A game of feelings and decisions: that is what life is
You came along to sweep me off my feet
Helped me dream again amidst my nightmares
Your mere presence is enough to make me remember I can live again
And keep on living
Memories of a grand future expectation
Shattered in a million pieces by whom deserved nothing but pitty
My skin feels the heat running through my veins
My lungs cannot accept the air I breathe
Sending bursts of excitement to my body
Your eyes pierce through mine
Revealing your beautiful face
Kill me with your hands running through my naked body
Look inside my eyes and smile
Take me and walk me through your dreams
Kiss my open mouth
Feel my tongue touching yours
Let your spirit enter my body
And make me fly like an angel
Lift me up
Listen to the sound of the sun
And sing to the silence of your shadow

Dark and Red as Blood
There are not enough stars in the sky that could cry with me and make me feel better. Once the decision settled down in my mind, it hurt like fire burning your skin. Panic altered my breathing and put me in a closed and dark box. A low voice was singing in my head telling me what to do, but it did not register. It feels horrible that I cannot just make a quick decision and move on with my life.
Your face won't leave my head, but rage comes along to open my eyes and show me the reality. My life has become a burden to me. My fantasies aided me in believing everything was normal and I lived in a perfect world. The walls I built myself are now being crashed down and revealing the cold and dark world I actually live in. Somebody needs to rescue me from myself and show me the reality. I must wake up from my dreams and open my eyes to the unseen.
Living like a prisoner has become normal and who holds me captive is myself only. Obviously there is someone singing in my ear and persuading me to stay. But on the other side there is another song I must follow.
Please help me! Please rescue me! Please save from myself! One step is all it takes. It is definitely the most difficult one, but not impossible to the human being, not impossible to me!
The world I live in is filled with blood. Red is the only color my eyes can see. Pain is the only thing my heart can feel. Could I ever love myself?

Love and Passion
"Only unfulfilled love can be romantic."
What is love? How different is it from passion?
I am not the very right person to define it. The reason being I can't precisely distinguish between them both. However, analyzing my very short life experience, here is what I have discovered: passion is what you feel when you prioritize that person, when you hold her in the utmost regard, when you admire and respect effortlessly, when you want to share every minute of your day with, when you are glad only to see a smile, when your soul and mind are inspired, when your eyes sparkle while talking about her...
Is that temporary, though? Is that supposed to go away when you love? If what I hear from the elders is right, then the answer is yes. Love becomes an obligation to try and carry on feelings you no longer have. It becomes a heavy load, a burden that only makes you want to rid yourself of. As somebody once said: love is a paradox for it implies in suffering indeed.
On the other hand, nevertheless, if you fall in love and, for some reason, it is not reciprocal, that is exactly when most people will try their hardest to accomplish it. Or when passion exists, but the obstinate human mind perceives it as not flourishing and insists on dissipating the feeling. Or even when love is strong, but all circumstances make it unreachable. That is precisely what unfulfilled love is. And the impossibility of achieving the perfectness of that idealized love makes it romantic!
So is love an illusion? But not passion? Or both of them are?
There is only one element that is factual and materialized through all of the above instances: sexual pleasure. For it does not exist without existent feelings. It is said that to be romantic you must emphasize love over libido. However if neither love nor passion can be fulfilled in order to to be romantic, then I shall enjoy every second of the fantasy, knowing it might soon evaporate into memories.

"Somente amor não realizado pode ser romântico."
O que é o amor? É a mesma coisa que paixão?
Não sou a pessoa mais apropriada para definí-lo. E o motivo é que não consigo distinguir precisamente entre os dois. Contudo, analisando minha pequeníssima experiência pessoal, isto é que descobri: paixão é o que você sente quando você prioriza aquela pessoa, quando você a coloca no patamar máximo de respeito, quando você a admira e considera sem grandes esforços, quando você compartilha cada minuto do seu dia, quando você fica satisfeito por ter um sorriso, quando sua mente e alma são inspiradas, quando seus olhos brilham ao falar sobre ela...
Mas isso tudo é temporário? Isso tudo desaparece quando você ama? Se o que eu ouço dos mais experientes é verdade, então a resposta é sim. O amor se torna uma obrigação de continuar amando quando já não existem mais sentimentos. Se torna um fardo que te encoraja a se livrar dele. Assim alguém um dia disse: o amor é um paradoxo pois significa sofrimento.
Em contrapartida, todavia, se você se apaixona e, por qualquer razão, não é recíproco, é neste exato momento que a maioria das pessoas farão de tudo para realizá-lo. Ou quando a paixão existe, mas a mente humana teimosa entende que não será próspero e insiste em dissipar o sentimento que existe. Ou mesmo quando a paixão é forte mas todas as circunstâncias fazem com que ele se torne inalcancável. Isso é justamente no que se traduz o amor não realizado. E a impossibilidade de alcançar a perfeição idealizada faz com que ele seja romântico.
Então o amor é uma ilusão? Mas não a paixão? Ou ambos são?
Só há um elemento que é concreto e materializado através do citado acima: prazer sexual. Pois ele não existe se não houver sentimentos. É comumente falado que para ser romântico você deve enfatizar o amor em vez de libido. Entretanto se nem amor nem paixão devem ser realizados para serem românticos, aí desfrutarei cada segundo da fantasia criada, sabendo que ela poderá evaporar em memórias a qualquer momento.

Burning Eyes
Playing rationally and thinking what my rational thoughts told me to: acceptable behavior. My heart and soul, however, shout out: I cannot stop fantasizing about you. Only the thought of touching your body again gets me wet. It is exciting to remember that first look, that first kiss, that first touch. Your lips were so soft and warm, and you held me so firmly near your body. I wanted and still want you. Pushing me against the wall and kissing me again. Slowly taking my clothes off. Calling my name while on top of me, while fucking me. It was like meditating through a song of Lana Del Rey. It gives me butterflies. Being in love with you is a paradigm; it is engraved in my being. So gentle and passionate. Hold me again. Touch me again. Dreams will continue to be my companion.

Dark Paradise
Fecho meus olhos e vejo o indefinido: paraíso de lágrimas e sorrisos.
Fecho meus olhos e vejo a escuridão: paraíso de corpos insensatos.
Fecho meus olhos e vejo o vazio: paraíso de sentimentos esquecidos.
Meus dedos se entrelaçam com o vento, buscando o fio que me salvará de mim mesma. Memórias perfuram meus olhos e trazem a escassez ao meu ser. Sonhos realizados e frustrados. As correntes que me prendem são imaginárias, mas controlam minha força.
O vazio é mais atraente. A ausência toma conta de mim. Se pelo menos eu soubesse onde cortar, me tornaria um ser invisível pairando sobre as mentes dos que me laceraram.
Não há alguém sequer esperando por mim do outro lado. Nasci da solidão e morrerei nela. É uma vida que não existe materialmente, somente em minha imaginação. Sobrevivo de ideais. O amor é imaginário e passeia pela minha mente. É melhor abrir os olhos e perceber que a felicidade idealizada é inalcançálvel. Era cega mas agora vejo. Continuarei vivendo sem esperanças, apta a contemplar o infinito retraimento.
"And there's no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me
and telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead."

Exasperando o âmago desta paixão
Destituir-me-ei de toda auto-piedade e pudor que ainda resta em minha alma. As preocupações com opiniões alheias caminham pela porta que as leva ao infinito sem volta. Memórias engavetadas em minha mente saltam com vigor e pousam perante meus olhos. Repentinamente meus lábios sentem a suavidade dos seus, acaloradamente transmitindo excitação a meu interior que, em contrapartida, congela com o sentimento surpreso ao distinguir suas mãos quentes subindo por dentro da minha blusa. A primeira reação seria de espanto e separação, mas meus olhos, que tanto te admiraram previamente, me relembram do ardente desejo de tê-lo junto a meu corpo. Sinto seus fortes braços me segurando firmemente, que rapidamente me deitam no chão. Meu corpo nu aprecia o calor da sua pele, minhas pernas se abrem perante o enorme anseio de tê-lo dentro de mim. Você me possui e chama pelo meu nome incessantemente. Meus lábios imploram por você, percebendo a paixão que exala do seu corpo. Impetuosamente, você se torna livre e repousa sua essência ao lado meu. Plácidos, contemplamos a afeição que nos reuniu, considerando a impossibilidade de experimentarmos satisfação e prazer igual. Vejo seu vulto à distância, minha alma sobrevive somente, ansiando pelo dia que o jardim florescerá novamente e sentirei sua paixão. Me desfaço em cinzas, entorpecendo minha mente e protegendo-me de mim mesma.Saturday, November 19, 2011
Unwholesomeness
"Why is it that you have the say-so in every situation, from birth onward, and I am left without a choice or a voice?
Why is it that you have sent me into exile in order to prevent yourself from having to go into exile?
Why is it that you let me sit here without what I need to be whole?
Why have I been more concerned about the well-being of you, dear birth mother, than I have for my own well-being?
Why is my reason for wanting to find you borne out of worry for you - I want to assure you that I am fine so you don't have to worry about me?
Why is it that I give you so much power, such control?
Why is it that I have often been angry at God for screwing up my life by making me an adoptee, when in reality, he removed me from your life for my own emotional protection?
Why am I willing to carry your pain for a lifetime by letting you have the say-so in every situation?
Why?
Why is it so?
Will someone please tell me?"
I make these words mine.
