Human Abstract

Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody poor,
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.

And mutual fear brings Peace,
Till the selfish loves increase;
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head,
And the caterpillar and fly
Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat,
And the raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The gods of the earth and sea
Sought through nature to find this tree,
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the human Brain.

William Blake

Pretextos para fugir do real

A uma luz perigosa como água
De sonho e assalto
Subindo ao teu corpo real
Recordo-te
E és a mesma
Ternura quase impossível
De suportar

Por isso fecho os olhos

(O amor faz-me recuperar incessantemente o poder da provocação. É assimque te faço arder triunfalmente onde e quando quero. Basta-me fechar os olhos)

Por isso fecho os olhos
E convido a noite para a minha cama
Convido-a a tornar-se tocante
Familiar concreta
Como um corpo decifrado de mulher

E sob a fonte desejada
A noite deita-se comigo
E é a tua ausência
Nua nos meus braços

*

Experimento um grito
Contra o teu silêncio

Experimento um silêncio

Entro e saio
De mãos pálidas nos bolsos

Assobio às pequenas esperanças
Que vêm lamber-me os dedos
Perco-me no teu retrato

Horas seguidas

E ao trote do ciúme deito contas
Deito contas à vida.

Alexandre O´Neill

nada de mais irresistível do que
um homem corando

apetece logo beber-lhe a cor

comer-lhe a face

esfacelar-lhe o rosto

concentrar-lhe o sangue onde

deus em pessoa abocanha

Bénédicte Houart

Life Wasted

You're always saying that there's something wrong
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along
Death came around, forced to hear its song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on

Seen the home inside your head
All locked doors and unmade beds

Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
I have tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?

You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?
heheheh...

I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
I have tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
oh i erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Think You Know

Goin' home
can't escape
it won't break

No harm
is worth
what I can't take

So you think you know
think you know the way
So you think you know
think you know my shame

Even though I
still care for you
Its not half of
all I could do

So, so you think you know
think you know my ways
So, so you think you know
think you know my shame

Now it's late
I'm not afraid
to let you know

I'm hurt
to burn
to let it show

Rivers come and
Rivers go
Straight from my hell
to my aching soul

So, so you think you know
think you know the way
So, so you think you know
think you know my shame

Even though I
still care for you
It's not all I
could ever do for you

Just so, just so you know
Just so, just so you know
Just so, just so you know
Just so

Djali Zwan - 'Think You Know'

I Don't Want to Fall In Love

I would like to tell you, I would like to say

That I knew that this would happen

That things would go this way

But I cannot deceive you, this was never planned

I know that you're the right girl but do you think that I am the right man?

1...2...3...4,5,6,7,

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(but I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna)

You say it's not a problem,

You say it's meant to be

But love is not an option, our love is never free

And things are not so easy, so cold and we've been burned

I know that I'll have regrets but that's the price of one more lesson learned

1..2..3...4,5,6,7,

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(but I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Too late, so deep, better run cause

(I don't wanna fall in love)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet

(But I don't wanna fall in love)

Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight

(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
