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 

 

It's fucking spring for the Christ sake

When I look for a safe place 

I always come back to my poems 

Between pain and boredom

Unquiet I rest

Whit my chest 

Wide open 

Lifting my tired eyes 

To the stars above 

I would like to cry out aloud 

A song to wake up our generation 

Like a howl to the moon 

Like the thunderous sound of breaking waves 

Like the dance of leaves to the wind 

Like the petals silently postponing its fall

Outrageous, furious, unrelenting 

And also silent, calming, harmonious 

Like the sound of silence 

Or the realisation of a dream

But I can't 

So I gave my back to it all 

And I've chosen the lonely path 

Barefooted between the roots, the grass, and the threes 

Letting the silence inside 

Be flooded with the light from outside

Listening only to the wisdon 

Of the wind and the birds 

Beautiful things that fades in a blink of an eye

 

Like all beauty 

Relies on the fast passage of time 

What is beauty them 

If not the delicate state of a moment 

And what are us 

If not the very air 

That one day will be gone for good 

If not the warmth that will give it up to the cold 

And what are we doing in the between? 

Building houses of cards? 

Chasing ghosts? 

Are your eyes even open? 

We just have today 

The spring is upon us 

Flowers are blooming 

I try to wonder 

Where the butterflies were hiding 

But I forget their absence for now they're here

And here we are 

Cornered by all those fears 

All those echoes 

Saying no in our heads 

Can't you hear the wind telling us to go?

Can't you hear the birds singing for today? 

You're locked in a screen 

And we're losing all the fun 

Spring is upon us

Hurry up 

You only live once

And the only way of living 

Is living today

Turn everything off 

And reconnect 

Ela quer isso 

Ela só não quer isso de você

standing tall like a flower

Eu tô aqui pra celebrar aonde eu estou 

E quem eu sou 

Como uma flor se destacando no alto 

Me nutrindo de tudo que me deixou feliz 

E o que me deixou triste também

O riso é meu 

E a sabedoria é minha também 

Eu sou uma flor se destacando no alto 

E uma nova primavera está chegando na minha vida 

Essas memórias me nutrem

Eu tenho vocês todas 

Oh minhas memórias

Bebo dessa seiva 

Eu tenho você 

Eu conheço você agora 

E sou muito grato por isso tudo 

Eu estou desabrochando outra vez 

Nesse jardim das delícias que é a vida 

Aonde tudo é possível e permitido 

Eu cavei fundo com as minhas raízes 

Sobrevivi a tantos invernos 

E vivi tantos verões

Agora estou pronto 

Pra iluminar outra vez 

O meu polem é fértil 

E eu estou aberto 

Olhando adiante com um sorriso brilhante

Como o brilho dos sóis

Que passaram todos pelos meus olhos 

Se eu fui ruim ou bom 

Eu fui 

Autêntico

Fiel e infiel 

Bom ou mau 

E essa bagagem tem muitas coisas boas e divertidas 

E muita sabedoria

E eu quero mais 

Sempre mais 

Essa inquietude que me move 

E me faz buscar um lugar ao sol 

E eu me sinto pronto 

Pra construir novas memórias alucinantes 

E viver a vida plena 

Nesse eterno verão que se aproxima no horizonte
