Glória Sofia

 

Glória Sofia

 

Mute Night

 

Carcass of my being

Shake like the sail of the lost boat

Asked by the sigh of the wind

My heart inhales the color of emptiness

Footsteps sleep on the harness

Anchoring clowns' dreams

My eyes divorce from the moon

It rains cold light without tears

Thirsty time swallows my energy

Stars tear soul dress

And I reduce to the brightness of the mute night

 

 

Eternal Night

 

Sky is no longer a volcano that expels the sun

Souls echoed through the nose

The mountains hid the clouds

Moon gave birth to the melody of light

The sea excruciates the colors

Memories flutter with voracious waves

The stars burn my feel

I know I will never dawn

The moonlit night perpetuated me

 

 

 

Piano Voice

 

This voice of fire dancing with water

Consume my memories

Like the rays that devour the earth

Words make dreams bitter

Overflowing the body, affection

I faint in a colorless cloak

My soul hurts the horizon

My emotions pass out

In a taste of the quiet breeze

They pierce the sky with the voice of the piano

Forming the stars that eternalize

On this banging poetry night
