A cidade queimada

That's me in the corner

THE FLAMES ARE ALL LONG GONE BUT THE PAIN LINGERS ON

Migalhas

I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double sided 'cause I ruined it all
But also saved myself by never believing you dear



Oh sailor why'd you do it,

What'd you do that for?

Quem sou eu?

O poeta

For Anne

With Anne gone,
whose eyes to compare
with the morning sun?

Not that I did compare,
But I do compare
Now that she's gone.


Leonard Cohen (n.1934)

Is there anybody out there?

"Mas devo dizer que não vou-lhe dar,

o enorme prazer de me ver chorar"

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh..."

Jack Kerouac (1922-1969)

FUCKIN'UP

"There'll be times

When my crimes

Will seem almost unforgivable

I give in to sin

Because you have to make this life liveable

There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove,

Strange highs and strange lows "

Strangelove, Depeche Mode

"Quanto mais vou sabendo de ti, mais gostaria que ainda estivesses viva. Só dois ou três minutos: o suficiente para te matar. Merecias uma morte mais violenta. Se eu soubesse, não te tinha deixado suicidar com aquelas mariquices todas. Aposto que não sentiste quase nada. Não está certo. Eu não morri e sofri mais do que tu.(...)"

Miguel Esteves Cardoso in O amor é fodido

I wish I could tell you

...

Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm back in the rain
And you're on dry land
You made it there somehow
You're a big girl now.

Bird on the horizon sitting on the fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Singing just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears.

Time is a jet plane it moves too fast
Oh but what a shame that all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear
See what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too.

Love is so simple to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time I'm learning it these days
Oh I know where I can find you
In somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream ?
I'm going out of my mind
With a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.

I know that place
