JG Correa Poems
The night is singing with sighs of love
From its corridors, rays of light pattern magnetic nanodots
I cross the night
Suffering from love's pain
...
What freedom can dispense with proper critique
When outsourced cult opinions struggle by?
Which impartial critic is without archetypes
And clichés drawn from vernacular maligners?
...
AURORA VALERIANA
In Paul Valéry, the morose confusion
Works dreamlike, dissipating from the rose
...
He wakes up in infinite, condensed satin.
He likes fireplace mantles famished in granite.
The best honey is a tasted kiss, and
Pure poetry is prototype candidness
...
Let us wander about the streets of Noto,
and think upon what is a thought made of.
An ultimate regard to its trees' stillness
must evoke treasured vedute unburied.
...
All the paths converge to the metropolis.
Love's ways, however, reach up to the infinite.
At the extremity of the fog, stores,
and stairs travel to the upper plateaus
...
I could not stand withered rimes any more.
So, I went searching for a full-blown teacher,
A sensible scholar of proven age,
A sound retainer of past ages' wisdom,
...
Once upon a time a prince came to rescue
His beloved imprisoned in a tower
As he galloped a black stallion, the maiden
Intact, produced an immaculate handkerchief,
...
While destinies are connected by the traffic
bodies are drained by avenues, streets, slopes,
viaducts, tree-lined lanes, tunnels and bridges.
Lest answers come from the dark, lights shall signal
...
As I invoked the brightness of intelligence,
the cosiness of antiquated boroughs
workèd dreamlike in my mind, and arose
the heraldic point of the sun's emergence
...
Among my ancestors, Toussaint Grugel
has always been a most curious subject.
Grugel was a 16th Century Frenchman
who travelled to, and settled down in Rio.

The Best Poem Of JG Correa
Nocturnal Passion
The night is singing with sighs of love
From its corridors, rays of light pattern magnetic nanodots
I cross the night
Suffering from love's pain
Now, maybe my wishes have been granted
I felt you were coming quickly to save me
As your arms used to bloom in the month of August
Undecided, though, I hesitated further
Till I left the land of desire and illusion forever
To wander about the city
And let my soul vanish in thin air, half asleep
It's late now
The thermometer signals zero degrees
Fatality, thy performance is called a finishing bonus
