On The Spot

This is just a little poem I wrote in English. Kind of hard, but hey. I have to give it a try sometimes. It's not really a poem, it's an English version of a Brazilian song (only it has nothing to do with the Portuguese lyrics lol). I would sing it so that you all hear what it sounds like, but I think I'd better stick to writting... lol Hope I didn't make many mistakes.

On The Spot

I can see that you're running away
Well, I knew you would if you were blue
Give me your hand, say you will stay
Don't lose your way, I'll go with you
All the lights that in you I have seen
Make me blind if you are on the spot
But I know that I know you a lot
Coz I've heard all your thoughts and what they mean
I can see now you're playing, enjoying your day
And the shadows are so far behind
See, it isn't just something I say
Just have faith and I know you will find
Whatever you need to melt the pain
To plant the seed of the love that will feed
Your blue heart again
Well, I am sure that you can
Take care of that little seed
Take the love that you need
To easy all your pain...

Mário Quintana

Se eu fosse um padre

Mário Quintana

Se eu fosse um padre, eu, nos meus sermões,
não falaria em Deus nem no Pecado
— muito menos no Anjo Rebelado
e os encantos das suas seduções,

não citaria santos e profetas:
nada das suas celestiais promessas
ou das suas terríveis maldições...
Se eu fosse um padre eu citaria os poetas,

Rezaria seus versos, os mais belos,
desses que desde a infância me embalaram
e quem me dera que alguns fossem meus!

Porque a poesia purifica a alma
...e um belo poema — ainda que de Deus se aparte —
um belo poema sempre leva a Deus!
