This mouth is a wound from where I'm learning
       to love. My love language, I've told strange men, is words
       of affirmation.

- Jai Hamid Bashir
Did love exist?

Who was the hunter? - And - the prey?
The roles reversed and all was blurred!

(...)

... oh, did I win?
Was I defeated?

- Marina Tsvetaeva
I—am. You—will be. An abyss between us.
I drink. You thirst. In vain, we try to agree.
Ten years between us, a hundred thousand
Years between us. God builds no bridges.

- Marina Tsvetaeva
no silêncio, dor
how strange it is for the heart to be loveless
- philip larkin
Through the eyes love enters mind; but the mind can see nothing,
and not be blind.

- Philip Larkin
alone in the grove of silent eyes
- john fowles
we are neither living nor dead but a cloud of words
- john fowles
meu interesse é viver sem você
when i'm away from you
i'm happier than ever
nosso passado eu procuro esquecer

Please alejandra
open your eyes,
kindle the light
of birth.

- Alejandra Pizarnik
I forced myself
kicking and screaming
into language

I know what my heart is like
          Since your love died:
It is like a hollow ledge
Holding a little pool
          Left there by the tide,
          A little tepid pool,
Drying inward by the edge.

Minha linha
Ricardo Aleixo

Que o dono da fala
nunca
permita que eu saia
da linha
a linha que 
quanto mais torta
mais posso dizer
que é minha

Sempre fui
meu próprio mestre
e é sem tristeza
que conto
que ainda não aprendi
nada
não me considero
pronto

Em matéria
tão complexa
quanto a arte
de entortar
a linha
que nem a morte
há de um dia
endireitar
