my lovely one,
so my dandelion
always swaying to the rhythm of wind
so delicate, yet holding yourself whole
hard love, gentle touch, still you slip away
you were meant to be adored from a distance
oh my dandelion, how mystical you are
you were made for wild skies
born to be held,
but too fragile for the ghost of touch
from early spring’s bloom to the hush of your final stage
your tiny little floating parachutes, too tired to chase
i have no vase for something like you
my lovely dandelion, fading into the years
sleeping to the scent of long stemmed roses
Trying is succeeding.
I have seen that by not giving up I have tested my limits and overcame challenges I never thought I could. This can happen in many different contexts, like learning a skill while feeling that there's no point because others are so much better. Let's stop looking at others and appreciate our own journey. It is the path that counts the most.
Salvem  O Douro

Nas fragas onde o sol esbate sorrateiro,
a vinha no Douro sempre banhada primeiro.
Os velhos ficam
porque já não podem partir.
As mães reformadas
cuidam das vinhas com amor e sentir.

E o Douro, esse colosso de xisto e sonho,
fica para trás abandonado,
sem herdeiros, sem futuro,  com passado. A coruja-das-torres, que vigia os socalcos mal amados.
A borboleta rara, que pousa nas folhas do Viosinho para termos bons vinhos,
A lavanda brava, que perfuma os nossos caminhos.
Salvem o Douro para remissão dos vossos pecados.

Ai  o rio, que ainda canta, mesmo quando ninguém o ouve  está sozinho.
Canta suavemente o pintassilgo nobre passarinho.
O saber antigo, que não cabe em manuais escritos,
As cantigas de encosta, que nossas mães cantam com penosos gritos.

Salvem o Douro com encanto e nobreza,
Este meu Douro é verso, certeza,
Não deixem meu Douro desaparecer,
Nem ser fúnebre velório ao Entardecer.

Living a life of lies
Through someone else's eyes
Everything
we had built
over the years
just scattered
in the wind.
Our blood, sweat and tears
gone without a trace.
All for nothing.
You were a dog trainer
I was a wolf-
Yet you were shocked I bit you
And I had the audacity to whimper when you ran
The word
"drug"
has
YOU
in
it
In the midst of a connected world, I found myself addicted to a new drug that makes me disconnect from the digital realm and connect with a nostalgic feeling, a human, one... I am a feeling ******
