Lynette Dias Gouveia Poems

You difficult man
Let me into your soul
My hand is outstretched
For you to hold
...

So sweet; so innocent, the child of heaven
Fallen into revulsion, called Earth
Calling out to the depraved to love
And be loved
...

High in the mountains
Weathered in cold
A man of young
Has now grown old
...

I sought light in darkness and darkness in light
I lost time and wasted in anticipation

I awaited flowers in autumn and snow in spring
...

The disease crept silently
It took over my thoughts
It eroded me and left me cruelly
Depressed and stupid
...

I am the walking light
I am the vigilant night
I am the longing sight
I am the tentative plight
...

I was trodding through a lonely path in my life
A broken heart; A wretched mind

A time when love didn’t exist anymore
...

You are an element of my body
Progeny of my soul
The core of my being
I look at you and lose sight of myself
...

Why do we breathe, immutable compulsive lies?
Have we lost our fear, of the strength of the skies.

What is the essence of pain can anybody tell me?
...

In the darkness
Lay me down
In confinement
...
