Insomnia, my darling I could stay in your arms for hours I could burn myself in the thought of you I could drown myself in this abandonment but my dear let me go dip my tired body in the sea of Morpheus…😔 Continue reading Insomnia

And she said to him, ‘I look around me and all I can see is pain. I see pain living in people’s eyes, in their lungs, in their bones. You can see that it hurts for some people just to breathe, and when winter comes and the wind touches them, you can see their bodies cringe as it enters the cracks of their broken soul, forcing them to face all the pain they’ve been trying to avoid. And some people are in so much pain that when the wind pierces their skin, it doesn’t touch them at all; it goes right … Continue reading Love…

Os versos não são como se acredita, sentimentos apenas (estes nós os temos em demasia), mas são experiências. Para fazer um verso deve-se ver muitas cidades, seres humanos e coisas; deve-se aprender a conhecer os animais, sentir o voo dos pássaros e saber o gesto das pequenas flores quando se abrem ao amanhecer. É necessário recordar os caminhos já percorridos por lugares desconhecidos, encontros inesperados e despedidas pressentidas, os dias da infância surgidos de forma estranha, seguidos de profundas e graves transformações; os dias transcorridos sós e silenciosos; as manhãs perto do mar; pensar nas altas horas da noite cheias … Continue reading Entre versos e desatinos…

Fell down to my knees in front of an honest sky and truth, with its piercing crown of light, tore at my skin  and told me to stand. Slowly, slowly, I stood, inhaled dusk. The clouds, those clouds, how softly they supported my spine. And these years old boots, with nicks and bruises, still determined to carry me another day … another night… other dreams…❤ Continue reading To my knees…

No, I did not choose to fight forever, some days I just turn the pillow on the other side and let it go in anonymity, gray painless. Then I remember that I am (or rather what I believe to be), I am reminded of the commitments, the faces of people I love …. and I say, okay today, they are still here. And ‘for this reason’ I feel like a warrior, because one day after another, like a mantra, I am able to repeat it, and it’s true: even today, I’m still here ….it is always time to fight…♥ Continue reading Nope…

1. Write letters to the people you love. Don’t seal them; don’t send them. Instead, stick them between the pages of library books. 2. Eat mangos off your fingertips. 3. Venture outside and observe natural life. Watch a honey bee suck the nectar from lavender plants. Watch a snail slowly make its way towards the shade of a tree. Watch a hummingbird innocently fly above your head. Realize how insignificant you are. 4. Smile at strangers; say hello. It will improve their day and your own. 5. Write lists. They can be about anything. 6. Read several pages of the … Continue reading When you are sad…

Am I just a fool? I think not inclined the voice in my head I have fed from the fruit called Life and have tasted the sweet and bitter end of it. Suffice to my understanding that I am now wise beyond my years, the fears and tears of my impertinent childhood, a lesson I find irrefutable. Pride is nothing more than an act I find excusable…Excuse me… Ignorant in my ways, I used to think crime pays…The irony of life is that when you get caught you’re the one who pays. Ignorance is more deadly than an unsheathed sword…About … Continue reading I am just a fool…

The moon floated and drifted through the night, landing in my thoughts, on my dreams, upon my face, its loving shine so awakening and tranquilizing. It was the first time in a long time my soul felt at peace, the restlessness finally fading after days, perhaps weeks of that constant turmoil feeling, a storm had been brewing inside, it’s hunger insatiable while contained in any four-walled structures. I walked and walked and walked, alone and silent; my high heels softly crunching the newly fallen leaves was the only sound around for miles. The dew grew in size and solidity, becoming … Continue reading Silence…

Take good care. Notice the details. Look into the eyes. Try to notice what no one notices. Caress hands. Carry a flower on any day. Get surprised! Listen carefully. Be sincere. Love is built in the simplicity . Nowadays it is so rare because we do not stop to notice that it stumbles in the great mountains but in the small stones…❤️🙏   Continue reading Love is built in the simplicity
