great expectations

...you can always aim for the sky: getting there will entirely depend on which [or whose] wings you grow [or take]

star gazing

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams
No request is to extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue

Fate steps in and see's you through
Baby when you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

When you wished upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams come true

[I am someone's star]

love restrained

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain,
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one

claire de lune

nos meus sonhos volto a essa praia deserta e escura
onde te encontrei nua,
onde me perdi, me entreguei, me encontrei
em ti, à noite e à lua

list of essentials

Submissive to everything, open, listening
Try never get drunk outside your own house
Be in love with your life
Something that you feel will find its own form
Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
Blow as deep as you want to blow
Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind
The jewel center of interest is the eye within the eye
Accept loss forever
Believe in the holy contour of life
Struggle to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
Don't think of words when you stop but to see picture better
Keep track of every day the date emblazoned in your morning
No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge
You're a Genius all the time

what colour are your dreams?

The most important thing about dreams it’s their colour.

The shape, form and paths of dreams do change. They are different from time to time: they depend on where [and who] you are. But while you still have a spark, [while your eyes are still able to glow,] the colours of your dreams won't change. Even if, as you go through life, you use more of a given colour, or even change your palette, the basic colours of your dreams [your true desires, what makes you happy and complete] do not change.

One important thing is that all colours [by themselves] are neutral: they’re neither good nor bad [it is us who choose which way they go]. They just are. Personal, unique and yours to take. For the better and for the worse.

Each person dreams are always complex, with a different mix of colours that makes them unique. There are 5 different pigments that can paint your dreams.

Red is the colour of passion.
For life, love, friendship and every strong feeling you may long for. It is intense. It can drive you to the most romantic love stories, the worst human tragedies, or to insanity. Red does not give up: it keeps its path no matter what, it likes the risk, to lead and inspires others to follow. It is the colour of all of those who like to be challenged, to fight, and to pursue what they want. [If not careful it can become too selfish and self-centred].

Blue is melancholic, introspective and intelligent.
It loves to rationalize, to organize everything around, to dwell in the past and to question [and doubt] everything. It is responsible for the major human achievements in science, philosophy, and [some] poetry. It always has an explanation [or a question] for everything [either for matters of the heart or the mind], it loves predictability and tranquillity.
[If not careful, it leads to insecurity, indecision, and laziness]

Yellow is the colour of lightness.
Everything is happy, light and care-free. The Yellow neither cares about tomorrow nor yesterday. It longs for the moment, the today, for spontaneity. For bright summer days, music and dance. For everything that is close and can happen now. It likes simplicity, and purity of feelings and thoughts. It never stays long, always seeking for new experiences.
[if not careful it is aloof and totally detached of the world and everyone]

Green [the unthinkable child of the Blue and the Yellow], is the colour of hope, of imagination and [questioned by some] a whole colour of its own.
The green loves to daydream, to imagine worlds, romances and adventures. Every leaf is a door to another world, every look a gate to a different soul and a different universe much more fascinating than the previous one. Green loves to see the world with a different [and unique] set of eyes, and spice it up with a careful sense of aesthetic beauty and creativity. It is the colour of the arts, of painters, writers and the storytellers.
[if not careful it can lead to delusion, mix of realities, and deceit]

Octarine is the colour of magic.
When present, octarine dominates all other colours, fading them into the background. It is the colour that transforms everything, a driving force for all other colours that does not believe in impossibility. It is not available to all: only wizards know how to paint dreams with it. And when you’re with one wizard [even if he doesn’t know he’s one], his octarine will flow into you, making everything more real, more clear and possible.
[octarine has a personality of its own, if not taken care of, it can leave you and dim every dream]

No matter what shape your dreams may have: to become a greatest movie start, a renowned scientist, to explore the universe, to fall madly in love and be loved back, to have a big family, to know the world, to embark in unique adventures, to be recognized, etc. whatever they are, they will have different forms and different paths.

If you happen to find that a given path does not lead to what you sought or that you didn’t made it, don’t loose faith. Do not get upset [at least not for long, after all, mourning lost dreams clears the path for new ones]. Your own colours should drive you, they will take you to a new path, a new form, a new shape, that will make your dreams come true.

It may not happen at first, it may not happen at your 10th attempt, but it will happen.
Never let your dreams be a blank canvas, and don’t give up.

After all, only when you know your true colours [,and you understand and accept that there is more than one path, one form, one shape], you will be able to create your own paintings, and bring your dreams and happiness into reality.

to forget a dream

what do you do, when you forgot how to forget?...
and when you don't remember how to dream?...

[I want to play]

Someone asks you to play, just play.
Enjoy your time in the sun and don't whine about it

comtesse d'haussonville

Men shall suffer in love and in awe for me. I shall inspire them to paint and write the most beautiful love stories, and to touch the hearts of others.
I was born to seduce men; they’re bound to be tangled in my beauty, and my games.
