Poetry from Rui Carvalho

What I want…

I want to be mustered by the cool water of the fountain.
I want the stiff light of the sun over the round petals.
I want the pouty lips and red cheeks and your kiss.
I want all the life and universe I can obtain!

I want the sigh of the travel at the light speed.
I want the sameness of a Summer morning seed.
I want your jabbered whispers in the desert.
And I want to be FREE and eat life as a dessert.

mysterious feelings

I don’t understand this colorful rainbow dust,
Neither the cool and truly bright fountain near it…
My search for their colors gave senseless end.
Without you, near them, my naked hands would be empty…

I found you near the true yellow, near the star’s dust.
Sorbitol: the love with 60 % less calories!
The love you give: joy, condensed sun beams.
Pure commotion in front of innocence.

Can’t survive, without your oval aureole…
Light inside of a cell, mysterious meiosis.
Heart captive of sound, the fountain of love…
Feelings, perfect definition, flight without wings.

Am I mad? Am I alive? Am I just dead?
Your eyes my fire? My eyes a fishhook?
