You have been travelling (and that stupid problem of office doesn't help), but hopefully sometime soon you'll write a new poem. In the meantime, I have this desperate need to leave you a comment (are your poems, your blog, my addiction? Maybe so, and as addictions go, I reckon it is a good one, ha ha ha.. <br />There is something that draws me back to this poem. I have left too many comments already and read it lots of times, but if I am addicted to your poetry, this, and two or three others (or four or five) and the core of my addiction. I love the honesty in your poetry, the vulnerability, the openness, the passion, desire, and the intelligence, the sexuality, the freeness. You have an ability (as I have told you many times) to make your own feelings universal, all the while you are fighting your own battles, your own demons, your own pain. Reading your poems, especially the confessional ones, I feel so close to you, I can see inside your mind (or at least the way you describe it), but at the same time I always find parallels with my own life, there are always lines which touch me, which especially sum up things in my life... Sometimes these feelings have nothing to do with what you originally wrote, but with the magic of the poem, which can somehow take its own life. Tonight this poem made me think of many things, mostly good (to do with desire, love, making love, being with someone who wants to be with you), but it also - and don't ask me how - reminded me of something bad that happened to me recently, I am almost over it (there is a poem on the way, when I have time)... sometime soon I will explain (I keep threatening, one day I will hahah)<br />In the meantime, my dear friend, immortal poet to be, keep writing, keep believing in your talent and gifts, no mater what!!Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-62176596271203547762013-04-20T01:02:33.237-03:002013-04-20T01:02:33.237-03:00whenever I open your blog,it comes to this poem :-...whenever I open your blog,it comes to this poem :-) it´s a good choice ha hahaha I miss your poetry, it is special (as I have told you many, many times). It is your way of fighting your ghosts, of purging yourself, but it is universal as well.

I just wrote you a long and crazy comment, but blogger ate it... :-( Let me see if I can rewrite it...<br />I know I have probably written too many comments on this poem, but tonight I feel like writing once again. Sorry!!! :) I hope it isnt too personal ha haha<br />Today was complicated, life can attack you sometimes, wear you out... I got over it. But today is St Patrick´s day. I would love to be able to celebrate it, but I can´t. And I hoped to hear from my family, I thought they might send me messages... but they didnt. Instead of moping and letting the loneliness in, I decided to fight against it and re-read some of your poems. I did (and left another comment). But when I got to this one, something magical happened. I have read it hundreds of times, but tonight, it seemed to touch me in another way. It seemed written for me - and that is am amazing talent you have, what you write is universal). So I read it again, and it realy struck me how honest, amazing, sexy, crazy (in a good way), erotic, brave and open it was. It just blew me away - and not for the first time. It also made me feel less lonely/homesick... Maybe I am crazy, but your poetry is a special connection between us. I feel privileged to read it - and to see inside your heart, your mind, your soul! Really privileged. Thank you for that, and for all the good things your poetry has done for me!!!<br />I could probably write lots more,but I should end!!!<br />Happy St.Patrick´s Day to you! (And maybe tomorrow my facebook will be full of St patrick´s wishes for me ha hahahah)<br />Keep writing, my friend, keep writing Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-50084162502621329302013-01-06T23:15:47.440-02:002013-01-06T23:15:47.440-02:00I haven´t left you any comments for so long (in pa...I haven´t left you any comments for so long (in part cause the internet has been a little difficult here, on the very, very edge of Europe - if I jumped in the sea I could swim straight to Brazil without touching land.. it would be a long swin, about 5,000 km, ha ahhaha but I am really on the edge of Europe! I am also busy, mainly with Val, and then with the big translation I am really not getting done ha haha) I am missing both writing comments, and reading new poems. I know you are probably way too busy now (or is everything almost ready??) Hopefully when you reach France you will have time to write lots and lots. I hope so, it is an amazing talent you have (as I have told you many times), but I know it is also something essential for you, it is your therapy, or better/worse, your oxygen, it is part of you! And it makes me so happy and proud to be a little part of your poetry! :-)<br />Talk soon, saudadesEoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-61193045746562791932012-08-30T01:30:17.272-03:002012-08-30T01:30:17.272-03:00It´s been so long since I left a comment...I have ...It´s been so long since I left a comment...I have been meaning to, but this months is complicated, I am killing myself with work. After what you told me tonight, I have to say parabens!! I know you have many, many new fans (I just hope they dont read the comments, I am shy about these things..). You deserve this success.. you have many gifts (and we talked about some of these today, you ability to be by yourself, to follow different roads, etc.. and of course your poetry. Until know it haas been something you have written for you - written cause you have to, to survive, to make sense of this complicated and crazy world, and I know I have helped you in this (which makes me happy) - but I think soemhting is changing, and slowly over the next couple of years, you are going to become known as a poet whether you want to or not)... I hope you do - though in your own time, cause you know what I think of your talent!!!<br />Just before closing, this poem really has had an impact on me, I keep re-reading it, and I just love it.. I am writing a response to it. Soon I will show you!!!<br />Keep writing!!!Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-50321807805968085142012-08-17T01:03:29.408-03:002012-08-17T01:03:29.408-03:00I am having a complicated (in a bad way) day, so I...I am having a complicated (in a bad way) day, so I am re-reading your poems, trying to cheer myself up - there are days when thing after thing goes wrong, or turns into a complicated situation, when even close friends seem far away.. sounds like I am writing a sad poem here ha ha ha.. You know what I mean. Your poetry helps drive away this darkness. I must some day print out your poems, maybe even make a little book, so it would be easier to read :-)<br />More seriously, I re-read your poetry a lot, and it always seems fresh and different, offering new insights.. However, there are a few poems of yours (my favourites) which really, really touch me. This is one. I hope you write others like it (and soon!!!) <br />Keep writing, keep nurturing that talent!!Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-49713784569034707252012-08-06T00:06:53.028-03:002012-08-06T00:06:53.028-03:00I am going to nominate you... :-)

It is probably just for English poetry, but I will translate it and submit it ha haha! Bad me! OK, I wouldn´t... cause I would have too much trouble choosing ONE poem!! I think you would stand a very good chance of winning (and in case you don´t read the link, it is for a digital poetry prize, so it has your name written on it..). :-)<br />Saudades (de ti e de sua poesia tambem..) Is that correct? I´m too stressed tonight to think in Portuguese properly.

Valentina fell asleep late and we are going to parati tomorrow so we are packing.. I hate packing... <br />Your poem. I loved it. You, as I told you, have made an amazing poem even greater, even better. There are so many things about this poem - and the revised version - that I am not sure where to start. I understand what you said earlier, but I really don´t think you exaggerated. You are being more brave, maybe even more daring, but not exaggerated! The poem is now more sexy, or erotic, but it is not pornographic or anything.. it is a fantasy, but it is not sordid or ultra-explicit or anything. In fact, I think it is rather sweet... though I have to admit reading it, especially that part I asked you about, certain ideas and questions came to my mind. But more importantly than that, it is brilliant poetry, mixing fantasy and serious questions about yourself, about you life - and I think about you and relationships. You are not someone to be parafusado!!!<br />It is funny, but I think this poem is very much a pair, a part 2, to the first poem of yours I read (Bom Dia). Obviously in this one, you deal with much more, but there are similarities... and differences, interesting differences (they are from different times in the life of the artist ha hahah... I am in the middle of translating art history, I have to be careful not to sound like an art historian ha ha ha).<br />Another thought that occured to me, something that I am not sure how to express, is that you write well about sex, rarely explicitly, always sweetly and gently, but at the same time it grabs the readers attention, makes them think. You are very honest about this and open, which as I have told you is very brave. However, I think in this world - and maybe more so in Zona Sul Carioca, things are different from men and women, what they can say, express, think... You are breaking away from a pattern, forging a new female poetry maybe...:-) As far as I recollect the work of P.C. was a bit like that (but I am not too sure, I meant to buy a copy for myself, but never found it!!). I will say more on this another day, maybe in an email.<br />Be very proud of yourself for this poem (and your poetry in general - and for reading all of my too long comment) :-)Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529731972349856166.post-39406278272143304382012-07-16T12:57:50.633-03:002012-07-16T12:57:50.633-03:00An amazing poem... I told you that last night. Whe...An amazing poem... I told you that last night. When I read it really touched me, moved me, blew my mind.. I re-read it this morning, to see if could spot the changes (they were mainly style, weren´t they? by the way there is a maintenant still not in italics :-), when I re-read it, it still had the same powerful effect on me. This has been the best thing you have written in ages.. it is hard to say why I liked it so much - maybe because it brings together the things I like best in your poems, the confessional nature (though I know this is more of a fantasy), writing what you feel and about your feelings, your Portuguese, your style.. But this poem is more than this. It is a sexy poem (in a good way, a powerful way), you convey your feelings, wants, desires, powerfully, attractively, but not in a 'cheap' way, you know what I mean. But in addition, I really like the idea of the parafusos and being desparafusada.. Actually, here I don´t think the poem is fantasy. In part it sounds like you are talking about things that are really on your mind, and are important to you. Stay desparafusada.. it is a harder path (I know) but it is better :-)<br />There is so much more I could say - I could probably write pages on this poem, publish an article, ha ha haha :-) But for now I will stop. Just once again, it is amazing. Your talent for poetry is so strong, follow it..<br />:-)Eoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460171770621434739noreply@blogger.com
