When I feel like I am a marble rolling carelessly on an interminable slope thinking O my luck(!) how free am I?!!… when I am only haplessly falling into a precipice! Do I want to admit to myself, it is easier to go downstream than upstream? There is only hard-knuckles rapping at your skull forContinue reading “The fated `machina’: A poem”

You know, the tales of melancholia locked in my soul caffeinate the aliveness of it, because the swell of stoicism gives the earth its solidity as it matures. I make no melodrama of the ages of upheavals, they live like storms in dark evenings of memorabilia. When I am old, I can think wiser inContinue reading “The music of `all sing to Mum and Dad!’: A poem”

I remember, a long time ago, in my twenties, I went to the movies: Inner Spaces. Its protagonist, Dennis Quaid, was shrunk into a tiny capsule and injected into the body of another person! I thought then, I wouldn’t want to be constricted like the hero, even if it meant scouring the never trodden pathContinue reading “Inner Spaces: A poem”

Primo! Primo! Primo! Primo! The first, the beginning, the most important A mythic intiation right at the singularity between X and Y, God-king–priest and Empress-hierophantess-Goddess The hieros gamos where it all began Between the dewy eyed Mahadeva and Mahadevi! Do I say it in Portuguese, because we have a long ancestral tree, associated with thatContinue reading “O amor da minha vida!: A poem”

In the garden where I decided to relive…  where I discovered I had to both believe and deceive; where in the exploration of justice, I had to both lose and retrieve; if there was impunity for being blind and to perceive. When the solutions are not forthcoming, but problems ever-arising, like slow but perennially flowingContinue reading “Mother, see I stand before you!!!: A poem”

You know, an empire began with the lust of a dragon for a mortal woman on the shores of time and the Kings were called haloed! You know, the giants manifested with the gods being tempted to crave for human carnality; that we should, then, have incurred the curse of the deluge! You know, theContinue reading “Does destiny ever arrive?: A poem”
