Love Is

Love is that which beckons us,
Obtainment so fulfilling
A gift of healing for the heart
Till now it's us that's giving.

Zigue E Zague

Zigue e Zague

O caminho para o topo
nem sempre 
é uma linha reta.
às vezes, 
é zigue 
e zague.

Nos momentos 
do Zigue e Zague
só palavras nos faz 
encontrar a grandeza 
de fazer hoje e sempre
mais e mais.

Be Gone Defeated Foe

I've read the book and it is so
That death is a defeated foe.

He lurks within the shadowland 
Light being what he can not stand.

In the kingdom, where there's no night,
Death can't exist; for all is light.

Light your houses brightly and everywhere you go
Tell the vagrant, death, out loud " be gone defeated foe."

Five Fingers

(This is a Minute Poem written in strict iambic meter)

Five fingers guide me to the floor
I smile no more
I want to flee 
"Just dance with me."

In all the world I must believe
And do perceive
A gentleman
Waits for my hand.

Someone with whom my fate will lock
And mock me not
For here I am
With midget Sam.

Death Is Due An Insult

Death is due an insult
In fact, it's way past due 
Born out of sin, no next of kin,
No love for life, no reason to.

No positive occupation,
To me it's pretty clear
He goes about with lip stuck out
His business is to interfere

With life and all it's blessing.
He doesn't think it's odd
That no one wants him hanging round.
He needs a better job.

Alegre Vai

Agora Vai. Sem caminho marcado.
Seja uma presenca.
Ora Visivel, ora Invisivel,
presenca silenciosa.

Traça a reta e a curva,
a esquina e a subida
Tudo precisa ser feito.
De tudo voce vai viver.

Espere sempre a luz, 
sem nem mesmo saber
que a espere,
Sem saber que existe.

Todas as coisas 
Te esperam,
Sem te falarem. 
Sem lhes falares
Se falar sobre as coisas
Que deseja!

My Heart Is Coming To a Stop Sign

My heart is coming to a stop sign
I see it just beyond
Along the road of this destiny
A lot of other hearts are strung
A detour is fairly impossible
The road is a very single one.

Just happens on this mournful trip
I didn't bring a friend
Nor did I bother to jeopardize
The heart of kit or kin 
However I feel very shaky now
I'm coming to the end.

My Knees Don'T Like Me

My knees don't like me very much
Right now I don't like them.
They use to be much friendlier
When I stayed fit and trim.

You don't give up on friends because
They've maybe gained some weight
But mercy me , if I was a three
They'd take me on a date.

I want them to remember
To think real long and hard
Replacement's in the future
So I'd not go overboard.

Linha

Linha

Desde sempre
o sucesso, 
isso a que damos 
o nome de sucesso, 
como todas 
as coisas deste mundo, 
não conhece a linha reta. 

Para chegar ao sucesso
pense em conhecer pessoas.
o que é que fazem bem, 
o que gostam de fazer, 
o que elas precisam 
obter das suas ocupações.

Se lembre que até 
Rimbaud 
Antes de ser 
traficante de café 
armas e marfim na África, 
foi poeta em Paris.

Estrada Reta

O Progresso é uma estrada reta

Não há atalhos
Ninguém liga ou desliga 
como uma torneira
ou acelera
numa “milha extra”... 

Faça sempre 
um pouco a mais
o tempo todo
se doe, 
crie...

Crie e ande 
pela estrada reta e livre
e chegue aonde quiser
mais rápido.

Não existe atalho
o progresso 
é uma estrada reta
em todos os sentidos

Muito poucas pessoas 
chegam a lugar algum 
tomando atalhos.

Domingo

Domingo

Domingo diferente e igual
Hoje como sempre,
Mais uma vez.
Criei no Domingo,
Uma linha reta de
Esperança.

Neste Domingo,
Pintei um mundo colorido 
Para um dia que vamos ver
Milhares com a 
Vida enriquecida!

No Domingo,
Pintei um porto seguro
Na segurança das escolhas
Pintei um sonho futuro
Sonhado há um tempo...

Amanhã, 
AH! Amanha, 
será o ultrapassar 
curvas 
no teu caminho destinado.

The Galactic Way

Galactic is our universe
Enhanced by wonder lust
Of stars that want to show their tails
Before they turn to dust.

Much like my sister and her mister
Out to light the town
In their galactic Lamborghini
Loaded all around.

And if they race like stars that hast
To blind with their bright lights
They might end up, a black hole stuck
And that would serve them right.

Afraid To Die

Most people are afraid to die
A fatal blow it seems , death does
If a corpse came back to life they'd cry
Please tell us how it was 

A pillow as soft as downy silks
A night as long as souls can stand
A blacken overlay of quilts
An escape rout from the fate of man

Thus is the consequence of death 
A restful sleep; a silent hush 
Until we kick the covers away
And the shadow of death forsakes us.

Stay Off the Road From 4 To 6

All along the thoroughfare 
To freeways of the metroplex
Weary workers are coming home
They own the road from 4 to 6

Yes that's the worst time of the day 
It's like a harpy's metal zoo
Where chances you could have a wreck
Are ten times greater multiplied by two.

If happens you are passing there 
Upon this warning please reflect
Don't join the harpy's metal fair 
Stay off the road from 4 to 6.

Zigue E Zague

Zigue e Zague


O caminho que te leva ao topo
nem sempre é uma linha reta.
às vezes, 
é zigue 
e zague.

São nos momentos do Zigue e Zague
que só palavras podem nos proteger
só palavras podem nos levar
a descobrir dons 
que nunca soubemos 
que tínhamos.

Momentos de Zigue e Zague
nos faz encontrar a grandeza 
que está dentro de cada um de nós. 

Você “se conhece”?  Você se autodetermina?

Heaven

'O HEAVEN, of my Father,'
Eternal and limitless you be;
So full of light, no less your might
And host to all eternity.

A holy, hallowed province,
And so has ever been.
Nothing corrupt; not human flesh 
Has ever interred in.

So how to speak of 'everlasting,'
I feel that no one here can know.
To get a truthful understanding,
You really have to go.

The Dress

They searched and searched
To find the rest
Of Mrs. Jello's 
Daring dress.

Most eyes were glued
Right at the spot 
Where Mrs. Jello's
Dress was not.

While contemplating
More or less
"Is dress intact?
Or "Not a dress."

I feel that 'all'
The dress was there
The distribution
Seemed unfair


With so much gathered
Down below
And less the farther
UP you go.

The whole affair
We'll put to rest
The casualty
Mrs. Jello's dress.
