My Quest and the deep blue ocean - by Tisha

My Quest

Paradise found….paradise lost,

an everlasting quest,

for the unknown enigma that is you.,

Just out of reach,

so near

yet so unreachable.

A distant memory

of your soft brown eyes,

full of compassion, mirth and fire,

your hair, with bronze highlights,

shining in the late afternoon sun.

your aura of mystery and  intelligence,

all mixed together,

is all that my mind recalls.

Your closeness disconcerted me 
at our farewell,

a soft brush of your sensual lips 
against mine,

your eyes wildly surprised 
at my unsuspected gesture.

If only you knew,

how my heart is yearning

for your touch,

for your voice whispering my name

softly behind my ear,

for your lips touching my sensitive neck.

The gates of paradise would open

in all its glory,

and reveal pent-up emotions

of unpredictable magnitude.

fire and lust,

desire and a promise of fulfillment

But my incompleteness just deepens,

with the uncertainty

of a re-encounter

of unfinished desires,

left unattended for too long.

Paradise lost on the horizon,

as I stare sad and without hope

at the immense ocean before me.

Vida Meia - Half Life - Alpha

VIDA MEIA                                                                      HALF LIFE

O sentir que me depreda                                 The feeling that haunts me                                

Não cabe nas horas que o dia tem                     does not fit in the hours of the day

Fecho os olhos, abro a alma                                 I close my eyes, and open my soul

Vejo-te adejar em meu redor.                                 And see you flutter around me.

Não sei bem quem és                                                I’m not sure who you really are

Minha flor de lotus,                                                     my lotus flower

Mas as asas do desejo que brandes                     but the wings of desire that you wield

Quando, qual anjo celestial,                                  when like a heavenly angel

te moves em meu redor                                            you move around me,

Desarticulam a existência                                           Breaks up the existence

que em mim encerrava.                                                that encloses me

Sinto-te de tal modo,                                            I feel you in such a manner,

Insanamente intenso,                                             so insanely intense

Que a brisa desse teu brandir                                  That the breeze that you wield

Me faz gravitar em teu redor.                                    makes me gravitate around you

Nada mais existe…                                                       nothing else exists….

E mesmo o que antes era certo                              And even that which was right before,

Hoje, com a mirada do teu sussurrar,                       Today, with the sound of your whisper

Queda-se enturvecido.                                                becomes vaguely clouded.

E este palpitar é tão mais estranho                         And this throbbing is even more strange

Que mesmo nesta ofuscação                                   when even in this dimness

A luz flui de forma translúcida                               A light flows in a translucent form

E a vida que possuo                                            And the life that I have

Parece apenas meia                                         only seems half-lived

Incompleta                                                       incomplete

Quase sem sentido.                                       almost meaningless.
