Fading Smoke

I close my eyes and hope to fall asleep.

Am I dreaming or is this just unreal?

looking at the void where breathing used to be

all the faults I've made it's what is left to see...

The beast within paints footsteps in blood,

a canvas once so pure waiting by the phone,

in all the innocence I wasn't the one aware

like a fallen god, is this my cross to bear?



Among crowded streets

I walk through the emptiness,

a lit cigarette slowly fades away...

Painted grayness of what life became,

see the colors on a life of black & white,

making up rules in or out the game

when all my dreams were lost

and jaded, in just a day!



Smiling to the eyes of strangers,

in silence is where I find myself,

as the ashes grow colder on fading smoke

a flame extinguishes slowly for another burn!

Now...

As the moon fades uncertainty goes by,

the sun as a filter washes thoughts away

as tears run down silently over a glass

a burnt cigarette over the thoughts of life...

Why couldn't I say it before goodbye?

ever so close yet so far away,

so much left unspoken,

so much left undone...

I look you in the eyes and I can see

whatever reasons took you away from me,

a cure for the blind some could say

as all the matters unwind,

and there was you, and me,

and there was nowhere else I'd rather be!

Why couldn't I see it before goodbye?

Silence isn't uncomfortable anymore,

much can be said without words;

a word that couldn't be said,

a feeling that was never forgotten...

The measure from what everything else is measured,

the standard which I still carry with pride

for a lost battle on a never ending war

a war from which I shall not hide...

Here I stand again,

scarred, strong and ready to face the enemy,

no holy ground or army behind me

a keen soldier to an unfair fight...

The skies once dark and red

are now clear and blue

present's now, the past's dead

as the day brings light night is past

and the night is past,

here we are again,

just me and you...

Last night

Moving towards silent spaces
this world comes to its end
the lights fade and the rain falls slow,
I listen to you breathing slowly
so peacefully caressing the night with your eyes
ever so deeply as you lie in my arms,
and fall asleep...
I drift my fingers through your hair,
the touch of your skin softens me,
I slowly kiss you as you whisper secrets to the infinite
and I wonder how blessed I am in this moment,
how naturally beautiful the night can be by your side,
like the kisses you blessed me with...
Your hair strikes me in the face as I lay next to you,
quietly I drift in the dark looking for you,
to kiss you one more time,
to touch you slowly in every embrace,
to look you up in the eyes
and silently say what doesn't need to be said...
Your presence strikes the air like a whiplash
I inhale the perfume of your skin,
and inebriated I gently drift away with you,
how well it feels to feel you,
how great it is just to share a breath with you,
dazed I look at you once more,
I close my eyes and think
if this world is to end now
there's nowhere else I would rather be.

Personna

I am one
and so are you,
but in individuals lies the silence,
in between words
wisdom is lost
when we lose oureslves inside...
Inside words
we unveil what we won't;
lost in the air,
lost in time,
lost are souls in the night.
We're all individuals,
we're all lunatics,
we're all what we are
within ourselves...
In the silence we let become,
we reveal our thoughts,
our feelings,
and on this strange road
towards the unknown
I drift among the smiles and laughs,
as the kisses lost in the air
fade on the lips and hearts...
In silent words I reveal
what I lack the courage to admit,
I smile and hide beneath it,
a mask some may say,
a shield I admit,
but I am me,
lost in my strange way,
looking towards the infinity
hoping to find my destiny!

The Painter

You are the painter
with the brush of your existence,
you painted a smile in my heart,
like a blank canvas I am
to the joy you brought into my life!
I wonder through the curvature of your strokes,
the intensity you leave in me,
the colour you brought to my life...
I could become a work of art
should you just want me to,
I would be the expression
of what what you uncover...
A drawing is lying here
in this blank canvas,
It's up to you you to reveal it,
with every stroke of you,
with every pungent line,
with every heart felt color...
I would be you as you are me
and we could be one...
I'm here
waiting to be revealed
waiting on every stroke
being naked in every colour,
waiting for your eyes
to finally see what the world holds
inside you for me!

Frozen Kiss

Lost in the shadows
drifting among the waters of disbelief,
I crave for the purity once lost in me,
together apart in silence
we remain,
inhaling the soothing spirit
of my last day...
Looking towards the horizon
looking for a cause,
remaining at the bus stop of pain,
waiting to be carried away
towards destiny…
I'm here standing in this winter
shivering and freezing,
as the air exhales
a man,
a space,
an unknown destination…
I close my eyes and I see
yours looking at me,
killing me,
defying me,
caressing me,
like never before,
as I linger for your touch,
as I stand out in the rain,
as this void of silence fills me
with words unspoken,
I lie on the ground looking to the sky
as the cold air consumes me
in sweet desperation
craving the kiss of your lips,
The blessing in which I'll die...

Another Drop...

I may be just one more
like a drop of rain in the ocean
another breathe in the pale cold air
I'm just another man
one among the others
with kaleidoscopic eyes
I look at the world and everything is upside down
turning around as you see past the place where I used to be
anothe one in a million
another drop in the ocean...
I look up and all gains new meaning
new contours unveil the world
as I open my eyes wide shut
another drop in the ocean 
I merge with it in innocence
I look at you 
and again you see me through
another drop for you
another meaningless breathe of air adoring you
staring at your existence
beholding your soul in infinite madness
but I'm just a drop in the ocean
and nobody misses the rain...

Em Teus Olhos!

Em teus olhos respiro o ar ardente
que em pedacos desfaz meu coracao de papelao
no doce toque do teu olhar 
sinto o meu corpo bater como o sino de um santuario
em regozijo na dor
em dor no regozijo
olhando em volta a nevoa que queima
o som da tua doce voz que arde dentro de mim
como um dragao que me consome e desnuda
e em sons embalo na loucura da noite
vivendo sonhos e acordando para a dura realidade
da distancia que nos separa 
do sentimento que nos aproxima
e do ar que respirando consumimos
uma gula voraz de lufadas de paixao
para as quais acordamos diariamente na ansia
de um dia sermos por ela devorados!
