Moon's homage


The death of the sun: Moonrise

The night is beautiful

The night is quiet

Though my heart is willful

Thirsty for fire

I cried out for angels

I wept rivers of blood

I learned the demons’ language

I lost sight of hope

The night is lovely

Tonight is overly fresh

I miss the glint of lust

I already knew it couldn’t last

Those feelings of disgust

Never failed to make me crash

I climb the walls of woe

I hum the hymn of rejects

Despair is under my skin

Still I beg and fight for release

But darkness now has gone too deep

For such agony and pain there’s no leash

Another star shines up there as I quickly flinch

The night is rightful, the night is dashing

But my hands are sweaty

And these fists are weary

Trembling, I face the roaring scarlet moon

Reflected in my blacked iris I bathe in my doom

I treaded on demise, drank some wine and paced the room

Looking for a long forgotten reason which could not bloom

The night is gorgeous, this one is jealous

Of my malign dormant wrath

Of the dreams I used to treasure

I thought of speaking to the almighty God

I kneeled on boiling stones to lessen the blues

But tonight is the night I don’t mean to go through

The night is silent, the night is faithful

But there’s no light lurking the darkness

And all the somber tunes are dreadful

Clouds never been this heavy

Love’s never been so tragic

So tell me why I shall linger here

When all things became so messy?

The sky is incredibly vast

The blazing rain is coming soon

I must go wear my mourning vest

Before I hear the hell’s bells drum

Strange foam has risen

White smoke fills the daunting air

As the wicked owls quite delighted

Fly into their ominous lairs

The night is charming, the night is soothing

I suddenly smell the scent of burnt flesh

And I can’t keep my legs from running

From the terrible terrors I don’t expect

I fear the motherly power of nature

I need to absorb the suspense no more

Enraptured by a memory of failure

I’ve never felt so tiny before

Some curse is working, a disease is spreading

Remorseful words can’t keep you from moping

No one knows where sorrow is heading

My fragile limbs are frozen

My wavering mind is a well of regret

Yet the hours move slowly

Forcing me to see what’s not there

Tonight is ending

And I don’t know when

I’ll be able to see the moon again

Or reach out for some grace there

I’m fading away, going nowhere

While the moon still stands nonchalant

With a stoic severe glare

The night holds a mystery

I dare not to disobey

I’m vanishing, without a cure

Without a moonlit care.

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...
