Through the harsh wind I press on
Slow steps and careful footing

Steady and weak
I strive after your shadow far ahead

The leaves fall furious and dizzy all around me
The branches yelling an unkind warning
The path that lay ahead is obscure and dangerous
Yet I call back to them the necessity to bring a word to you

Cold and slow the tears burn my cheeks
As I walk ahead through this selfish storm
I fall behind and struggle to find you

Desperate to reach you
The word bleeding in the back of my throat

As I reach a shore the sinking sand grips my feet
And far I see your shadow trapped amongst the high angry waves
Your face happy and your body healed

The trees tug at my clothes and tear my skin harshly
The leaves tangle my hair as the wind clasps my wrists
Even the sands restrained my ankles enough to sink my toes

They warn me I cannot pursue you further
For you go where no one can follow

At last I can fight them no more so I scream to the sea
Goodbye
And hope you hear me
CurlyManu

In the rain under shelter I stand
Watching you with a careful smile
Once I looked, twice I stared
And with a smirk my heart forever more you stole

Your cold hand I wish to take
And soft you whisper "come dance with me"
Slow I ask "why am I to take this dance?"
And proud you say "it's my birthday!"
CurlyManu

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But Baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

"The Story" - Brandi Carlile
CurlyManu
You were suppose to be everything I dreamed
But alluring and mischievous you led me astray
Into my heart your poisoned words crept
And with them you lured me into your trap

In a remote place under the cloak of stars
Your dark shadows pin me down
Whispering demons in dark contours
With faces covered and hands cold

As I realize your true intentions
The pain is shielded by a soul that knows what is to come

As you steal my future and sanity
I dwell on broken dreams and promises
As you tear away from me all which defines me
Silent tears overflow my face but not a sound escapes me

Dawn's first light shines on my face
But is too late to warm me
The sun's feeble hope has no effect on me

And as my soul soars into the sunrise
Hasty footsteps approach
And with the crowd a sea of screams
But they need not worry

For I can see no more shadows
I can hear no more lies
And at last I can feel no more pain
CurlyManu
There is no escaping me
To share my hurt and memories
To free my soul of the war within
I come to claim you with a hurricane

I see through its raging wind
I speak through its thundering storm
The blowing trees my arms
The smashing waves my will

Relentless and unforgiving
My flood will overpower you

The anger of my wind will drive you
The force of my stream will guide you

I will become you
My name is revenge
CurlyManu
Life sneaked upon me from behind shadows and dreams
Drowning my wishes in the icy water of an angry sea
Disappearing under the waves until I can remember them no more

It had been expecting me for a while
As I stood on the thin sand just a stiff wet shell
Watching myself dissolve in the waves
Sighing within the rising water's grasp

I hear love calling through the sound of the wind
With the song of footsteps running towards me
And a kiss of hope

In a whispered lie I tell him I am not afraid
If life has come to claim us
I cannot keep it waiting

Recklessly in the angry tide of Life we shall swim
And against the tide we will prevail
CurlyManu
The little girl forever watched the mountains ahead
She watched the leaves change from green to gold,
From gold to brown and fade away

She watched the colours wave from white of snow to ripe summer's fruits
She watched until she was little no more and knew all the leaves and hills
And all the shapes and shadows her mountain made

On the other side an ocean roared and a little boy forever watched ahead
He watched the seagulls nest and the waves ravish the rocks
He watched the storms' fury and he felt the angered wind

He saw the sea fill and go wild and the way it was low and still
He saw the colours change from midnight blue to chilly green
He watched untill he was little no more and knew all the waves and all the rocks
And the tides and the winds his sea made and endured

On a daring day he climbed the mountain high to watch his sea
On a daring day she ventured in her friendly trees up the mountain side
In a flick of fate they crossed the same path and both knew there was no turning back

They stared unspoken while the seasons changed
In her face he saw the tides and winds and the seagulls song
In his face she saw the golden leaves fall and snow cover the mountain top
They saw the storms on the far deep blue and flowers and fruits on the trees

And so they walked to where the trees turn to sand
Embraced in lover's arms watching the sea and the mountain for all eternity

The fire... A will, a want, a dream.

Some of us long for a fire to appear on the horizon of our life, something for us to fight for, a purpose to give meaning to our dull days. We long for it... We wonder how others reach so high and how we are left behing stuned at their success, trampled in their pursuit.

Some of us fight relentlessly, struggle to keep the flames in sight, to reach the horizon at whatever cost! In the end it doesn't matter what the trail behind us looks like for we never look back and nothing is as important as the fire that consumes our very thoughts.

Some of us are consumed by a ever so far horizon... Forever out of reach. We can not stop, we can not give up, we are addicted to the chase. Driven down to our bones to fight for something that we can never reach. An impossible achievement we just must obtain.

When the horizon burns... Who will u be?
CurlyManu
In the desert of my mind I stumble
The waves of fire in the distance

Lure me and provoke every corner of me

Making my thoughts grow wild and lose

They enticed me to seek them
They made me run untill time stood still

Not afraid not in a haste I ran



I feel my face hasn't changed
The years have faded in my memory
I remember nothing but the run and the stillness

No sound to comfort me
No wind to cool me
No cloud to shade me
Only sun and moon forever

I run to the flames far away
Feeling the burn in my legs
My heart telling me I won't make it

But the dream and the rush
Prevent me from giving in
For to you my fire I must run

I have ran to you for as long as I can remember
And in my final moments
My heart was right I couldn't make it

But at last I run no more
And feel no more
No kind moon and no harsh sun
For the first time in a thousand years I sleep

And the fire consumes my dreams as I have always wished
CurlyManu


All day I long for it
The nightly phone call
The warmth of my bed
The release from the long empty hours of the day


The effortless work of sleeping and being empty
For you are far away and I am completely unoccupied
The slow and gentle spin of the earth that soothes me
Like a rocking chair in the cold of the wind and rain

My purposeless day goes on until night saves me and we can be together
For all the things I busy my mind and tire my limbs with
I have only you to fill my heart and my soul and then I can sleep again

The warmth of the sheets and comfort of my bed trap me
I do not wish to face another day so I sleep the morning away

If I cannot live then I wish to sleep and if I cannot sleep
You are only a phone call away

CurlyManu
I hear the cold wind ahead
The ringing noise that soars past
The whisper of pain in my ears and bones

I try to lean on you again
But you are never there
Through the tears of memories past I see you
But you are only a ghost of my mind
The memory I've been chasing for years

I see the night and the dark
And I feel hope evade
It flows into the ground and the earth
Making me week and dizzy

But you are never out of reach
For you live in my heart

The sun will soon rise for me
And though I am blind and grey
You will be there for me
And I will forever see you and chase you

For home is only in your arms
And rest will come when I catch you
CurlyManu
In your arms, on this beautiful day, I thank you
Thank you for the chocolates you give me everyday
Thank you for waiting for me when I arrive
Thank you for waiting with me when I leave
Thank you for the flowers
Thank you for your messages
Thank you for your sweet words
Thank you for your kind gestures
Thank you for kissing me when I don´t realise
Thank you for complimenting me when I don´t ask
Thank you most of all for loving me for who I am


I look down at my hands and see they are old and stained and wrinkled

I look at your face and can barely see what you look like
I see your smile and remember the young man you used to be

In the warmth of your faint hug I laugh for I remember all the good times we had together
I remeber the love you gave me and the devotion we shared
I remember the laughs we gave and the jokes we made
I remember the heat of the sun and the tan of your skin

You have come for me to take me
And with ease I will follow
CurlyManu



I look out the window and watch the rain
And the cold streams going down the road
The driping of endless thoughts soothes me

I long to be outside to feel the cold on my skin
To follow the pebbles and the leaves
On adventures I envy and wish I could join
But I enjoy the warmth of the window
And the protection of the glass

I look down on the water
And smile and feel warm
I hear nothing but the storm outside

All of the sudden courage takes hold of me
My movement owns me and drags me to the door
One final thought, a whisper, seduces me (Why not?)

My heart is full for I have escaped this world seen through glass
With rain and wind and leaves and pebbles as my only friends
CurlyManu
I am exhausted

It shows from every pore in my body
The tears in my eyes
The pain in my flesh
The emptiness is me

My eyes are filled with tears
Not for the pain in my soul
Not for the ache in my bones

In the emptiness of the world
I wait
In the clenching of the throbs
I persist

Holding on to the words in your song
And the music in my heart

And the tears in my eyes
Won't fall, won't fade
My strength evades me

I am exhausted
CurlyManu
Like the sun though the rain clouds
I see you there standing in the rain
I take small steps and I smile

I wet my lips and take a deep breath
I tilt my head and hope I seduce you

You take my hands and kiss me
The rain drops so cold on your face
And your hug so safe and welcome

A thousand sensations down my spine
But not a single doubt in my heart
CurlyManu
I have been asleep but now i am awake
I let the water flow to the emptiness of the sea
But I couldn't keep up

I look at the water passed
And see all the times I cried and all the times I smiled
I see knots untied and bitter lose ends

Like in the eye of a hurricane I stood unmoved and unchanged
The wind blowing around me
And the leaves of my thoughts blown far away

But I awoke and took slow steps out of safety
Soon I was caught in the drafts and the dampness of the rain
The drops and tears mixed on my skin and I was lost

Now I look at the sea of my memories
And regret the bitter taste of lost opportunities
I see myself in a broken glass lying on the floor

For the first time in this storm
I can see, I can hear and I can breathe
I can admit I am too proud to change all the things I said and wish I didn't
I can long to replace them with all the words I never spoke and wish I had
CurlyManu



O amor é muitas coisas... Mas mais que palavras é um sentimento e como uma imagem vale por mil palavras.

O amor é:

E também é:

E é, mas não só:




CurlyManu
Like a blossom in the dew, my hands are cold
My lips have run dry
And the endless wind chills my bones

A whistle of the trees and the stillness of the birds
Makes me cry for I am lonely

A longing so deep fills my heart and keeps it from stopping
My mind is slow and my thoughts can do no more
Than repeat to me "I am lost"

I try to walk and fight the night
But my strength has given up on me
I lie to my soul and tell her I can make it
She feigns a smile but doesn't believe me

And in my eyes I see a light
That doesn't warm and doesn't scare me
It shines no hope for it is only the moon
Trying to cheer me

In vain I walk and search
For he will never find me
And then my mind
Will play a trick on me:

In the cold I'll see him stand
And his eyes will find mine
I feel his warmth and as I smile
My heart will cry for he knows they are tricking me

The tears freeze in the wind
But I am happy
Because my final words he will hear
And forever know I loved him

And as the sun rises my soul will fly
Deceived and happy
forever longing and searching and waiting
Until the day he joins me
