Poems #4

Carlos de Oliveira

Cal*

A cal,
o amor
guardado para os mortos,
dissolvente perfeito
da tua solidão
descarnada
em meu peito,
a cal,
o coração.

*em Trabalho Poético

Poems #3


W. H. Auden
The More Loving One

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Richard Hawley - Coles corner

Cold city lights glowing,
The traffic of life is flowing,
Out over the rivers and on into dark.

Morelenbaum2 & Ruichi Sakamoto - O grande amor

do album Casa, que me envolve nas noites de trabalho, de uma beleza imensa, ainda que profundamente triste. Poucos mestres (nas artes da poesia/música) terão existido como Jobim e Vinicius.

Perditos

De certos homens diz-se que estão perdidos. Perditos.
São como buracos de ácido na vida social normalizada.

Pascal Quignard, As sombras errantes, p. 110

Lamb
"gorecki"

if i should die this very moment
i wouldn't fear
for i've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
or it might burst
could we stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
all this time i've loved you
and never known your face
all this time i've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for...
