balas, bolas e balões
dia de...
Liberte-me da gruta gélida e úmida em que me jogaram.
Faça-me sorrir, faça-me cantar. Faça-me a pessoa mais feliz do mundo.
Convença-me de que quer pouco, muito pouco, mas que neste pouco estou eu.
Mesmo que por apenas um dia,
me ame.
the farther one travels, the less one knows

quem diria...
agora explode e me constrange...
platônico latente (em crescendo)
É sempre alguma desilusão - pequena ou grande. É sempre esperar que ele faça isso, que ela faça aquilo; ou que diga a frase perfeita, as palavras que queremos ouvir. Ou que sinta o que sentimos.
Mas nunca é assim. Há, de fato, um universo entre as pessoas. Há milhões de camadas separando cada um de nós, tornando-nos impermeáveis e incompreensíveis.
Excetuando-se as alegrias, apaixonar-se é mesmo triste.
Amor platônico é um amor errado - pois está fora do sujeito (o que ama). Amor platônico é mau por definição. É amor às avessas, pois não se realiza - e amor de verdade é o que se faz, não o que se pensa. Amor errado; ferida que, lambida pela língua de outrem, não há de sarar.
É triste, e não tem saída. Não tem fim. Não, não tem. Há de carregá-lo até o inferno, até a última cinza que há de ser queimada. É cruz, é fardo; uma penitência.
Perdoa os que amam, pois eles não o fazem por gosto. Fazem porque é sua missão. Fazem porque é o que podem. Fazem. E seu fim já há de ser amargo. Portanto condoa-se do miserável, que já perdeu seu sono, sua alma e seu afeto.
Perdoa-me se não soube ver antes.

"Epic", or "the quoting of a life-time"
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying! Play me a song to set me free! (Belle & Sebastian)
Since I don’t have you (Guns and Roses), I’m a real nowhere man (The Beatles), and I guess that I just don't care (The Velvet Underground - Heroin) – and I don't need to be forgiven (The Who – Baba O’Riley). What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes? What is it I must do? I would do it all the time (Belle & Sebastian – The boy done wrong again)… Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all (Queen – Bohemian rhapsody); sometimes I wonder should I stay or should I go (The Clash) straight to hell (The Clash). Sometimes I dream I'm a fisherman, sometimes I dream I'm a millionaire, and sometimes I dream I'm a true lover (Antsy Pants - Sometimes). Sometimes I feel so happy, sometimes I feel so sad; sometimes I feel so happy, but mostly you just make me mad, baby you just make me mad (The Velvet Underground – Pale blue eyes)- though in the end it's always me alone (The Cardigans – My favorite game).
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen, but that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine (Bob Dylan – The man in me). My obsessions get me known throughout the school for being strange (Belle & Sebastian - Expectations): I've got too much on my mind; I think of everything to be discovered - I hope there's something to find (Paul McCartney – Ever present past)… I have my books and my poetry to protect me (Simon & Garfunkel – I am a rock). All I ever wanted was to sing the saddest songs - If somebody sings along I will be happy (Belle & Sebastian – The boy done wrong again). Life could be musical comedy (God Help the Girl – Hiding ‘neath my umbrella)… If you live you will learn - I live and I learn (The Cardigans).
A day in the life (The Beatles), we were talking about the space between us all, and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion (The Beatles - Within you without you) and about how when the broken-hearted people living in the world agreed, there would be an answer. (The Beatles – Let it be)
I said: I have made the big decision - I'm gonna try to nullify my life (The Velvet Underground - Heroin)! For living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see (The Beatles – Strawberry fields forever). No, no quiero imitar y, por ser como todos no ser nadie (El Cuarteto de Nos – No quiero ser normal). You better free your mind instead! (The Beatles - Revolution) Can you hear me that when it rains and shines, it's just a state of mind! Can you hear me? (The Beatles – Rain) Arrive without travelling; see all without looking! (The Beatles – The inner light)
She turned to me and said, just like a woman (Bob Dylan) “Soon you will know that you are sane (Belle & Sebastian - Expectations). If you don't like things you leave for some place you never gone before (The Velvet Underground – I found a reason)”. So I took my things and left (Belle & Sebastian – Sukie in the graveyard).
It's a wicked life but what the hell; the stars ain't falling down (Bob Dylan – Goin’ to Acapulco)... “When you've seen beyond yourself - then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there; and the time will come when you see we're all one - and life flows on within you and without you (The Beatles)”
Limitless undying love shines around me like a million suns, and calls me on and on across the universe (The Beatles – Across the universe)… It ain’t me babe (Bob Dylan); anyway, don't think twice, it's all right (Bob Dylan)! ‘Cause you’re the storm that I believe in (The Cardigans). Even when I watch TV, there’s a hole where you’re supposed to be (John Lennon - Dear Yoko)…
I want you (Bob Dylan) and all I want is you (Barry-Louis Polisar), so why am I so shy when I’m beside you (The Beatles - It’s only love)? But it's not that way; I wasn't born to lose you (Bob Dylan - I want you).
“How does it feel to be without a home - like a rolling stone? (Bob Dylan)” Feels like I’m a pretty strange animal (Antsy Pants - Sometimes). Now I'm so happy I found you - how I love you (The Beatles – Long long long).
“How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people? (The Beatles – Baby you’re a rich man)” Maybe I’m amazed (Paul McCartney).
“How does it feel to be such a freak?” Impossible. (Bob Dylan – Ballad of a thin man)
"My advice is to not let the boys in (Bob Dylan – Tombstone blues)", said the pale-blue-eyed girl (The Velvet Underground). She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does; and she aches just like a woman - but she breaks just like a little girl (Bob Dylan – Just like a woman). Got no deeds to do. No promises to keep. Life I love you – all is groovy! (Simon & Garfunkel - The 59th street bridge song)
...
And now, what was golden went grey (Joanna Newsom – Peach, plum, pear), and you've changed your mind (The Beatles – Not a second time)… “I don’t think I could stand to be stuck, and that’s the way that things were going! (Belle & Sebastian – Act of the apostle II)” So I said goodbye to someone that I love. It’s not just me, I tell you it’s the both of us - and it was hard… (Belle & Sebastian – If she wants me)
I walked down life's lonely highways, hand in hand with myself… (The Velvet Underground – I found a reason)
So next Friday I’m in love (The Cure) again (just like starting over [John Lennon]). I saw a face, I can't forget the time or place where we met; she's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met (The Beatles – I’ve just seen a face)! But it’s gonna take money – and it’s gonna take time (George Harrison – I’ve got my mind set on you). We eat and we drink, we feel and we think (Bob Dylan – When the deal goes down)… I kept taking everything to be to be a sign (Belle & Sebastian – I’m a cuckoo)! Regarding the wrong girl (Belle & Sebastian), she said “And I bet she’s making shells back home for a steady boy to wear ‘round his neck; well it won't hurt to think of her as if she’s waiting for this letter to arrive…(Belle & Sebastian – I fought in a war)”
My mind's distracted and defused. My thoughts are many miles away - they lie with her when she’s asleep and kiss her when she starts her day (Simon & Garfunkel – Kathy’s Song) … Silent cloud, oh, Ocean child (The Beatles - Julia)! Rain, please tell me now does that seem fair, for her to steal my heart away when she don't care? I can't love another when my heart’s somewhere far away… (The Cascades – Rhythm of the falling rain)
“You're just a storyteller - you're not trying to escape responsibility. If I believe you then you're successful! (Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling)”
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow… (The Cascades – Rhythm of the falling rain)
And finally I do goddamn I do goddamn see (Devendra Banhart – Tell me something)! There's no problem, only solutions! (John Lennon – Watching the wheels)
So I will love you just the same… (Belle & Sebastian – To be myself completly)

experiência própria III
Amar é estar feliz. Amar é estar livre.
Amor não precisa ir para lugar algum. No máximo para o rosto ao lado...
experiência própria
Devendra Banhart - Tell me Something
Do you love him?
Does he love you too?
- like I love you...
I know nature is beside me
When he's inside you
I feel it too...
Here's a picture of my mother;
There's no-one like she...
And finally
I do goddamn, I do goddamn see.

E eu vim
Talvez agora faça frio e haja vento cortante - inquieto e gritante. Que eu amo.
Talvez tenha acabado a inocência, a inoperância e a estagnação. E talvez seja bom.
Talvez eu me arrependa, talvez não; talvez eu volte atrás, talvez não.
Tudo depende do clima. E o clima sou eu. E és tu. Todos nós. Porque se eu chovo, tu brilhas e ela relampeja - I don't mind, the weather's fine!
Chame como quiser, mas eu sou o universo, a infinitude e todas as possibilidades que existem e inexistem - eu sou uma alma. Viva. Pulsante. Visceral. Infernal. E eu vim pra te pegar.

Revisão
Vontade de querer fazer o que eu tenho que fazer.
Conclusões aceleradas geram riscos não-calculados, mas trazem a satisfação momentânea de um saída, de um fim. Riscos não-calculados, posteriormente, nos levam a voltar atrás nas ações que tomamos, o que é, no máximo, uma revisão atitudinal, passível de olhares tortos e irreverentes comentários soltos - mas que nos faz crescer.
Eu afirmo o que sempre quis dizer mas não disse: amor próprio não é amor. O amor é impróprio por definição e só existe do lado de fora.
