Fanatismo

Minh’alma, de sonhar-te, anda perdida
Meus olhos andam cegos de te ver
Não és sequer a razão do meu viver,
Pois que tu és já toda a minha vida!

Não vejo nada assim enlouquecida...
Passo no mundo, meu Amor, a ler
No misterioso livro do teu ser
A mesma história tantas vezes lida

Tudo no mundo é frágil, tudo passa...
Quando me dizem isto, toda a graça
Duma boca divina fala em mim!

E, olhos postos em ti, digo de rastros:
"Ah ! Podem voar mundos, morrer astros,
Que tu és como Deus : Princípio e Fim!"

Florbela Spanca (Livro de Soror Saudade (1923))

Message for me... and I need to believe...


I believe everything happens for a reason.
People change so you can learn to let go.
Things go wrong so that you can appreciate then when they're right.
You believe lies so that you will eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.
And, sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

What you have to decide is how you want your life to be.
If you forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it?
Listen, the truth is nothing is guaranteed.
You know that more than anybody. So, don't be afraid. Be alive.

But sometimes we are so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs.
How to tell from the ones who want and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave.
And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on you own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future.
Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on.

I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I have learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, talking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going happen next.

Delicious Ambiguity.

No, I didn't still forget. There are things that we didn't forget...

Warwick Avenue (Duffy)




















When I get to Warwick Avenue
Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over little time
But promise me you wont stand by the light

When I get to Warwick Avenue
Please draw the past and be true
Don’t say we’re okay
Just because I’m here
You hurt me bad but I wont shed a tear

I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
Outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue
We’ll spend an hour but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you answers, now here’s the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue
I’ll tell baby there we’re through

Cause I’m leaving you for the last time baby
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
And I’ve been confused
An outta my mind lately
You think you’re loving,
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me.

All the days spent together
I wish for better,
And I didn’t want the train to come
Now it’s departed, I’m broken hearted
Seems like we never started
All those days spent together
When I wished for better
And I didn’t want the train to come.
No, no.

You think you’re loving
But you don’t love me
I want to be free, baby
You’ve hurt me
You don’t love me
I want to be free
Baby you’ve hurt me
