The birds drink water
From middle class families' pools
alienobserver Nov 2014
It's early morning
And the maid hasn't even arrived yet
Your morning breath
And my tired eyes staring back
At your final seconds of sleep
We get up, speechlessly
I start to make my morning tea
And you pour sugar in it for me
It tastes like the colour of your skin
I don't even shiver anymore
You're the heat inside my lungs
And the golden tones of my rising suns
The touch of your voice in my ears
Makes me feel like I'm melting fears
And I have never felt so safe
By looking into one's eyes and say:
"You're my entire solar system"

last night I had a dream,
not exactly a dream,
but more of a memory

I could feel the soft sand between my toes
And the salty wind colliding with my face

The way Cecilia talked to me
Was like waves against the rocks
Or like rain in a summer day
The sun setting upon us caused me chills
I will always be floating with her in the sea

Only the gods know
How well I used to write
How well I would describe
The way she looked at me:
The same way stars shine the brightest
Before they collapse

After cleaning all the tears,
And trying to remember
All the tacky tips of behavior,
I still feel like crying again.

My heart aches
And so does my head,
Everytime I get to face
All the faces I used to trust.

I still feel like crying again,
And again, and again, and again,
To a point in which all my soul
Is out through my eyes.

I speak and I regret of doing it.
The words turn the feeling heavier.
It´s harder to write, to let it out,
So I won´t.

I am sad.
That´s a fact and I can´t deny it.
I tried to change and I failed,
So I´m changing again.

No one knows that I am sad.
No one will.

Is it really that bad
To not actually
Feel anything?
Because those tiny verses
Still express a lot
That comes within
And I still remember
The chair you used to sit
And I still remember
How disengaged I used to be
I feel like that chair and I
Have a lot in common
We are both empty
After you left.

I threw up the skies
And inhaled the stars
All that with a half-full bottle
And an indescribable nausea

This time,
The moon was the embarrassed one:
Didn't glow neither looked at me
I guess that was why
She was just so shy

I apologized
Under a scalding sun
Of a broken saturday
I will always be the only drunk in that night.

I woke up feeling brilliant
My country is embarrassing
I don't wanna speak portuguese
I wanna paint my body
And throw myself into things

The white walls of the museums
I had never visited
Invite me to show my useless
And pointless opinions

I feel like capturing the colors
Capturing tones and movements
Look inside my eyes and tell me
Something I haven't felt yet
I don't feel and that's just embarrassing

I'm afraid to touch in public
My secret is written in bold on my forehead
Three days before the full moon
I gave myself the luxury to not belong
Into this sensitive world of yours

There's a whole charm in a victorious gaze
And an entire chaos in the hair blown in the wind
You can't feel jealousy in a relationship
When I only think about you all the time
I spread all the clues in the hallways
And in my old laughters of last year
But you can't read them

**You don't have the guts to see them
I've been away for too long, sorry.

I have to obliterate
This antichrist
That's always tempting me
alienobserver May 2014
Sorry, I think I had a deja vú
I could swear I had looked
Deep inside your eyes

The sun burns my skin
I wish things were different

I´ve never felt this way,
Dying all the time,
Bottling up my sorrow
So I wouldn´t cry everywhere.

Putting my head up,
To avoid the tears from overflowing
My eyes, which didn´t open
Everytime I left my house.

Holding my breath,
So I could turn invisible
To anyone and everyone,
Everywhere I´d go.

I´ve never felt this way,
It´s made me feel like
Going back home.

She has pictures of dead flowers
In hidden sanctuaries
Located in the depths of her soul.
That´s where my love lies,
Sleepy and peaceful.

Please don´t leave me.

Sometimes I wanna die
But then I remember all the movies
Series, music, visual arts, people
I haven't met yet

The coke bottles on the weekends
The iced teas before classes
The energy drinks at 2 a.m.
I know I'm made of water
My organs, my tissues
My voice is a liquid
Which evaporates in my throat
That flows away through my eyes, my ears
I can dissolve so easily
But I can also turn rigid, hard
Disguised in a solid state, icy

The rapids fall
In the depths of the night
By myself, I turn into the purest fountain

(portuguese translation)

Às vezes dá vontade de morrer
Daí me lembro dos filmes
Das séries, músicas,
Artes visuais,
Pessoas
Que eu ainda preciso conhecer

A coca-cola dos fins de semana
Os chás gelados antes das aulas
Os energéticos às 2 da manhã
Eu sei que eu sou de água
Meus órgãos, meus tecidos
A minha voz é um líquido
Que evapora na garganta
Que sai nos olhos, nos ouvidos
Me desfaço tão fácil
Mas também me torno rígido, gélido
Me desfarço de sólido

Cachoeiras caem
Nas profundezas da noite
Sozinho, sou a fonte mais pura
I'm not sure if this is actually good

I'm eating until I feel whole again
The joy of being unconscious
Has jumped right out of my chest
And it hurts like I've dreamt of falling
And the space you had once occupied
In my heart became flowers
You could have been the first wave
The salt that burns the skin
The grains of sand hurting my face
I miss the sun in the mornings
And the warmth of the touches
And who am I trying to fool?
I haven't been eating for days
I became my own meals
Yet I starve for the stars and the universe
For the green in the grass and the blue
In the twilights
I starve for you
Attempting to write the void away :)

You thought I couldn't see you
Hiding on the other side of the window
Catching my breath
Through the curtains
It's in the air
Green eyes looking for me
Stop thinking and act as you feel
Through the glass and the uncoloured
I still sit at the table
I still drink black coffee
I still look back at the invisible
I still bite my tongue
Your hands and your flesh
There used to be something inside
You don't have to say my name
I understand
Sorry for the long time offline.
alienobserver May 2014
Look deep inside my eyes
And tell me what you want
Because I can´t play games
When my heart is always losing

We all know how tacky this is
I´m unable to fight
When the only thing I want
Is your lips kissing mine.

I think I'm starting to get
The reaction of our bodies to the rain
The way our fingerprints seem to change
When there's no light to understand
What's really good or just a sin
How easy it is to write in other tongue
To spit your feelings in sentences
That don't belong to your mouth
Nor to your bones
Read what I feel not in words
Read me for I am another soul
Trapped in a foreign body
alienobserver May 2014
I don’t know anyone here
And I don´t feel like trying to.
Although it hurts,
I´d rather stay that way.

I´d rather stay alone,
Than meeting someone
Who will be a trouble
To me anyway.

I´m so sorry.

I wish I was a plant,
So I would be sad for long,
As long as I´d like to,
Because I can´t pretend it anymore.

I wish I was a plant,
Then I could just pass days
Without eating and no one
Would actually care about it.

I had asked my grandma
If I could take care of her plants
After she passes away,
But they were already dead.
alienobserver May 2014
I look up to the clouds
In remembrance of you,
That was never around
When I most needed.

The only heat I know
It´s the one from the sun.
The only scent I smell
It´s the one from the rain.

I look down to the grass,
Wondering why it looks so alive,
When the absence of rain
Should make them die.

When between us used to exist
only a certain letter
the full correspondence
the train
the rails
the open window
a certain landscape
without rocks or
troughs
my high heels
in equilibrium
the cup of water
waiting for the coffee
this is from Ana C.
I don't own this
I just enjoy her poetry
