This shadow that I am 

Is what is left 

Of your bright burnt

Carved deep in stone

I remain silently 

Waiting for the sun 

To reveal you in my new shape 

Like ghosts dancing quietly 

And blending in a spin 

Untill they become one 

The pain in my back 

Is the only thing 

That keeps my head up 

O dinheiro que eles me deram 

Gastei em cigarro

pra aguentar o que eles fizeram comigo

a poem of fire

All words are here 

Lying invisible in a blank page 

And yet 

I struggle to find them 

I would like to make you 

An irresistible offer 

But it is not 

I would like to promise you 

That you would be safe 

But I can not 

I would like to say that 

That would be the best time in your life 

But I'm not so proud 

I would like to say 

That we would last forever 

But I know no one can say that 

What it is then 

What I ask and offer? 

To be completely honest 

I am not sure

I just wish the blank space 

To turn in wonderful words 

That bring you closer to me 

That make you take a deep breath when thinking of me 

As I do when I think of you 

A poem to make you close your eyes 

And kiss me with the same emotion 

Of two kids in their first kiss 

All over again 

And for us to like each other 

With the very same devotion 

That's it 

That's the formula

I want to write you 

A poem to bring back 

That early feeling 

To reaweke the hope in human kind 

To revive hope 

To stop believing that love is lost

To make the flowers bloom 

The sun shine brighter 

To make you explode on a laugh look at me and kiss taking a deep breath and saying: 

I love you

But I can't 

I lack the talent 

To express how beautiful my feelings for you are 

How sweet and tender you look through my eyes 

I can't say it in a fancy manner 

That every move you make catches my eyes 

And that sometimes is hard to talk and even to breathe when you are around 

Because I am not a poet 

And that would be hard to believe 

Since I am not a kid 

Oh how I wish 

I could put all the light and fire in my heart

in a poem 

And give it to you
