ventos da ria

swirling histories collide
twixt
mist
and
stone



a thousand souls
wander
below,
seeking purchase
in dreams, hoping
to return...
to return to,
what never will be



so perhaps
my dear,
we shall meet anon,
ere the moon escapes
us
once more

O verão em Navais

O verão em Navais

O vento sopra
fortemente
e o verão escorrega para fora.
real, só porque de um fio de memória
de uns dias com algumas libélulas –
e um, com um pirilampo também

Nestes tempos nao estao certezas
mas ainda
ha milagres
entre os momentos,
e movimentos
dos nossas vidas.
momentos de paz
momentos,
quando o futura não está a vir.

Enviando um abraco,
e espero que encontrares um,
ou dois,
momentos como isto.

summer passes, and other things too….

dragonfly
blows dry the morning
dew,
wings a-buzz
with the thick call of summer.


swallow
slips graceful
o’er cool evening breeze
through sunlit shimmer,
to slice
the corners of the wind.


and here,
twixt verdant moments
we wait patiently
for yesterday

moon fire

becalmed
amongst a sea of starlight,
expectant souls whisper
and wonder
at Her stolen glory,
as she casts cold comfort upon
the hopeful and weary.


and here,
where dreams seek
succour from the dreamer,
and magic
bows low
to the profanity of the night,
i kneel
and burn
in her cool indifference.

pull and push

surging in
retreat,
we build
to tear down.


bathed in the reflective calm of starfire,
moonlight sets
souls ablaze
with a cool phantom touch.


simplicity holds
infinite fascination,

so slight in
its profundity

that these realized moments
echo eternity,

revealing a truth obscured
by love's light.






and so we grow.


dawn showers

the depth of meaning found
within the splat,
pitter, plat,
pat of rain falling in the town,
slipped away so long ago.


profound truths lost to selfish wanderings.


a soul set adrift:
free
to forge his way alone.

free
to love universal.

free
from you,
and from me.


and the sounds of the rain fade back into the night.


in that vast silence

he finds solace in solitude.

he finds himself once again
free

to face the returning storm.
