it’s hard to breathe today
hard to move
get up
just get up
one foot
another
another
just get up
you can do it
you can

living next the sea you get so much more than sunup and sun down
you get Moon tides, daily tides, low tides, high tides, tides life rides and tides that deposit the dead.

"drop your weapons,
don't leave the discourse"


well, I've thought about it when nobody's here
my hands cannot cover these shiny tears
our hearts cut in half,
my wings plastered and sore
from falling into the depth
of broken silicon.

my mind might be rotten
but I'm elegantly withering
like a burning chauffeur
in the middle of the autumn,
and will be absolutely unforgotten.

Every funeral brings you to your senses
speaks to you of your own mortality
wakes you up and confronts your apathy
applies the balm of truth to all fantasy.

Enjoy life to the fullest
Set some thoughts for tomorrow
Then live out the rest today

a number of days and counting
till im sent off to war
fought between ink stains and forgotten words
and I’m standing at your door
to ask for one more
under blazing stars and supernovas
with our fingers intertwined
and your laugh on my lips

in this
i am remembering
what the truth is
within beginning

In the moment
everything is fleeting
and while a flame unfolds
from my frozen hands
a glimpse of  
a shimmer of
the end
rises with the horizon

yet you turn with a smile
greeting the morning
giving me the footsteps
of your becoming
leaving me
one last promise



and so i remained
waiting for your return
but then I realized
my obsession with beginnings
stems from the fear
that all i am comprised of
is endings

and so
i am letting go of the idea
that i must be empty
to be filled

Mama always said
‘Be careful around the men
that carry the sun in their smiles.
They’ll ask for your love
Tell you you’re sent from heaven above
And in exchange  
They’ll leave you estranged’
I never believed her words
My love was mine and mine alone
Then I met a poet
With soft eyes
And the sun in his smile
He told me of his love
That I was sent from heaven above
And now in exchange
My tears fall in his name

i watched your hair grey
before i learned your mother tongue

you were filled with all the warmth of the brazilian sun
but i can't form the words to tell you that

eu espero que vocé me perdoe
my stupid keyboard put the wrong accent over the e in 'voce' which is ironic. it would be funny if i wasn't so sad.

i miss you, maria </3
