Ananda Alves Poems

I feel the air with a kind of tension
I stare at you standing close to the window
Smoking your cigarette in a peaceful way
Distant look in your eyes
...

Your absence consumes me so hard
Just hard as your unbearable presence
...

I may not be present, honey, but
I've never forgotten you,
not even for a second.
...

Hush, little baby
Don't complain, it's too late
Your bed is already set
With a blanket made of stars.
...

Just a few doubts to make one sure.
Just a few mistakes to make one regret.
Just a few memories to make one forget.
...

Relax, little girl
Why don't you take some rest?
You must eat something good
Taking a shower have effect
...

She wakes up
Grabs a cup of coffee
Tells herself everything is alright
...

She's got a picture of him on her desk
She tries to write but she can't
His eyes drags hers into them like a magnet
...

Patched lips
Locked fears
Delusional breath
...

He gets out of the couch
Stretches a little bit
Takes a look around
No lights, no sounds
...
