Nothing to do...Just keep writing...My gift and Curse

GIVING UP

Steps catch up with me
I turn around
But it’s not you who I see

My hands tremble
My heartbeats run amok
My voice quivers
And I can barely stand the shock

The thing beckons me to come closer
I pray in silence ‘till the moment is over

With a blink of an eye
Finally I realize
It’s my own demise
Cold as ice

So I obey
There’s no point in running away
There’s nothing left to say
Since you were the one who turned me away

I accept the cold hands of death
And suddenly sigh at my last breath
Oh God, I beg of you, gimmie rest
Because my tombstone is already set

Waiting for my body and soul
To crumble in the desert





LIFE’S FASCINATION

Why you try to survive, if you’ll inevitably die?
Is there any path to salvation through damnation?

When the passion starts?
When does it end?
When the light in your eyes sparks?
When your body burst in flames?

When the eternal shining will reveal
Something that can keep my faith still?

What restrains you, what binds you
If not the bitter sweetness of this nonsense?
Is it a solution finding bliss in ignorance?

Life also get rid of the innocents
So let’s stay imprudents
And later pay the consequences

There’s pain, there’s pleasure
Seize all life’s treasures

Cause those in the end
Are just stains left in a statue

Imagine the grieving of our bones
Desperate to heal its wounds
Once covered by human flesh
Now embraced by death
And enlaced by the pest

We bled, we fed
In the end there’s nothing left
We can search for God and start to beg
Cause there’s no way out of this endless mess
How come I must know
Where the obsession needs to go?
How come I must know
Where to find redemption in this dark world?
I wanna live
I wanna cry
I want to be released
I don’t want to die
When will I ever be cured?
Of this damned infatuation with life?


Unbelievable...My second post of 2009...More babbling, no inspiration!
These two above suck!

Momentous

Now I quietly left my stone cave I think I feel a bit less heartsick I do not scare myself anymore I have grown out of my hardships I look at the sun instead of the moon I won over defeat with a hard kick I smile even when my lips quiver I learnt to endure and slowly resist I chose writing instead of weeping I challenged depression warships I move on with my brand new cloak I now wear heavy layers of lordship My hands are made of unbreakable steel Though surrounded by trembling thunders I often manage to stay firm on my heels Tomorrow I might even be six feet under I am constantly preparing my last meal My mind no longer frets or slumber At any second, I might face life’s ordeals Each joy and adventure I shall plunder I now control both struggle and repeal Lately I am eager to satisfy a hunger That once made me suffer and squeal Yesterday I was prey, now I am hunter Behold the one and only taking the wheel My fists can make ...

"Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying?"

Image
Foreverafter Dammed be eternity Which cursed and sentenced my eyes to witness the lives of those whom I love, be reduced to dust I watch them born, I behold them die I wait as they grow up and also grow old I see their flaws, see they work them out I observe their passions, laugh when they fall hard I appreciate their growing light, their cheerful enthusiasm Their foolish dreams, their uncertain paths Their worthless greed and senseless wars Their pitiful regret and countless faults I respect their obsessions, their hunger for possessions Their fear of damnation and unstoppable seek for salvation I understand their pain, I mourn for their losses I listen to their whims, rejoice with their noises I grieve for their bad deeds, when they burn alive the seas Then they amaze me again, with their charm and impeccable smile But then later I inevitably cry for a while, when they infallibly start to run out of time.

Eternal

Cântico VI Canticle VI Tu tens um medo: You have one single fear: Acabar. To perish. Não vês que acaba todo o dia. You do not realize you’re fading everyday. Que morres no amor. That you’re expiring in love. Na tristeza. In sadness. Na dúvida. In doubt. No desejo. In longing. Que te renovas todo o dia. That you reinvent yourself every day. No amor. In Love. Na tristeza. In sorrow. Na dúvida. In uncertainness. No desejo. In wishfulness. Que és sempre outro. That you’re always another . Que és sempre o mesmo. That you’re always the same. Que morrerás por idades imensas. That you’ll die by great lifetimes . Até não teres medo de morrer. Till you’re not afraid of dying. E então serás eterno. And thus you shall be eternal. POEM BY Cecília Meireles TRANSLATION BY TheHeartless I had to post this, it's still better than throwing it away. Meireles is awesome, her poems have soul, so I couldn't avoid translating her stuf...
