lately I find myself out gazing at stars

Lately

Oh I’ve been

wondering

when will you

take me

to

the moon.

You are

always

flying

around,

and

lately

I started to feel

like

you don’t

care

as much

as yesterday

-like someone

in love.

Ryan Grees

a culpa é da vontade.

A culpa não, não é do vento
Se a minha voz se calar
A culpa é do lamento
Que sufoca o meu cantar

A culpa é da vontade
Que vive dentro de mim
E só morre com a idade
Com a idade do meu fim

True Blood

Ride The Snake

Jim Morrison: Close your eyes. We'll see the snake; see the serpent appear. His head is ten feet long and five feet wide. He has one red eye and one green eye. He's seven miles long. Deadly. I see all the history of the world on his scales, all people, all actions. We're all just little pictures on his scales. God, he's big, he's moving, devouring consciousness, digesting power. Monster of energy. It's a monster. We're going to kiss the snake on the tongue. Kiss the serpent. But if it senses fear, it'll eat us instantly. But if we kiss it without fear, it'll take us through the garden, through the gate, to the other side. Ride the snake... until the end of time.
John: I think I'm fucked up, man. I'm not thinking right.
John: Look at your eyes, man... your death.

in The Doors (1991). Directed by Oliver Stone

"They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night one of us went off."

Dark City (1998). Directed by Alex Proyas. With Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt.

"John's life has become a nightmare. He is hunted by the police for a series of murders he knows nothing about, a woman who claims to be his wife is after him, and so is a mysterious "doctor". But his worst trouble is The Strangers, a series of vastly powerful beings who seem to manipulate just about everything in the city, and want him because of the extraordinary powers he manifested. John decides to find out what is happening in his city; why is it always night? And why can nobody tell him a way to leave the city?"

hopeless

By Roy Lichtenstein. (October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) he was a prominent American pop artist. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as, "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".

"I wasn't born to lose you"

"The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you

I want you
I want you
I want you
So bad
Honey, I want you"

Bob Dylan, 1966.

Sway With Me

sway with me, everything sad - madmen in stone houses without doors, lepers steaming love and song frogs trying to figure the sky; sway with me, sad things - fingers split on a forge old age like breakfast shell used books, used people used flowers, used love I need you I need you I need you: it has run away like a horse or a dog, dead or lost or unforgiving. By Charles Bukowski

Wait a minute, something's wrong, baby...The key won't unlock the door. I got a bad, bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more.

'A Woman In The Sun' by Edward Hopper

O que é do ser sem a pretensiosa desgraça?

summertime...

And the living is easy.

One of these mornings, you're going to rise up singing. Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky...

...a heart that's full up like a landfill, bruises that won't heal

É intangível a energia
compreendida entre a sua condescendência
e minha abstinência.
Porque é um espaço quase anulado,
mas sobrevivente,
onde persiste uma partícula
de consentimento,
que funciona como
mecanismo regulador
de algo quase extinto.

Londres. Março.

Snot-nosed little fools.

Quando as almas morrem os corpos tornam-se flácidos e rugosos. Incapazes de respirar, de sobreviver ao fantasmagórico pântano que os espera. Sem norte nem sul, eles arrastam-se como uma ofídia decadente. A lentidão é visivelmente agoniante, sofredora.

"Há uma contradição ridícula em encerrar a alma no corpo, nesse mesmo corpo que ela conhece limitado e rodeado por tantas outras coisas. E como é que aquilo que encerra antecipadamente todos os lugares possíveis, que os compara, para quem o longe e o perto estão juntos, quer dizer, em relação, que jamais separa sem unir, que não pode pensar nada fora de si sem o pensar por isso mesmo em si, que não conhece o limite senão ultrapassado, que é, finalmente, o todo de tudo, e mesmo até o todo dos possíveis, como é que esse árbitro universal pode estar prisioneiro em uma parte e aí limitado?"

testing me, trying my patients.

"O que torna o homem essencialmente bom é o facto de ter poucas necessidades e de pouco se comparar com os outros; o que o torna essencialmente mau é ter muitas necessidades e preocupar-se muito com a opinião. Sobre este princípio, é fácil ver como se podem dirigir - para o bem ou para o mal - todas as paixões das crianças e dos homens. É verdade que, como não podem viver sempre sós, dificilmente poderão viver sempre bons."

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in 'Emílio'
