for e.e. cummings’ roots of Love

take my Love as a safe secret(we will never fall, 
my dear, i will always keep you near)

and if your heart fears more than trust,

watch out, 

Love,

it’s such a rare, rare thing to find,

to feel it so deep and tight, 

look into my eyes,(dive in my soul

inside my chest there’s a precious garden

with ancient trees colorful flowers wild horses pure rivers free birds and it’s all for you, 

all for you, my dear)

we shall always be truthful,

we must never pretend a thing,

Love, 

lean on me your sweet heart (take mine as a warm home, 
we will always live there,

in the beat of all feelings, 

in the heat of endless care

we'll grow and dance and shine 

brighter days, new joy, so kind)

take my Love as a safe ride (we will never fall, 
my dear, i will always keep you near) 

sobre Uma faca só lâmina (ou serventia das ideias fixas)
de João Cabral de Melo Neto

Hold my hand, my heart is a missing plane
it flies away, babe
it fears not to stay
longer, a spring will bloom and fade


(to blossom dreams in colors, life in days)


I want you to know
it doesn't really matter what they say


Hold me tight, our love is a safe bay


I've sailed night and day
it felt dark and cold, just to say
but there was you, dear
a clear sky above my way


(blue as the sea, when it smiles and waves away)


You've been lost, babe, I can tell
your eyes 'came pale, your voice so gray
but now it's all changed, babe, we've flown and made
take my word when I say, I'm here to stay


Hold my hand, love, together we must leave this shade
