I'm getting lost - Ando perdido

I'm getting lost

through crossed ways

complex deflections

infinite paths

I don't come back

nor I run away from future

of uncertain ways

complex fears

infinite dreams.



Determined

I carry on and stumble

I fall to the ground

and stay moribund

herald of the time being

my face drowns in shade

and the sun

on my image's back already without soul

through crossed ways

complex deflections

infinite paths

illuminates the deadlock repose of my body.

Ando perdido

por caminhos cruzados

complexos desvios

infinitos trilhos

não volto atrás

nem fujo do futuro

de caminhos incertos

complexos medos

infinitos sonhos.



Determinado

continuo e tropeço

caio de borco

e fico moribundo

arauto do tempo que vem

meu rosto afoga-se na sombra

e o sol

nas costas de minha imagem já sem alma

por caminhos cruzados

complexos desvios

infinitos trilhos

ilumina o beco repouso do meu corpo.

Well, Armando, as Oscar Wilde wrote: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” You’re feeling moribund and looking at the infinite. Carry on!
