Who cares

if you are no longer here by down

It doesn't matter if I am just a moment in your life

or your life-long real love

Who cares

if there are some scars left

What matters is today, now

Only this moment matters

only what we feel right now

and I am with you here and now

and hours pass by

and I do not care if life pass by as well

if it is with you or without

because we are like this right now

Who cares

if you are no longer here by down

It doesn't matter if I am just a moment in your life

or if I am your life-long real love

I am with you here and now

I don’t have a recent picture

but will send you these lines

I usually write in prose

but these lines came out in verse

I’t because you have me upside down

way before tasting from your sweetness

thinking of you

every day

and unable to sleep

at night

You were there

before I realiezed

knocking on the door

while I awaited

for the blissful moment of gettingn to know you

let you in,

while your eyes...

your beauty

from toe to head

dazzled me, porcelain doll

clothes flew off

touching your bare body

a pleasure

warm face, boiling skin

honey taste

Couldn’t separate my eyes off your brown eyes

while you rode very far

frozen outdoors but

volcanoes erupted inside

So anxious we left the door unlocked

the air inside the room evaporated

you moaned, I sweated

frozen outdoors but

volcanoes erupted inside

Listeninng you groaning

a melody

Don’t know when will see you again

frozen outdoors but

volcanoes erupted inside

you moaned,

Not sure if will see you again

frozen outdoors but

volcanoes erupted inside

There is a fresh breeze that arrives from far away.

By the time it gets here,

it tells me Oi, hola and hello.

Some times it gets at noon

Some times it gets in the evening

Some other times it gets at night

It comes from the South East

Travels during Winter

and gets here during Summer

It starts near on ocean and near the ocean ends

It goes through the jungles,

flies with the tropical birds through the forest

and catches coffee aroma

The breeze picks mixed particles of both,

the Atlantic and the Pacific

and continue its path…

Continues through jungles,

continues through valleys

shakes the hand of my old country

goes through the mountains and deserts

until reaching me

catching the flavor of grapes

but it still smells like salt

tastes like your lips

brings samba music to my home

touches my cheeks

fills my eyes

makes me laugh

makes me dream

and whispers your name

to my ears

Everything seemed so spacious. I remember it, just as a vague dream.

Everything seems so small today. I sill hear that laughter walking down the streets. Everything is silent for me now. They no longer remember me.

I was left alone, and far away.

Whenever I return, everything seems so small.

Now some laugh, walk, live...

It’s been a long time since I am no longer here.

Every time I tie you

I could tie your wrists

I could tie you by the feet

a handkerchief through your mouth

turn you around

But no,

I can't cover your eyes

I need them open and

love their sweetness

mirroring your contenement

every time I tie you

and charge you until shaking

Once the lights

go out

I will

elevate you

to heaven

and you

will stay

there

forever

If I decide not to stay

I would go walking far away

without looking back

I would always sing songs

with my guitar on my shoulder

I would travel without fatigue

the narrow streets of the city

My wings would grow again

and no one would cut them off

I would rise up to the moon

until able to touch it

Through oceans would swim

All I would cross

stopping in islands

to submerge with mermaids

Would not look for companionship

to avoid falling as prisoner

within some heart

Yet would look for a shelter

and turn it into a home

Would let the door open

to not captivate anyone

Fall in love

with poetry

don’t fall in love

with the poet

Your name could vanish

every letter with time will perish

your name would remain written

on a paper nobody would ever read

Every memory

the wind would blow

just like wind blows all words

and ignored promises

Fall in love

with poetry

don’t fall in love

with the poet

Hiding at night thieves roam

I would not steal your heart

or will cause you more tears

too much pain already have endure

Will not give more loneliness

to a good soul

shredded into pices

turned into cracks

Fall in love

with poetry

don’t fall in love

with te poet

Satiate your thirst with my lips

only when you close your eyes

satiate your bare body

only when opening your mind

If I stay is to grant you

every part of my world

If I leave is to avoid

your eyes from pour

Fall in love

with poetry

don’t fall in love

with the poet

Avoid what happen to me;

from my muse I fall prey

now I can’t get free

of thinking of five letters

A name that is no longer on ink

neither the wind will blow

but dwells tatooed

inside my shattered spirit

If contemplating your lovely smile in a picture

makes my skin to shiver and

when hearing your name

my veins melt

If only thinking of you makes my senses collapse

and picturing your lips turns my mouth to mute, or

walking were you left your steps

burns my insights...

What would happen

if I meet you face to face?

Don't ask my soul how much I idolize you

nor when I will cease of it

Don't ask, just remain silent

I get lost in your glance at me

while walking uncovered

and you admire all of me

in the bedroom of your mind

Open the window and let in

the dew coming from the sea

moistening your bare skin that

is still exhausted after the battle

perspiring sweat that radiates

your entrails, emanating

the perfume that invites delight

My coating palpitates again

Close the window, in case

your wailings are loud,

no one can hear.

Everything remains silent here,

inside, in the bedroom of your mind

where there is nobody,

but me living
