Dormideira

para Mirane

resplandece intocável sob o sol
joga beleza e força para o ar
retesa se lhe jogam anzol
encolhe e parece encabrunhar
quando se aproximam, sem vagar,
suas folhas fecham, qual livro que não
mostra suas fontes, qual pedra que água,
não permeia, qual quimera sem belerofonte,
qual ressaca sem bebedeira

e sozinha e sozinha quer estar
para matar a solidão que acompanha
a cada folha em tristeza medonha
quer dormir e estar no belo reino
onde acordar é como um espelho
onde só se mostram maravilhas
onde ressurgem os contadores mortos
que não morrem, recolhem suas pétalas

Aproveitando a era dos poemas no blog...

Vou postar um poema que o Fer escreveu pra mim há muito tempo atrás e que eu amo.

The Fly

Little Fly
The summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink & sing:
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength & breath:
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

William Blake

The Human Abstract

Pity would be no more,
If we did not make somebody Poor:
And Mercy no more could be,
If all were as happy as we:

And mutual fear brings peace:
Till the selfish loves increase.
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears:
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head;
And the Catterpiller and Fly,
Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat:
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The Gods of the earth and sea,
Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree
But their search was all in vain;
There grows one in the Human Brain

William Blake

The Angel

I Dreamt a Dream! what can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen:
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe, was ne'er beguil'd!

And I wept both night and day
And he wip'd my tears away
And I wept both day and night
And hid from him my hearts delight

So he took his wings and fled:
Then the morn blush'd rosy red:
I dried my tears & arm'd my fears,
With ten thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again:
I was arm'd, he came in vain:
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head

William Blake

Então...

Segurem-se que aí vem uma onda de William Blake.

Sim, poesia.

Quem diria...

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

William Blake

O problema da minha vida é que ela foi escrita pelo Poe. Ele já sabia que eu iria me matar antes de pensar no(s) motivo (s) e agora não tenho nenhum.
