Slow Motion

And then there is a time when she doesn't know what to think anymore.
He moves in slow motion and she is rushing.
Then he moves forward and she slows down.

Timing is her worst enemy.
She is never on time with love
And she blames it on him, obviously,
What else can she do?

Cause he moves in slow motion inside and outside her
and never stops.



She looks outside at the lake
And smiles back at a memory of an innocent
Yet powerful
Infatuation.

Do you remember how was being halfway in love with him?
When all you have of him now is a white coffee,
And an Americano pronounced in two different ways,
And conversations about unaware admissals of truth,
Because he hides and you stopped playing a while ago.


Cause he moves in slow motion inside and outside her
and never stops.


Slow motion, she dances a bit,
In slow motion someone's steps look even more unbelievable.
While she goes back to what she did not want to accept
And she sees his eyes,
Eyes she cannot erase from her mind
Of a summer night and of hammering unaswered questions,
Will you be there tomorrow?
Will you be there, where I am, ever again?
Like tonight?

And there is no pride,
no despair,
just a slow motion movement
for everything must have a place
and there is a place for everything.
Even when he is showered by hearts and shuts them away,
everything he cannot handle of me
today.

I don't assign roles,
for you to play,
But I do see them.

She wonders,
why he never stops moving,
why do we constantly evolve
why do we jump and then step away
why do we agree on smelling each other
as two animals trying to understand
if we can trust our skins.



Cause he moves in slow motion inside and outside her
and never stops.

Our smell.
all that we suffer at distance.

And she feels like staying in silence
a corner of thoughts
for those who want to see them,
for him, who slows down
and then rush back
where he started.


Cause he moves in slow motion inside and outside her
and never stops.
Never stops beating.

Beautiful writing as always.

Have you looked at Paulo's site today?

"Never ever give up"

I just glanced and will read later... I just can't now as I've been giving up for several days.

Timing is everything in Love and War they say.... and mine just plain sucks as I battle with both.

I hope some others read and leave better comments for you then I.... you deserve them.

The best comments come from people who understand. And you clearly do. So there's no better comment. I will read Paulo now..sounds promising..

Thanks :)
I went back and read his post... more then once, which is what I always do before anything begins to sink in. But right now I don't know if I can trust the Universe, or I don't trust what it's trying to tell me. So I'm kinda blocked at the moment although several times in the last few days I said, "I'll never give up!" But then I do. I'll sleep on it once again.

Hope you get something from it though.
—lemme know if ya do :)

The warrior of light already said that. And personally I find it is true. I am just not good enough to reach different solutions for a prblem that keeps presenting. I am not good enough to trust the Universe, that is my torment.

Kinda neat... but no more "recent comments" on the side though :(
Can't find where I left off.
I do like the "snapshot" option, you always find such nice photos to go with your words... made me go places I'd miss otherwise.

Let me be your Muse

Breathing is just a rhythm. Let me help you create the music. Let me be your Muse, the one lightening you. Living is not believing. Let me help you believe in something more. Let me be the one driving your pen, kindling your inner language, pulling it all out. Let me speak your language, let me teach you my language. Do trust me, do let me enter. Do talk to me, as if I was a song to be written, Please, please, let me light your sun, the sun you are suffocating inside your dark soul. Let me be your Muse, that is all I've ever needed, all I've ever wanted. To be your Muse. Play my music, act my script, please, listen to my words, recite them, recite them all, but not as if they were cold and heartless, do take them in you, make them yours. Let them inspire you. Let my words inflame you. Let me inspire and inflame you. Don't ask me to be one among the others, Do not oblige me to remain silent and to hide who I am. Do not ask normality of me, Dare an...

Because He is the One

They say that when you meet the One you feel it, deep inside of you, something tingles. You try to suffocate  it because there is no way you can be right, after all the times you have been wrong. And certainly he is not the One. He can't be, he will try to escape, from you, from commitment, from intimacy, from proximity. They say that there is a moment, in everyone's life, when you know that you need to fight. And fight harder for a love, or something really similar to love, that is slipping away, that is not blossoming as it should. What happens, when do you know when is the right time to start fighting? Perhaps when do you feel that he is the One? Or when is it that you let it go instead and accept that it is over? They say that the more you grow up the more you learn to know what you like and what you will never like. They say that at some point you are bound to find people who seems to be the right ones and are not, just because of the circumstances. So...

Millennium Bridge

Mid Afternoon, with the Millennium Bridge embraced by such a weird sun, too powerful to be London, too bright. One never gets to appreciate how big is the bridge until one sees the people walking down it. Stories passing by. So humble. And suddenly I remember that night when I called him because some romantic musician was playing 'Let it be' on the bridge. And those lights...oh those lights on the Millennium bridge that night. In my eyes. Trapped in my heart. And I remember how he was touched by this gesture. One of my usual silly romantic gestures. I sit on some stone stairs which lead directly to the water of the Thames. Directly in the river. Dirty waters but smelling of summer, today, kissed by the sun, moved by the implacable wind. I stare at a couple sitting a bit before me. She is fat, he is bold., they kiss and they seem in love. They share the food. They probably found that compromise which allows every man and woman in love to accept the beloved one without getting ne...
