AND SO WE GO TO THE STARS

AND SO WE GO TO THE STARS

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

***

The day your flesh and mine were only one

The feeling of freedom, no emptiness inside

Your smell lingers on my skin

I feel your long blond hair among my fingers

***

Love was meant to be

Lover's heart, pilgrims, souls searching for the mistery

Purity, divinity

The day I got you under my skin

***

Marble castles, ivory towers

Ebony eyes in such a pale skin

Love at first sight

***

Feelings always mingled with a certain apprehension

Love was meant to be

And so we go to the stars

THE POSSESSED HOUSE

THE POSSESSED HOUSE

by Marcelo Maciel de Almeida

***

Echoes from the past

Memories that never last

A flashlight before an eye

The gap between Ego and I

***

The subconscious is hidden inside

Stairs go down where no one can abide

The burdens I will bear

Forever in dispair

***

Voices calling for help

An endless echo in my soul

Old houses, ancient history, eternity

***

The memory of heavy wooden clocks with thick glasses

Pieces of furniture built in a time where beauty was supposed to be

Yesterday, it was supposed to be - the possessed house...
