it's a secret
they don’t know but
I keep a secret very well hidden
It’s right here, look
cast in my eyes
or
in every flat note of my voice
and
furthermore
in every heart pulse of mine
it’s actually bare, most of the time
as it’s so obvious how stars come out of my eyes
and melodies are always on my lips
and
for my heart,
oh my heart
it beats, so many beats per minute
and
i can’ tell no one that
(i will tell no one that)
that light shining through my bedroom window
- so bright -
the underscoring of life,
the music score of love,
is you.
Clapham at night time, lights wash the pretzel store, and - we're still there, my love

girl knitting on the train
tiny freckles leaning towards to
two knit needles plaiting, as one
she picks, laces - picks, laces -
and sheds one loop,
two knit needles plaiting, as one
she picks, laces - picks, laces -
and sheds one loop,
the wool yarn gets tangled up
girl, please - pull, unravel it -
quick,
the winter is coming soon
girl, please - pull, unravel it -
quick,
the winter is coming soon
girl knitting in front of me, and
I wish we were on those two needles
being bond for the cold.

this being autumn - he said -
you can either cry for the falling leaves,
or treasure how beautifully they dress the sidewalks

in little things around us,
or in how destiny challenges us everyday

here might be unfortunate

but
you can always run
there,
where you know you're always expected,
as long as what you expect
is there.

if i tell you this:
there’s no light without you, so
i need you
i need you
or
instead i let go that

it’s never dark when you’re around, and
gladiolus and roses blossom,
butterflies dance around my skylights
and
night is never enough for us,
for both,
my love

what would you rather listen to,
my ego
my heart
my soul
or my love for you, my darling?

reflexions
saturday afternoon in Oxford:
the sun,
illuminating all our steps
the past,
the present, and
that red ivy you embraced
illuminating all our steps
the past,
the present, and
that red ivy you embraced
i,
holding you tight and telling you softly
"close your eyes and pretend you’re here, but
many and many years ago, in a different century"
holding you tight and telling you softly
"close your eyes and pretend you’re here, but
many and many years ago, in a different century"
and you
(yes, i could tell - you)
and me,
we both
travelled in time
we almost kissed in a different era
listening to others footsteps,
(yes, i could tell - you)
and me,
we both
travelled in time
we almost kissed in a different era
listening to others footsteps,
saturday afternoon in Oxford, and
i could see you everywhere
i could see you everywhere
with me,
inside me
and tomorrow.
inside me

peckam pub
the kid playing pool with his grandfather
jumps and hops over the table,
tries to sink the yellow balls, but
he misses them all
- so his granddad follows his dance.
as i'm drinking alone and writing
gentleman come to offer me wine,
ask if my leopard shoes bite, and
i smile, and
i grin, and
i laugh!
the youth ones drink stouts and play darts, but
who cares?
i keep my attention on the gold generation
because,
there's nothing wrong
in helping a young man win,
and
there's nothing wrong
in keeping an old man's hope,
- so i follow their dance.

sun rays
I want your lips on my lips, and
your legs around my neck,
I want your teeth biting my nipples, and
your sex filling my mouth,
and then
I'll want coffee - with you - every morning, and
the sun rays sweeping our bed,
and
the clock announcing a time out
(but)
not for long, darling, not to worry
as I was meant to love you
every day, and
every night.

there
Under the duvet
i am still leaning on you
You,
gently roaming around
my waistline
I,
scenting new inches of your collar
And then I, telling
i need to get up
i need to get up
And you, asking
can I play
you a song
Suddenly
dripping from the skylights,
the world
drops in so odd, and
in tiny drops - so spare
and
so unnecessary -
so unnecessary -
I,
want to hold your hand in that golden field
lay on the ground and stare at the blue sky
listen to the wind, playing with the hays,
and name all the clouds that pass above us
And then I,
will ask you to move inside me
and live within myself foreverquarta-feira, setembro 30

talvez um dia eu consiga explicar-te
que de todas as coisas particulares,
há aquelas que permanecem:
o sol
a bater nos teus ombros
suave e docemente,
o teu sorriso
enquanto pergunto
se posso beijar-te,
os teus lábios,
infinito íman de carne em chama
e abismo,
de onde sempre me lanço
em queda livre, pelo teu corpo
pele na tua pele
infinito no teu infinito.
lá fora, há uma lua
que de tão cheia se prepara para entornar ternura.
