A trip to Infinity – Sunrise
A new day born on the horizon
Shades from cold to warm,
a ray through the spectrum
that red is not to be yet.
Look low past it changes.
Ephemerid of seconds, each a new
reality.
Not yet out and too much for me already.
You make me tired.
Make me realize how much I hate you.
Shine yet nothing beautiful to show,
only to blind the beauty of the sky.
The beauty of nature.
You should not be.

A trip to Infinity – Among the Blind
of nothingness,
trail of white metal hearing
in a rail line to nothingness.
Blind livelihood
and innocent fun from the non-living.
The no-knowers of civilisation,
the ones who make no stand
who do not live in rational.
Poor sadness for them
yet content for their own happiness.
Regrets of only being mistaken.
Only your fault.
Because I wanted to do good for me,
for us.
I wanted to help you grow into something,
a Beauty that there isn’t in you.
Yet, you force me out of you.
Force me to nothing in you,
let alone out.
An infinity at six
of a repetitive thinking.
Because only what you ‘re being to me
is at.
Loose words…

A trip to Infinity – Village of emptiness
Souls that travel for no purpose
then the mundane.
Simplicity that feels nothing,
only empty.
Breaking both worlds to live as hybrid.
not civilised nor else,
a mere wounded animal
to live on the fringes of the city.
Not a thought of it,
No looking at time through a straw
of white panel filled with the stripe of red.
Because it is young still
a life of ephemerid.
Only a brick on majestic
construction close to the river banks
not knowing life as natural,
as essential as breath.

A trip to Infinity - An ever ending trip
I look at you:
no more then this white numbness.
The impossibility to do something else;
just accepting what is.
Freedom for not choosing what
should be rightfully mine.
An eternity for a Lone Traveller
that now faces Its fear for
not being; more then It had ever thought.
Naked feet on this floor of raw stone
that stands between success and I,
a time where I feel no hope for not
the rise of the stars and moons;
such glorified ray of rage and energy,
iternal in its shortness yet mortal
in existense.
Today. I look at what might
in the hope of the forgetful to remember
a single existense; a possibility.
Not at shortage of thought
in the ever ending trip.
Rationality of hope.

No dream has ever looked so furder then before.
Back to a world that is no longer mine.
Where I once called my own,
now a simple space with strangers.
And yet, the longing for Civilization
for a place I yearned since child
and could not meet yet.
A lost soul behind the flickering light
in the first drop of September's rain.
And here, when the inner persona fights
for a place where Man is its own
it seems as if faith is pulling the opposite way,
pulling towards the palace of head and desert
where no living of the self is possible.
Here I dream, of being just a sound of the
falling rain on the concrete sidewalk;
and of the storm sky that flourishes
its beautiful tones of grey light of a sole
keystroke on the black and white box of peace.
Where should it drop from the wings of pure
to the woods at the base of mountain
where the pure of the white is just falling
where no-one is to confirm the reality of Nature.
No dream has ever looked so furder then before.
No soundtrack of weird calm yet sad melody
of silent and colourful music.
Just another sunset and another water
from the greenery of The Blue Mind:
blessed tear of relieve for a dream that cannot be.
A sadness of flying when it's shown how to,
an untaken breath longing for its time
that will never be.
A look behind the shoulder and, then
a face that looks down and turns,
never to be.

The prelude to the dawn of life.
Por Vera Branco, em Setinha @ Home
Ás quase mãos do relógio de Sol descanso não passa em olhos
que de oliva nasce quando aí se embate a estrela da Noite.
Se, por um lado nada de dentro se deposita em saco
por outro algo de estranho se de mim apodera.
À crescida da rosa para terra de onde nada mais que
o extracto da àgua adveio aos passados tempos
e que, ao despois de tal queda national se isolou em
recantos, por detrás do poente alto.
Não recobro da alma e do pensamento que
a espera deteve; a fugaz tentativa de fugidão
do que em pedra escrito me atormenta na mente do presente.
Porém, resta nada que a esperânsa e sentido
falham.
Pelo que o recêntio do que passou permanece, ainda ao consciênte
e o sentido da perdição esmagado contra a maré
em mim descansa.
Apenas uma despedida de quem de novo se muda.
The prelude to the dawn of life.

No longer will I wait.
No longer will I wait
for the sweet words of you
that used to touch my ear with such simplicity
that mesmerises still my indulgent mind.
‘… and then I kissed him’
to a goodbye that I’ve yearned
yet made so much effort to delay.
A return never to be,
never to happen again.
A face that will still be pain in me
when our eyes meet once more.
A light breeze that turns my inside
as cold as the sky, as it once were.
And later, when no winter leaves
fall on the summer white grass,
The blue sky above us and the bridge will still be.
The place where memories first met
and where no more then words spoken.
A promise from an empty personality
of a yearning soul to a Brazilian lover
that travelled from the old to the new arch of
where kings were born.
Sounds of chocolate and sweets
will no longer make sense.
A Candy never to be for this Man;
and useless and obvious words of a smiling mind
to the uncooperative body.
Smiling at my own reluctance to accept reality. :-)

A Waste of a Life.
A piece never to be set again,
A life never to be lived.
A pre-mature death of a mind that just wanted
to be free.
No hope for the suffering mind
forces itself not to change.
Not alive nor dead, not fighting to live either.
Just another wasted life.

Time froze in a day where a goodbye was never said.
By Iruvienne, Resting Thoughts (edited for spelling)
Time froze in a day where a goodbye was never said,
and then, I walked away.
That was the day I walked from where I left you
in a train never to be seen again
that disappeared beyond the hill,
approached to a bouquet of red roses;
the same roses that were once part of my imagination
of my future, of our future.
That was the last day I’ve seen your brown eyes
looking at me and your grin of someone who
was still learning how.
The day where, for the first time in my life
I felt as though someone had ripped my heart out,
When pain became as real as physical.
Beyond my embellished reality nothing really is.
A loneliness that shapes at every inch it lapidates
the raw I once was.
And yet, when I said goodbye I waved
as if it was just another day and another
‘I’ll see ya tomorrow.’
And then, while I turned and put my headphones on
with my usual unfriendly face
I felt my world crumble again
and held my tears once more.
The night fell and here, once again
was The Lone Traveler ready to move on
when, looking at the old Tennessee of green hope,
something unusual happened.
It felt as if the wind was blowing on my face
and rain was pouring inside my empty shell.
A tear of hate and loss and pain.
And then the releasing of a frustration
built up in a week that seemed to last forever.
That was the night where I hold to my pillow
and gasped for air, for the pain was too much to bare.
where I moaned for the pain of the piano and violin
that played my life.
Because it was then that I remembered that
my end will be as empty as my existence has been.
The name no one can quite remember,
a face that blurs in the next second,
a shadow that passes you in the blink of an eye
never to be seen or heard or remembered.
An anonymous existence in you.
A person you’ll soon forget
because the wonders of today and futures’
will eclipse the rebound of me:
a unique soul that was so special in the moments
it was and yet so insignificant when it wasn’t.
A presence that is good while there
but not missed or remembered.
I know I can write freely for neither you or anyone else will read
these words, forever to be lost in this page
and never to be found or read.
It is here where I stop searching for you and wait
for your soul to find mine. And I will until my last sane second.
With you forever.
(A reflection not just on you but on everyone that I do and will meet. You’d recognize yourself here, if you were to ever read these words and you’d know I can feel.)

copyrights: as leis que não são leis / Opressão de Liberdade
Terá chegado o momento? Será efectivamente altura da nossa liberdade ser interdita? Hoje vi no noticiário uma notícia que, apesar de não surpreendente, não deixou de me chocar e de me revoltar. O site MAPiNET exige (aparentemente com sucesso) à PT, responsável pela distribuição de internet em portugal, que proíba o acesso a um punhado de sites afirmando que estes são ilegais, uma vez que distribuem conteúdo copyrighted. (artigo em: http://www.mapinet.org/2009/08/a-pt-notificada-para-remover-sites-piratas/)
Este acto repressor lembrou-me de imediato quando foi anunciado publicamente a negação do acesso ao Google na República Popular da China. Acho sínico, e francamente nojento estados que amam proclamar ao mundo que são livres e que os seus cidadãos têm todos os direitos e mais alguns e condenam outros países diferentes da sua máscara hipócrita quando depois proíbem o que não lhes agrada. Não culpo apenas os chefes de governo mas todos aqueles que defendem os ‘pobres’ monopólios que, devido a downloads ‘ilegais’ não vão poder comprar carros topo de gama, vivendas em locais de luxo, férias em locais paradisíacos aos donos de cadeias como a Paramount, a Electronic Arts ou a Vidisco para citar apenas algumas de muitas que, com a desculpa de querer beneficiar o ‘artista’ (que de artístico têm já muito pouco, veja-se a qualidade de representação em Morangos com Açúcar ou a capacidade vocal de Britney Spears) roubam o consumidor praticando preços líquidos bastante inflacionados em relação ao custo de produção.
Ao contrário do que afirmam, estudos comprovam que quem mais faz downloads ‘ilegais’ é também quem mais compra o produto oficial. Incoerente? Nem por isso. A maioria dos ‘piratas’ faz downloads por três principais razões: o produto não está disponível na sua área; o utilizador quer saber se o produto na sua totalidade (e não ‘amostras’ que são refinadas para atingir o maior número de clientes) vale a pena o preço; o preço do produto no mercado e bastante mais elevado do que o produto realmente vale.
Já toda a gente fez downloads de algo apenas para ‘encher tempo morto’. Produtos daqueles que entretêm apenas e não fazem pensar (que, diga-se, são a grande maioria). Tomemos uma série, por exemplo. De que vale gastar 30€ (preço aproximado da S4 de House MD no site da FNAC) ou 40€ (S1 - Stargate Atlantis, no mesmo site) quando se pode ter o produto com uma fracção do preço, muitas vezes com melhor qualidade que a edição em dvd?
Por sua vez, os governos (dado a sua pouca estratégia política, habituados a um população votante que pouco deve ao poder de raciocínio) em vez de ouvirem a maioria da população, a favor da liberdade de troca de material copyrighted (tanto no Reino Unido como na Finlândia, entre outros países europeus, se fizeram fortes manifestações contra este tipo de ‘leis’ que proíbem a troca informática, manifestações essas abafadas pelas grandes distribuidoras) seguem aquilo que as grandes companhias lhes ordenam, como se fossem donas e senhoras do mundo, qual América.
O problema é que o cidadão não tem como se livrar deste regime totalitário que se criou desde a invenção do disco de vinil. A distribuidoras compram (literalmente) políticos, juízes (como ficou mais que óbvio no julgamento dos ex-operadores do site The PirateBay, informação disponível em http://thepiratebay.org/ incluindo o documentário sobre o julgamento, basta por na pesquisa ‘the pirate Bay trial’ ou incongruências no processo em http://thepiratebay.org/blog , post intitulado ‘Peter Sunde sues Mr. Kuk’) e quem mais precisam para que o seu império de mais de 30 anos (falamos das ‘leis’ de copyright modernas, aprovadas dos Estados Unidos da América em 1976, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law).
Pergunto-me quem é que, por de facto defender a liberdade e não por interesse monetário, investigou se essas copyright ‘laws’ são efectivamente válidas enquanto leis, não contrariando qualquer outra lei, seja ela de liberdade de expressão ou não. Simplesmente se tomaram essas regras como sendo leis e agora toca de aplicar, justas ou não, quer prejudiquem ou não.
Não podemos deixar que o monstro que criámos nos destrua. Não podemos permitir ceder mais um direito nosso como fizemos com o direito à privacidade! Afinal de contas e, olhando bem, muito pouco nos é permitido enquanto cidadãos supostamente livres. Foram-nos cortados os direitos de fazer aquilo que a nossa mente pede e, agora, está-se também a proibir as pessoas de partilhar ideias, pensamentos, sonhos. Está-se a proibir a partilha de raciocínio, a fala, a escrita, a representação, a canção. Está-se a obrigar o Homem a deixar de o ser para passar a ser algo menos que um escravo.
DOWN WITH copyright laws!

A rush of something like feeling.
apanhar vento, voar.
Sair daqui e não voltar.
Correr onde não tenho pé, onde não chamam por mim;
Correr onde não me conhecem,
onde nada mais há que eu próprio de corpo.
Onde não penso ou sinto ou vejo
onde apenas sou eu sem o ser
sou o eu de mente e não de presensa
Aptece-me correr.

One last goodbye.
A kiss that will never be again
a tear that falls down my watery eyes
as a last thought of you
crosses my mind.
A thought of an absence
I was feeling
even before you left.
Yet the war still goes and now
it is real.
No more hidden sweets
and smiles, no more kisses in the dark.
No more tenderness in a park
of lost green souls in the middle of the
city of loneliness.
These are my last words to you.
Words of hope to your future.
Brief yet with so much meaning.
A world we shared even in the silence
of the pear or under the yellow flowers
that fell on that not so distant day
from the trees;
a yellow carpet of flowers; a rain of light.
Words that still be suck in my thought
whenever my eyes and yours meet;
words never to be played; never to be listened.
A goodbye from a lone traveler
to one of his companions.
A wave in the distance to a boat
never to return to this sea;
One last look into your brown eyes
you so hard try to hide from the world;
One last touch on your delicate skin
as I close my eyes to feel every inch of your face;
as I hear your deep and frightened breath
when you’re in my harms.
I will always protect you;
and you will always and forever see my smile,
an honest thought for you.
Because I will never forget when I saw you cry;
when I felt your pain and when I helped you rise
from a reality I put you in;
from a pain that was never supposed to happen.
You will not cry anymore.
I will not let the tears fall from honesty.
These are my last words,
one last goodbye.
