loja de porcelanas...
foi por ele que tu me trocaste
às vezes a beleza dói
o que fazia um elefante
entrou e saiu pela frente
e quando o ideal cai
Faz-me o favor...
Faz-me o favor de não dizer absolutamente nada!
Supor o que dirá
Tua boca velada
É ouvir-te já.
.
É ouvir-te melhor
Do que o dirias.
O que és nao vem à flor
Das caras e dos dias.
.
Tu és melhor -- muito melhor!
Do que tu. Não digas nada.Sê
Alma do corpo nu
Que do espelho se vê.
Mário Cesariny 1923-2006 de "O Virgem Negra"

os poemas...
Mario Quintana
Satisfied mind...
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had money, I'd do things my way,
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over and my time has run out.
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt.
But, one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
One thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
Satisfied mind.
o "nada"
(John Cage, "Lecture on Something")
Billy boy didn't left me...
Now that you’ve gone
I stay here with him again
And once more he didn’t left me
So I’m going…
Yes I’m leaving
I’m moving not alone
With my only friend Billy Boy
We’re moving side by side
And we are following the path…
He will drive us nowhere
I am running, around in circles
Trees are guiding us, nowhere…
Emptiness is all I’ve got so
I’m running away from here
I’m moving not alone
We’re moving side by side
And we are following the path…
He will drive us nowhere...

ás vezes...
Às vezes, em dias de luz perfeita e exacta,
Em que as cousas têm toda a realidade que podem ter,
Pergunto a mim próprio devagar
Por que sequer atribuo eu
Beleza às cousas.
Uma flor acaso tem beleza?
Tem beleza acaso um fruto?
Não: têm cor e forma
E existência apenas.
A beleza é o nome de qualquer cousa que não existe
Que eu dou às cousas em troca do agrado que me dão.
Não significa nada.
Então por que digo eu das cousas: são belas?
Sim, mesmo a mim, que vivo só de viver
Invisíveis, vêm ter comigo as mentiras dos homens
Perante as cousas,
Perante as cousas que simplesmente existem.
Que difícil ser próprio e não ver senão o visível!
hold still...
David Fonseca
In this little town
cars they don't slow down
The lonely people here
They throw lonely stares
Into their lonely hearts
.
I watch the traffic lights
I drift on Christmas nights
I wanna set it straight
I wanna make it right
But girl you're so far away
.
Oh, hold still for a moment and I'll find you
I'm so close, I'm just a small step behind you girl
And I could hold you if you just stood still
.
I jaywalk through this town
I drop leaves on the ground
But lonely people here
Just gaze their eyes on air
And miss the autumn roar
I roam through traffic lights
I fade through Christmas nights
I wanna set it straight
I wanna make it right
But man you're so far away
.
Oh, I'll hold still for a moment so you'll find me
You're so close, I can feel you all around me boy
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there
.
Oh, hold still for a moment and I'll find you
You're so close, I can feel you all around me
And I could hold you if you just stood still
Oh, I'll hold still for a moment so you'll find me
I'm so close, I'm just a small step behind you
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there
I know you're somewhere out there...

high tide or low tide...
In high seas or in low seas
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
In high tide or in low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
(I heard her praying, praying, praying)
I said, I heard my mother,
She was praying (praying, praying, praying)
And the words that she said (the words that she said),
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head),
She said, "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, please correct us.
(when we're wrong, correct us).
And stand by me." yeah!
In high seas or in low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
He said, "I'm gonna be your friend."
And, baby, in high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.
I said I heard my mother,
She was crying' (I heard her crying'), yeah! (crying', crying'),
And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed)
They still linger in my head (lingers in my head)
She said: "A child is born in this world,
He needs protection,
Got, guide and protect us,
When we're wrong, (when we're wrong), correct us.
And in high seas or low seas,
I'm gonna be your friend,
I'm gonna be your friend.
Said, high tide or low tide,
I'll be by your side,
I'll be by your side.

to miss...
... just the way you are
Don't go changing, to try and please me,You never let me down before,Don't imagine, you're too familiar,And I don't see you anymore.I would not leave you, in times of trouble,We never could have come this far,I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,I'll take you just the way you are.Don't go trying, some new fashion,Don't change the colour of your hair,You always have my, unspoken passion,Although I might not seem to care.I don't want clever, conversation,I never want to work that hard,I just want someone, that I can talk to,I want you just the way you are.I need to know that you will always beThe same old someone that I knew,What will it take till you believe in me,The way that I believe in you?I said I love you, and that's forever,And this I promise from the heart,I couldn't love you, any better,I love you just the way you are.I don't want clever, conversation,I never want to work that hard,I just want someone, that I can talk to,I want you just the way you are...
Billy Joel
Porque eu quero tudo, ou um pouco mais...
Há sem dúvida quem ame o infinito,
Há sem dúvida quem deseje o impossivel,
Há sem dúvida quem não queira nada
Três tipos de idealistas,
e eu nenhum deles .
Porque eu amo infinitamente o finito,
Porque eu desejo impossivelmente o possivel,
Porque eu quero tudo,
ou um pouco mais,
se puder ser,
Ou até se não puder ser ....
Álvaro de Campos
Vive, dizes no presente...
Vive, dizes, no presente;
Vive só no presente.
Mas eu não quero o presente, quero a realidade;
Quero as coisas que existem, não o tempo que as mede.
O que é o presente?
É uma coisa relativa ao passado e ao futuro.
É uma coisa que existe em virtude de outras coisas existirem.
Eu quero só a realidade, as coisas sem presente.
Não quero incluir o tempo no meu esquema.
Não quero pensar nas coisas como presentes; quero pensar nelas
como coisas.
Não quero separá-las de si-próprias, tratando-as por
presentes.
Eu nem por reais as devia tratar.
Eu não as devia tratar por nada.
Eu devia vê-las, apenas vê-las;
Vê-las até não poder pensar nelas,
Vê-las sem tempo, nem espaço,
Ver podendo dispensar tudo menos o que se vê.
É esta a ciência de ver, que não é nenhuma.
Alberto Caeiro
A vida como luta entre a realidade e o sonho...
A vida é uma luta entre os seus aspectos revelados e o limbo em que eles se perdem e ampliam até à suprema distância imaginável; uma luta entre a realidade e o sonho, a Carne e o Verbo.
