup in hand
I miss looking at u for the 1st time and not knowing what to really say
so all I did was smile
I couldn't phathom what thoughts were lingering in those eyes
I wonder if that was part of the conquest for me to bcm another one in ur book,
just another chapter, maybe even just a paragraph, a small waste of a breath
No matter how I may dress up my words, I still feel like a little girl inside as they gasp for breath when I write them
(maybe that's me)
I miss noticing u thought of me during the day
I miss feeling that I am ur everything
I miss breathing in ur words
I miss having u concentrate on my face and just look at me and I miss reading all the words they spoke
I can't bring myself to elaborate any more on how much I miss u making me feel that I am ur everything....
And all the while here, w/ u I wonder why u've stopped being what u said u were....

To love, one must surrender oneself to the mercy of the other...

Erasure

2005-12-08T17:52:00.000-05:00

The rain clears any residue left behind by u
It washes away clean the memories and thoughts; the tears and the laughter
It erases us. We never existed.
You've vanished much like a footprint does w/ the crashing waves
Existias e eras tudo. I blink and we have bcm a blank moment in my life.
Vazio.
I want to scrub away any fingerprints of u still in my life.
Inexistente, tu.

When I cross, the bridges fall

2005-11-07T21:20:00.000-05:00

Sometimes I wish I had words that would make your eyes cry, and hide from mine,
maybe u'd then regret doing that to mine
I just don't know how to paint my words anymore, they've bcm blank and the pages wither w/o life, and I hide
I can't break open the thoughts inside my head
I can't take the tears from this heart of mine and I often cry --- I...
My life falls w/ the leaves as I walk these streets and I don't know what to do, b/c all I had, I surrendered and that u took, too
Ha momentos k te sentes perdida, e este e um desses momentos onde respiro, mas ainda nao vivo
All I have is the residue of loving what I do, the residue of letting my words breathe for me; I have bits and pieces of passionate thoughts and indescribable moments where I would let myself go, and allow my pen take the wheel, ate ela me dizer k ja se sentia cansada de tanto se confessar
and even then, I would force her just a bit more, e agora ela chora dentro do porta-lapis, dentro da minha mala, ate no chao ela se encontra por vezes
I just can't break these thoughts--they make no sense sometimes
I suppress them, much like u would something u're ashamed of; I ignore them, much like u would someone u don't love
I hear the whispers of the cries from inside and I turn the tides so I don't have to be like them, and cry--
Como e k me podem comprovar k nao me mentem, se ate o meu coracao o faz?
Escondo-me atras do meu olhar, entre as paredes k continuo a construir entre tu e eu, e tu, sendo tudo em k jamais confio
Detesto k se facam em minha vida, simplesmente actores, onde a unica coisa k sabem, e o dialogo anteriormente memorizado
Cada dia k passa detesto mais este mundo, I displace myself from ur grasp, mas quanto mais fujo, mais perto de ti me encontro
K merda
I wish I had the words to leave u speechless, the words that would paint the most beautiful of thoughts, the words... palavras pra k vejas realmente o k sinto
It's bullshit not being what I wish I was, or who at one point, I was
Farta, farta desta porcaria onde nao se encontra ninguem k vale apena, ninguem k...
esquece...

Because of You

2005-10-30T14:08:00.000-05:00

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you I am afraid

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you I am afraid

Queria k entendessem k eu nao 'tou a fim de vos aturar, c/ as vossas merdinhas, e porcarias k nem ao sairem da boca valem nada.
Queria k entendesses k nao 'tou a fim de ouvir as tuas reclamacoes, blah blah blah blah blah...ai por favor!
Certa coisa funcionam assim: Cresce e aparece, e se nao gostares entao, paciencia.
Queria k entendessem k as vossas vozes tornaram-se, barulho, um zum-zum nos meus ouvidos...k perca de tempo, por favor fiquem calados.
Fica sabendo k apesar de seres maior e vacinada, precisas de uma boa dose e crescimento

Iludes-me...

2005-10-15T03:34:00.000-04:00

Eu acho k a maior parte da nossa vida e uma simples ilusao. A percentagem restante, sobra-nos pras infedilidades das pessoas k passam por nos. Aquelas k marcam o movimento dos nossos passos. Aquelas k nos guiam na nossa jornada. Aquelas k imprimem os seus seres em nos. Aquelas k de quais jamais esqueceremos, ate mesmo se tentarmos.
Acho k a maior parte da nossa vida nao passa a ser mais k uma ilusao, sonhos k tentamos por em pratica e tentar realizar. How blind do we bcm...por vezes fico surpreendida...how is it that we fall in love?

Queria ter a oportunidade de diariamente passar os meus dedos entre os teus cabelos, tal como fiz hoje.
Gostaria k reconhecesses o k significa fidelidade...Queria k o fosses
Gostaria de beijar-te ao despedir-me de ti, sem pudor, sem preocupacao nenhuma pois saberia k os teus labios pertenceriam-me a mim
Queria k nao fosse somente um jogo, um passatempo fora da tua realidade, mas e...
Queria nao cair nas minhas proprias brincadeiras, mas gostaria k o te acontecesse a ti...

Eu? Nunca...Juro-te

2005-10-06T21:45:00.000-04:00

You know what? I am the fool, but only I don't have wise words and riddles.
I can't dress these words in white and garnish them w/ beauty b/c there isn't anything appealing abt them.
It's disheartening to see society, and that society, of course, the people not having anything left in them but greed, disloyalty, dishonesty...
I am such a fool, so gullible to everyones' garnished truths

I am so deeply disappointed---w/ myself

Sex without Love

2005-10-03T21:03:00.000-04:00

I'm glad I went back to my literature books for research. I had truly forgotten how great this poem is...to me, each word inhales and exhales...

"How do they do it, the ones who make love
without love? Beautiful as dancers,
gliding over each other like ice-skaters
over the ice, fingers hooked
inside each other's bodies, faces
red as steak, wine, wet as the
children at birth whose mothers are going to
give them away. How do they come to the
come to the come to the God come to the
still waters, and not love
the one who came there with them, light
rising slowly as steam off their joined
skin? These are the true religious,
the purists, the pros, the ones who will not
aceept a false Messiah, love the
priest instead of the God. They do not
mistake the lover for their own pleasure,
they are like great runners: they know they are alone
with the road surface, the cold, the wind,
the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardio-
vascular health--just factors, like the partner
in the bed, and not the truth, which is the
single body alone in the universe
against its own best time."

Sharon Olds

Good Enough

2005-10-02T14:02:00.000-04:00

She sat across from me and confessed how she had fallen for him. Her eyes, fallen to the apple martini in front of her, her fingers playing around the glass..."It sucks, u know?" And all I could do was nod in agreement, b/c indeed, it does suck.
She sat there, and occasionally looked up and forced a smile my way, trying to convince me she was ok, and this wasn't affecting her, b/c all along she knew nothing would happen. She shook her head and looked twds the window, but nothing outside offered an answer or a quick escape from her thoughts.
"I miss him. I like him." She twirled the almost empty glass and gave me another smile. I didn't know what to tell her, but I do know he's no good for her, so I told her. I don't think it's something one wants to hear, but it's the truth.
I wonder why our hearts play these tricks on us, when all we want is to have less worries, but end up w/ baskets full of preocupations, pointless cares. I wish he'd be good for her, b/c then I'd be able to tell her that it all worked out--but I don't think that'll ever happen, unfortunately.
I wish he'd be good for her, I really do.

Trinket

2005-09-29T21:52:00.000-04:00

I know it's best to say "good-bye", apesar de nunca nos darmos a uma oportunidade de dizer "ola".
E nada passou, mas sinto k entre olhares, falamos mais do k c/ as palavras k nunca foram ditas.
Ja nao ha maneira de voltar a tras e nem possibilidades de continuarmos c/ o inexistente.

She left. She left her husband and her children, and didn't care to think what society would say. Would they scorn her? Of course! One knows how people relish in others' (established) wrongs.
She's no longer the doll, who once he played w/, who he once had on a string and w/ every move, she, too, would do the same. She's no longer a reflection of his wishes, no longer a white picket fence ideal.
She's a woman.
She took off her costume and stepped into true character. She broke away from this tradition where all u're doing is playing a role, b/c that's what u're expected to do, and not what in truth u want to do.
I smiled for her. I applauded her strength to recognize that above anything else and any duty to someone else, she owed it to herself--at least in that moment.
Poor foolish thing...all he could do was stand there w/ a lost look upon his face. Never did it occur to him that she had it in herself to come to this pt. He thought her just a "stupid, stupid woman."
Not so stupid afterall. Ela sabia leva-lo. She was smarter than he ever thought, smarter than him, obviously.
Though, there are those u love the most, there are also people u prefer to be w/.
Fool, she crashed ur so highly held image. She crushed u more that u crushed her; and that b/c it had always been abt u and never abt her.
She crushed u.
How does it feel to be lost?

Explicacao

2005-09-25T12:14:00.000-04:00

She picked up and left, didn't think to come back and say good-bye
All of a sudden they were strangers, leaving behind decades of lives shared, and love once promised. Now, they part their ways, part their hearts and bring back the emptiness they felt bf finding each other.
Just pick up and drive. Pick up and forget all u're leaving behind.
Just pick up and drive. Pick up and forget u're being left behind.

My Lust

2005-09-14T17:29:00.000-04:00

Juro k isto é somente um fraco k o meu coraçao tem por ti
A doçura de olhares interessados e hungry words, nao passa disso
SMS ao meio da noite e conversas até o sol nos acordar,
juro k nao é nada mais k um fraco por ti
It's the sweet look in ur eyes, e esse mesmo pode ser traiçoeiro
mesmo k me digas o contrário
nao sou somente mais uma peça k traz á vida um palco de teatro, e nao
sou somente pra ser alguém k cobiças, mas sim alguém k irá ser amada
Juro-te k o k sentes é somente um fraco k vai desaparecer tal como veio, e nem te darás por conta
Juro k a doçura em ti, por mim nao vai além d'um desafio do teu ser..
entendes?

Look into her Eyes

2005-09-12T23:47:00.000-04:00

I don't understand what I'm doing, quanto mais agora responsabilizar-me pelas tuas acoes.
Soon enough u'll realize k o k tens nao e pra ser jogado porta fora so por outra rapariga te aparecer a frente.
If u don't love her, let her go, but don't hurt her. I know what it's like to be in her shoes and I wouldn't want to be the reason u break her heart, much like he's broken mine.
Pensa bem... ...
What is most important to u?

Collision

2005-08-28T22:49:00.000-04:00

Queria k as coisas fossem como quando nos conhecemos
hoje, talvez me conseguisses dizer k me amavas
Terias-me presa nesse teu mundo e os meus olhos veriam somente
o teu horizonte
Queria k me confessases esses teus segredos k tanto guardas em ti, em vez de eu constantemente te os perguntar
Desejo a simplicidade de ser crianca, onde as unicas preocupacoes era o T.P.C, nao sujar as roupas pra nao ouvir a minha mae a ralhar comigo, e nao abrir a porta a desconhecidos
Onde os meus dias eram principalmente passados na escola primaria de duas divisoes, e as minha tardes, c/ o meu primo as passaria a fazer cabanas nos pinhais, nadar no moinho abandonado e apanhar grilos nos campos
Queria tanto ter essa simplicidade cntg mas essa oportunidade fechou os olhos e tu ja nao me amas mais
Sera k ja nao pensas em mim?
Sera k ja sou parte do teu passado?
Sera k ja...mas..porque?
Quando te mais apartas...sera k ouves o meu grito
Quero te dizer k sempre estarei a espera de ti mas, volta rapido; e se nao voltares por favor diz-me-o pra k eu possa romper e viver no horizonte de outro alguem k queira viver a olhar o meu

Save me From this Sanity

2005-08-13T23:12:00.000-04:00

i can't believe these words are coming from my lips:
i don't want to love u anymore
i don't want to be here just for the hell of it, i'm not for spare time, regardless of the reasons u give me
the same way i made u a priority that's how i should've been treated
i do need to confess bf i leave that i'm so scared b/c my life i've pictured it w/ u in it and now that picture fell apart
it's like u suddenly bcmng blind, o k vias ja nao existe mais, quer dizer, sempre ira existir mas jamais seras parte desse mundo
so where r u gonna go from here?
i've been losing so much time, but i can't keep my eyes off of u
my God, what is this that doesn't go away even when i try to walk way from it
i don't want to be unwanted anymore
why can't everything i do be beautiful, even if just in ur eyes
why can't u live to make me happy and i'd do the same for u
do u think that if u show me u actually care i'll walk all over u?
nao o podes pensar, impossivel
my God don't u know i crave u making me feel worth it and special to u
Tu, amor nao me mereces but i'll always love u b/c everything has revolved around u

2005-01-10T11:47:00.000-05:00

Já nao te vejo há tanto tempo
Deixei-te abandonado no meio de letras, palavras agora mudas
E já faz tanto tempo q nao ouço o sussurro dos teus segredos
Já faz tempo q parei de sentir o carinho da tua voz
Deixei-te vazio, sòzinho
Fica sabendo q penso em ti
Várias sao as vezes q te sinto em mim
Várias sao as vezes q a vontade de te ver volta mais uma vez
Já nao te olho faz tanto tempo
Encho-me de saudades e vontades
Deixei-te c/ os restos dos sons das palavras q trocavamos
Deixei-te
E a unica coisa q me alimenta sao os ecos da tua voz,
O ressoar do teu olhar

Please Let Me Live

2004-11-04T08:52:00.000-05:00

They took away our hope
They took away our joy
They took away our certainty
They've been killing our dreams--
I won't let mine die, too.
They've stolen our happiness
that is if everyone even got a chance to experience it--
They've taken it bf. its time.
They've ripped away part of us--
They've drowned the thought of our freedom
They can't take part of me
They just can't
Don't take away my hope
Don't take away my joy
Don't take away my certainty
Please, please
Please
Don't kill my dream.

No Meio de Tudo Existes Tu

2004-10-22T10:00:00.000-04:00

I'm dismantling the sound of ur voice,
storing what's left of the broken pieces
b/c certain winters come harsher than others
and the clouds today warn me of such
Wish I could keep the look of ur eyes
locked up no meu baù, pra os olhar qndo sentisse tua falta
Falta do tanto q eles falavam, mesmo ao nao dizerem nada
I'm dismantling the thought of u
and of the laughter now gone
Dos sorrisos q já nao aparecem mais
Nem tudo é tao justo como desejamos
Nem tudo acontece como queremos
Mas nem sempre podemos agradar a todos
B/c no matter what, there's always someone unpleased by the situation
há sempre algo pra se pôr na borda do prato
há sempre uma critica
existem as suas palavras cheias de nada
Nem sempre te posso agradar

Feeling Better Now?

2004-10-06T17:27:00.000-04:00

I don't know what u'r thinking
Do u think u'r able to crash my world?
Achas q esses teus sorrisos e choros falsos
me conseguem derrubar?
Are ur ways any comfort to u?
I hope they give ur ego a pick me up
But just so u know
i'm not the one crashing down

Disenchant Me

2004-09-29T13:54:00.000-04:00

My world keeps turning, and I can't stand up straight any longer
U
U, who kills me
U, keep me alive
Why can't I break away from this
Every day I wake up, I think that maybe it'll be better, easier, but it only bcms more difficult to let go
I wake up calling u
Ur name breathes thru my lips
Why can't u hear me calling u
w/ all the myths and legends u believe in
knights and princesses we were all taught abt
why is it that u don't want to keep me, the same way u've held on to those ideas
tu, amor, és a minha fábula, a minha estòria fantasia
tornáste-te o meu principe encantado
pra mim, fazes parte de livros tais como, Cinderela, e a Bela Adormecida
Tu, acordas-me sempre
Tu
Sempre conseguirás olhar diretamente em meus olhos
Serás sempre a primeira pessoa q verá ao acordar, ao adormecer…
Sempre serás tu
O tudo
Olha, se algum dia vieres a querer este meu mundo
Vem, 'tá?
Vem, vem, ve…
Volta pra mim

Stop feeding my words

Nao me enganes c/ o teu toque
Nao me mintas c/ o teu olhar
Nao me digas q precisas de mim
nem q sou tudo que desejas
pois a verdade é q pareço ser mais uma
mais uma
so mais uma
dentro dos teus dias
so mais um abraço, mais um beijo
lábios gastando tudo q desejo
Stop feeding my heart
of all the things untrue
Stop opening the me
who so desperately hungers for u

Sabes q o qro.
Também notas q eu me repito frequentemente...too often
Até da pra te saturar, nao?

Qro-o fazer feliz
Qro ser aquele alguém c/ quem ele deseja viver os seus sonhos
Eu qro passar a noite c/ ele, acordar a seu lado
(todos os dias?)

Qro-o
qro dar-lhe o mundo, ou pelo menos o meu
qro dar-lhe tudo q tenho
tudo q sou
qro-o
qro-o tanto

Poxa, queria tanto ir ter cntg

I wouldn't want much, really
All I want is to be w/ u
Sò isso..that's it
Contentaría-me em estar onde estas, e seria suficiente pra me acalmar
seria suficiente pra me fazer sorrir
Nem te pediria nada que nao me pudesses dar
somente o teu olhar e respirar
somente essa tua maneira de me fazer sentir---
essa tua maneira de conseguir c/ q eu queira ficar eternamente

Tudo Q Nao Tenho

2004-09-11T09:29:00.000-04:00

Tenho saudades do nevoeiro q se levantava de madrugada
pra nos beijar, ao chegarmos a casa dps de uma noitada
entre amigos
Tenho saudades de ti tb
das gargalhadas ecoando ao descermos as escadas a caminho do Theatro
(gosto mto de ti, sabes?)
Tenho saudades de te abrir os olhos enquanto tentas dormir
e tu rias-te- quer dzr, até o teu sorriso tinha ar de sono!
Qro ouvir as corujas de novo
Qro olhar pro ceu e ser continuamente surpreendida c/ quao repleto
de estrelas ele se encontra
I miss ur warmth
I miss the lingering feeling of ur caresses
(I still feel their effect)
Tenho saudades das caminhadas pelos passeios da cidade
o barulho dos meus chinelos ao descer as escadas da praia
Qro sentir de novo a areia nos meus pés
Qro sentir-te a ti
I miss (too much) sentar-me nas esplanadas ao fim da tarde
e ouvir a musica cantando pra cidade inteira
(but it feels like it's just for me)

And yes, I am repetitive...but I can't help it if speaking of u
brings a smile to my face.
Gosto de ti, sabes?

embirrando, pq o leitinho já gelou

2004-08-11T08:17:00.000-04:00

ur mocking tones make me want to wring ur voice
like one does to wring a piece of clothing dry
i wanna drain the sound of ur voice
until muteness kicks in
until all i see is ur lips movings
but the sound i'll hear--the sound of silence
i wanna break the noise u make,
the pollution to my ears
i wanna throw out ur voice
along w/ all the other garbage on trash day

More than just this

2004-08-05T08:45:00.000-04:00

I get lost in the translation of the words spoken
and the thoughts they came from
I hang on to broken chains
I want more than what my words offer me
these thoughts never come out straight
and usually wreck themselves on the way out
they hold on to the broken chains w/ eyes closed
and plunge into the uncertainty of what they'll bcm
no, it's not everything i've dreamt
for these dreams venture on rollercoasters held by broken chains
I remember not fearing to lose, b/c everything seemed like a gain,
a victory
a constant mystery of all that was still to be seen
I want more than just ok
more than just the ordinary
I hang on to broken chains
but i'm not giving up
I want my words to have life
wish they'd open their eyes and finally start walking
Where have I been?
If u see me, please come my way
take the broken chains from my hands
Don't let me see them again
I don't want to simply get by--
wipe the hair from my sticky cheeks
unclutter my mind
so that i may have room to breathe (again)
take the broken chains
wash my fingertips
help me repaint the dreams my sight has lost

Se pudesse falar cntg

2004-08-02T08:39:00.000-04:00

Sometimes i wonder why i miss u so much
u, on the other side of the Atlantic
so far from sight, mas tao perto do coraçao
amo-te
amo-te de tal maneira que o meu coraçao rasga-se em pensamento de ti
tenho saudades de quem és
saudades do oxigenio que me das
tenho saudades
saudades
tantas, tantas
and i wonder why my heart doesn't leave u
i wonder why it can't get away
but i thought distance puts out the flames
and my tears would drown w/ the rain
but i've been fooled
fooled
why do i long to feel ur breath?
tenho saudades
até daquilo que de ti ainda nao conheço
sinto a tua falta
lembras-te quando o sol me aquecia c/ os seus beijos
e na areia, eu sonhava
sonhava cntg
desejando que as horas nao passassem
que os momentos se prolongassem
que os dias nao acabassem
pois assim nao estaria agora aqui
escrevendo-te
pra te dizer que te desejo mais perto de mim

Stories of u

2004-07-29T08:49:00.000-04:00

The tires splash against the used up pavement
these streets now lay in solitude and its dents could cry stories
tell of heartaches
and broken hearts
these used up streets would say so much if someone would just stop for them
my drive thru u, like an off key voice trying to sound sweet in all its anguish
broken melodies
u open up to me as i run thru u w/o looking back
but nevertheless observant of all the lights finally saying good-night,
and late night walks--
and u
drinking up what u can take
hoping i'd wait--take just a little bit longer
to listen to ur voice
u gently rasp against my tires and ur tears tap my window
one glance and i'm not bothered
for ur voice resounds in this city
it speaks like all the others in btwn u and me and the place i want to get to
and their voices, too, are just a bit too familiar

2004-07-20T17:21:00.000-04:00

I fear not having u
so i don't leave
but i don't stay either
i'm somewhere in btwn
and that too isn't good enough
w/ no meeting place
no hiding space
i stand here
btwn the me and the person i should be
bcm
but both wish to have the same thing--
u
stuck in btwn each other
stuck in the loves of another
dying to be ravished--
i want u
and i fear not having u
i dont leave u
b/c if i did
i wouldn't even be in this in btwn
of the me
and the person i'm still to be

Além dos Paradoes

2004-07-20T09:41:00.000-04:00

I miss u
I miss u b/c every once in a while the air smells of u
I miss u b/c a dog barking in the distance echoed back my longing for u
I miss u b/c i see the apple trees blooming and that in itself takes me back to u,
and there, i miss u
I miss u
e queres saber porquê?
I miss u b/c the thought of having um corneto de frutos silvestres
ou um perna de pau brings me back to u
for only u can do such a thing to me
I miss u b/c a aragem do mar provoca-me saudade
e o pôr do sol, ou falta dele, traz-me lágrimas aos olhos
Lembro-me claramente de descer as dunas só pra poder sentir a areia fina entre os meus dedos
e lembro-me da maneira que as ondas batiam (e continuam a bater) contra os rochedos, as divisoes dos paradoes
and i remember my heart cooling off as i sat there w/ so many voices, so many people, yet completely isolated from my surroundings
I long to have u back
I long to go to u
to finally greet u
to be able to breathe u once again
to feel u brush against me
na aragem, no silêncio recentemente quebrado, nesse barulho calmo e sutil do dia recem nascido
quero beijar-te ao sair do aviao

Mais um Telefonema

2004-07-06T14:33:00.000-04:00

Don't wanna create an illusion. Not another one.
Amor, tu queres-me?
Don't wanna breathe another lie. Not again.
Gostas de ouvir a minha voz?
Don't wanna miss u anymore. Nem mais esta vez.
Lindo, o que é que sentes por mim?
Nao quero sentir mais um fraco por ti. There have been too many.
Love, where am i in ur world? Serei eu o centro dele?
Nunca o esperei ser, mas gostaría de pelo menos viver nele.
Don't wanna create dreams w/o a definite path for them. Nao c/ o que tem a ver contigo. Nao agora. Talvez jamais o farei.
Amor, quero-te. Mas a minha voz nao a ouvirás. E nao é por falta de vontade de te o dizer, mas sim por falta de vontade de o quereres ouvir.

Os Meus Dias de Praia

2004-07-06T12:18:00.000-04:00

Tu, amor
és como o sol em dias de praia
quanto mais me beijas mais te desejo
e por vezes até saio da tua presença
mas regresso sempre ao fim da tarde
pra sentir os teus carinhos

Prefiro-te a Ti

2004-07-06T12:11:00.000-04:00

Tu
sempre serás a minha Primavera

Re-inventa-me

2004-07-04T23:38:00.000-04:00

Take me from the shelf
rip away the covers
passa os olhos na dedicatoria
e arranca-a também
edit all the pages' contents
cada palavra e ponto final
responde as perguntas
e apaga os pontos de exclamaçao
e os resumos que fizeres
serao estórias do que eu era
corrige erros
altera as frases
mas tira-me de onde estou
e escreve-me de novo

2004-06-24T14:43:00.000-04:00

Why should i let u, who are of no importance to me, stir up meaningless words, and pointless potions, in hopes of bringing the likeness of ur eyes upon me.

At ur fingertips

2004-06-23T08:59:00.000-04:00

Sometimes, when i drive, when i walk, when i eat, and sometimes when i sleep, i find myself thinking of u. i wonder if i'm crossing the same crosswalk u crossed. if i'm sitting in the same booth where u've sat. if both of us are walking parallel to each other, better even, if towards each other. i wonder if the stars have their eyes on both of us, that is, if we were walking under the same breath of stars. my heart flutters w/ the echo of ur voice u know. sometimes i wear the old t-shirt u left at my house, just so i can hold u close again. and i feel more complete that way. Sabes, when the wind dances thru my hair, it feels as if ur fingers are the ones doing so. e sem dar por mim, encontro-me suspirando fundo. encontro-me de olhos fechados, voltada a ti, a pensar em ti, e nas coisas que faço por ti, apesar da tua ausência.

2004-06-20T23:25:00.000-04:00

Can u imagine what it's like to kiss someone, the someone w/ whom u'll spend forever w/? Can u imagine how it feels to look that person in the eyes? Can u feel the intensity of that kiss? The craziness in the meeting of ur lips. not craziness in the way u'd kiss the person, but craziness in how weak in the knees and how faint of heart u'd be. Would u be able to hold back ur tears? Would u be able to handle the 100 mile/sec beating of ur heart? So much intensity, that u feel u'd explode if u didn't look away--the person's eyes overcoming u. When exchanging vows, how would u feel? How would u feel, standing face to face w/ ur love, w/ ur someone, someone who'd forever be no one elses, but urs. Can u imagine the feeling of exchanging rings and w/ this ring u'd be making infinite promises, u'd be telling the person that u'll forever be his/hers.

Fica Sabendo Que...

2004-06-17T15:27:00.000-04:00

When i move ur scent sways from my clothing
it dances around me
it imitates ur embrace
relembra-me da doçura do teu abraço
how good it is to touch ur skin
soothing softness to my hands
i can still smell ur cologne on my hands
it makes me go back to u
makes me think of u, again
and again
i can't help but keep my hand close to my face
b/c i wanna feel u again
i close my eyes
and continually drift back to u

2004-06-17T11:55:00.000-04:00

Estou esfomeada por ti
mas tenho-me contentado em petiscar
no som do teu nome

Mixed Loves

2004-06-17T09:47:00.000-04:00

I'm falling out of love w/ u
e cada vez menos
i strive to get back up
e c/ cada queda
menos me apetece levantar
i've taken ur love--
the privelege to love u for granted
parece que já nem me importo mais
but of course i do
I'm wasting my time on these speechless sheets
who only speak when they are spoken to
(but i wish they had different manners at times..like now)
Nao é quando me passas os dedos pelo cabelo
que sinto alguma coisa
mas sim, quando repouso a minha face no teu peito
ou perto do teu ombro
(adorei)
que me apetece amar-te de novo
ontem á noite senti saudades tuas
nao te encontravas em casa
e a tua voz também estava á distancia
and i'm taking this farther that i can handle
mas estes detalhes sao esquecidos
cada vez que ouço a tua voz

É uma Necessidade

2004-06-16T14:28:00.000-04:00

Sometimes when i breathe deeply, regardless of where i am, the aroma of my hometown comes to me. the aroma of the flowers. the aroma of foods, the cafes, or of simply walking down the street..how it all comes to me, too often. Sometimes i stop, close my eyes and float away. E quando abro os olhos, noto que o meu coraçao palpita fortemente, incontrolavelmente. but for some reason i can't explain as to why that happens. É semelhante ao que acontece quando passas por mim.

Fotografias reveladas

2004-06-16T08:31:00.000-04:00

Dentro d'um baú repousavam tranquilamente
as nossas vidas
embora já passadas e esquecidas
quer dizer, até esse preciso momento
em qual ele se abriu
já nem passeava na memória, a tua face
mas reacordaste
e eu, também
ao sentimento abafado pelo tempo esquecido

Fotografias

2004-06-15T15:20:00.000-04:00

O coraçao reflete simplesmente
aquilo que pintamos
e c/ o passar do tempo arquivamos

E Hoje

2004-06-15T11:14:00.000-04:00

I'm deadly taken by u
I don't mind asphyxiating my love for u
I don't mind suffocating if, I, at least
have the chance to tell u 'i love u'
bf i do so

Mais uma coisa

2004-06-14T12:41:00.000-04:00

The miles btwn us
tornam-se centimetros
ao ouvir a tua voz

And

2004-06-14T09:53:00.000-04:00

My ice cream
drips w/ sweetness
melts liquidly in my mouth
much like ur kiss

Just to let u know

2004-06-14T09:50:00.000-04:00

Amor,
quero-te
imensamente
quero-te
demasiado
quero-te
cada vez mais
quero-te
mais ainda
cada vez que suspiro o teu nome

Decide-te

2004-06-11T09:57:00.000-04:00

Just
don't need my
eyes
to
be burdened
by
the fickle
light
trying
to
get
in
tu
tu
saturas-me

Pára

2004-06-08T23:21:00.000-04:00

u keep running thru the main avenues of my mind
ignoring traffic lights and disobeying stop signs
u fail to see me asking u to stop
please pull over
and please love
please get off

á tua porta

2004-06-08T18:32:00.000-04:00

Amor
como é dificil beijar somente a tua face
nao queria sentir o vazio do teu abraço
dificil fechar os meus olhos
respirar-te fundo
e nao poder amar os teus lábios

Eternidade

2004-06-08T14:14:00.001-04:00

hoje
o nosso ontem
illusioned in our minds
se por acaso tudo fosse tao perfeito
como os nossos sonhos e desejos
e hoje, representante de mais que um simples dia
mais que um simples numero,
seria representante de uma eternidade
virado ao contrario

2004-06-08T14:08:00.000-04:00

pra ti tudo é poesia
e pra mim tu também és

Repetiçoes: 1/2 em 1/2 hora

2004-06-08T08:46:00.000-04:00

i can't open my eyes w/o seeing ur face
em todo tempo penso em ti
ocupas-me demais a cabeça
e se nao o fosse
nao estaría agora a escrever sobre ti
nao estaría agora a pensar em ti
nao me estaría a perguntar
'será que já acordou?'
'mas será que...?'
os teus olhos sao lindos
e tudo isto é uma repetiçao
(falhas d'um sanguineo)
mas nao me importo
porque de ti falaría até me desvaziar de palavras
até desaprender o que aprendi
sò pra que pudesse conhecer-te de novo

Pela tarde e todos os outros dias

2004-06-07T19:30:00.000-04:00

Como tu és lindo
como é bom estar a teu lado
e falar contigo, enquanto as nossas maos
também conversam entre elas
e é tao saboroso passar os meus dedos nos teus braços
somente as pontas, deslizando para trás e para frente na tua pele
toques insignificantes, pro olho que ainda nao aprendeu a ver
como tu és lindo
como é bom passar contigo os meus dias
as minhas tardes preguiçosas
deitar-me em teus braços
em teu peito adormecer
olhar nesses teus olhos
querido, como és lindo
c/ esse teu sorriso inocente
sorriso envergonhado
how good it is to be by ur side
ur breath respirando por mim
como é bom sentir-te
como é bom tocar a tua face
cara de menino como essa
olhos inocentes como os teus
como és lindo
lindo querido
és lindo.

Sabes, gostaría...

2004-06-07T10:03:00.000-04:00

Gostaría tanto dos teus olhos
se somente eles me pudessem olhar
e eu a eles
Gostaría imenso do teu abraço
se somente os meus braços te pudessem abraçar
e eles a mim
Gostaría tanto dos teus lábios
se eles me pudessem beijar
e os meus os teus
e os teus a minha face
e de novo os meus lábios
se pudessem percorrer a tua face
os teus olhos
o teu pescoço
Gostaría tanto de ver os teus olhos
mais uma vez

Random thoughts abt u

2004-06-04T11:13:00.000-04:00

the air smells of ur breath
i wanna drink out of a chocolate water fountain,
i wanna drink from ur lips
sweet and creamy are u under my tongue

Ur face is the Biggest Lie

2004-06-04T09:49:00.000-04:00

Their eyes set in disbelief
and i grow smaller by the stare
their voices lower to a whisper
and their eyes glisten as they speak
'oh', their lips mumble
as their sweet smiles set abt
plastered smiles on their face
just another one out of the case
my heart cringes
how can people live a lie
how does a face have two sides
how can u smirk at the things for which i strive

Volta Pra Mim Amor

2004-06-04T09:01:00.000-04:00

Sonhei contigo pela noite-
c/ a tua face, e os teus sorrisos-
c/ os teus olhos, e os teus lábios
deixei a minha janela aberta
e o teu perfume passeava pelo meu quarto,
ia e voltava
mexia em meus cabelos
cantava levemente em meus ouvidos
beijava-me os olhos
e o meu coraçao batia mais forte
e tu aprofundaste-te em mim
em meus sonhos
em meu sono
ouvia a tua voz ao longe, e mesmo ali
corria pra ti
corri em tua direçao
e mais uma vez amor,
deixaste-me pela manha
c/ o perfume do teu corpo
brotando em minha pele

Quero viver a cores

2004-06-03T16:10:00.000-04:00

Quero ser tua, sabes? Ser preenchida.
porque neste momento encontro-me em branco,
tal como um desenho nao acabado. sou os traços,
os riscos e até as linhas apagadas, esperando
que tu, querido me venhas pintar.

As Palavras Suteis do Meu Amor

2004-06-02T17:17:00.000-04:00

Na outra noite fui acordada por ti, amor. estavas á minha porta sussurrando palavras, e rias-te levemente. (pensavas que nao me acordarias) e eu levantei-me, tal como tu, levemente para que nao realizasses que eu já nao descansava mais. e ao encostar o meu ouvido na porta, ouvia-te claramente. falavas e falavas. amor, dizias cada coisa. falavas de alegrias, e doçuras, de carinhos. rias-te tal como uma criança, envergonhada, como se falasse da miúda de quem gosta. apesar de nao te ver directamente, sei que a tua face corava. e a minha, meu amor, também. e eu ri-me. e sorri. e suspirei ao sentir o teu respirar infiltrando o quarto, pela pequena fechadura. saboroso o calor da tua boca. e amor, beijei-te. beijei-te levemente para nao te acordar.

Fracos

2004-06-01T14:18:00.000-04:00

Gostaría de te ter escrito c/ tinta mais forte,
talvez mais escura. Sei que ao sair dos meus lábios, debotou, já sangrou.Devería-te ter puxado a mim. Devería-te ter puxado um pouco mais perto. Devería ter sentido em meu peito, o bater do teu coraçao.
assim, já nada ficaría por dizer. Assim, tería a oportunidade de sentir o teu perfume, e respirar-te fundo. Devería-te ter marcado sò mais um pouco c/ as minhas palavras, ou talvez os meus lábios. Assim, nao te írias c/ tanta facilidade. Assim, querido, o meu coraçao ainda sería legivel aos teus olhos, que o passam, em branco.

2004-06-01T11:54:00.000-04:00

nao gostei de mudar
pois nao sei ser diferente

Juras...

2004-06-01T09:23:00.000-04:00

Don't like the way u make me feel.things have stopped
moving the way they first did. agora fazem-no por dever e nao por querer. nao por vontade. and i don't like the way i feel outside.all i do is wait.and if u notice, b/c i have, u no longer pass by.Hoje de manha, mais calado que o silêncio, os meus dedos sublinham a tua voz. the remains of ur laughter, i try to gather and make whole once again. desapareceste tao cedo. nem me deste tempo de conhecer os teus olhos. nao me deixaste fazer deles um lugar particular, onde eu a qualquer momento podería mergulhar.nao gosto das saudades que de ti sinto.nao gosto do vazio da tua voz.nao gosto do facto que continuo a tua espera, aqui fora.

2004-05-27T16:25:00.000-04:00

Gostaría que Gostasses de mim
assim Gostaríamos um do outro
e tudo sería mais doce
a teu lado

*there's always something lost in translation

I would like u
to like me
that way, we'd like each other
and everything would be so much sweeter
at ur side

Sabes

2004-05-27T15:05:00.000-04:00

Já me ultrapassaste, e eu já nem te quero perseguir
passo-te ao lado e os teus olhos já nem olham pra mim
passas por mim e nao me esperas
sabes também acho que mudei
tal como tu o continuas a fazer
e eu quero passar por ti
falar c/ os teus olhos
mas as barreiras sao dificeis de subir

2004-05-27T14:40:00.000-04:00

Certas coisas ficam por desmascarar
tal como a maneira que me falas,
o teu agir
e por vezes certas coisas caiem mais fortes
no coraçao
e nao quero pensar nisso
mas ao ver-te volto ao começo
os meus pés sangram
e a minha voz chora a caminho do teu coraçao

Certain things are left uncovered
like the way u speak to me,
the way u act
and sometimes certain things fall harder
on the heart
and i don't wanna think abt that
but when i see u i go back to where i began
and my feet, they bleed
and my voice cries on its way to ur heart

2004-05-26T20:34:00.000-04:00

On beautiful days, those where the sun is fuller than life
And holds nothing back
Someone is hoping to be sun kissed at least for that afternoon
Wishing away the paleness of the week, who so cruely erases away
the rosiness from her cheeks
(what’s left of it)
Breathe, child breathe for I’m still to let u go
I’m still to let all ur hues fade from u
Laughter filled afternoons where the birds chirp
And the tree branches sway back and forth as if dancing to the wind-
A moment of worship to the heavens
And she walks past the swaying trees but fails to notice that each breath isn’t hers,
But it belongs to the hand who makes the trees dance for her
The one who makes the sun run after her, so that she may be sun kissed
The one who draws away the curtains of heaven, so that on rainy days she may still feel warmth
To the one who’s her oxygen, the breath in her lungs
The one who breathed into her, life

2004-05-26T16:34:00.000-04:00

so pretty on the terrace as the wind blows, and she, too, sways along w/ it, and not to the music whispering from the headphones. she closes her eyes hoping to drift away, hoping to find a place where her thoughts could rest. but the only place she's taken to, over and over again, is where he is, or would be, if here.
Já nao a acho a mesma, mas quem sou eu pra dizer alguma coisa. i wonder why the strawberries don't taste as good anymore. or why the grass doesn't feel as green as it did.
they shaped a shrub in to a chair, and she laughed as she tried to sit on it. so did everyone else. even the neighbor, peeking thru the window. (i wonder where that laughter has gone.) but she sits alone right now, w/ the wind blowing in as saudades. i see it. i wonder if she's able to see me from there. her lips whisper secrets to the wind no one else is invited to take part of. and the night falls, but she doesn't seem to notice the heavy laughter coming from the cozinha. estam todos a falar, a rir-se e a gozar. apesar de tanto barulho, as vozes sao como calmantes.the stars tingle her eyes. and the voices, again, resound in the air e tornam-se a musica das estrelas

2004-05-26T10:35:00.000-04:00

I've taken this time to w/draw from ur voice. I can't give up my coffee just yet, b/c that'll be too much at once. In fact, i'm sipping it right now as i write. and though it may not be as sweet, and warm as ur voice, it gives me a good kick for the remainder of this rainy day.

Lembro-me...

2004-05-25T08:53:00.000-04:00

Do u remember how the streets were back then?
when we used to walk together to the store or to the café, to get ice cream or gum. I recall still seeing an old ice cream poster on one of the windows, and laughing. i laughed. i laughed as i looked at the prices. not heart filled laughter, but softly, almost to myself b/c my eyes couldn't bear to cry of how things used to be back then. and i wouldn't cry in full sadness, but partly in longing for the innocence and life's simple pleasures, like trading bubble gum flavors. Remember when we used to build little huts in the eira and the pinhais? and we called it our little hideaway. and it was. Don't recall from what but nevertheless, it was the place we'd resort to every summer afternoon. we'd take swims in the stream under the abandoned moinho. we'd explore the inside in awe, for our imaginations never stopped running wild, as we tried to figure out who, just who belonged to this place. and the bigger question was, why, why would the person leave?
Do u remember how we used to fall in love w/ each other, but u'd never admit it. and it may not have been love the way we now know love, or have come to accept love, but it was a better love. We'd have sleep overs and i'd dream of u. but u wouldn't know. u wouldn't come to find out til later, much later. but it never stopped me from continuing my dreams of u. and like our reoccuring summer afternoons, ur face was always new to me. always something different to see. always something different i'd want to feel.
Do u still remember, we used to play together... ...

No teu olhar

2004-05-24T14:18:00.000-04:00

o meu coraçao ainda palpita
mas somente quando te vejo
e nao quando penso em ti
bate forte, nao sei se é por gostar de ti
mas sei que fico disorientada quando te olho
(it's like when one gets up too quickly, sabes?)
é mesmo assim
e quando chegas perto de mim e eu sorrio,
sei que nao sabes o que penso, mas talvez sim o que vejas
nos meus olhos
e por isso viro a cara pra que a minha face nao venha a refletir
o que os meus olhos tanto desejam falar
e é por isso e outras mais razoes
que o meu coraçao continuamente palpita por ti

Entre nós

2004-05-24T10:41:00.000-04:00

Entre vontades e desejos
existo eu
e a minha consciência batalhando o coraçao
puxando palavras e olhares
apagando ilusoes e irrealidades
trazendo de volta tudo aquilo
que recuso sentir

Querido, se eu te deixasse voar
levarias-me e deixarias-me flutuando entre as montanhas
até finalmente cair nas bocas dos vales
que se satisfazem e alegram c/ as quedas que damos

2004-05-20T15:12:00.000-04:00

"u'r the only alcohol i wanna consume
u'r something i wanna get drunk on for awhile
w/ a shot of ur cheeks and a shot of ur smile
a shot of ur lips and a shot of ur eyes
so now there is no surprise-
i'm drunk off of u
w/ no possible way to wake up feeling sick
ur words intoxicate me
to the point that i never wanna be sober
each word is a drop of liquor
each look is another drop
each touch raises my level of dependency
u'r a habit i don't want to quit"

Shrills

É que neste cantinho as coisas tornam-se mais aconchegantes
e o barulho nao me perturba tanto
and the voices don't shrill so much
coisas agudas como elas
they leave me on the edge
wanting to jump off and drown those whimpers
in the rivers below
nauseating sounds like of hyenas
dancing victoriously over what wasn't theirs to begin w/

Parem de reclamar sobre tudo
ur whimpers are still repulsive
as u lick others' wounds
and bite them after

"you have ravished my heart, my treasure, my bride.
i am overcome by one glance of ur eyes,
by a single bead of ur necklace.
How sweet is ur love, my treasure, my bride!
How much better it is than wine! Ur perfume
is more fragrant than the richest of spices.
Ur lips, my bride, are as sweet as honey. Yes,
honey and cream are under ur tongue."

How Smiles Come Abt

The sweetest things tend to come unexpectedly
and no
not even the ink of exotic flower petals
can smell as sweet
as the ink from ones heart

When the hearts of men can't be seen
and their eyes are the only way in
people smile but they grin
people care
or so they say
they purchase kindness by the pound
but they're so broke
they quickly run out
when hearts tear
and eyes can't see
they prowl the streets
in search of those who bleed

Demasiado

2004-05-17T10:59:00.000-04:00

stuck in btwn voices
stranded in btwn the fake smiles
and made up looks
the softened voices just for play
so sugar coated they're melting at room temperature
and their sweetness turns words bitter
(at least for those who see beyond it)
caiem-me mal
tal como as porcarias que comemos

Certas coisas já nem valem a pena...
(pelo menos por hoje)

As Simplicidades Morrem Cada Dia Mais

These words are truthless, mere sounds I hear and thoughts I listen to.
Uma coisa que tens que ter é coraçao, mas mesmo assim nem isso é tudo, e nem sequer
muito importante. Um c/ imaginaçao já se encontra mais longe do que aqueles que fazem tudo e escrevem tudo usando uma sò fonte: O sentimento. E esse tal 'truque' nao se encontra tanto na abilidade de usar a caneta como a de usar o corrector, ou neste caso de usar o butaozinho titulado 'backspace'.
Pensamentos e palavras até já se corrigem c/ a ajuda da tecnologia. E chegamos ao ponto de até comprar/mandar e fazer tudo desde cartoes virtuais/electronicos a mandar ramos de flores a esse alguém especial, e outros que nem vale a pena mencionar. Se o fizesse mostraría simplesmente o quanto deslocamos o nosso coraçao. Pois já nao vale a pena comprar sêlos. Já nao vale a pena o gosto de vermos sentimentos por escrita, ou aquela ansiedade de ver na tua caixa de correio aquele envelope c/ o nome desse alguém e manchas da caneta que foi usada pra expressar seu carinho. É que agora os telegramas cessaram de existir. E aquele toque pessoal de ter que andar pelo menos um kilometro pra o/a ver, esse também inexistente se tornou. Nao vale a pena pois temos tudo ao controle de nossos dedos, de nossas vozes--e a pessoa passa a estar 'a um toque'.
