sailing through the depths of a blue hope

she moves across vague oceans

in nudity, darkness, divinity,

communing with demons and serpents,

sleeping with angels and devas,

grabbing words brought from the invisible.

heart is the same that sees through the mists,

guiding bare steps through the inner abyss.

she is Persephone in the Underworld, dying and being reborn a thousand times,

bringing the hope of a million Springs and the interlude of Winters.

fingers that touched the dead, may they now awake the living.

from loneliness, may them bring out the light of a gentle alchemy

may flowers arise from broken dreams

may birds sing above the solitude of sins

may she, once more, reinvent herself from her own mortality.

-----

Navegando através das profundezas de uma esperanca azul

ela se move través de vagos oceanos

em nudez, escuridão, divindade,

em comunhão com demônios e serpentes,

dormingdo com anjos e devas,

agarrando palavras trazidas do invisível.

o coração é o mesmo que enxerga através das brumas

guiando passos nus através do abismo interior.

ela é Persephone no mundo subterrâneo,

morrendo e renascendo mil vezes,

trazendo a esperança das Primaveras e o interlúdio dos Invernos.

dedos que tocam os mortos, possam agora acordar os vivos.

da solidão, possam eles trazer a luz de uma alquimia branda

possam flores surgir de sonhos despedaçados

possam pássaros cantar acima da solidão dos pecados

possa ela, uma vez mais, se reinventar de sua própria mortalidade.

caminho em solidao atraves de oceanos vagos

em nudez, olhos vendadados, tocando o vento,

agarrando palavras trazidas de lugar nenhum.

apenas o coração, enxergando atraves da bruma, guia-me os passos nus.

sou Persephone no Hades, morrendo e renascendo mil vezes,

trazendo em si a esperança de milhoes de primaveras e o descansar de invernos.

dedos que tocaram os mortos, que agora acordem os vivos

que façam renascer das cinzas da incerteza a luz de uma alquimia branda

que flores brotem dos sonhos despedacados

que passaros cantem sobre a solidao da neblina

que eu possa, mais uma vez, metamorfosear-me sobre as cinzas de mim.

Artemis Hair
The beating heart on my sleeve,
is tightly secured by the hair-band
you placed on my wrist.

Day and night,
I wear a single strand
of your hair wrapped around my finger.

Eco-friendly ring,
symbol of love.
