“Se ao menos soubesses tudo o que eu não disse
ou se ao menos me desses as mãos como quem beija
e não partisses, assim, empurrando o vento
com o coração aflito, sufocado de segredos;
se ao menos percebesses que eram nossos
todos os bancos de todos os jardins;
se ao menos guardasses nos teus gestos essa bandeira de lirismo
que ambos empunhamos na cidade clandestina
Quando as manhãs cheiravam a óleo e a flores...
e o inverno espreitava ainda nas esquinas como uma criança tremendo;
se ao menos tivesses levado as minhas mãos para tocar os teus dedos
para guardar o teu corpo;
se ao menos tivesses quebrado o riso frio dos espelhos
onde o teu rosto se esconde no meu rosto
e a minha boca lembra a tua despedida,
talvez que, hoje, meu amor, eu pudesse esquecer
essa cor perdida nos teus olhos.”
Joaquim Pessoa

Live fast. Die Young. Be Wild. And Have Fun.

I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not a very popular one, who once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events, saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again sparkling and broken. But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living, they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no idea what it’s like to seek safety in other people, for home to be wherever you lie your hea...

Call me by you name

“You two had a beautiful friendship. Maybe more than a friendship. And I envy you. In my place, most parents would wish the whole thing go away… And pray their sons land on their feet. But… I am not such a parent.” We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything — what a waste! Have I spoken too much? Then let me say one more thing. It’ll clear the air. I may have come close, but I never had what you two have. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business, just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there’s sorrow, pain. Don’t kill it and with it the joy you’ve felt.”

Metade da minha vida

-
Hoje despedi-me de algo tão próximo que era metade de mim, algo que era tão meu que ficou um eco no fundo do meu peito. Um bocadinho tão especial que parte da minha vida ficou irremediavelmente mais vulgar.  Poucas coisas nos acompanham metade das nossas vidas, e poucas nos custam tanto perder.  Sei que esperam por ti no fundo do melhor dos arco-íris e sei quem espera por ti lá também. Manda um beijinho nosso e o maior dos abraços. Até já.
